UNCLE SAM AFTER DERELICT
 PU BLISTER.

The editor and publisher of a news paper at Lyons, Iowa, has been sum- moned 10 Washington by the postal authorities on complaint of d postof-
 ice inspector. The official visited the office of the Lyons man about two
 months ago and upon examination of
 his subscription books, found that lie
 was carrying a lot of deadhead sub scribers. This is a distinct violation of the postal laws, as applied 10 sec ond class mail matter. The derelict
 publisher will be put to heavy ex-
 pense, and his paper may be denied the privilege of the mails. The postal
 laws are very strict about carrying de-
 Iinquent subscribers on newspaper
 mailing list. Paragraph ,, section 436, of tue Postal Laws and Regulations
 pertaining to second class mail matter reads as follows.
 "A reasonable time will be allowed publishers 10 secure renewals of sub scriptious: but unless subscriptions to q weekly newspaper are expressly re- newed after the term for which they are paid, within one year they shall not be counted iu the legitimate list of subscribers, and copies mailed on account thereof shall hot be accepted for mailing al the second class postage rate of one cent pound.
 There are quite large number cf names on the mailing list Of The Times. who have not renewed their subscriptions nor remitted 10 cover arrearages, and these we will be forced tO discontinue, because it Is unlawful To carry them as subscribers, so if your name Is one of these and your paper is stopped, you should see us Us and get further explanation. We will very much regret to deprive
 any person of their county paper, The old Reliable, but we cannot afford to get mixed up with your Uncle Sam, nor pay extra postage or perhapsa fine.

AND FREE DELIVERY.

Ii, by increasing the receipts of the Forrest City postotfice ten per cent, Forrest City will be entitled to and in fact, receive an appropriation from the National government for public building, and also gain the conven- fence and prestige of free mail delivery by carriers, then it is of the utmost importance that every enterprising committee of one to see, beyond any peradyenture of doubt, that the said receipts shall be increased. And not only must we each act individually, but We should and must organize and work together The Booster Club must take official notice of the facts, and must impress them indelibly upon the minds of every member, and of every citizen, so that it shall not be lost sight of for a single moment.
 It is not a matter to be thought of lightly-simply mentioned and passed up, It is important, vastly important, and so greatly important that it de- serves the most sincere, earnest and enthusiastic consideration, some de- monstration, and above all big, unit ed effort Stop for half an hour and weigh the matter in your mind. Ponder over it Evolve the process by which it can and will be done Let there be no such word as fail.
 We beg of our citizens to give us some reason 10 be encouraged. Talk 10 us about it and about other things for the good of this county and city. If we never hear any response 10 our suggestions or efforts We can but think they fall upon deaf ears. We want this building Want 1t had, and we want that free delivery, and we want the situations for our citizens which the extra work will require It will increase values. It will put more mouey in circulation. It will help every man. woman and child in the county and town to some extent. Some perhaps, more than others but everything does that, and if you don t happen to be one of the more" in this enterprise, perhaps you will be iu the next. Everything that helps one citizen helps every other citizen in the long run.
 We are in serious. dead earnest about these things. We don't want it to fai because of the inaction of our citizens or for any other reason for which they will be responsible. We can get il and we must have it. But there must be action and united effort

Truth in ADVERTISING,

John E. Powers entered Wanamak-

he introduced new style of advertis-

him and Mr.. Wanamaker. But his
advertising was resultful One day
Mr.. Wanamaker said to Mr.. Powers:

ever saw"

my manners" replied Mr. Powers.
Powers said he did not know how
To advertise when he became inter
estsd in the Wanamaker store, but he
had one qualification. he did not lie.

people before they see the goods, and
for nine months l strove to find a bet

type and style of a child's book. 1t

paragraphs were short and crisp.

her. l wrote just as would talk to

Any conception Of advertising
not based upon tho idea that
the sole object aimed at is the
promotion Of the business ad-
vertised is falsely founded. In
other words, advertising is not
capable of having success in
itself but It must be measured
and its value estimated solely
In terms Of the good II does
the article or business adver-
tised.
No merchant will have solved
the question Of advertising as
long as he 10 neoIeetIno some
force or method Of giving his
customers better satisfaction
with his merchandise and his
service. Likewise, no merchant
will be able to perfect his busl-
ness organization until he utll-
lies the forces which are found
In consistent, wIde-awaks news
paper Advertising. These two,
the ability to satisfy customers
and an Intelligent use Of advsr-
tisino, are both but elements Of
the business Institutions's sue
cess. To neglect either element
means falling short Of the de-
sired goal, although sometimes,
to the casual observer, the suo-
cess achieved In the absence Of
advertising seems an arpu-
ment against It.
To illustrate. ! have In mind
a farmer who 10 regarded as q
successful man. He has work.
cd hard, is a splendid crop pro-
ducer and a good livestock feed
er. But throughout his life he
has never been able to grasp
the distinction between a thor
oughbred animal and 4 scrub.
His cattle are a mixture Of Dur
ham, Jersey, Holstein, and what
not. His hogs arc a spotted and
many-coIored lot Of porkers.
And SO on, all about his farm.
Now. any progressive farmer
will admit, that this man who
has made a success in mild
way laborins under a handicap
of motley scrub animals, might
have been much more sue
cessful man with welI-bred
stock to work with. The case
of this farmer illustrates the
point ! am trying to make as to
advertising. The business man
who does not adopt it as a part
Of his business policy is not nee
essariIy doomed to failure but
he is neoIectino to use one OF
the most interesting and most
