1t is continuous effort that pays
in advertising as in everything else.
A business man doesn't keep his
store open one day in the week, or
one week in the month, or three
months in the year. If he advertis-
es that way that is the impression
people will get. 1t is continuousness
that has made each letter in the
word Royal before the word "Bak
ing Powder" worth over 100000.
The owner of Royal Baking Powder
recently refused $12,000,000 for his
business business built up and
fostered by persistent advertising.
People are very forgetful. They
have to think pretty hard TO remem-
Der the vice presidential candidate
two campaigns back, and yet he was
pretty well advertised at the time.
1t has been truly said that the time
to advertise is all the time. In bus
mess there is no such thing as
standing still A business man
must go forward or he will fall back.
Even if you do just as much bust
ness this year as you did last, some
other fellow is doing more business
and he is getting ahead of you.
Each years effort should be to ex-
coed last years sales. The only sure
way to do is to advertise Adver-
tise in busy times because the iron
must he struck while it is hot, and
advertise in dull times to heat the
iron. 1t can be done.
1t is safe rule to take advertis
ing as you would medicine-when
you need it, Advertising is the on
ly medicine for sick business, but it
must be of good quality, just as
medicine must he good to do good
1t is poor policy to publish a mis-
leading ad. The palmer, and more
truthful it is the better. Business
men are coming to understand this,
more and more, every day. The
time has passed when "people like
to be humbugged." Barnum is dead.
When you have decided what to
say and how to say it, pick out the
best paper you can find and use it.
Remember that the best paper is
the cheapest and the place to put
your advertising is in the place that
people look for their news. Make
the ads newsy and they will pay.
There is nothing mysterious about
advertising. 1t is an exact scence
You are simply telling people where
they can get certain needed things
That's all there is in it. If you can
tell them about something they
want, or ought to want-if you have

will sell it. Most any sort of ad-
vertising is useful, but newspaper
advertising is not only the best but
it costs less than any other kind
service considered. You can get
more circulation-talkt to more peo-

than in any other way. Figure it

U. 5. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE.
Crop Bulltein No. for April in West
Virginia.

General Summary:-The lack of
sunshine, cool weather and occasion
al frosts together with the deficien-
cy in amount of rainfall have com
bined to rather retard farming oper-
ations and the growth of all forms
of vegetation, the latter being al
most at standstill In some To-
calities, however, farmers have been
more favored and have improved all
opportunities and work has been
pushed accordingly. In some in
stances crops have made little pro
gress and have partially recovered
from the effects of the conditions ex-
isting during the previous week.
The condition of crops generally is
not as satisfactory as should be but
some farmers are still confident that
the conditions will materially i'm
prove. Flowing and re sowing is
the order of the day and much has
been accomplished in those direc-
tions.
Cereals and Grasses Wheat and
oats are beginning to show a little
green again. Oats where up were
destroyed, some of the wheat was af-
fected the same way, a few fields of
the latter look brown and bare and
some have yellowish appearance,
altogether more damage was caused
than at first anticipated but at the
same time some improvement is
noted. Wheat on river bottoms looks
fairly we'll. Flowing for corn is
about finished in most localities.
Grass made but little progress dur
ing the week but is mostly in fair
condition. Clover shows but little
improvement and timothy is not in
any better condition.
Vegetables ALI gardens still
show effects of freeze and frosts.
Many gardens have been replanted.
the most damage occurring to pota
toes and onion sets, many being
frozen in the ground.
Fruits:-I is still too early yet to
draw any definite conclusions re.
garding the full amount of damage
done to fruit. All correspondents
join in the assertion that the freeze
and frosts were immensely injurious.
In some counties all the early fruit
is killed, in Others the apples, at
least, are recovering and buds com
Jag out again. The greatest dam
age was done to peaches, but the
claim is made that there will yet he
some that will be safe. Late apples
are probably unhurt. Some cherries
are budding again. Plums show no
signs of recovery as yet. On the
whole, the prospect for fruit is rath
er discouraging, especially is this
the case as regards early varieties.

