will sit for about three days and

more, if you have a kick toming,

This company is extensively en-
gagged in the manufacture of tile
and brick, and if you are inter-
ested in such things you will do
we'll to see what the company
has to offer. A great many of
our farmers are using tile, and
they are finding out that it is a
mighty good way to make
ground productive which has
hitherto not been.
40 be sure the weather this
winter has not been such as to
make tile necessary, but the wet
season will set in one of these
days, and when it does you will
perhaps wish you had some sub
drainage for your land, so as to
take the sourness out of it and
warm it up.

Says 1t Does.
A Small Town Dealer Spends
$1,000 a Year to Advantage.

The average small town mer'
chant does not believe in adver'
tising, but ]. H. Edwards, of Sc
dan, is a pronounced exception.
Mr.. Edwards went to Sedan a
few years ago without anything
and although the town has never
doomed and is still small he has
established a big business. He
owns a fine home, has his horses,
an automobile, and a successful
farm. He has built it all very
largely on advertising. "Adver-
tising is the greatest science in
business" he said to the writer
today. You don't always see
immediate returns, but you can, t
measure the effect of a carefully
worded ad. / believe 1t pays to
quote prices if you don't cut a
penny on a single article. The
newspaper .ad most suitable sales
man. The average country mer-
chant, and in fact, many towns
the size of independence, think
they are positively extravagant
if they spend $500 or $500 a year
for advertising. Last year Mr..
Edwards spent $4,000 for adver-
tising in Sedan. This will prob
ably startle some of our mer-
chants, but even when Sedan
seemed to be slipping backward
Mr.. Edwards kept up his adver-
tising campaign and made it pay.
But Mr.. Edwards would never
have learned the benefits of ad-
vertising if he had tested the
science by putting an ad in the
paper once in a while. The most
successful merchant is the most
persistent advertiser; it matters
not whether he be in big pros
porous city or in a small thriv-
ing center, or country town.
Sedan's population is only about

too much, either. The rural
route carrier has quite an expense
in the way of equipment, and he
has it to maintain. But the one
hundred dollar increase will help

Essay on the Editor .

An exchange says the follow
ing is a boys essay on an editor;
Il don't know how newspapers
came to be in the world, and !
don't think God knows, for he
amt got nothing to say about
them in the Bible. l think the
editor is the missing link we
read of and stayed in the bushes
until after the food and then
came out and wrote the things
up, and has been here ever since.
l never saw a dead one and never
heard of one getting licked. Our
paper is a mighty good, but the
editor goes without underwear
all winter and don't wear any
sox, and pa amt paid his sub
scription since the paper started.
/ asked pa if that was why the
editor had to suck the juice out
of snowballs in winter and go to
bed when he had his shirt washed
in summer. Then pa got mad
and took me out in the woodshed
and licked me awful hard. If
the editor makes mistakes folks
say he ought to be hung; but if
the doctor makes any mistakes
he buries them and people das-
sent say nothing because doctors
can read and write Latin. When
the editor makes mistakes there
is lawsuits and swearing and a
big fuss, but if the doctor makes
one there is a funeral, cut flowers
and perfect silence. A doctor
can use a work a yard long with
out him or anybody KNOWN
what it means, bat if the editor
uses one he has to spell it. IT
the doctor goes to see another
mans wife, he charges the man
for the visit, but if the editor
should go he gets a charge Of
Any college can make
a doctor to order but an editor
has to be born.

healthy.
