Newspaper publishers have one thing to
sell and another thing to rent. They have
the newspaper to sell and the space i'm its
columns to rent. Can any one furnish us
with any reason why they should be ex-
pected to give away one or the other? Yet
they do, as q matter of practical fact fur
nish great deal of space rent free. But 1t
does not follow that they ought to do it. 1t
ought to be recognized as contribution
exactly as would be the giving away Of
coffee or sugar by the merchant. But
strange to say, 1t is not looked upon in that
light at all by many; yet everybody knows
that the existence of a newspaper depends
as much upon the rent of its space and sale
of the paper as the merchants success de-
ponds on selling his goods instead of giving
them away. And no one thing draws trade
to town like good, attractive advertise
ments in the local paper, besides every card
in the paper shows up the town as to what
it possesses
Flushing Observer: The new Juddyille
cheese factory will begin operations this
week.-Mr and Mrs. LOREN LawtOn and
daughter, of Hazleton township, were visit
ing at the home of Mrs. Mary Halcock
Thursday afternoon. and while in the village
experienced very lively runaway and mar
rOwly escaped with their lives. Just after
leaving Mrs. Halcock's home on Henry ST.
an umbrella was raised which frightened the
and i'm an instant they became unmanagea-
BILE and ran at rapid speed down Maple
street. On reaching Main street they made
a sharp turn, capsizing the buggy and throw
ing the occupants into the muddy street.
The team continued down Maple and Mill
streets, but were caught near the Exchange
Hotel Barn. Those who saw the accident
assisted the occupants in extricating them
selves from the wreck, and they were taken
back to Mrs. Halc0ck's home, where their
injuries and muddy garments received atten
ton. Besides few severe bruises and
general shaking up they escaped injury and
were able to return home as soon as their
buggy could undergo the necessary repairs.
From an open letter by Alfred Balch on
'Trade with South America" in the Cen
fury for June, we quote as follows: Amer
lean manufacturers have been in the habit
Of forwarding to Columbia such goods as
they thought the COlombians would buy,
and have then been surprised to find they
made no sales. Many of these goods were
dead stock for the simple reason that the
people had not an idea of how to use them
or could not apply them. What is the use,
for example, of shipping Mccormick reap |
er to farmers that grow no wheat? Some |
Of the goods sent out could not be sold be- |
cause, in country of canoes and pack |
mules, they could not be carried For in |
stance, the standard American white cotton |
Is woven twenty-seven inches wide. This |
cannot be sold i'm Columbia, because with |
pack-mules the cd1yd, or pack, must not be |
more than twenty-five inches long, as other
wise it will gall the hips and shoulders of |
he animals. American cotton can be roped |
On pack-mule, with bolts dashed vertically, |
out such a pack is very apt to get disar-
ranged, and the cdrgerO, or muleteer,
charges more for the trouble he is put to. |
Naturally the merchants in the interior of |
he country purchase English or German
cotton, woven to forty-four and folding to
inches"
