Some Comments on Adver-
Using

Advertising is a subject TO when
few readers give sufficient thought
and yet it is of vital importance 10
them considered from an educatonai
standpoint alone.
Do YOU realize that men are paid
from $4,000 to $4,000 year Tor
their ability to write advertising
copy?
You will find some of this splendid
ability shown in the columns OF the
Independent-Re and We Wlsh
to impress upon you the tact that
there is interesting, instructive and
beneficial reading to be found In our
advertising columns. or course we
know there are a lot of subjects dis
cussed there that may not interest
every reader; on the other hand,
there is not an issue that does not
contain an advertisement that Will
give you some new idea, add to your
comfort, and in all probability save
you money. Take for instance the
unusually fine advertisement publish
ed this week by Fred Clark, about
United States Cream Separators 1t
Is to your interest that you pay some
attention to advertising columns.
In the advertising columns you
find the story of the worlds com
mercial progress. Ninety per cent
of all the new inventions are first
brought to public notice through ad-
vertising.
We want every reader to take an
interest in the advertisements APP
pearing in the Independent-Repo
because they help to provide the I'm
ancial support of this paper. All
these advertisers are first class bust
ness concerns which have been in
yestigated and are guaranteed by the
publisher. Buy their goods when
ever you can; it will be appreciated
by us IL you mention this paper.

They Go Through a Trying Ordeal In
Getting a Name.
When children are born In Ashanti
they are at once rubbed all over with
n mixture OF oil and red Ocher, this
being repeated every two days. Their
mouths are washed with a fiery con
coction in which red pepper is the
main ingredient. and a crier goes
through the town proclalmlng the new
arrival and claiming for it a name and
a place among the living.
Some one else is a distant part of the
village acknowledges the fact and
promises. on the part of the people,
that the newborn babe shall be re-
ceived into the community. The towns.
people then assemble In the streets.

posed to view.
