Arkansas, the Democratic fastness

STRANGE CASK OF NAFTZGER.
The case of Levi 8. Naftzger, the
Wichita banker, who was convicted j
of selling stolen postage stamps, is|
one of those strange and almost in-
comprehensible instances of moral j
perversion that challenges more than
usual attention. Ordinary theft is
common. It is also not infrequent j

on a shady deal that will net them |

Besides Arkansas in the South the
two Virginias and Louisiana have re-

that the measure was an infringe-

might some time want to exercise.

ALWAYS ASSURED OF XKW STOCK
"It pays to advertise in the local
paper," said a business man recently,
"if for no other reason than that the
public is assured of purchasing no
shelf-worn goods. By advertising we
turn over our store more frequently
and while we charge the cost of ad-
vertising expense, it really is not an
expense, since It pays for itself in
additional patronage and we are not
compelled to offer our customers
shelf-worn goods." The public likes
to patronize a store where the goods
are new, and advertising, combined
with fairly Intelligent effort on the
part of the proprietor and clerks, will
assure the customer against old
stock. Therefore to be safe, always
