ABOUT ADVERTISING.

We believe it is every mans duty to
advertise. We know that it is to his
interest to do so. But even if it were
motif there were no direct financial
gain to be expected from it still we are
convinced that it would be good thing
for him to do. You ask why? We will
tell you. Every business man lives in
a town of some sort. It may be good
town and then it may not. But if it is
not it is generally the fault of the bust
ness men and his business associates.
TO have good town you must have
good business men-real ones. Did
anyone ever hear of good business
man who did not advertise? Never.
Another thing you have got to have to
make good town is real live news
paper-maybe more, but one at least.
No one ever saw real live town with
out newspaper or a real live news
paper without ads in it. Such things
never happen. Now then if a business
man can't succeed without live town
to do business in and town can't be
alive without newspaper and news
paper can't be alive without ads what
is the conclusion? Mr.. Business Man
has got to advertise to keep things go
ing on even though the first dollar he
invests in printers ink don't come back
to him before he gets his wallet closed.
The policy OF advertising is as old as
the world and it's soundness has been
proven again and again till no sane
man thinks of questioning it. Ever
since Adam lost his position as head
gardener and put his want ad in the
morning paper the world has recog
niZed the necessity Of letting people
know that you are alive or else go out
of business. Advertise then-not only
for your own immediate gain but to
build up the community around you.

ACTIVE VOLCANO IN UTAH.
Small Crater Recently Discovered by
Prospeca Ors in Salt Lake
Region

What appears to be partly active
volcano crater has just been discovered
by George McNeme and several other
prospectors, at a point about 20 miles
north of Moab and two miles east of
where Salt Wash crosses Salt valley,
and about six miles south of Richard
son post office, reports the Salt Lake
Tribune.
On high mesa the prospectors dis
covered steam or smoke rising some
distance from where they were and on
investigation found that it rose from
hole in the solid sandstone formation.
The orifice is oblong, about three feet
in width and six feet long.
A strong current Of warm air carry
ing some vapor arises, but seems to
have little or no gaseous smell. The
sides of the hole are very black and
sooty. A rock thrown in apparently
falls long distance. The prospectors
working in that section Will make fur
Their investigation.
This section has been prospected
over for number of years, and cattle
and sheepmen have ridden over it for
the past rs years without discovering
the crater. The prospectors who Wis
tied it say they would not have found
it but for seeing the steam arise, as il
is place that would be unlikely to be
passed. 1t appears to be an old volcan-
fc vent that has been lying dormant for
years and is just beginning to show
signs of activity.

"A nervous looking man

"A nervous looking man wentin-
to store the other day and sat down
for half hour or so, when a clerk
asked him if there was anything she
could do for him. He said no, he
didn't want anything. The propri-
etor went to him and asked if he
wanted to be shown any thin G.
s'No" said the nervous man, II just
want to sit around. My physician
has prescribed perfect quiet for me
and says above all things I should
avoid being in crowds. Noticing
that you didn't advertise in the
newspaper, I thought this would be
as quiet place as could find SO l
lust dropped in for few hours of
isolation. The merchant picked up
a bolt of paper cambria to brain
him, but the man went out. He
said all he wanted was quiet life.

idleness as well as skill and gave him
picture TO copy. 1t was the painting
of an old farmhouse. In few days

had been made and on his return in

but one chimney, on which the painter
was then employed. A week passed,
and the picture was not returned The
prince then resolved to go himself. He
did so and found the artist still at the
unfinished chimney. How is this

employed Oh one chimney"
