READING ADS

There are more ways than one to
become educated and good deal
of ones education is used every day
To make good selection in buying
lis almost as important as to save part
of ones income. The man who can't
be fooled Is apt to be the man whd
keeps posted on the things he has to
buy. There is only one kind of read
ing matter for this purpose, and that
is, advertisement. To be an educated
buyer you have to know lot about
what advertisements tell.
Advertisement, the word, means
'forewarning," but how many per-
sons take heed before they go out to
invest? You can tell If man Is a
gentleman, generally, by his appear
ance, and likewise you can learn
about the style of a merchant by
looking over his "ads'' as they APP
pear from day to day.
An advertisement is really a
gage, an earnest, something to hold
by il you are misled, for no merchant
can get very far if he publishes false
hoods about his goods. 1t is the
merchant that fails to "forewarn"
you in print, good black and white
print, that you must watch out for.
The things you eat and wear and
work with are Of every day import
ance-keep posted on them.

NEWSPAPER FAMINE COMING

| The Rigby Star, of Jefferson
county, Idaho, announces raise OF
l5O cents year on the price OF the
subscription for its weekly paper ON
account OF the sharp advance In news
print and other materials consumed
in producing the newspaper, and this
does not equal the raise In the price
Iof materials.
| According to statistical informa-
|tion reaching our desk there has been
Ia general advance of about DO per
cent In printing materials In the past
two years and still going up. some
materials have advanced several
hundred per cent and others only
small amount. The raw materials
from which paper is made are also
used In making explosives, and the
demand for munitions Is imperative
and at good prices. This leaves the
paper maker short of material. Fer
lhaps the least affected of any mater
lials used in making paper are the
chemicals know as ultramarines
which were quoted before the war
at from $12 to $40 and are now wy
to $50. Gunny bagging advanced
from s1.2O to $3.75, Manila from
I$2.45 to 1925, white shirt cuttings
from $3.50 to $12, old white from
$2.12 to $3.50, soiled street whites
from S1.25 to $3.50 and old black
stockings from $1.12 to $3.50.
Wood pulp enters largely into the
manufacture Of such paper as news
papers are printed on, and 1t has not
advanced so sharly as other grades.
The Republican office just received
delivery on ton lot ordered the
second of June, and we received
l120O pounds instead Of ton, but
the price was about the same as we
paid for ton before the war. IL
now becomes question Of getting 1t
at all, saying nothing OF the price.
Eastern newspapers finding 1t inn
possible to keep up their supply from
the eastern paper makers are tooK-
ling to new sources. oregon ana
Washington have many paper Mills
and they recently sent three train
loads of print paper east to help
cover the shortage there, and that
makes 1t hard for western papers TO
get their orders filled. Eastern papers
are cutting down the size OF their
productions, and are even reducing
the margins to save that little differ-
ence. Many of them have ceased TO
try to increase their circulation, are
cutting down their lists severely to
eliminate the improbable subscrib-
ers, and predictions are being freely
made that unless there are radical
changes in conditions, the next few
months will witness more newspaper
failures and greater thinning out OF
the little papers than have ever be-
fore been dreamed OF as possible or
probable.

PASSES THROUGH
WHOLE FAMILY

| During the thunder showers Mon
lday evening between and 10 o'clock
huge charges OF electricity could
lplainly be seen darting down into the
communities Just west OF town, and
many persons wondered II it were
doing any damage. 1t did one aston
fishing thing. The e. w. Talbot family
who live at Moreland, were quietly
engaged in their evening duties, the
women crocheting and darning and
the men reading and talking. Sud
denly a terrific clap of thunder came
land everyone in the house ftingled
with the shock. Miss Alta, girl OF
lis years, was most severity struck
and one of her sandal shoes was torn
from her foot and carried across the
room. Mrs. Talbot felt the shock in
,tensely, but was more frightened
about the girl than hurt. They all
felt numbness for several hours
afterwards. Alta began to crawl to
Iher mother from where the lightning
charge had knocked her on the floor.
land she was soon got to bed. Her
foot from which the shoe was snatch
ed appeared ivory. white for several
hours and blisters were burned along
the sole.
The only sign about the house of
the path of the bolt was some slight
damage to the stove pipe, which
seemed to be pierced in a number of
places as If by bullets. The charge
evidently passed down thru the
chimney and stove to the floor and
thence to the ground.

House But She Finally Reached
Her Door and O Gun

An exciting episode in the history
of rabid coyotes took place at PIN
gree last week when Mrs. w. II.
Scott returning home found coyote
engaged in fight with some house
dogs In her front door yard. For
% while it seemed she would not be
able to reach the house as the fight
ragged directly in her path. but at last
she managed to dash past the strug-
Cling beasts, secured gun from the
house and came back out. The coyote
retreated, but Mrs. Scott pluckily fol-
lowed and shot him. The head was
sent to Boise for examination for hy-
drophobia, but no report has been re-
turned as yet. The whole community
is somewhat excited over this incl
dent and are awaiting news from the
state veterinarians office with
anxiety.
