You may disfigure barns and fences
and rocks and roads. waste your money
on so-called business charts, and all that
sort of thing, and vainly imagine you
are advertising. But you are not. The
newspaper that every week visits hun
dreds of homes and ia looked upon by
its readers as reliable friend and ad-
vertiser is the medium through which
the wide awake business man will speak
to the people. Quack advertising the
kind you bite on when astranger comes
around with great scheme" is like
quack medicine less you take it
the better. The man who appreciates
the value of newspaper advertising, and
has business instinct enough to know

Engine Balk..
The Brighton Blade says:


Speaking of gasoline engines, those
of our readers who have been up against
a real locoed machine of this calibre
will appreciate the following gem from
the Vermontville (Mich,) Echo:
Just to enliven things up a bit the
Echo office engine got cranky streak
on last Wednesday and the more we
cranked it the crankier it got until f.
nally the atmosphere around our ordi-
narily peaceful sanctum took on rath-
or blueish hue. 1t is one of the best
engines made and cannot 60 wrong, so
the directions say, but someway or 9th
or we did not seem to hold our mouth
right and it just would not run. 1t is a
water-cooled, high pressure, non-stink-
er double action, single barrel anti-pro-
family instigator. At first we thought
the tropic of capricorn had slipped into
the king-row and sure the exhaust was
bent. We unscrewed the umbelicus,
drew the range-finder out, creased the
pug tongue, bent the dowangadingus,
and even put it together again. Every
thing looked right and we cranked it
for an hour or two to see if it wouldn't
combust audibly, but it wouldn't. Then
thinking that oil had accumulated in the
duffoppus or that the guyasticutus
couldn't coalesce with the noncompos.
mentis, we took out the doofunny, wip-
ed the syovial fluid from the pendemo-
MUS and removed the oil. This made
everything look all right. The engine
should have said 'kapett, 'kapett, right
along now. but it merely said 'pr-r-r-r,'
and that was all.
There is canister annex screwed
on the main duodenum that runs up
through the roof that usually says 'ka-
punk at each explosion, but which was
maintaining discreet silence all this
time. We resolved to go up on the
roof and investigate this. Here we
found that fuzzy wuzzy worms" from
the big willow tree near the Echo office
had built their nest and plugged up the
'kapunker. This solved the mystery.
When it tried to 'kapeet' inside the 'ka-
punker' outside was cramped up sitter
than the right leg of the goddess of lib
erty. After adjusting the outside 'ka-
punker, which released the inside ka.
peeter, confidence was Immediately re-
stored.
"a gasoline engine is just as simple
as hoeing turnips when you get next to
its curves. But our experience is that
no gasoline engine can 'kapeet' whenit
is banged up in the snoozle."
