One day he thought he'd ury it when there was no danger in sight, just to see his comrades scramble. And he did. The next day he cried “Wilf!” in real earnest, but no one paid any attention to him, and he fell prey to the wolves. Just so in advertising. Every time you cry “Bargain” when you haven’t got cne to offer, every time you yell “Wool” when you're selling “cotton,” every time you say “Perfect” when your merchandise is in reality “imperfect,” you lose—not at once, but in the long run. You invite malicious cp- inion, you court disbelief of truths, you jeopardize your success. Abe Lincoln must have had hig mind on advertising when he wrote, “You can fool all of the people some of the time, you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.” Tell THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE-TRUTH, and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. You’ll greatly enhance the value of every dollar spent in advertising, not only in direct results, but in -gaining a reputation for being on the level. This was the way E. A. Barker put the truth regarding the advertising question, when asked what and how he thought was the best way to ad- vertise.

FEAST FOR HARMONY Demooratic Women Will Have Dolly Madison Dinner. MRS. CLARK IS TO PRESIDE Wives of Other Presidential Possibll- Ities WIII 8it at Chief Table—=Mrs. Cleveland Has Been Invited as Guest of Honor. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—The woman Demo- crats of Washington are to have a Harmony Dinner on the anniversary of the birth of Dolly Madison, whom they have chogen as the patron salnt of female Democracy. Dolly Madison was born so long ago that it would be ungallant to give the year, but the month was May, and the day was the twentieth. At the dinner will be sev- eral hundred women guests, all -Dem- ocrats. The presiding officer by nat- ural right and natural choice will be| Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the speak- orof the natlonal house of represent- atives. Mrs. Robert C. Wickliffe is recog- nized, as was some centuries ago a churchman namesake, as the morning star of a new movement. Mrs. Wickliffe is the wife of the Democratic representative in congress from the Sixth Louisiana district. She had only to impart her thought to other Wwomen connected by marriage, parent- age or sisterly tles with the Demo- crats in congress to have it received with enthusiasm and given the instant force of a propaganda. The only thing sbout the whole affair which even in & sense is borrowed appears to be the thought that a “harmony dinner” will be about the right thing. It probably will be remembered that the man Democrats prepared and carried through successfully a like affair .on the night of Jackson day, the anniver- sary of the battle of New Orleans. At the Jackson night feast Demo- cratic candidates for the nomination for the presidency sat in elbow-to-el- bow amity at the chiet table. At the Dolly Madison dinner Mrs. Champ Clark, Mrs. William J. Bryan, Mrs. Os- car W. Underwood, Mrs, Woodrow Wil- son, Mrs. Judson Harmon, Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall, Mrs. John A. Dix, Mrs. Eugene N. Foss, and Mrs. Wil- liam Randolph Hearst will sit at the first table to help give the grace of harmony with the grace of other things to the occasion. Mrs, Cleveland. May Be There. It 48 possible that Mrs. Grover Cleve- land will be present at the dinner. She has been invited, but it is not cer- tain yet that she will be present. If Mrs. Cleveland shall come, she will be, by right of the fact that she is the widow of a president of the United States, the chief guest of the occasion,- but otherwise there will be no recog- nition of rank. Mrs. Alton B, Parker also may be present and these guests | called from a distance will have as’| close table companions women de- scendants direct and collateral of sev- eral presidents of the United States. Among the chief executives who will be represented “through posterity” are Thomas Jefferson, Martin Van Buren, Andrew Jackson, James Monroe and Joltn Tyler. The' younger generation of Democ- | racy will be well represented on the occasion. The daughters will be there | in numbers, “a goodly array,” it fis sald of Democratic. youth and lovelj- ness. - The walls of the big dining room are to do duty as a framework for flowers. The music will be patriot- ic and not partisan, but the toasts in’ part will be to the welfare of Demo- cratic principles, to the deeds of Dem ocratic women, and to harmony among' Democrats regardless of sex. Mrs: Champ Clark is to be the toast mis- tress. Directory for Souvenir.
