request for the immediate release of
Consular Agent Jenkins imprisoned at
i-ueb a, the latest American note to
ivloxieo made public here today, ar-
raigns the Mexican government's con-
duct in severe terms and character-

the American consular agent in the
intra caul ks of legal proceedings.
No ultimatum was served and no
indication was given out of what the
American government's course would
be If Jenkins is not immediately re-
leased.
The note begins by saying the Uni-
teod States declined to be drawn into
a judicial discussion of irrelevant or
unimportant matters, and says the re-
quest for the consular agent's release
is founded on right and justice.

ompany. Mr. Brcnnon was introduc
ed by W. C. French, prosldent of tho
Rotary club. Accompanying the ec-
ture was the Troubles of a Merchant,
moving picture showing how the
man who fcues.os about the var ous
processes of his business Is almoBt
certain to be more or loss of a failure
and sure to be the first to go to the
wall in time of stress.
The lecture and picture were ar-
ranged by the Rotary club of Drum-
•ight. It covered methods of adver-
tising, salesmanship and many of the
other points of the best modern busi-
ness practice.
Co-operation not cut-throat compe-
tition Is the keynote of to-day's busi-
ness, dec ared Mr. Brennan, and he
showed further on in his address how
the whotesaler and tho banker are
both partners of the retail merchant
in theBe days. He Bhowed how by
proper organization of a store the
burden of the business can be shared
by all the help and the owner bo that
all the weight need not bear down on
the one mind which should be most
free of care, namely the owner's. He
emphasized at the outset the fact that
In 1918 in the United States $163,019,-
979 had been lost through store fail-
ures.* 6494 stores being Involved in-
c tiding as the principal bUBineBs 693
general stores, 1969 grocery stores,
615 clothing and furnishing stores, 290
dry goods businesses, and 152 hard-
ware stores. Little leaks for the most
>art had sunk them all, and the hun-
dreds of other businesses which had
failed also.
rice cutting, said Mr. Brennan, is
principal cause of failures. letting
your competitor make the price is poor
business. Credit Is important. Credit
is as Important as capital in doing
busi ess. Good business methods are
essential to credit.
During his talk Mr. Brennan 'aid
emphasis on the value of newspaper
advertising to the retail merchants.
He said in part: I believe I am safe
in saying ten merchants have failed
because they advertise too little, to
everyone that failed because he ad-
vertised too much. Certainly hun-
dreds of stores have remained small
due to this neglect.
Advertising Is simply a way of te'l-
fng pos ible purchasers about the
goods you have for sale. Simple
words and direct statements should,
therefore, be used in preparing your
ads. Big words and involved sen-
tences will not be read. The purchas-
ing public doesn't care how well edu-
cated you are. It simp'y wants to
know what you have to sell, its qual-
ity, and its price.
Don't spend a few dollars in adver-
tising and then say advertising does
not pay. Advertising does pay as at-
tested by thousands of merchants who
have become successful through its
use, though sometimes it takes a lit-
tle time for it to bring maximum re-
turns. Make it a part of the continu-
ous policy of your store and you will
not be disappointed with result-!.
Seloct your advertising medium
the modern store owner knows, where
.no old fashioned owner simply guea-
ses. And with the aid of a second
film ho pictured the steady strides, of
