The Cellar Hole and the Sewer Hole
BY HERBERT KAUFMAN
Author of Do Something's! Be Sonrefhing!''

4 COAL cart stopped before an office building in Washington
and the driver dismounted, removed the cover from a man
hole, ran out his chute, and proceeded to empty the load. An
old negro strolled over and stood watching him. Suddenly the black
man glanced down and Immediately burst into a fit of uncomfortable
laughter, which continued for several minutes. The cart driver
looked at him in amusement. Say, Uncle" he asked, do you
sputtered around for a few moments and then, holding his hands
to his aching sides, managed to say, mo, sab, but I jest busts when I
sees it goin' down a sewer"
The advertiser who displays lack Of judgment in selecting the
newspapers which carry his copy often confuses the sewer and the
cellar.
All the money that is put into newspapers isn't taken out again,
by any means. The fact that all papers possess a certain physical
likeness, doesn't necessarily signify a similarity in character, and
it's character in a newspaper that brings returns. The editor who
conducts a journalistic sewer finds a different class of readers than
the publisher who respects himself enough to respect his readers.
What goes into a newspaper largely determines the class Of
homes into which the newspaper goes. An irresponsible, scandal
nongering, undertaking sheet is certainly not supported by the
buying classes OF people. 1t may be perused by thousands of readers,
but such readers are seldom purchasers of advertised goods.
It's the cRan-cut, steady, normalmnded citizens who form the
bone and sinew and muscle of the community. It's the sane, self
respecting, dependable newspaper that enters their homes and it's
the home sale that indicates the strength of an advertising medium.
No clean-ninded father of a family wishes to have his wife and
children brought in contact with the most maudin and banal phases
Of life. He defends them from the sensational editor and the I'm
pleasant advertiser. He subscribes to a newspaper which he does
not fear to leave about the house.
Therefore, the respectable newspaper can always be counted
upon to produce more sales than one which may even own a larger
circulation but whose distribution is among improbable citizens.
You can no more expect to sell goods to people who haven't
money than you can hope to pluck oysters from rosebushes.
1t isn't the number OF readers reached, but the number Of readers
whose purses can be reached, that constitutes the value Of circulation.
It's one thing to arouse their attention, but it's a far different thing
to get their money. The mind may be willing, but the pocketbook
may be weak. /
If you had the choice Of a thousand acres Of desert land OF Il
hundred acres of oasis, you'd select the fertile spot, realizing that
the larger tract had1ess value because it would be less productive.
The advertiser who really undsrasnds how-he is spending his I

WITH THE
DOINGS OF INTEREST IN THE DIFFERENT PLACES OF
-%-- WORSHIP TOMORROW -=e-


Last Sunday evening the church was
crowded to hear Rev. Geo. Fowler
on the Last Things" Sunday night
we close the series on the " Last
Things" A number of vital questions
on the series are to be answered.
Where is satan Does he still have
access to Heaven? Do you believe
that satan was once an angel of light?
What kind of a place is it where the
devil and his angels are to be shut
up? Is it necessary to eternal life to
believe in hell? These are some of the
questions. The fftieth anniversary of
the Y. w. c. A. will be the morning
theme.

Other 'EadS Than Ours
RUSH FOR GOOD ROADS

The year 1916 will witness an IN
exampled extension in the building
of firm roads in the United States
Not one state, but all states are in
terested in what, by common consent,
has become a countrywide movement.
A leading reason for this welcome fact
is the practical realization of the truth
that permanent common highways are
a g~ilt-edged investment. In the end,
and not remotely, they bring to a
whole community more money than
they cost. Any one who has seen the
manner in which they wake up a
neighborhood, stimulating its activit-
les in all directions, know that this
result is toe plain to be denied, and
that it is of an immediate nature. The
new prospect for good roads is fort
unately based on a popular conviction
that they pay, and that to be without
them is to be on the retired list with
the unenterprising. 1t is now COM
paratively easy in most of the forty
eight states to put through county and
state bond issues for the substantial
betterment of ordinary highways, and
these are the ones that have been most
neglected or inefficiently handled.
The Hollanders have a proverb that
paint costs nothing. They do not
mean that the materials for painting
or the labor required costs nothing,
but that the preservative properties
of paint are more than an offset for
the expense. Many are the items OF
advantage on the side of good roads.
Probably the increase in land values
alone would be a sufficient return to
put the balance on the right side. But
this advantage is scarcely more valua-
BILE than more economic transporta-
the saving of time, and the re-
duction of wear and tear. Good roads
nothing in the eventual account
ing. Bad roads are a constant leak
and hardship.
Votes on bond issues for scientific
road construction show, in all parts
of the country, this important change
in the attitude of the average citizen
this subject.-Chicago Tribune.

RIGHT FOR CAMPBELL, BUT

Republican newspapers are
censuring Governor Hunt for
leaving the capitol to campaign
over the State. The governor
never leaves his office for more
than three or four days at a time,
and has cancelled a number OF
speaking engagements at times
when important affairs demanded
his presence at the capitol build
ing. On the other hand, Mr..
Campbell, the republican candi-
date for governor, has been away
from his office in the Tax Com
mission 80 per cent of the time
for the past three months, but
still draws his salary with a per-
sistency worthy of a better cause.
According to the republican view
point, it is perfectly proper for
Mr.. Campbell to entirely neglect
his duties for months at a time,
but it verges on the criminal for
Governor Hunt to leave his office
for two Oh three days.
Graham guardian., 1916-10-27
HELP THE STUDENTS

The students of the Stafford
High School are working on plans
for establishing a High School
paper, a very comendable object
and one that fits in nicely with
school work; but they are finding
rocks ahead when they seek the
support of the local business man,
who can help a great deal by CIV
ing the paper a small advertise
ment, but who, in his short
sightedness, refuses to advertise
in the school paper.
The Stafford High School is one
of the best advertisements of the
many advantages of our town,
and it would seem that the local
merchant would realize this fact
and be as enthusiastic as the
High School students in publish
ing a paper that would keep the
school and town prominently be-
fore the public.
Every merchant in town should
carry an advertisement in the
High School paper and help make
the paper a success.

COMMUNICATION
Stafford, ARIZONA,
October l9, 1916.

EDITOR GUARDIAN: - | have
heard several remarks in regard
to the comparison of the food
that occurred last Friday and
Saturday and that OF last January
and in order to settle the question,
l hereby make the following
statement:
Our station above Solomonville
showed that the flood of a week
ago lacked three feet of height
in reaching the mark of that of
last January. This represents
very nearly the difference in
gage height that would have oc-
Cured had no shiftin the channel
taken place. Ihave not the data
of last winter at hand, but as |
remember it, the channel under
went very little change at this
point. 1t is certain that it did
not widen.
Owing to the tremendous rains
that fell in this valley, l was
afraid that our station at San
Carlos had been entirely SUBJ
merged, but to my surprise, the
water lacked $40 feet of reach
ing last winters mark. Here
the section did not change. In
both cases the channels are fair
ly permanent. 1t should be noted
that our station at San Carlos is
more sensitive than that at Solo
monville. By this mean that
for the same increase or decrease
in the amount of water in the
river, the San Carlos station will
show a greater rise or fall in
gage height.
Yours truly
j. B. SPIEGEL,
Junior Engineer, U. S. G. S.
