" London, Jan. 1.-The Russian army, rejuvenated by fresh equipment and ; with fresh munitions from the Unit cd States, England and Japan, is re- s ported engaged in terrific attack on ! the Austrian Hungarian lines in Ga { licia.
 A Reuter- Telegram company dis Rpatch from Petrograd says that Aus sstrians and Germans numbering 4 mill Alion and a half are engaged. This sdispatch says whatever chnages have < occurred have been in favor of the Russians.
 Official reports from Vienna and SPetrograd fail to make any claim of advantage for their respective armies. s7'he Austrian reports say the Rus S.sian attacks have been repulsed ev- gerywhere. with heavy losses. Indications are that Russia has been preparing for these gigantic operations for a long time. Lack of news of the gathering strength of the movement in the Bessarabian re- gicn is attributed to the fact that Suspended for a month.

cost but that Of hauling his crop
to the railroad has been reduced
for the farmer. Railroad charges
are barely one-tenth what they
were two generations ago, and
railroad expansion has converted
an empire of wild land in the
West into granary for the
world.
The Federal Office of Roads
points out that, before the war
sent ocean rates kiting, it cost
more to haul a bushel of wheat
ten miles to the station than to
ship it from New York to Liver
pool. State Engineer Sooley says
that the average cost of moving
ton of produce to the railroad
is about double what it costs to
ship it from the Northwest to

Says It Does Pay
Marshall Grocer Writes His Pa
per of Benefits Reaped from
Advertising Every Week

The following letter written
by merchant to the editor Of
the Lyon County Reporter is one
which speaks for itself. His ex-
perience, after due trial, con-
firms the belief that advertise
ing is an obligation which is due
the merchants patrons, and an
income and not an expense:
Dear Sir: When the year
1916 has rolled around to May
we will have been in the groc-
cry business in Marshall just
twenty years. For twenty years
we have advertised. Not only
in the paper that you are edit
ing, but in other papers as we'll.
Just figure up the usual
amount of space we use each
week and by multiplying it by
1000 you will have approx
imately what we have spent in
your paper alone. It's a sum
that takes your breath, when
you stop to consider that to pay
for these advertisements GER
tain profits must first be made
and then taken from the sales
of a country grocery, where COM
petition is anything but void.
Even facing the competition
Of nine first class grocery stocks
and six establishments handling
grocery specialties, we find that
sales warrant our being able to
advertise and we do. If we skip |
a week it is because we are too
busy to write copy. We confess
that sometimes the amount of
business credited to our adver-
tisements is not enough to pay
for the cost of the ADVERTISE
ment, but by sticking everlast-
ingly at it, the twenty years we
have kept shop here, has brought
us clientele we are proud of.
And we want to tell you that we
are sure that advertising has
brought us its share.
Our advertisement in your pa
per last week, which advertised
a Saturday sale, brought us the
most business we ever received
from a single advertisement.
Not counting city or country or
ders delivered by the customers
themselves; we delivered, by &C
tual count one hundred and
twenty-eight orders. The major
ity of these orders contained
items listed in our ADVERTISE
ment.
We want you to know this so
if you care to, you can tell 9TH
ers-those who hesitate about
advertising in your paper. It will
show them that advertising is
an income and not an expense"
Very respectfullv yours.

Through IN the eleventh year
you are still laying by only a
dime a day, your balance in that
year gains S59.45 over the pre-
vious year instead of the
straight $3.50 your dime a day
comes to. The gain of the twen-
ty-frst year over the twentieth,
still at dime a day, is $98.84
of which you have contrib
uted $3.50, and your savings
have earned 1924.
A dime day would buy a
25-cent gift for 146 poor chill
dren at Christmas.
A dime a day would pay your
fare, second class, to Europe
and back in three years.
A dime a day would start you

A dime a day would buy you
in three years a share Of Penn

6 per cent a year, or a share of
United States Steel preferred
stock paying Z per cent year.
A dime a day, at 5 per cent in
terest, would bring you $40 a
year interest in ten years, $40
a year in sixteen years and $50
a year in twenty-one years.
A dime a day could be saved
by many men through smoking
one cigar less a day.
A dime a day could be saved
by many people through substi-
tuting a movie" show for the
theater once a fortnight or so.
A dime a day could be saved
by lots of us in car fares-and
the walk would do us good.
A dime a day would be saved

I know of one lady who buys

Once cultivate the habit of
saving a dime a day, and ere long
you will want to make it two

would double the totals in the

The Scots-who know some
thing about thrift have an
adage: "Mony Titles max a

In American phrase: Take
care of the cents and the dol
lars will take care of themselves.
How much, think you, would
you have in twenty years did
you save a dime a day and al
low 5 per cent interest to accu-
mulate on it?
Over $1,000!

A dime a day will insure a
lad Of Is for $1,000, a youth of
Fl for $1,86O and a man of 35
for 81, 300, a life insurance ac-
tuary computed for this article.
This premium would carry the
usual participating privileges,
including refund for the re-
duction of future premiums or
an increase in the amount of
insurance.
A dime a day with 5 per cent
interest compounded annually,
would, at the end of five years,
buy two 'baby bonds of the
highest grade which would yield
at least $40 interest every year.
A dime a day, on the same
terms, if saved for your boy or
girl from birth, would give you
over $500 to send the child to
boarding school when II years
old; or $1,000 to start it at COL
lege at 10. At 81 the child's
