them.
The editor wrote the facts down
as the citizen gave them. turned the
paper around and handed his pencil
to him.

WHY, read it over, and if it is
correct, you are to sign it for publ
cation"
Not on your lifel Why, do you
think would have my name appear
to that against a nelghbor?
We'll you said you knew all the
facts about this matter. and that
they ought to be published, didn't
you? Now the editor knew nothing
about it till you told him. How
could he tell the public about it?
Don't you sec that you r the per-
SON who knows the facts. and who
must ieil the public?
"Oh, WE'LL" said the citizen mid.
ly, Never mind about it. Well
just let the matter drop. Good
day.
The article was slipped into the
editorial desk, and two names added
to the list of fellows who ''don'i
like the editor, because a fellow
whom the editor generously screens
is usually the first to cuss him, and
of course the angry citizen won't
speak to the editor for g year

OLD BIBLE IN
MATTER FAMILY
1856 Year Old Bible Owned i'm
Hand County

The PRESS recently published an
account of an old bible owned by a
family at Watertown. This ancient
heirloom was printed in Edinburgh
in 1779, and had been handed down
through several generations in the
Tarbell family.
This item brought out the fact
that a pioneer family of Hand coun-
ty has a bible printed in Germany in
1929. 1t is the property of the wild
ow of Rev. Franz Matter, of Spring
twp. Mr. Matter was well known
at this Office where he often called
on his visits to Miller. He was for
many years pastor of the Lutheran
organization in north Hand county.
The Orient Argus gives this des-
cription of the ancient bible greatly
priced by Mrs Matter:
MRS F. W. Matter, a resident of
Hand county, a few miles south of
Orient, has n her possession a SINH
lar book that was printed in Ger
many in the year 1929. or so years
previous to the one above mentioned
making it lS6 years old. 1t has been
similarly handed down through gen.
Grafton after generation of the Mat
ter family and was found in the
private library of the Rev. F. w.
Matter at the time of his death. The
book is in a fine state preservation
every word readable-and is highly
priced by Mrs Matter, not only on
account Of its age, but as a family
heirloom and It's tender ties"

WHO KNOWS HOW
TO GET BUSINESS?
Business Means Publicity and
Publicity Is Advertising

John II. Patterson. president Of
the big National Cash Register Co.
at a recent convention of travelling
statesmen, at DAYTON, Ohio, said:
The approaching era of prosperity
will probably exceed ANYTHING
this country has seen. Now is the
time for storekeepers to advertise"
HIS company is spending more
than $500, 900 this month in adver.
Using their productions.
To sell goods of any kind or des-
cription a dealer must get the at
tention of the public in some way.
Whatever way or method he uses to
accomplish this purpose is adver-
Using
In other words, no business man
can do business without advertising.
If he could, why foolishly pay rent
for a store on Main street. why put
goods in his windows? Whv not
pull down his curtains. or better
still, slip off by himself and hide his
goods in some out-of-the-way place,
where he can save on rent. lights,
fuel and all expenses of a real bust
hess house?
Is the above true? Can a man
sell goods without some form of
publicity, of advertising them or
himself? Do you know any other
way to do business, reader? Ger
tainly not.
Now the only thing for a bust
ness mar to decide is what IS the
best method of advertising. He
may consider what is the cheapest
if he wants to-but really that is
of little value to him. He wants
results, and the way to get results
Is the method he wants and must
have to secceed. Merely to get the
cheapest method without results is
useless.
How to advertise to get business
is one of the most serious problems
Of any business man-as frequently
demonstrated in every town by
would be business men quitting the
game because they did not attract
the purchasing public to their place
of business. Hence, the man who
considers advertising as unimport'

lures of his business. The public
wants to know. fhe wise business
