There is a movement on foot to apply
the same censorship to persons, count

relationships and it could all be made
according to law. For Instance hold

and so on. In case parties were not
introduced and it was so proven,
nothing would count at all, From

The Advertising Question

to insinuate that the newspaper is

that they are bestowing favor upon
the publisher by giving him an ad.
Such people are not aware of the
intrinsic value of anything, and sell

Did you ever stop to consider that
thousands and thousands of dol

advertising, much less its manurac-
ture And still it is being advertised.
How about our cereals, various tot

which are known and used In practi-
cally every home? Their success is
due to the lavish use of printers ink.
Local merchants seldom establish a
mail order business. Their wares are
sold principally to those who live
within radius OF few miles. Mag.
