20, do not pray for easier lives
pray to be stronger men. Do not pray

WORTH THINKING ABOUT.
SOME PEOPLE think
ADVERTISING is simply
SPENDING MONEY
BUT THE wise man knows
IT'S THE surest way to make more.
THE ONLY problem is
WHAT MEDIUM to use.
CIRCULARS and hand-bills
COST A LOT Of money
BUT YOU give them away
so NOBODY wants them
ON THEIR front porches
NOR IN their morning mail.
THE SUBSCRIBER
PAYS REAL money
FOR HIS newspaper
AND THAT'S why he values it
MORE HIGHLY
THAN A circular.
HE BRINGS his paper home
so THAT every member
OF THE family
CAN READ and enjoy it's
BREEZY. o-the-minute news
AND PROFIT by needing
THE HOMETOWN merchants
BID FOR their trade.
AND THAT good reason
FOR ADVERTISING
IN A newspaper.
AND NOT only that
BUT
THE MERCHANT using hand-bills
AND CIRCULARS hopes
FOR TEN readers
TO THE hundred bills,
IF WILLIE delivered the 100.
WHEREAS the newspaper advertiser
is SURE of at least
FOUR READERS to
EVERY COPY of the paper
AND THEY all read and heed
HIS ADS.
AND THAT'S why he
LOOKS pleasant
AND GROWS fat in the
BANK ACCOUNT.

shall enforce the act.
The question involved is whether
or not il is intended that State ana
local officers shall aid in the enforce

any officer of the law" includes
everybody, from the Chief of the Sc

constable OF a township in any state.
One OF the first rulings sought Will
be on this subject.
II is estimated that each State Will
have to have a StGte supervisor oil

than $1,000. Each supervisor Will
have from 10 to 200 men under him.
Special provision will be made toI
