The X. NJ. M A baseball boys re-
turned home Thursday morning from
Columbia, having played the South
Carolina college team on wednesday
afternoon. The Columbia game was to

postponed to Wednesday on account of

strong for the academy boys, and de-
feated them without difficulty. The
X. NJ. NJ. A. boys enjoyed their tour
very much, and although they would
have been better pleased had they been
able to bring back some victories, still,
under all the circumstances, they have
nothing with which to reproach them
selves. From beginning to end they
were outclassed and that they could
not help.
Speaking of advertising, it should
be understood that although to get
store news to newspaper readers it is
essential that the news be published
in a newspaper that the readers read,
there are other requirements. All bus

trial have found it to their profit to
keep their names and businesses before
the public in the newspapers to which
the public looks for general informa-

The advertiser who would get the best
results must exercise many of the
qualifications Of the successful news
purveyor. The successful news pur-

things that are of most interest and
importance to them. The advertiser
must study the needs and requirements
of the public, prepare himself to meet
those needs and requirements, and
then let the public know of such prep
aration. If Il merchant is able to sell
a certain article of merchandise at q
less price than any competitor, and de-
sires to do So the fact is of little benefit
to him unless he conveys the informa-
ton to prospective buyers. Where a
merchant is certain that he has an ad-
vantage as to qualities. styles, ETC., it
is to his interest to let the fact be
known to those who desire to avail
themselves of this advantage. There
are various ways, Of course. of diSSem-
mating information. but the very best
is through the newspapers. 1t is i'm
portant, however, that some diScrimi-
