 If you will go over the adver- Using section of the paper you will find nine times out of ten that it is the mos interesting part of your newspaper.
 It is there you will find the best talent in both a literary and artistic way. More time, brains and money are expended Tn this department than any other in your paper.
 Advertising mas reached such a state now that 1t is next to lm- possible to keep up with the times unless you do read the ads. Not only that but you will in- variably find a message which just fits your case, no matter what your station in life.
 The money saver, and the man or woman who wishes to run his or har home as economically as possible. can be helped in the ad vcrtising.
 Whenever you find person who says l find the advertising interesting, and you'll find many these days, you'll find someone pretty apt to he up-to-date.
 Don't get the idea in your head that the ads are put in the paper solely for the merchants benefit. They are for you, and your in- terests. If the largest percent age of ads weren't for your in- terest advertising wouldn't pay.

 A Novel Idea Of Advertising Arkansas

Stops to be made along the route at points determined upon to be the most logical points tor the distribution of advertising literature.
 The cost to each community sending a representative to be S15O.OO for one, $250.00 for tWo' and s3OO.O0 for three. This in- cludes Pullman Car service, and display space.
 This idea has met with the hearty approval of every town where the matter has been brought up, and it looks like a sure go.
 The idea if carried out along the lines planned will be a sue cess, and do much to attract the attention of the home seekers or the north to the state of Ark ansas.
 With the enormous amount of advertising Arkansas is now getting through the commend able work of it's land congresses, it seems to be the psychological time to arrange something ot this kind as 8 fitting colonization to the years work for the state of Arkansas in an advertising way.

Some Arkansas Boosters a. mong whom is w. H. Laney, our enterprising insurance man. has originated a scheme for the advertising of the state of Ark ansas, which if carried through, will be one of the biggest and finest pieces of advertising Ark ansas has ever had.
 The idea in a general way is a special train, first class in every respect, carrying one or more representatives from every county in the state, and display cars filled with displays from each county, to leave Little Rock about Nov. 18th.
 The proposed trip will approx innate 5000 miles through Kan- sas. Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota to St. Paul, thence through Wisconsin to Chicago, arriving in Chicago at the time of the Big Land Congress is in session. thence down through Illinois home.
 The trip will occupy about ll to 12 days. Each representative is allowed 40 square feet of dis play space and to carry as much advertising matter as he chooses.
