There's goal the other fellow is endeavorn to reach
An his better self is noble though he hides it speech
An there isn't question: Gods records could scan
We'd find the other fellow written down there as man.
There would be less need for and for hight

PASSING OF RURAL ROADSIDE
ADVERTISING.

Advertising, and especially adver.
Using designed primarily to reach
the rural reader, is undergoing rap
id change. This is due in part to the
fact that the farmer, because OF bet
ter mail facilities, reads more papers
than formerly
There are other influences, too.
More and more is the farmer coming
TO appreciate the beauty about him
and to see in the countryside more
than a billboard. He is 40 longer
willing to have his barn roof, his
fences or gates, or even the fine old
tree in front of the farm convert' d
into cheap advertising agency.
True, there are exceptions. Acca-
sionally we find farmer who l. will
ing to advertise some store by allow
ing an advertisement in box car let
tiers to be painted on his barn roof,
or who in exchange for circus tickets
has the side of his stable covered with
show advertising. The average farm
er. however, is coming to guard jeal-
ously the beauty of his place-his
home. If on this place there is adj
vertising it is his own. Nor is the
character of this advertising objec-
tionabie. Generally it consists of the
farm name. To this is sometimes
added the name of the farm owner.
Neatness and permanency, rather
than size and gaudiness, characterize
the sign.
Formerly, board fences on the road
sides near towns and villages were
covered with the advertisements of
local merchants. AS time passed,
business transfers and deaths made
of these standing ads a sort OF
morgue or business cemetery direc-
tory.
Now town and country are becom-
ing more respectful of the rights Of
each other as they are drawn into
more intimate and sympathetic rela-
tionship. The country is coming to
resent the ugly and to strive for the
beautiful and the worth while, just
as does the city. AS this idea grows,

with all the activity and ambition ano
comeliness of youth and at the same
time with the experience and wisdom
of age. This renewed man would I'M
derstand the follies and pitfalls that
lay in the way of his callow youth
and know how to avoid them. He
would be acquainted with the ways
of the smooth spoken CRATER and re-
fuse to be taken in. He would avoid
fool investments taught by the sad
experience of his early and middle
life. Naturally he would have every
advantage of the young fellow who
was going through his first expert
ence. He would have the polish that
comes from education and mingling
with the world. He would know him
self and know other men. He would
realize his own capacities and his own
weaknesses. 1t may be that some
time in the future it will be COM
mon thing for men ard women who
have passed the deydey of life and
are beginning to feel the winter of /
coming age to go to the life renewing /
station and be dipped in the fluid of I
youth. Incidentally, if they happen
to have any organs that are imper-
feet, such as a heart with valves that
leak, or liver that has spots on it,
or lung that has not the proper ex-
pansion, or an eye that has not per-
feet vision, or nose that is too long
Or too short, or that tits at the end,
or a pair of ears that flare out into

there may come time when no MGR
chant will dare mar the beauty Of a
country drive by placing there an
unsightly billboard or other Lndesir-
able form of advertising.
Why should the town when it has
its annual cleanup week haul all the
empty cans, broken crockery, old
stoves and rubbish generally and
dump them in gullies along the road
side where the farmer and his fam
lily must look at them every time they
drive to town? Why should not farm
cleanup week and town cleanup week
be one and the same?

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS
TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.

Every week the paper-this pape
or any other paper-has typographi
cal errors; and there is always some
one ready to laugh mirthlessly over
IT and hold the paper up to scorn ano
say blacksmith could do better job
with both hands tied, and proceeds
to bawl the editor out publicly. And
the editor, being meek in spirit and
lowly, grins sun-grin as If he liked
it, because he knows the utter futility
Of explaining. Then he goes back to
the shop and bites nail in two or
eats woolly worm to relieve his feel
ings; and finally wonders how his
tormentors would feel should he turn
critic and point out the typographical
errors, so TO speak, in the makeup Of
the hilarious ones.
For instance: Hon Jehu Junkins
shaves himself, and last Sunday APP
peared at church with a patch Of I'M
shaven whiskers under the angle of
his jaw the size of mans thumb;
Sis StigRins had her hat on crooked
and the shoestring on her switch
showed through what little real hair
she has left. The undershirt Of the
belle of the village hung on one side
q full inch below the bottom of her
dress; Amir Toots, one of our best
known city gents, walked down the
aisle with a long raveling hanging
to his coat tail; old Ebenezer Stone
had blacked the front compartment
of his shoes until he could see his
reflection in them, while his shoe
heels had not had treatment since
he bought them last summer, and
they bore traces and the odor of the
barnyard; Billy b. Dem, who ordinar-
lily doesn't give three whoops for any
thing and doesn't care who knows it, !
blushed a rosy red when, walking o
with his best girl, he produced a S
wash rag from his pocket instead Of a

iHiiAlERED SECURITIES

big business concerns and the farm
ers OF this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life of any
business organization, should be able
/ to say Il know that my Redeemer
liveth,' but farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there is more
| water in its financial transaction than
that of any other industry. There is
as much water in a farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines of industry secure
money for four or FIVE per cent per
annnm, as there is in a business pay
ing reasonable compensation upon
the face value of securities repre-
senting an investment of only fifty
cents ON the dollar The only diff
ference Is, the water is in the interest
rate in one instance and in the secur-
tiles in the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances

A noted surgeon and chemist as
well claims to have made the discov-
cry of process by which he can re-
new animal tissue. He can take a
part of some organ of the body such
as the liver, or a lung, or the heart
and by treating it to an infusion of
some sort of serum he can quicken
it into new life after it is apparently
dead. He has taken part of chick
en- heart, for example, and restored
the pulsation and caused it to grow
new again. "This suggests wonder
full possibilities" remarked Old Bill
Misgivens when the above was called
to his attention. eff he can take a
wornout heart, for example, and
make it over into one that is just as
good as new, he can also restore the
liver, kidneys and other vital organs
Finally he can enlarge on the process
until he can take the old man as
whole and dip him in this life renew

youth with new hair, new teeth, new
