TO SECURE BETTER ROADS
Pennsylvania Township Official Got
the Cooperation Of Others by Ad-
vertIsIne In Home Paper.

II your community needs good
roads. advertise for them in your
home newspapers!
DR.. Donald McCaskey is president
of the supervisors board of Lampeter
township, Lancaster county, Pa He
wanted .better roads for his commu-
nifty, but found 1t hard to get the CO
operation Of his brother officials.
He is a great believer in advertis-
ing, so he bought 1000 inches of ad-
vertising space in the local weekly
newspaper, called The Home. to tell
the people why good roads were need
ed and how they could get them:
DR.. McCaskey got up series of ad-
vertisements which he called Road
Bulletins" heading them Road Dis
eases Unmasked." in which he gave
facts and figures.
The bulletins were read thoroughly
by the country folks around-so thor
oughly, in fact. that while few
months ago rhe Doctors efforts for
road improvement were met with ar
rogant refusal, since the appearance
OF these educational Road Bulletins"
the road officials are now inclined to
cooperate and assist in fixing the
roads.
The newspaper advertising columns
saved the day! and the township has
become one Of the most notable in
the state in the matter Of road i'm
provement.
This is new departure in news
paper advertising. and. as 1t has
proved so effective In this case. there
is no reason why public official In
any branch Of the service, who finds
himself confronted with indifference
or animosity, should not buy GER
tain amount OF advertising space and
tell his story to the public.
If the story is true-if he is an
honest, efficient workman-the people
will soon find it out and will support
him in every way In their power.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1912-02-14

Tell your advertising story
in full, ard tell it right. Use
enough words 10 make every
point clear. Don't fall into the
error that advertising must be
"boiled Gown" until there's
nothing worth while left In 1t.
People will read an advertise
ment that occupies dozen
pages If II Is interesting enough.
and there's nothing In all the
world so interesting as business.

legs ought to be, Abraham Lin
coin replied that they ought to

The Independent Farmer

Why do farmers depend so largely
on commercial fertilizers, for which
even in the purest form available
they have TO pay very heavy tribute
to manufacturer and middle-man, ana
which offer so alluring an opportunity
for adulteration and substitution,
it is so easy to obtain the chemicals
required for the various crops and
mix them oneself in proper propor-
ton? All the information necessary
can be readily obtained from the
State Agricultural College or the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Moreover. very excellent CONNER
cial fertilizer prepared for use IN rails
ing a given crop may not prove OF
great value to any given farmer, be-
cause It's proportions of certain ele-
ments are not what his particular soil
requires. Ii is an easy matter, and a
profitable, to have samples OF ones
soil analysed at the State Experiment
Station. Thus armed with knowledge
as to the requirements of his soil and
its adaptability to various crops, the
farmer can 20 ahead intelligently in
the preparation VI SuCH ShtihlNai ASi
tilizers as he needs. This sort OF farm
ing makes a man alert and progress
sive, and, with its inevitable encour-
aging results, always stimulates him
to further endeavor along tue lines OF
scientific agriculture
Another thing that farmers need 10
do is to emancipate themselves as
much as possible nom the mixed Iced
habit-thaJis. the practice OF pur-
chasing feeds already mixed. If com
mercial feed must be used by the
farmer and, probably, in very many
instances, under prevailing conditions
il cannot well be avoided-let hlm
buy the separate ingredients and mix
them. himself. Thus, he will take
away from those constantly alert to
exploit tempting means of graft. The
farmer. normally, is the most indie
pendent OF mortals, yet he all too Of
ten voluntarily surrenders his indie
pendence in such ways as these, and
the chains of his servitude are no less
strongly forged because he fails fully
TO realize the fact.-Springfeld Re

This was the pitiful story she told

the pores and stop perspiration. with
the result that the body could not throw
off impure matter through the pores,
and this lmpurity went back into the
system and broke out in pimples and

WOMEN SHOPPERS
ARE URGED TO CROSS
STREETS AT CORNERS

In order to keep down automobile
and traffic accidents Judge Nash r.
Broyles today advised all women shop
pers to cross downtown streets only at
the corners
Crossing in the middle of the streets
though not forbidden. often confuses
drivers who ordinarily are very care
full" said the judge, and throws into a
panic those not careful. If the women
would inconvenience themselves a lit
tie they would help matters greatly"
The number of automobile accidents
of the last few days has been unusually
large and the police are inclined to
think that the fault is not always with
the driver
Chief Beavers declared in favor Of
law which would require pedestrians TO
cross streets in the commercial district
only at the corners.
