TO OUR FRIENDS
BOTH OLD AND NEW

Mr.. Walter d. Campbell of Ches-
terfield, has been engaged by the Ad-
vertiser circulation department and is
authorized to collect subscription ac-
counts and to accept new subscrip-
tions for this paper.
Mr.. Campbell will travel through
out the country in the interest of this
publication and those in arrears are
asked to settle promptly when called
upon.
Mr.. Campbell will also take sub
scriptions for the Progressive Farm
er. The price of the Progressive Far
mer is $1.OO per year. The Adver-
tiser is $1.50. Both papers may be
had for 1925 per year. This rate ap-
plies both to new subscribers and
those renewing their subscriptions to
the Advertiser.
The Advertiser makes this reduc-
| tion with the sole idea of encourag-
| ing better farming, knowing that the
man who takes the Progressive Farm
er will improve in his work, will pro-
ducc better crops and make more
money, thus becoming of greater
worth to his community and country.
We have also arranged with the J.
p. Rawley Map Company, of Chica,
go, who have recently published two
new maps, one of the world as chang.
ed by the war and one of the United
States, to furnish our readers with
these new maps at trifing cost.
| Rawley's New Maps are just off the
press and are the most complete and
up-to-date maps published in the
world. They are 25 by 40 inches, arc
reversible, with appliances for hang
ing on the wall Besides the map.
they contain photographs of tn,
Presidents of the United States from
George Washington to Woodrow Viii
son, with the date of the terms of of
flee on each. On the reverse side ar,
colored plates of the flags Of all ma
tionS, the rulers of every country
with their populations.
There is also printed on this MAJ
IA history Of the Bible, containing
many facts that everyone Shoul,
know, but that few are acquainted
with.
The price Of this map, if bough
from the publishers or from bool
store, is $500. The Advertiser will
furnish its readers, either old or nc>
subscribers, with the $500 map and
years subscription to this paper fo
the price of the map alone, $500.
Mr.. Campbell will show the map
to those interested and they may ais,
be seen at the Advertiser office.
So as to be perfectly fair with al
our readers, those whose subscription
are already year or thercbouts il
advance may have the maps by payin,
80 cents.

grave and see the kind of reception
woman suffrage gets today in leeis-
latVe halls and political corridors.
Eead the reports from Delaware. The
matter has grown serious. There are
two determined lobbies of women at
work for suffrage in Delaware and
one against it. Every man who packs
ms suitcase at the Hotel Richardson
runs gauntlet. He is in the prec-
ence Of menace. There isn't short
haired woman at any desk or table.
The Carrie Chapman Gait faction or
the Alice Paul fiction is as much TO le
rech"Hci with rs tie Irish vote The
I"rr,aE vote, thc negro vote or any-
."naE e!@e that used to affect the
n.rvej Of Delaware politicians in the
Addicks days. These are great days
ior the woman suffragists. 1t is to be
hoped that they do not forget their
pioneers.

CONGRESS AS A TIME SAVER

That Congress can do some very
stupid things is not mems bit that it
can be actually childish when posing
as a time saver is shown by this Incl
dent:
A member wanted to read tele-
gram that would occupy about one
minute. On objection to the reading
forty-five minutes were spent in dis
cusSon before the telegram could be
read.

SHAKE HANDS WITH STATS

'Slats' is a nickname. Nevcrmind
what his real name is, he is known
throughout the country as "Slats" and
that is the way we shall know him.
Stats is a boy; a real boy. He keeps
diary. The Advertiser has arrang-
ed to publish this diary from time to
time.

