How Advertising Reduces Your
 Cost of Living.

Advertising is the means by which merchants or manufactur- CTS may tell a great number of people about teh superior quality of their goods, the desirablllty of their merchandise and the reason it will be to your advantage to patrOniZe them.
 Advertising enables merchants to bring hundreds and thousands of customers to their stores. It enables them to do large VOL ume of business at minimum eN- penSe.
 Advertising establishes the |cOnfidence of the community, makes new friends, keeps old cus- toners interested and. brings the news of the store right into the customers home.
 The merchant who advertises continuously appeals to all the !people in town, while the mer- chant who does not advertise sits within his door and waits for the people to find him out or acci- dentally drop in as they are pass ing by.
 Advertising is such a powerful selling force and business build CT that merchants who use it are enabled to sell better goods at the lowest prices. Read the adver- tisements in The PrOspector closely and constantly every day for proof.

per ton for coal from Gallup to

Salt Lake City, 10 miles, it costs
81. 10 per ton, and from Gallup to
Holbrook 81 miles, So. so per ton.

Lurid Advertising.

The Los Angeles Times has begun a
campaign against extravagent misstate-
ments of facts in advertising, with spe-
cial reference to real estate advertising.
Such a thing is not good thing for the
advertised; it is not good thing for the
newspaper, and is certainly not good
thing for the community. A town,
that is, if it is a deserving town, will
build up more rapidly and solidly if the
truth is told about it than if it is inves-
ted with superlative attributes which it
does not actually possess. A misstate-
ment cannot be long concealed, and
when it has been exposed, the public is
likely to look with suspicion upon every
statement, however truthful bearing
upon the same subject. The Times an
nonnces that it will not engage in any
'puffery," F" that is in eulogies of men
and conditions where the facts do not
warrant such use of it's columns.

have sinned needlessly. There was so
much that could be said truthfully Of
that city, it's advantages and the ad-
vantages offered by Southern California,
that extravaganza was superfuous and
calculated to raise doubt. Here was
a case where the truth would have SER
we'd the purpose better than lie.
1t must be said in behalf of the real
estate men of Phoenix generally, as
we'll as those of the other towns of the
valley, that they have confined them
selves to the facts. Perhaps they
should not be given too much credit for
veracity; they just could not get outside
the facts. Human imagination could
not soar beyond them. Here truth is
indeed stranger than fiction. Arizona

SOIL PRODUCTS EXPOSE
ton AT TULSA, OK.
OCTOBER 22 TO NOVEM-
BER l, 1918.

Good business demands that the farm
er should produce the maximum in
quantity and the highest percentage of
quality from his acreage.
The object of the International Soil
Products exposition is the education of
the farmer to better methods of farm
ing.
There are two distinct divisions of
the exposition:
First; That held in conjunction with
the international Dry-Farming Con-
gress, known as the Division of Dry
Farmed products, the exhibits being
made under the special rulings known
as fRule 1" and "Rule II" in exhibitors
information under ''Division of Dry
Farmed Products.
Second: The Division of General
Soil Products. in which. all products OF
the soil grown under any climatic con-
ditions in any soil or under any method
of agriculture in any section of the
world may be exhibited for display only,
but shall not be entered in the compe-
titions.
The International Dry-Farming Con-
gress held in Tulsa during the period of
the Exposition will be without doubt
the best Agricultural convention ever
held on American soil. All nations of
the world have been invited to partici-
pate, both in the Exposition and the
Congress, and the six-day program dur
ing the dates of the Exposition will
consist of the following conferences:
Farm Management. Soils, Tillage
and Machinery. Agricultural Engineer
ing. Agricultural Forestry. Agricul-
tural Education. Livestock and Dairy
ing. Crops and Baeeding. Conference
of Agricultural Colleges and Expert
men Stations, Rural Homes Qnter-

Vanderluis was driving. He.

Others who saw the accident say
the speed was about sixty niles.

A few days ago, Vanderluis

Now you get it-now you don't.
That's just about how the mail
service in Snowflake stands.
The mail is scheduled; according
to advise received from the de-
partment at Washington by The

2::3O P. M. and reach Showlow in
twelve hours. To leave Showlow
at 200 A. M. and reach Holbrook
at 200 P. M. Making the Snow
flake time, going from Showlow
to Holbrook $50 A. M. The
time of reaching Snowflake from
Holbrook, $50 P. M. The above
schedule is alright and seems to
look good, but there is very lit
tie likelihood of the mail getting
here on time, causing the patrons
of the Snowflake office to wait
some fourteen hours for their
mail on week days and on Sun
day twenty-seven hours, or until
five P. M. Sundays. The depart
ment says: IF it can be shown
that this change has in any way
impaired the efficiency of the
service, or the postal facilities at
Snowflake, the matter of restor-
ing the former schedule will be
given prompt attention.
1t will be noticed that the mail
is to go from Holbrook to Show
low in twelve hours and leave
