PRINTERS INK AND PROSPERITY

Away back in the fourteen hundreds
Johannes Gutenberg conceived the
rather unique idea of transferring
thoughts onto paper by moval types.
He is the father OF the printing bust
| ness.
Since his time civilization has ad-
vanced by leaps and bounds. Prac-
tically every invention of note has
followed this remarkable discovery.
| Prior to printing could well be termed
| as time of darkness. There was
more riot, jealousy and bloodshed in
every square mile of Europe than you
could start by throwing oranges at
a st. Patrick's Day parade.
You see. civilization is determined
not by the extreme advancement of
few, but by the general advance
ment of all. 1t takes the mass of the
people thinking. believing and acting
| in concert to accomplish any worth
while reforms. A few learned scholars
can start the thought, but to succeed
| it must have the response of the
public.
Public thought is controlled by
what the public reads. Enter the
newspaper. Printers ink has done
more to advance civilization than all
other causes combined And in the
advancement of civilization we in
clude everything which is present in
our life today that differentiates from
the folks who lived in Columbus time
and were afraid to venture too far
l - -
earth
What is true of civilization as a
whole is true of the segments which
compose it. To be plain and out
spoken. your prosperity in Delta
County is dependent to a certain de-
gree upon the Delta Independent.
Take this Harvest Number. for in
stance. Think of the impression it
is going to create about Delta County,
your home. Think of the new people
it will attract to this prolific and fer
tile district. Recall the immense
sums which the people in the East
and West are spending to advertise
their industries and cities. Here Is
the publicity magazine of your sec
tion all prepared. ready to send out.
There are 100 people in Delta
County who are not regular sub
scribers to the Independent To them
we address this request. Do you be-
lieve that newspaper which is work
ing as hard as the Independent is for
your interests. for the interests Of
Delta County, is worthy of your sup
port?
| You do? Alright. sign the attached
blank. enter the happy and prosperous
Independent family. and we will all
work together to make a bigger and
better Delta County.

Mrs. Lizzie Lohr is located on a
40-acre tract one and one-eighth miles
from Delta. This year she cultivated
seven acres planted in wheat and
four acres planted in potatoes. She
has four acres of Grimes Golden,

trees, and six acres of apricots.

A rather unusual incident in the
settlement of Palmyra was the estab-
lishment of a small negro colony be-
low Gale hill soon after the earliest
pioneers came to that town. Tradi-
ton SAYS that the negroes were first
brought TO Palmyra as slaves by the
proprietors, but if so, they were soon
set free and took up farms of their
own. Among the names mentioned in
this connection are Seco, Brown, Tay-
lor and Talbert Negroe Seco, as
he has been called. was a well known
character during the early days of the

THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute Tor calomel-are mild but sure
laxatve, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are tn result OF DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calornel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't inJure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel:
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel. Let DR., Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, dizziness" and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take DR. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "logy' and
