Advertising that Pays

The movement to prevent the
dis6guring of scenery byhuge adver-
Using signs deserves success. That
such signs do mar the landscape
and are offensive to everyone who
has any sense of beauty few will
question. AS business expert
ment they are not a success. In
vestigation proves that of all forms
of advertising they produce the
poorest results, while newspaper
advertising produces the best.
This is not to be wondered at.
The making and painting Of signs
is expensive and when made the
wording remains unchanged. For
that reason the novelty soon wears
away and they attract no attention
except by their unsightliness.
With newspaper advertising it is
different. The paper goes regu-
larly into the home to be read by
all. Everyone reads the ads and
knows exactly what they represent.
The advertiser changes the style
and wording of his ad whenever
he pleases and is therefore able in
attractive ways to acquaint The
public with the character and vari
ETY. of his goods and with the specia.
bargains he has to offer from time
to time. Therefore far above all
other forms of advertising the loca
paper is the best medium for bring
ing the buyer and the seller to
gether. -Ex.

Buying Buffalo on the Hoof.

How many buffalo remain OF all
the mighty hosts that within the
memory of living man roamed the
great plains? 1t is difficult to give
exact statistics. Three years ago
a statement from Washington gave
the total number of North Ameri-
can buffalo as 1404, a conservative
estimate at that time.

BOWLDE7 FOUNDATION.
One Of New England's Most Substan-

If you were to try to find the most
substantially built road in New Eng
land it would not in all probability be
necessary to 20 farther than Acton
Center. Mass, to locate the one which
would take first premium for solidity.
Just beyond the town was con-

Of a climb there now as formerly, for

The old condition was far from
pleasing to Augustus Conant, who
lives but short distance from the

town that If the hill could be cut down
and slightly relocated he would put
in the necessary foundation for a
first class road. the town to put on
the finishing touches. and his propO-
sition was readily accepted by the
voters.
For the new basis Of the new high
way Mr. Conant had carted to the spot
many loads of field stones and innu-
merabe powders. large and small.
Some of them weighed several tons,
and it is asserted that there is not in
all probability another road in the

a foundation as the one which was

A guessing contest followed. which

Local Man Makes Gritty Struggle TO

OAKLAND, Cal, oct. 24.-Before
over 100000 spectators, many of whom

hurled his Hartford across the
line, the winner of the Oakland Portola
road race in the worlds record time
of 645O miles an hour, for distance of
25S miles, or II laps of the 2112-mile
circuit.
A close second to the Pope-Hartford
came the Apperson Jackrabbit, which
until today was the holder of the rec
ord wrested from it by the speed of
the Pope Hartford, and the cool driv
ing of Jack Fleming.
Only a few seconds behind the APP
person, the Lozier, cleverly driven by
Harry Michener had to content itself
with third place, after being a dan
gerous contender throughout the long
grind

to its worlds record at Santa Monica,
