In spite of all its drawbacks
advertising is mdny times over tn,
cheapest method of markerla:
goods.
And the principal drawback o
advertising is the non-readint
public. II costs many times NOR,
than il Ought TO simply bccauS,
Won have not acquired the hahi
of consciously reading the ads. II
costs that much more to put al
idea into your heads subconscious
ly than it would il you receive,
that idea consciously and willing
Iy.
Now why don't yon do YOU
share toward lowering the cost oy
rt"rkctinc merchandise?
Practically every standard
thing you buy is an advertised ar
ticlc. And it is always cheaper
because it is advertised. The vol
nmc and the distribution more
than make up for the ADVERTISING
cost. You can't send a salesman
around from door to door y,
ehraply as You can a, newspaper.
But the nity Of it is that most
advertisers have got to get then
ideas into your mind when Sot
are not looking. The greater parl
of advertising impression is sub.
conscious impression. Your oyt
REGISTERS the thought against your
will.
If YOU would only learn to read
consciously and even eagerly what
an automobile manufactured ur y
clothing merchant or q shoe store
has 10 say about its product YOU
would bring down he cost of each
article immeasurably.
AfteE SSpu have read what II
man has to say for his product

in" Instead of making II constant

IF YOU will do this the whole
problem will be Simnlificd immc,

spend sixty per cent. of his money

1t does not pay to advertise say
some merchants who have done but
little of 1t and that without keeping
it up. The incident of the boy and the
pump illustrates the matter very we'll.
The boy was sent after a pail of water.
He poured in the printing poured out
as much as he poured in. Then he
stopped to rest and the printing ran
down. After some time of alternate
pumping and resting he concluded it
did not pay to pump and quit in dis
gust. The merchant who does not be.
lieye in advertising does it like the
boy did the pumping. He advertised
again and then concluded advertising
didn't pay.

Some of the exchanges have made
mention of the fact that the farmers
living along the lines OF rural routes
have contributed bushel or so of
corn to the carrier. This is a sugges
tion that might well be acted upon by
the patrons of every rural route. The
carriers have a government job, but
II is by no means private snap 1t
takes good deal of management to
make both ends meet when they are
obliged to keep two horss, live in town
and buy all the necessary provisions
at the market price The carriers of
our country have gone over their
routes during the muddy weather at
a great Inconvenience and are always
faithful in the performance of their
duties. A bushel Of corn or so given
to the carrier would hardly be missed
by the farmer, but it would be great
saving to the expense of horse feed
and the generous act would certainly
be appreciated by the faithful mail
man.

1t reads this way:

II reads this way.
In the battle for good government
we commend to the democracy of the
country the leadership of one who has
been at all times formost in the fight
and whose work as circuit attorney Of
st, Louis and governor OF Missouri ac-
complished so much for political and
practical reform which. like a tidal
wave, Is now sweeping over the whole
country Conservative as an admins
trative officer and progressive In his
legislative policy. he is the foe of all
grafters, the friend of all honest toll
ers, and will make the doctrine of
equal rights living force in govern
ment. Therefore. the democracy of
Missouri presents for nomination for
president in 1912. Joseph w Folk, and
plege to him our hearty support"
There's nothing equiyocal about
that, is there? II may be that you do
not regard that pledge as binding upon
you. 1t may be that you believe the
democratic convention which met att
Jefferson City In September, 1910 was
not authorized to commit the party
to the candidacy of anybody for the
presidency.
rhe fact Is that it assumed that au-
thority. Let us say that it arrogated
that prerogative unto itself. Let us
regard in whatever way we will. Still,
the fact remains that if you had been
a delegate to that convention; If you
had presided as its temporary chair
man. If you had been shown the reso-
lutions and approved them and had
voted for them-you certainly would
consider that the pledge was binding
on YOU wouldn't you?
OF course you would, And that's
the way everybody considers Ii.

A local newspaper is absolutely nee
essary to any community. 1t is the
home paper that keeps the people of
the community in touch with each
other by giving them all the news of
their own neighborhood and county.
For that alone they are of value and
worth far more than the small sub
scription price. They keep the local
pride and progressive spirit aroused
and in various ways are worth far
more to a community than a eommun.
