Contributed Articles Must be Signed

1t has been our custom to publish
contributed articles on public matters
from customers whom we knew had
the best interests of cur city at heart
with most amy kind of signature, but
in two out of every three cases the
reader believes it's our own article
with a borrowed signature. This nev
eT was true and we have never been
guilty of this 1ffense. Sometimes a
good article is better without the
authors signature for sometimes in
dividuality takes from the sincerity
of the subject matter. However,
knowing the fact that some readers
mi sjudge the intention of the publish
er, to avoid amy further misgivings
in this respect, we are Obliged to
come to the conclusion that from now
ON We shall insist ON having articles
signed and if they are not the rea-
der may know that someone connec-
ted with the paper is responsible
for them. This viii be enforced from
now ON.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING THE
BEST.

If newspaper advertising wasn't
the best advertising, the big mer-
chants and manufactures of the coun-
try would not spend rs per cent of
the total money spent ia advertising
in the newspapers. Newspapers go
into the homes because people want
them-they are bought to be read.
What do you do with all the adver-
tising, so called junk that comes in
ii e mail to you? Nearly, if not all
of it, goes into the waste basket or
81 owe without being read. You can
r ach more people for less money
tnrough the newspapers, and more
effectual1y than in any other manner.
Do you want to save money? Think

A well-known illustrator, who makes
interesting western pictures. once
made the acquaintance of noisy but
sood-natured cowboy who rejoiced in
the appellation of "Hollering Jones'"
In physical appearance this man was
typical of his kind. and the artist made
several studies OF him. both in re-
pose and in his favurite diversion of
"hollering. Some Of the stLdies were
sold by the artist to an eastern maya
zine. They showed Jones In his most
violent state.
A year later the artist again visited
the region. He was soon approached
by Mr.. Jones himself. bearing one of
the pictures, which he had torn from
the magazine in which its was printed.
Pointing to 1t. he asked:
rs that me?"
Well" replied the artist, evssively.
Il got the general idea from you, Of
course, but"
"Oh, amt tal6in' no offense," Jones
made haste to say. ITS all right: only
II it's me. say so.'
III you put It to me that way" said
the artist. Il can only reply that 1t Is
a fairly good portrait Of you"