Long. and Painted Like n Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.

4th, 1893, the Republican party had
control of this country. Never dur
ing that period were they without
control of at least one branch of our
government, and for almost decade
and half, they had possession of all
three. During that period the Dem
ocratic party was never able to enact
any legislation except with the ap
prevail of its rival. 1t was powerless
to repeal any of the vicious and in
equitable laws that had been infict-
ed on the people.
Let us see what we have to thank
the Republican party for.
OF our vast public domain, only a
few thousand barren acres remain.
Bona fide settlers have gotten por-
tion OF that which has been sold, but
most of it has been granted to rail
roads, or stolen by land corporations.
Procure the documentary evidence
and see how the peoples birthright
has been guarded.
The richest man in America, forty
years ago was only worth so, 500, 600;
to day five of his descendants are each
worth $50,000,000. The last thirty
years has produced crop of million
aires, ten -millionaires, and hundred
millionaires, never equalled in the
history of the world. Statistics show
that all our vast national wealth is
rapidly concentrating in the hands
of few.
With the growth of the millionaire
crop, we have witnessed the greater
growth of the almshouse crop, the
penitentiary crop, the tramp, the
sweat shop crop, the brothel crop,
the anarchist, the crop of suffering,
miserable pauperized men, women
and children; bred and made numer-
Gus by laws passed by Republican
Congresses and signed by Republi
can Executives. The panic we are
now passing through, the bankrupt
cies, the ruin, the distress, the des-
pair throughout the land, are the
examinations for which the Republi
can party is responsible.
The greatest crime of this political
age is the theft of the land of the
people, the tinkering with the coun
try's finances, the tariff laws, which
have every year transferred millions
upon millions of dollars from the
pockets of the toiling masses to few
protected manufacturers are enough
to make it infamous for all time, with
out consideration of the lesser ones.
whose number is legion
But the infamy of the Republican
party, great as it is, does not equal
its effrontery. Not satisfied with
having despoiled the common people
all these years, it attempts to charge
the depression which has long been
predicted as consequence of its
misgovernment, upon the Democrat
ic party. The time has come, how
ever, when sophistry no longer i'm
poses upon the American people.
They know that the Democratic par
ty could not be responsible for con-
dition, which was foreseen by all OBJ
servant men, long before the Presi-
dental election. They know that
the oppressive legislation enacted by
the Republican party and that relief
is coming with the certainty that the
Democratic party is engaged in the
fulfillment of it's pledges of eternal
warfare upon the men that are un-
der protection of the government,
have been tattening on the life

THE "BOY GOVERNOR"
Col. Benz. Wilson Tells How Fleming
Obtained This Title.

The West Virginians who visited
Pittsburg recently were very much
in demand in hotel Hobbies and other
places during the first part of the
week. They are great story tellers
The story of how A. B. Fleming got
his title of the boy Governor is
told by ex-Congressman Benz. Will
son.
During the fall of 1883, when
Fleming was running for Governor
be was stumping the back counties,
and as he was beyond the reach OF
railroads he had to ride from place
to place on horseback. One hot,
dusty afternoon he drew rein before
a farm house to inquire the way to
Squire Jones', where he was to get
his supper and address a meeting
that night. Man and beast were
both tired and wilted looking, and
the women cast sympathizing
glance at the dropping little figure
in the saddle as she gave him the
desired information.
That evening she and her husband
were both at the meeting, and when
Fleming mounted the platform, she
electrified the assembly by saying to
her husband in a whisper, meant to
be confidential, but plainly audible:
"Well Reuben, if there amt that
poor boy | was telling you about
that asked the way to Squire Jones'
this afternoon. They're not going
to let him talk, are they?'
But Fleming talked, and talked
so well that the worthy couple were
charmed, especially the woman, who
saw to it that Reuben, who had al
ways voted straight Republican,
scratched Golf and substituted
Fleming. But the incident was not
forgotten and when the legislature
finally decided that memorable con
test in Fleming's favor, he was
known to everybody as the "Boy
Governor. "-Pittsburg Times.
