Advertising Space Costs Money.

Good goods bring fair prices.
DOOR articles are good for what
ever they can get. This Is true of
advertising as of everything else.
AS a rule low rates and large dis
counts are a sure indication Of
small circulation Advertising
space in publications Of good cir

outlay and cannot be offered at a
nominal price without loss. Pub.

do not do business for nothing,
neither are they in it for the
pleasure it affords. Hence they
they cannot afford to give sdyer'
tisins space for less than cost.
Low rates may be taken as a
positive proof of equally small
and comparatively valueless
circulation.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
HELD THIS WEEK

E. "a. Greenwood, J. G. East
gate, G.. r. Bobbs and Miss Nor
ton were here from Wednesday
morning until Thursday after
noon holding a Farmers Institute.
Il was not as we'll attended as
last year for some unknown
reason but the absent ones :were
the losers. Splendid talks were
given on stock raising, diersi-
fled farming, rotation !of crops,
poultry and domestic science.
Among the many good things
said by Mr.. Eastgate was a de-
scription of the word home"
He said more farmers should
think and make this their home
in place of just trying to earn
the money to take them back
to their boyhood residence.
The necessity Of tree planting
was also given a prominent
place on the program. Each SEES
sion was a profitable one and
worth any PERSONS time however
busy they imagined they were
and did not attend.
