Civil War thousands of families be-
came dependent on newspapers for
the first time in their lives. For the
first time they learned that far-away
events really are not far away. The
guns of Gettysburg shook the re-
hottest home; and towns two thousand
miles from the sea waited breathleSs
for tidings from Mobile Bay.
So generation lived and learned
and died; and new generation stood
in its place.
And in 1914, in town whose name
we could hardly pronounce, a prince
and his consort were shot to death.
Merely one more murder in distant
land: turn over the page; it means
nothing to us.
Nothing?
Nothing, except to take two million
of our sons three thousand miles to
Flanders Fields.
Nothing, except to double or treble
the price Of everything we eat and
wear.
Nothing, except to throw into dis
array all the processes Of our business
life.
Out of our calm isolation we woke
to the fact that the world has shrunk
to a neighborhood. There are no
mere far-of events. Whatever
happens anywhere happens to us.

Literary Digest is to them what the
old desk drawer was to Lincoln-a
magnet that draws with vital force
because its contents are vital
There are great tides in the affairs
Of men which sweep institutions for
ward or hurl them back. In the grip
Of such tide The Literary Digest is
being lifted day by day, week by week,
month by month to increased circu-
lation.
Consistent national advertising
accentuates the lift; and The Literary
Digest continues its advertising.
But the tide is not dependent upon
advertising for its direction and force;
its currents run deep in the under
lying conditions Of present day life.
In the knitting together Of the world
into neighborhood; in the insistent
need Of larger and larger number
Of households for worldwide infor-
nation because the very livelihood
of those households is influenced
By WORLDLY wide events.
Those manufacturers who yoke
their businesses to the growth of The
Literary Digest by advertising in its
pages are enlsting force wider and
deeper than circulation figures can
portray.
They are linking their
progress irresistibly to the
very spirit Of the times.

'NewsI" is intelligent Americas
cry. Give us accurate, immediate,
worldwide newsl Sift it; condense
it; interpret it without color or bias
for use in our busy lives"
For thirty years one publication,
and only one, The Literary Digest
had been building itself to satisfy that
demand
From 34e, $50 copies in 1914 it has
been carried by its indispensable serv-
ice and uninterrupted advertising to
a circulation of 1900, 900 and more.
The circulation will be larger this
summer than in any previous sum-
mer; it will be larger this fall than in
any previous fall. And The Literary
Digest continues its advertising.
Each week more thoughtful men
and women learn
where every important dispatch is in-
terpreted for them;
where the opinions Of every great
newspaper; Of every live trade, agri-
cultural and business publication from
every State in the Union and every
country in the world will be recorded;
where every significant bank bulletin
and Government report are condensed
and explained.

GET READY FOR THE BIG
RAINS THAT ARE COMING

1t may seem strange that one
should be so foolish as to predict rain
at this time, since II seems that the
whole country is as dry as bone, but
we must remember that rains always
come after dry spells. The News had
wondered, what had become OF the
weather man OF this country, but in
the columns OF the Vernon Record
this week we learned of his where
abouts, and what is OF vastly more
importance to the people of this
country, his prediction Of big rains
In this month. The weather man TO
whom we have reference is already in
the minds OF those readers OF these
lines who have for tweny years watch
cd his predictions come true, and
they know that w. p. Banta has hit
II more often than he has missed In
predicting rain for West Texas. Ac-
cordlng TO the Record this is what
Banta says.
w. p. Banta. former weather seer
of Vernon and now resident OF La
mesa. has written j. d. Summerour
OF Vernon that local resident may
prepare for wet, cold month during
November. And furthermore. it may
be noted. those who are we'll ac-
quainted with the prophet and his
foretellings, are already searching
closets for slickers and overcoats.
Mr.. Banta lived in this vicinity 30
years. and his predictions on the
weather became a byword with his
contemporaries. He Just doesn't
miss it, as the old times say.
November will be a wet cold

O'Clock and took in the sights Of the
fair until the noon hours. At one
o'clock they met with Snyder Cham
Der OF Commerce and discussed the
best ways to get our town on the map
and advertise our highway. II was
finally decided, after a number OF
takers made addresses. to put signs
along the route directing the public
this way.
The auto traffic through the coun-
try is immense and will continue to
grow each year and we are not get
ting our share OF the travel simply
because we have not advertised our
highway.
These signs are to be put up at
once and its up to us to keep our
road In shape.
On the whole the meeting was ben
eflcial, in that II made us better ac-
quainted with each others needs and
made us feel more like cooperating
with each other for the betterment OF
cur great country
The Fair was a nice one for the
first and will no doubt be an incen-
tive to Snyder and Scurry county
people to make their next one bet
ter and bigger one.
There is nothing in our opinion
that advertises and helps a town and
county more than a County Fair.
Let's bear this in mind and begin
now to pull off better fair than ever
in CARA County next year.
Our fair this year was a humding-
er and will be hard to beat, but we
can do 1t If we begin in time Post

Sailors Long Period Of Loneliness on
Small Island Located In the

Narrowing occasionally brings about
a modern Crusoe; just as it did with
Alexander Selkirk, who was put ashore
at Juan Fernandez, and whose adyen-
lures gave DefOe the foundation for
''Robinson Crusoe." The trading
schooner, Queen Charlotte, passing a
small island Of the Marquesas in the
South seas, landed her boat to investi-
gate the smoke of fire, as it was un-
derstood the island was uninhablted.
Here was found a United States sea-
man, who had been put ashore with
three shipmates by their captain, on
account, of their mutinous conduct.
The three others had died, but the
man from Connecticut had contrived to
live on the FISH he caught and the
breadfruIt and coconuts and other prod
ucts which he could gather. When
rescued after three years loneliness,
his utensils consisted Of great shells,
and two cups which he possessed,
made from the skulls Of his GEM
