ADVERTISING M
BY o. lNO. Z
Don't let newspaper circulation fool you. The
newspaper which has the least power to sell goods
usually makes the loudest shout about circulation.
Don't skip around from one newspaper to another.
Success in advertising comes from hammerine away
at the same crowd.
Pick out the newspaper which has the kind Of
readers you want for customers and then stick When
you get things going keep your head A lineup Of
you Immediately and show you by process of arith-
metic may be of geography that they give you
twice the circulation at half the price, that whoever
advised you didn't know what he talking about;
that the paper your advertisement is in actually
pays you their newspapers will certainly make you
millionaire.
They are all nice fellows and put up good lunches
and you like to meet them Each will tell you that
your advertisement is the pretest thing he ever
and that your store is perfect GEM But don't You
can't afford it at least not unless you have sufficient
advertising appropriation to keep copy in all the
newspapers continuously.
An eieht-inch advertisement in one newspaper
will bring much bigger results than twonch adver-
tsement in four newspapers.
you advertise your store to a hundred and
fifty thousand people you safely bank the fact
that in due time everybody will hear about you.
People have a way of passing along good news.
The fact that your advertisement appears con-
tnuously in reputable newspaper stimulates public
confidence Your shop advances step by step in the
estimation Of tens of thousands of people who may be
months getting around to make their first purchase
You can talk to hundred and fifty thousand
people any day of the week through a metropolitan
newspaper and make your talk personal you
wish. You need not employ Interpreter a
megaphone. Simply talk. That's all. Be sincere
about it. Let your words ring true The people will
listen They like it.
Spend thousands year ON rent and electric light
and experienced statesmen and then squeeze out a
niegardly hundred or two advertising on telling
the people that you have the store and the goods and

Plea for the Children.
Editor Monticellonian.:

Editor Monticellonian
 About 30 years ago 1 attended a union school May-day celebration at Monticello. Gay and happy children were seen collected 1T. the different churches, and under the leadership of their Superintendents
 would march under their own ban. ners to q desgnated Church, where services were held. After these ser vices long procession was formed and triumphant march, with music, was made to some one of the many beautiful shady groves with, in the corporate limits of the city. where the childrenin childish glee. spent the day.
 Mothers and fathers where do your children spend these May-day picnics and school holidays, and what are you doing to make" green spots' in the memory of your chil- dren : Is 1t possible that you are so busy in gathing riches of this earth that you are neglecting the comfort and happiness of the children that you pretend to love so much3 In reality, now, don't you prepare a chicken sandwich, dress your child upin it's best clothes, ,and and under the care of somebody start it some where to spend the daG? When 1t returns in the evening stained with yellow dirt, you know at once that the banks of the gullies on Rough and Re ady Hill have suff the wear of the day frolic, and home scene on the back porch winds up the child's happy Springday out ing.
 With this introduction, MT. Edi- tor, wont you help, in the columns of of your paper, to arouse there mothers and fathers, Civic League and everybody, to come to the front with their aid and money and purchase one of the beautiful groves in Monticello, before they are sold for residence lots' Help us to beautify 1t and make it a happy play ground for the children of ou. town.

The blanket primary, which Arkansas has adopted, Of late years, is fast falling into disre- pute. It is now plainly seen that through it's instrumentali- ties the weakest men may be thrust upon the people. The very object for which a primary election was inaugurated-that of selecting the choice of the ma- jority-is frequently thwarted by such primary, and a minority man is made the nominee of the party. The possibility of such a happening should be avoided, either by having a second prima- ry election, submitting the ques- ton again to the people for a vote on the two leading candi- dates, for a given office, or leave the matter to the regularly se- leeted delegates to the various conventions for decision. Un- der the present primary election system it is possible, and even quite probable, for candidates to be selected for the various State, District and County offices who do not receive one-fourth of the votes cast in the election which makes the nomination. This, by no means. expresses the will of the people. as all election laws contemplate should be done. And since all elections are based on the assumption that the wis. dom of good choice rests with the majority of the voters, a means should be provided by w6ich majority expression should be had. It is the only safe way to avoid forcing incom- petent and dishonest men upon the country. We are welded to no particular plan. but we cer- tainly think it would be much better for the country to have some plan of selecting the of ficers, by which a majority of all the voters should have rep resentation, either directly or indirectly.

Many of the farmers of Drew county have one bad habit that they certainly ought to avoid. It is that of buying their feed- stuff in town. Every farmer should strive to raise enough corn, oats and hay to run his farm. It will pay well in the long run to do this, regardless of the price of cotton. No good farmer should look to the mar kets for his supplies. Every thing that is consumed on the farm should be grown there. It is the only safe way to farm.
