Congressman kirkpatrick has sue
ceeded in getting an appropriation
made for preliminary survey of the

ening and deepening the channel so

Up at Lawrence a 10000 barrel cold
storage warehouse is being built, to
be ready for the next fruit crop and
at LeavenwOrth the cold storage
plant erected a few years ago has

large fruit and potato raisers combine
and establish a cold storage plant
here at lola? Or could not some of
our capitalists go into it as an invest
ment? 1t would surely pay well.
The reason some men think news
paper advertising don't pay, is be-
cause they try the experiment as the
Irisbman tested the virtue of feathers
for pillow. He gathered up 3 stray
feather, placed il on a stone, and after
laying his head on it all night decIar-
ed that feathers were no softer than
stone. Thus it is with some very
economic and worthy business men.
They scratch up few lines Of locals,
insert them once or twice in a paper,
and because no one comes in to tell
them they read their lads" in the
paper they declare that "advertis-
ing don't pay"
