"There isn't any dull season in ad
vertising any more" said a promi-
nent newspaper publisher the other
day.
''Five years ago every newspaper
in this land looked forward to the
months of July and August with a
dread of the sere and yellow day in
the cashiers department. 1t made
no difference what the town or how
large or small the paper-all were on
the same level then. Not newspa-
per in the country, outside OF the
summer resorts, made a dollar these
two months. Everyone Of them lost
money; it was the inexorable rule.
THE Spanish war came on. The
industrial boom followed. Exciting
events crowded into every summer
and made the newspaper circulations
jump. The advertisers, who had al
ready begun to show signs OF master
ing the science Of publicity, realized
that even though the weather was
warm the people were reading the
papers.
"The public began to learn that
the advertisements were getting
more readable every day, anu as a
result-today there is no dull season.
The merchant who knows his busi-
ness keeps up the volumn OF his adj
vertising, be the weather warm or
cold. He adapts himself to circun-
stances and takes advantage of them
He makes his ads readable, and the
people read them.

is merely a bit of charity to help the
printer out has disappeared. The

Wipes Out so Per Cent Of Rural
Free Routes.

Omaha, Neb., July 2. - The
rural free delivery of mail
throughout the west has been
practically wiped out by the re-
cent action of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow, who
/ has ruled that no free delivery
route shall be continued unless
100 families are served and 5000
pieces of mail matter handled
monthly. This rnling IS the re-
suit of Mr.. Bristow's recently an
nouuced position position ona the rural de-
livery system, in which he de-
clared that rural delivery has
been making toorapid strides and
must go slower.
Superintendent Rathbone OF
the Western division today said:
1.-THE enforcement of that or
( der will wipe out 80 per cent OF
the routes in this district, COM
orising Minnesota, the Dakotas,
Nebraska and Iowa and will also
affect other western states IN the
same way, especially Colorado,
Montana, Wyoming and Utah.
On examining the routes in this
district, I find that few routes
serve more than seventy-hve tam
lilies. We will make no attempt
to enforce the order until the mat
ter can be taken UP with Mr.
Bristow."
All field men have been called
in for consultation, and a moditl-
cation will be asked. The tarm-
ers throughout the states affected
are preparing petitions which will
be forwarded to Washington ask
ing that the rule shall not apply
to the thinly settled western
states.
