Airship Destroyed.

Count Zeppelin, the German in
ventor. whose airship made worlds
record fight this week, is broken
hearted over the destruction OF his
machine. After flying 200 miles
over Switzerland, going as high as
5000 feet, he started back to Fried
nichshafen, but descended at Eich-
terdingen to make some repairs.
While his machine, 423 feet long,
was on the ground, it was overturn-
ed by sudden wind-storm that caus-
ed II TO take fire from the gasoline
engine and it was burned up.
The government has decided to
pay the Sl25 900 bonus he lost by
not getting back home with the ma
chine and the Count will build anoth-
er machine at once.

Advertising.

Referring to the results following
local newspaper advertising an ex-
change covers the point clearly as
follows:
A newspaper has 5000 readers
for each 1000 subscribers. A mer-
chant who puts out 1000 hand bills
gets 800 or 400 more people to
read them, if the boy who is trusted
to distribute them does not chuck
them under the side walk. The
hand bills cost as much as half
column advertisement in the home
paper. All the women and girls
and half the men and boys read the
advertisement. Result 1t h e mer-
chant who uses the newspaper has
5000 more readers to each 900
papers.
There is no estimating the amount
of business that advertising does not
bring to a merchant, but each dollar
invested in advertising brings to the.
investor somewhere from $40 to S100
worth Of business.

A Peculiar Problem.

X T. Tyler, president of the Hick-
man Bank, was led to remark Fri
day, on account of a shortage Of
small change, that one of the pc
culiar problems of a small bank is
the continual drain on subsidiary
coin. II is noticeable that hundreds
OF people enter bank daily and get
change for bills, while practically
none ever bring in small denomina-
tons and ask for larger ones.
One unacquainted with the bank
ing business would naturally think
the small coins would come back to
the bank in the way Of deposits
but such is not the case. On the
other hand. the bank usually orders
about So, 900 a month in silver to
meet the demand for change, and
this thing keeps up year in and year
cut. The government is always able
to fill these orders-but the problem
is-how does it find its way back to
the treasury Department.

ways farmed-and says he would do
nothing else-but he reminds us that
the newspaper men too often assert
that farmer is the most independ-
ent man on earth and that he has
nothing much to do but enjoy life.
In explaining the other side of the
farmers lite, he says we overlook
the fact that when winter comes and
the billiards. on the wing, the farm
er has something else to do besides
toastlng his feet in the oven and read
ing the Hickman Courier. That
there are other things to disturb him
besides the call TO banquet of mince
pies and other Injuries.
The Industrious farmer begins
work before the sun thinks of putt
ing up. With his soul shrouded ia
gloom he proceeds to build a fire and
soften his boots with a sledge ham
mer. He then takes a lantern and
shovels his way to the barn and feeds
the hogs. II is then time to feed the
newly arrived calf which seems to
delight in butting pail of milk over
the tiller of the sol. until he only
needs TO be stamped to pass for a
