Kansas won th" big nnual foot ball game from Missouri at Lawrence Saturday, and an Alma boy, "Butch" Stuewe, was a big factor in the winning. We knew, of coui-Be, that "Butch" would give.a good account of Himself, but to make eleven separate and distinct gains of from one to ten yardi in one game is mure than a record. In the Star's three column account of the game he is credited with gains of ever 30 ywds on straight line bucks, and eleven times'ihe is named as getting through the line. Alma is mighty proud to furnish one of mond as rootnimian and Lizzie Steimel as bridesmaid.

Advertising has been defined as the act of publicly announcing a fact, and has further been defined as salesmanship on paper While both of these are more or less true, advertising is nothing but the giving of business news with the purpose of creating a new want or supplying an existing want. It is readily seen that there i9 no limit to the accomplishment of good advertising, as there is no limit to the wants already created or that might be created.

The merchant is a dead one who doeB not realize that there are starving millions waiting for him to satisfy their wants or create for them new wants This advertising idea to create new wants and satisfy existing wants is no pew thing, as the Egyptians used handbills and posters made of papyrus H.nou years ago. Printing waB invented less than BOO years ago, and the newspapers were then Btarted. Soon afterwards advertising became associated with printing. The advertising idea originated over 30 centuries ago. Some present day merchants haven't got the idea yet.

With present day opportunities to advertise there is no limit to what one may accomplish in business lines The local merchant may easily double his local business. He has through the local paper a wonderfully cheap way to gain puoiicity. There is no newspaper read like the local paper, especially by the women, and the women do over 90 per cent of the trading.

Skeen, who on the face of the returns wbb defeated for re-election by L. T. Rice by one vote, filed a contest Tuesday. A number of causes for action are set forth in Mr Skeen's petition, but he bases his case principally on ballots that were rejected by the election boards in Wabaunsee, Plumb and Rock Creek townships because they were marked in some of the squares on the Republican ticket as well as in the circle at the head of that ticket.
