A Missouri man who has been wont
to gaze upon trusty fowling piece

manhood, he considered himself cured.

gun to the muzZle and laid in wait for
the crow. Said crow not appearing
to be shot, the gun was again hung in
its accustomed place. The next night
the Missourian dreamed of crow, and
arising in his robe-de-nuit and while
yet fast asleep, took down the trusty
muzzle-loader and hied himself away

people as to who "pays the freight"
for the Numerous damage suits en-

very tersely says:

through the milestone which blocks

it is the people who do the paying

Advertise and Patronize.

Unfortunately for the newspaper
which honestly seeks to build up
its community, the opinion that
the insertion of advertisements. is
more Of gratuitious act than a
business proposition is far too
common, and the natural result is
that the main factor in bringing
about development and prosperity
does not receive the patronage and
encouragement which it deserves.
1t is 80 absurd to contend that ad-
vertising is not a profitable invest
ment that We will not argue the
question here for fear that we
might convince such wise minds
against their will. But 1t ia a
matter OF record that in every pro-
gressive and advancing section the
socalled business man does not
advertise his wares is either COM
PEELED to do it against his wishes
to prevent his more active and
wiser competitor from getting all
the trade, or he ia slowly but sure
lly driven to the wall if he fails to
advertise at all.
The wisdom of advertising has
been established long ago, and If
any further proof be needed we
would call the attention of cur
readers to the fact that newspaper
men themselves are extensive ad-
vertisers, and that is saying a
great deal. for doctors are not gil
ven to using their own medicine.
There are no few who, neglecting
to even scan their home paper and
Judging others after themselves,
reason that advertising is little
short of a waste of money, but
their contention is not born out by
facts and figures. For instance,
a few weeks ago a very honest CT
tizen found pocket book contain
ing 5 cents and advertised the
fact with the hope of restoring the
property to it's rightful owner.
The "ad' was placed in anobscure
corner of the paper, but the devil
made the amount read 5 dollars
instead of 5 cents. To the utter
establishment of the finder ninety
three persons claimed the pocket
book and contents a half an hour
after the edition Of the paper was
published and if the finder had
not locked the door and left the
place there is no telling how many
more would have entered his of.
fee to get their property.
No man who is not trying to
break into an insane asylum viii
deny that newspaper advertising
pays. It's the kind that yields
the biggest profits and is of dou
BILE benefit to the advertiser be
cause he is the direct and indirec
bene6ciary-the direct by reason
of the immediate patronage tina
it brings to him, and the indirec
because of the substantial encou
ragement which he bestows on the
