M ANY TIMES merchants in cities
M the size of Scranton are puzzled
when they come to divide their
advertising appropriation among the
| newspapers. They do rot feel that
they can afford to put an adj in all the
papers. and when they ccme to make
a choice then trouble begins. lf they
listen to all that the advertising rep
resentatives have to say they are no
nearer a decision, and if they do not
allow the fact that they intend to ad-
vertise tC reach the ears of these gen.
tlemen, and quietly make contracts
with two or three papers, then as soon
as thei" ad. appears the other fellows
come around aud the merchant is
convinced that he has made q mistake
In this connection the following
paragraph from an article in Il recent
issue of the Inland Printer Will be
Of interest. The writer is giving
pointers" to advertising solicitors and
incidentally gives Il few "points' to
advertisers:
at is mistake for solicitor to de-
vote his efforts exclusively to demons
strating that his paper has the larg-
est circulation. unless it is the only
point of value his paper has. There
ire some few advertisers to whom the
mere quantity of circulation is the only
consideration. TO many others the
character of circulation should be
clearly demonstrated. The man VINO
carries a stock of furniture, of shoes
or any other commodity that appeals
to all classes of people, can not hope
to reach all classes by advertising in
a medium that circulateS almost en-
Clusively among one class even II that
medium has the largest circulation.
The man who has gilt-edgc securities
to sell can not hope for the largest
returns from Il poor mans paper.
After all, the strongest claim or any
newspaper, is that no matter how
large a circulation contemporaries
may have. or how thoroughly they
may be read by any given class in
community. there is only one way to
reach the particular readers of any
given newspaper, and that in by ad-
Sertising in that paper. Il a merchant
can afford to advertise in but one pa
per. and his goods appeal to all classes,
then he may be expected to select the
y.aper with the largest general cilru-
lation. but he can not reach all the
people without using all the papers.

Briefly summarized, they require the

Philadelphia has had for some time
two ungradCd schools for backward,
deficient and refractory children who.
in the other schools. have been dis
covered TO be simply a drag upon
others, or meters constantly to serious
trouble. Two such schools are far
from being sufficient for that city's
needs, but they have been clear proof
of the value of making special pro-
vision for such children. The indi-
vidual attention that in such schools
can be given to each pupil has, in the
cases of many backward children,
brought them up to point in which
they could resume and maintain their
places in the schools where they had
formerly failed. In the cases of many
unruly children of the kind who
usually easily become vicious. and of

influenced to degree that gives fair

them, may he expected as one result
of the revised legislation.

strong, of Meltford, Saskatchewan,
says, writing on 27th May, 1901:
This is fine country for poor
man, as he can go out on the hay
slews and cut all the hay he needs.
He turns his cattle out on the prai-
rie, and when he is not using his
horses, he turns them out also. There
is such an abundance of food, they
never wander away.
ga lady, who has lived here eight
years, told me that this was the
original Garden of Eden I certain
ly would believe it, if we could only
find the apple trees. But as it is,
we have many varieties of fruit
Strawberries, cranberries, saskatoons,
buckle berries, red and black cur
rants, dewberries, plums, red and
black cherries, and red raspberries.
All of these fruits grow wild. Then
the flowers that dot the prairies,
making them look like a real garden.
We have eaten of the wild red cur
rants, and they are equal if not SUI
perior to those grown in Michigan.
We have sweet corn 71s inches high.

shearing are now progressing. Wool
is only five cents a pound, and many
ranchers have on hand last years

fairy tale, if we are so much farther
than Reed City. 1t is all facts. Come
up and see. This has been truly
called the Garden of the West

streams, fish and fowl, beautiful riv-
ers, tracts of timber and mountains,

SAl.vADOh'S PROSPERITY.
The Country is Enjoying n Period Of
UnexampIed Peace and Plenty.

The little republic of Salvador is
the smallest country in America and
one of the most densely peopled
parts of it. If our country had as
many inhabitants to the square mile
as are living in Salvador we would
have populat ton of about $50, ,000,-
600. Perhaps that day is coming.
but not yet awhile, says the New
York Sun.
Our latest consular reports from
Salvador says that the country is en-
joying a period of profound peace.
This is good news, for Salvador has
had its share of revolutions, to say
nothing of quarrels with it's neigh
bors that at times have seriously in
terfered with its prosperity. The
government is supposed to be based
upon the consent of the governed,
but sometimes it is merely a military
regime with little diversion in the
form of instructions.
The reports say that the coffee
crop will be unusually large this
year. This, of course, means pros
perity, because coffee forms three
fifths of the exports, little Salvador
selling more coffee than any other
state excepting Guatemala. The crop
will be gathered next month.
The crop of indigo is also unusu-
ally large. Indigo is one of the two
products that distinguish Salvador
from the other countries of Central
America, for practically all the crop
is gathered in that republic. The
other commodity which Salvador mo-
nopoliZes is balsam of Peru. so called
because the Spaniards used to carry
it to Callao, Peru, for shipment to
Spain. 1t grows on the coastal plain
of Salvador and is valued in medicine.
Salvador has no foreign debt and
its financial condition is very salts
factory. Like our own country Sal
vador exports great deal more than
1t imports. It's prosperity is of par
ticular interest to us because the re-
public has larger trade relations with
this country than any other nation
except England.
The reason why Salvador is so
densely populated is that it fronts
wholly on the Pacific ocean and prac-
tcally all of it is adapted for settle
ment. 1t is one of the peculiarities
of the Central American republics
that nearly all of their population is
gathered on the Pacific slope. The
northwest trade winds bring tre-
mendous rainfall to the Atlantic
slope covering most of it with dense
tropical forests which are not fitting
homes for white men because they
are so unhealthful. Civilization,
therefore, has centered on the Pa
cifc slope for the most part, the rain
fall there being moderate and the eli
mate and soil adapted to the raising
of stock and the cultivation of many
crops; thus nearly all of Salvador is
adapted for Development.
