Every line in a newspaper
costs something. If it is for the
benefit of an individual or firm,
it should be paid for. If a mer.
chant were asked 10 donate mer-
chandise to those who are able tC
pay for it, the merchant woulC
fatty and justly refuse. The
publisher of newspaper must
pay for the advertising if the
beneficiary does not. Yet ii
seems to be one of the hardest
things for many to learn that a
newspaper has space in its
columns to rent and must rent il
for a consideration to sustain its
life: :-Ex.
The above is very correct and
important statement. For many
people have the impression that
newspaper space does not cost
anything and the revenue there
from if clear profit. Newspaper
space is the publishers stock in
trade and he can no more give
said space away and succeed in
business than the merchant can
donate his wares and exist. The
fact is that at the present time
space is about the only thing that
the publisher has as a source of
revenue = certainly the only
source of revenue with a profit,
for there is absolutely no profit
whatever these days on subscrip-
tions.
A good many people think that
a dollar received on subscription
is all clear profit to the publisher,
when the facts in the case are
that nine times out of ten he
loses money on every subscr,p
ton received. That is, that
when a publisher undertakes to
furnish a first-class weekly news
paper a year for one dollar, It
costs him more than he gets out
of it. Thus it is that the exist
ence of the newspaper of today
depends solely on its advertising
patronage. This being the case
one may wonder then, why it is
that. publishers are so anxious for
a large subscription list. This is
easily explained. The amount of
advertising secured and the
prices received for same depends
entirely on the size and character
of the publications subscription
list the more subscribers a pub
lication has and the higher the
grade OF those subscribers, the
more said publication can secure
for its advertising space. Thus
the persistent efforts at securing
a large subscription list and the
absolute necessity of liberal ad-
vertising patronage to enable the
publisher to make both ends
meet. Exchange.

1t is strange how some persons
can go about in the world with a
spirit of hate in their bosoms for
certain persons and affairs, from
which they are never exempt.
For years they pass and repass
acquaintance and never speak:
living neighbors they never COM
mune together. and the best
things they can say about the
objects of their enmity are hard
words and execrations. Often
such conditions exist between
blood relatives whose very ties
of kinship should make them
love and bear with each other if
nothing else would. And just as
often ysu find members of the
churhc-professed christians-har-
boring this spirit of nnplacable
hatred, which is one of the
devils chiefest graces. No won
der the world is full of sorrow
and evil influences, when the
cold specters of malignity are
forever stalking among us If
these strange characters would
only bridge that dark chasm of
hatred with word of love and
fellowship they would be sur
prised at the JOY and peace it
would bring to their souls.-Ex.

The following, clipped from an
exchange, contains some stub
born facts that cannot be denied:
"A town that never has anything
to do in a public way is on the
road to the cemetery. Any citi-
zen who will do nothing for his
town, furnishes the coffin. The
man who is so selfish as to have
no time for business to give to
city affairs is making the shroud.
The man who will not advertise
is driving the hearse. The man
who is always pulling back from
any public enterprise. throws bo-
uuets on the grave. The man
who is so stingy and selfish as to
be bowling hard times, breaches
the funeral sermon and sings the
doxologg, and thus the town lies
buried free from all sorrow and
care. - Pike County Republican.

to permanent investments. In spite of
the fact that the banks do not receive
and keep all or most of the farmers
savings, the increase of bank deposits
in agricultural states and larger reg
ions is most extraordinary. In Iowa
and South Dakota the increase was 14.9
per cent; Nebraska, 1876; Kansas, 81;
North Dakota, 25.
'.Stin more remarkable is the bank
statement for the South central states.
Deposits increased ISL per cent in Tex
as, 21.4 in Oklahoma, PAL in Arkansas,
and 45.7 in Indian Territory, while
throughout that geographic division the
increase was 22.3 per cent. The general
average increase for the United States
was 1875 per cent.
For the first time IN the financial his
tory of the south deposits in the banks
OF that region now exceed $1,000, 600, 000
THE foregoing remarkable increase in
bank deposits in agricultural states, as
we'll as the increase in the NUMBER OF
small country banks. are directly and IN

