II hasn't been so very long
since cheap excursions were run
all over the country and they had
the right of way over freight. AS
between o freight train and am ex.
Ieursion train, it certainly seems
THAT common sense would rule in
favor Of the former. Today rail
road men are realizing this and
excursions, while growing fewer,
will give way TO freight trains,
that the necessities of lifc may be
handled more rapidly and. as re.
suit, more cheaply

We've noticed that the fellow

A college professor of Columbus
Ohio, is credited with making the
statement that he is sure the farm
ers of this country are progress
ing at faster rate than ever be-
fore. He said he based this state
ment on the fact that today quite
a few of the farmers who write to
inquire about The college do so on
their own letterheads. and the let
ters are mailed in printed envel-
opes that will insure the letter be-
ing returned to the writer in ease
it is mdeliyered. And this is some
thing for farmers on the Island to
think about. If a printed letter
head bearing the name of your
farm and perhaps the products of
which you make a speciality emu
merated upon il makes am impress
sion upon college professor, is it
not reasonable TO say that it would
put you and your business in a
favorable light with the men to
whom you want to sell something
Farming is a business anal a big
business. Every farmer writes let
tiers, and the printed letter-head
stamps him as a progressive bust
ness man. If printed stationery
did not pay, millions OF business
men would have quit using it long
ago. The News-Reeord Office is
equipped to handle in a satisfac-
tory manner YOUR printing or
ders.
