Advertising not only pays, but its
value as news is coming to be more
and more appreciated. There is not
an enterprising corporation or shrewd
business firm that Is not now inform
ing the public through the medium of
advertisements what kind of new busi-
ness each is engaged in and what are
the prospects for the future. The old
time methods of silence on the part Of
public utility corporations have been
abandoned. Even the Standard Oh
Company was finally obliged to adver-
tise Its purpose and to authorize its
managers to give out interviews, says
the Boston Globe. No one is advertis-
ing to greater extent that the heads
Of big transportation companies and
those corporate bodies engaged In the
dissemination and wireless. These
are sensible moves. The public is
intelligence enough to appreciate all
publicity based on the truth. The
truthful advertiser succeeds all the
time, and he is deserving Of all the
increased patronage he is sure to re-
ceive. When there 10 lull in busi-
ness from any cause shrewd men of
affairs get busy and advertise.

There is an old-fashioned genuine
ness in the case of the Scotchman
who would not pay duty on Sunday
that appeals to one in these days Of
shifting standards and drifting beliefs.
His own folks never traded on that
day and he could not begin 1t. II can
ma do it." he said. I'll nae pay oot
money on the guild Sabbath" In a
quaint Pennsylvania town through
which there is much motor travel we
saw this sign in large, dignified let
ters: I'VE are grateful for your pa
tronage, but we cannot sell on Sun
day." and in the faces Of the two ell
derly women who kept the shop there
was "the sweetly soft and, delightful
emblem Of heart filed with peace"
Modern travel has transformed the
old Sunday. Country roads that knew
no sounds louder than the songs Of
the birds and nothing swifter than the
old family horse jogging home from
church now hear screeches in clouds
Of dust and the Sunday quiet Is gone.
But there are few who stick to the
old days, and often it seems they get
something out of life that Is lost in
the speed madness of the age.

A working girl in Chicago killed
herself because she was tired of
2o-cent dinners. A princess in Europe
killed herself because she could not
marry the man of her choice. And
probably each fancied herself the un-
happiest girl in the world. Neither
had the endurance to wait for better
things nor the courage to try and get
the better of adverse fortune. Per
ihaps each would have gladly changed
place with the other. feeling how light
was that others burden. The incl
dent simply shows that no station in
life will give one all one wants out of
life.

ROAD IMPROVEMENT
A Question Of Great Importance to
Wood County.

Any person who takes the trouble to
investigate will quickly observe the
great need of an adequate system of
road repair for the improved roads
of Wood County.
The tax payers of this county have
about 100000 interest in stone
roads, and it is essential that the
present roads should be kept in repair,
otherwise they will rapidly deteriorate
and this vast investment will be val
| ueless.
She same careful attention to the
roads of the country should be exer-
cised that any we'll managed private
corporation would use on such large
investment.
In Europe practically the day
new road is completed they commence
to repair it.
Whenever small hole shows in a
road it should be instantly repaired,
otherwise it will soon grow to be
very large one.
How long would an automobile or
locomotive last if it were not vigilantly
watched and repaired2 How long
would railroad track remain in con-
dition to run trains upon if it were not
for the section men constantly at work
maintaining it7
The same vigilance should be used
on the taxpayers immense investment
in country roads.
