by the editor of this paper? Too
many times to remember, per-
baps.

vast Improvement.
Instead Of waiting for US to
ask you, suppose you just take
the initiative and tell US, or write
us,or phone us what you know in
the nature of news.
That little piece of information
you have revolving around in
your Uranium may not be Of
great Importance to you, but to
others it may be of vital intsrest

value.
Every piece of news you read
in this paper We have received
from some source or other. The

as a means of getting business it
is az helpless as a one-legged
man on milk stool. Nobody
ever heard of a rubber stamp 60
ing out into the country and drag
cling in a bunch of rural custom
ers who can tell a bargain without
being laid open just above the
eyes with a club. The man who
relies upon the rubber stamp and
the fact that he married into the
Smith family, as a substitute for
printers ink, will be able to hold
his annual clearance sale without
suffocating any of his trade.
All Of our great merchant
princes landed in the king row
by buying huge printers ink and
spreading it over two pages
crammed fnll of lingerie cuts and
enticing price figures. The auto-
mobile industry owes more to
printers ink than it does to the
fitful self.starter, which some
times fits and sometimes starts.
In view of these plain statements
of undying truth, the jury will
now retire and render judgment
upon the good citizen, kind
neighbor and loyal friend who
says it doesn't pay to advertise
and knows because he never
tried it.

Printers Ink.

Printers ink is q combination
of lamp black and brains which
makes dollars grow in place of
dimes. If it had not been for the
judicious use of printers ink and
the Cardiff giant P. T. Barnum
would never have been heard of
outside of his front yard and
John Wanamaker would still be
doing business in a hat box, with
a turnover of $500 per annum.
Printers ink is the cheapest
form of publicity known, next to
telling a secret to ones wife, and
vet there have been thousands of
men who never found it out until
it was too late to make terms with
the referee in bankruptcy. All
along the highway of life are
scattered the whightening skele-
tons of promising business ven.
lures which started out with a
large bank balance and no other
form of publicity except regular
attendance upon the meetings Of
the official board. One by one
the proprietors discovered that
they were catering largely to
their immediate relatives and a
willing class of trade with genial
manners but no collateral, and
before long the community was
shocked by a dull, mufflad ex-
ploslon caused by sheriff's sale
notice coming in contact with a
cylinder press.
Nearly all of the merchants
who have failed because people
could not remember whether they

The thrift and general prosper.
ity for the farmer is indicated by
the method employed in caring
for his tools and agricultural i'm
plements. Figures speak for
themselves, and the progressive
efficient, and money making man,
accepts the story which they tell
and profits thereby.
In the year 1900 the value of
all farm property, in the shape of
farm implements and machinery,
was S749, 775,970. In 1910 this
same value has increased to
81, 255,147,783, representing an
increase of 68.7 per cent. These
figures mean that the farmers
are realizing the benefit to be de-
rived from the use of labor saving
machinery.
In 1900 the acreage of improv-
ed lands and farms was Ala. 498,-
4S9; in 1910 this became 49,
45l, 75O--an increase of only 1914
per cent Therefore, in 1900
there was $3.50 worth of machin-
cry for each acre Of improved
farm land, while in 1910 this had
increased to $2.65, or an increase
Of 47per cent.
With so much capital invested
in equipment, the farmer is GER
tainly bad business man if he
does not take some steps to pro-
tect his tools and agricultural i'm
PIGMENTS to reduce the depreoia-
ton and to increase it's length of
life. A fair estimate of the aver.
age value of machinery on a farm
Is $1,000 and the farmer who gives
no care and attention to his tools
and implements will have an an.
nual reduction, in their value, of
approximately $500, besides his
interest charge of $50 on his in
vestment. The farmer who prop
erly houses his machinery will
have an annual deduction of
s66.66 for depreciation, and the
same interest charge of $50, a
saving therefore, of $133.34 per
annum. The saving On machin.
cry properly housed will pay for
a shed in two or three years.
The annual saving above re-
ferred to does not take into con.
sideration the advantages that
accrue in havinfi a machine that
will operate when it is called upon
to do so; the added value the
building itself gives the farm; the
additional prestige which will re-
dound to the owner OF the farm