which will continue the handling of
the business as a single unit, for the
time being at least. A statement to
this effect was made today by Agent
Il. Il, Abbott in charge OF tho local
express offices, In urging shippers
to be patient and to lend their CO.
operation in lettering the express
service.
Now that the American Railway
Express Company is operating I'M
der its own management" said Agent
Abbott, I'VE are gradually returning
to normal conditions and are intro
ducing a great many changes In
methods which we expect will, with
in a reasonable time, show results
very satisfactory to shippers.
I'VE have already accomplished
much since the time OF the merger
in 1918. and the service Is generally
considered good. But we do not say
it can not be improved and that is
our aim. Yet we can not promise i'm
mediate Improvement, owing TO the
unsettled conditions that have to be
faced during the period OF readJust-
ment. With the improvement Of the
railroad service and with more facil-
tiles in cars and terminals, we be-
lieve that we can show great pro-
gress In this direction.
1T Is out OF the question to con-
slider what some people call the 'un-
scrambling' Of the American Rail-
way Express without greatly unset
Ting the whole express business and
doing more harm than good to the,
shipping public. The present COM
pany is an organization that took
over the business Of the seven for
merry separate companies and con-
solidated their working forces into a
unified operating agency of 100000
men.
I'VE have consolidated the rout-
ing Of freight SO that 1t is now on
a national basis, giving shippers the
most direct railroad routes available
for the handling of their BUSINESS
The centralized management has
made possible the introduction Of
standardized and improved methods

inc New Location.
Because Of the difficulty In secur-
ing experienced directory help, the
work Of compiling the new Mar
shalltown directory has progressed
more slowly than in former years
and many families have moved since
the work was begun. If you have
changed your residence in the past
thirty days send your name to the
Pettibone Directory Company, city,
giving both CID and new addresses.
1t Is the desire of the company. as
well as of all citizens, that the d.
rectory be correct in every detail and
TO make it so the cooperation Of the
public is sought in this matter. See
that you are in the directory and
that your address is correct. This
may not seem important to you now,
but it Is very important to the BUSH
ness man who uses directory every
day and it may be important to you
to have the correct address after
your name.
The Pettibone company Is making
every effort to check the names and
correct addresses but to prevent any
one being missed it asks that all who
have moved in thirty days notify
the company at once. The directory
will be out in June.

Dutch Adopting
u. S. School n
Inspection Rule

European schools are adopting prin-
cipals of American institutions in re-
CARDS to the health of pupils.
This fact is verified by the report
recently submitted by school authori-
ties in this city regarding the inspec-
ton of 10000 children of the Neither
lands by members of the National Den
tai Association, assisted by the Green
Cross Society. Of the 10000 children
examined, 80 per cent of them showed
defective teeth.
This percentage is about 10 per cent
worse than the average in local
schools. The children of the Neither
lands are to be treated by American
dentists. School boards there are
planning to raise sufficient amount
of money through taxes to enable the
dentists to go ahead with their move
ment.
Inspection of eyes has already been
instigated by American doctors, inter.
ested in school movements over there.

Retail Markets

Farmers retail markets are not
popular in New Jersey, or at least they
are not common, and they are thought
by many to be impractieable. At Perth
Amboy, NJ j., is a market which utter
ly refutes the idea in many ways. In
1909 the city authorities set aside a
street and an adjoining open lot as a
market place. Farmers were encour-
aged to display their goods in small
quantities and the people of the CITY
came to learn that that they could do
their marketing there at less cost than
anywhere else It is not unusual to fin !
over one hundred farmers wagons lii
the market place at one time. Such
markets as this are very common IL
many of the cities of Pennsylvania
and in other sections of the country,
They offer certain very definite ad'
vantages to the thoughtful housewife.
In the first place, she is able to buy
her goods in the best possible coz
dition, and by attending the market
and personally selecting her goods she
can pick out just the kind and quality
she desires and be sure of getting full
value for her money. BY paying cash
and carrying the goods home she saves
the greater part of the extra charge

Wireless for LifeboatS

However well equipped with wire
less a ship may be, an accident that
results in its sinking puts an end to
it's distress signals and may not even
allow time to begin them, leaving its
hurriedly manned lifeboats without
any means of communication with
each other or with a rescue ship. An
Eastern inventor has designed sim
il pie and compact radio system intended
as permanent equipment for one or
more lifeboats on each vessel, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
wireless apparatus, used for both tele-
graphing and telephoning, is inclosed
in water-tight box at the stern, and
grounded through a metal plate in the
bottom of the boat. To shut out ex-
traneous sounds and add to the SEN
sitiveness of the set, the operator is
equipped with helmet containing the
telephone receiver.
