TOWN JUDGED BY
the NEWSPAPER

Show me some copies of the
paper:published in your town and
| will tell you some facts about it
and your people. /"
The man who said that was an active
business man, who was considering an ex-
psnsive proposition. The information he
wanted was all in issues OF weekly
Newspaper.
He wanted to know about the stocks OF
goods carried by the merchants, to judge
of their business capacity by the style and
amount of advertising they employed-the
paper would show him.
He wanted to know something OF the
social activities OF the town, which the
paper would show him.
He wanted to know something OF the
pursuits of the people in the town and the
condition of the surrounding country
The paper would show him.
He would scan those papers carefully
and would be able to give the information
as he had stated.
He would judge the business prospects
from the advertising columns, OF prospec-
tive selling possibilities by the local hap
peninss, OF the tastes and intelligence of
the people by the reading matter the paper
gives its readers, and whether they were
q progressive, alert or an easy eoins and
comparatively inactive sort.
Your paper tells the story fully to the
active, observant business man, who
never saw your town or its people.
II the town merchants are not all repre-.
sented in its columns it would spell
Little business bad knock for the
town. II the local columns showed
scarcity of news and little Of the social
life il would spell n elarine letters
"Nothip& doing If there was a lack of
hieh.class, up.to.date reading matter on
the livest topics of the times, it would
spell for him-r
The investigation would end and the
town be passed over as not worth con.
sidering.
So then the weekly paper is for 81 times
year showing people who do not reside
in the town just how to judge if it is
business and social center. You can help
your town and its merchants by educating
them to do their part.

Rank Foolishness

You occasionally see it stated that colds
do not result from cold weather. That
is rank fooIishness. We're it true colds
would be as prevalent in midsummer as in
midwinter. The microbe that causes colds
fourishes in damp, cold weather. To get
rid of a cold take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t is effectual and is highly re-
commended by people who have used it
for many years as occasion required, and
know its real value. Obtainable every

ceased raining. They were tracks of
Well-shod horses. Duane Strengthened
up with q cautious glance all around.
His instant decision was to hurry back
to Jennie. But he had come a goodly
way through the thicket. and it was
impossible to rush back. Once or twice
he imagined he heard c%rashings in the
brush, but did not halt to make sure.
Certain he WAS now that some kline of
danger threatened.
Suddenly there came an unmistaltable
thump Of horses hoofs off somewhere
TO the fore. Then a scream rent the air.
1T ended abruptly. Duane leaped for

brake. He heard Jennie cry again-an
appealing call quickly hushed. 1t SEEM

smoldering fire and ground covered
with footprints and tracks showed that
campers had lately been. Rushing
across this. he broke his passage out to
the open. But he was too late. His horse
had disappeared. Jennie was gone.
There were no riders in sight. There
was no sound There was a heavy trail
of horses going north. Jennie had been
carried off-probably by outlaws.
Duane realized that pursuit was out OF
the question-that Jennie was lost.

AS a result OF the shortage Of dye
stuffs caused by the war, the market
for a Porto Rican product known as
annatto-the seeds of a tree yielding a
yellow coloring materials suddenlys
increased greatly. Before the war there
was little demand for it. but in view of
the fact that it may be used as a sub
stitute for the regular dyestuffs now
lacking, the exports Of annatto from.
Porto Rico have risen by leaps and.
bounds in quantity and value. Whereas,
in ordinary times annatto sold as low
as 81 and SIS per 100 pounds, it nov.
commands as muc as $15 for the same
quantity. -
The annatt tree grows wild and the
collection of the seeds is a source of.
income to numerous country folk. The
seeds are used for coloring silk, cotton,
wool, confectionery. butter. cheese,
sauces. varnishes, lacquer, etc. The.
local Porto Rican name for the pro-.
duct is "achiote."

After nearly six months in the
Nueces gorge the loneliness and mac
ton of his life drove Duane out upon
the trails seeking anything rather than
scourage of his thoughts. The moment
he rode into sight of men a remarkable
transformation occurred in him. A
strange warmth stirred in him-a long
ing to see the faces Of people, to hear
their Voices-a ~pleasurable motion
precursor of his old bitter, %sleepless,
and eternal vigilance. When he hid
alone in the brakes he was safe from
all except his deeper, better self; when
he escaped from this into the haunts
OF men his force and will went to the
preservation of his life.
Mercer was the first village he rode
into. He had many friends there. Mer-
Ger claimed to Owe Duane a debt. On
the outskirts of the village there was a
grave overgrown by brush so that the
rude lettered post which marked it was
scarcely visible to Duane as he rods
by. He had never read the inscription.
But he thought now OF Hardin, no
other than the ertswhile ally of Bland.
FOL many years Hardin had harassed
the stockmen n ranchers in and
around Mercer. On an evil day for him
ne or his outlaws a beaten and rob-
bed a man who nee succored Duane
When sore In need. Duane met Hardin
IN the little plaza Of the village, called
MIN every name known to border men,
haunted him to draw, and killed him
In the act.
Duane went to the house of one
n a Texan who had known his
father. n there he was warmly re-
ceived. The feel of an honest hand, the
voice Of a friend, the prattle Of children
who were not afraid of him or his gun,
good wholesome food, and change Of
/ Cl0InaQ-fhQQo fhinA0 f0,, tha t3voo h4-
ing made a changed man Of Duane. To
be sure. he did not often speak. The
price Of his head and the weight of his
burden made him silent. But eagerly
he drank in all the news that was told
him.. In the years Of his absence from
his mother or uncle. Those who were
his real friends o N the border would
: have been the last to make inquiries,
to write or receive letters hat might
give a clue to Duane's whereabouts.
Duane remained all day with this
hospitable Jones, ana as twilight fell
was loath to go n yielded to a press
ing invitation to remain overnight. 1t
was seldom indeed that Duane slept
under a ROOT. Early in the evening,
while Duane sat on the porch with two
awed and hero-worshiping sons of the
house. Jones returned from a quick
visit down to the postoffice. Summar-
lily he sent the boys off. He labored
under intense excitement.
Duane, there's rangers In town" he
whispered. It's all over town. too, that
you're here. You rode in long after
