Coming to You” is a phrase with which you will become Al- ready, we have started the series of advertising, which will make the ex- pression a household one. ‘What does it mean? We have been asked that. The series of ad- vertising, just started, will bring the meaning out clearly in due time; but we don’t mind giving some ex- planation in advance. These 1. 0. U. coupons are to be placed, by prominent manufacturers, familiar within a short time. in the packages of products manu- factured by them. On each coupon, in plain figures, will be stated its face value. These coupons are good for face value, not for a specified list of magazines, books or premiums, which you must send away for, but for anything you wish to buy, right here at home. They are good, for instance, at this office, on-subscrip- tion, just the same as so 'much cash. They are good at the merchants, for goods, just the same as cash. So, in saving I. 0. U. coupons, you are sav- ing cash. Watch the ads. A REBUKE TO THE MANLY ART. Prize-fighting suffered a decided rebuff at the hands of a federal court recently. Oscar M. (Battling) Nel- son registered at an exclusive hotel -in Philedelphia. When his identity became known and while he was at breakfast, his baggage was removed The proprie- tor’s name is, very appropriately, Boldt, and that night when “Bat’ made application for acommodations, he found the doors of the inn, figur- atively. speaking, “bolted” against him. Boldt declared that “Bat” could not “come back”. Thereupon, “Bat” sued Boldt. The case is re- ported in 180 Federal, 779, and the West Publishing Company’s Docket, in commenting upon the case, say: “The jury found for defendant un- der instructions that it was for them to say whether one who had engaged in nearly one hundred hotly contest- ed battles in volation of the crimi- nal laws of many states was a proper person to enforce a legal right to hotel accomodations in the City of Brotherly Love. The jury seem not to have been greatly impressed with Mr. Nelson’s assertion that he was engaged in “athletics” and real es- tate transactions, with journalism ‘as a side line, nor with his further tes- from the hostelry. timony that “he always mixed with the best people in the world.” This last statement perhaps weakened plaintiff’s case, since the jury may have known that to “mix,” or “go against,” -are exoteric terms ns‘ed by devotees of the’squared circle to de- note ~a scrap, ‘and ‘that the “best people in the world,” as any reader of the sporting page knows, are those who can endure the most pounding for a percentage of the gate money and an interest in the films exhibit- ed.” I WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY‘I ‘Why No Editor. Why is'it that from the inception of this paper to the present time we never had an editor to sojourn in our midst? Other professions have been represented. Of preachers we- have had enough to furnish substance to an African chief for a year; of doc- tors enough to depopulate a state and lawyers enough to establish a good sized colony in hades.—Still- water State Prison Mirror. Felt Sure it Was “Yohnson”. The Foley Independent says that the Y in Sam Y. Gordon’s name stands for “Ypsilanti.” If the people haddiscovered that during the cam- paign-Sam would not have received S0 many votes as he did. Thous- ands who voted for him felt sure that the Y stood for “Yohnson.”—Prince- ton Union. When They Pass the Hat. That was a mean trick some villain played on the pastor of a Philedel- phia church who hung up a sign, “Do mot cough.” The miscreant added the word “up” to the legend.— Princeton Union. Gone With the Skirts. The polka, hoop skirts and honesty in politics went out of style many years ago.—Anoka Herald. Question of Smoking Up. Pierp Morgan spent $5,000 5,000 cigars for Christmas remem- brances for his friends. We ad- vised him early that we’d take “peer- less” for ours, as dollar cigars are a triflle high-reaching for this class of financial endeavor.—Messaba Ore. for Gets Next. “Bemidji Pioneer: Bemidji wants it and won’t be happy till she gets it —the commission form ment.” Which demonstrates that Bemidji knows what’s good for him.—Duluth Herald. of govrn- Pampered Pups. The dog doctor was making out a bill for the month’s expenses of a -Japa- nese ‘spaniel. The items were room rent, board, medical attendance and electric light. “Electric light?”‘exclaimed- his sec- retary. “What on earth does a dog need with electric light?” “He doesn’t need it at all,” sald the doctor, “but his owner has-ordered it, and he has been supplied with two eight-candle power lights every even- Ing he has been in the hospital. He is one of"those spoiled pups who were put to bed in a light room in their in- fancy, and now he cannot sleep in the dark. We always have two. or three of that kind on hand. They occupy & special ward where the lights burn all night long.”—New York Sun. Enthusiasm Dulled. “Don’t you-feel as if you would ltke to leave footprints in the sands of time?” asked the ambitlous citizen. “No,” answered Mr. Crosslots-gloom- {ly; “out where I live the mud is eight- een inches deep, and I don't feel as if 1" wanted to see another footprint as long as I live.”—Washington Star.