Gain in Farm Values.
Analyzng the increase Of the value Of
farms, Mr.. Wilson says.
Figured in dollars Of gain per acre.
the increase during the five years past Of
medium farms were in the north central
division S11.25; in the western division,
south Atlantic division, S4.93, and IN the
south central division, s4.66. The average
increase for the United States was $27.31
The returns showed that farms of less IN
tenslve culture and crops have increased
in value less than the farms having more
valuable crops and receiving high cul-
ture. Farmers are improving their cuItu-
raj methods and changing from less to
more profitable crops. Other causes for
higher values are better buildings, better
fences, tile draining, new facilities for
transportation, more railroads and bet
ter wagon roads.
The cotton ia @ns have increased in
value $3.50, 000 900, so that it might be said
that during the past five years the cotton
pl9nterS have six crops, one of them a
permanent investment promising to pay
a good return year by year Hay and
OO0.O00; live stock farms still larger
gain; farms $369, 600, 600; tobacco farms s57.-
100000; rice farms $1,000 000 fruit farms
S9I 900 600, and vegetable farms S113. 900 600.
The report concludes:
Should there be no relapse from his
present position as a wealth producer,
three years hence the farmer will find
that the farming element about So per
cent of the population, has produced an
amount of wealth within ten years equal
to One-half of the entire national wealth
produced in three centuries.

Germ Diseases.

In the past few years. scores of dis
eases have been traced to germ at
tacks. These include most of our
minor ills, and most of our serious
sickness.
A few years ago, all these diseases
were attributed to other causes. The
remedies made for them We're based
on theories which have since been
abandoned. Is it any wonder that
those old time remedies so often prove
ineffective?
Germ diseases call for Liquozone. In
any such disease-nO matter how diff
cult-we send to each user guar
antee permitting two months treat
ment at our financial risk. If the re-
suits are unsatisfactory, the patients
own druggist returns every penny
paid. We do this so that none who
need this help may find reason to go
without it.
We have sent out many thousands
of these guarantees, yet less than five
in each thousand have been returned
for redemption. Can you not see that
a remedy SO wonderfully effective in
general is likely to be effective with
you?

WASHINGTON PLAYER GONE.
Shortstop Cassidy Missing and Friends
Fear Foul Play.

Chester, Pa, Nov. 27.-The aged
mother and friends of Joseph Cassidy,
the washington American league base
ball player, are greatly worried over
lengthy absence from home. The last
heard from him was about the time

playing the final game in Washington.
He then wrote home stating that he
contemplated going on a short trip with
some friends.
Since then nothing has been heard
from him, although friends have been
making inquiries concerning his where
abouts AS he generally carried a sum
of money on his person it is feared
that he may have met with foul play.
His mother is seriously i'll, the result
Of worrying over his absence. Nothing
was thought of his absence during the
first two weeks, as it was believed he
was simply enjoying a brief tour of the
country before returning home, but as
week after week passed and nothing
was heard from him his relatives and
friends became alarmed and began to
make inquiries which proved of no

Diphtheria a Specially

Diphtheria seems to be spreading
rapidly, not only throughout our city,
but many other cities. Help has been
called for from other states for some
thing to prevent this terrible malady
which is reaping a harvest al this time.
For this reason is this article written.
I have been a practitioner for over
thirty-five years and have seen every

has recently appeared a remedy more
wonderful in its action than all others.

DIRECT WIRE TO CHICAGO.
Telephone Lines Are Being Strung as
Fast as Possible.

Kansas City, Nov. 27.=Kansas city
is to have direct telephone connection
with Chicago. The American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company has
$50 workmen, in two gangs, stringing
the line between the two cities. One
force is working from this end, the
other from Chicago. The American
company is allied with the Bell inter
ests, and will reach Kansas City
through connection with the Missouri
and Kansas company
When completed there will be three
full copper wire circuits between the
two cities. Heretofore it has been
necessary TO go by way of st. Louis or
Omaha in order to get to Chicago. The
line is to be completed by February 1
and is to go by way of Fort Madison

Killa Disease Gerrns.

The main value of Liquozone lies in
the fact that it is deadly to germs, yet
harmless to living tissues.
That is not true of common germi-
cides They are poisons when taken
internally. That is why medicine has
proved so helpless in dealing with
germ diseases. The usual germ killing
drugs can not be taken in effective
doses internally.
Liquozone is harmless. That fact
has been repeatedly proved by scien-
tifc tests. Not only harmless; it is
good for you. Its effects are exhilerat-
ing. vitalizing and purifying. It's bene-
