In every other city of any

printed and other people
read them in the same intens-
i've way. In the great
stretches Of rural communl-
ties the newspapers from the
cities radiate out through the
mail boxes.
North America is literally
bound together and welded
into a continent with COM

Newspaper readers have
come to look on the daily adj
vertising as part of the news.
They turn to their news
paper when they want to
buy, just as they turn to 1t

business at less cost through
the newspaper than through
any other means of contact
with possible customers.
Manufacturers and dis
tributors of trade-marked
goods are also coming to
learn that North America is
a series Of markets-each
differing from the other in
opportunities to sell goods.
Each good market can be
reached by newspaper adj
vertising at low cost and
without wasted effort in bar
rem localities.
For this reason the news
paper has become the great
est medium for national adj
vertising, just as it has al
ways been the greatest me-
dunn for local advertising.
The national advertiser
can best cover this market
or any market through the
newspapers.

FEED LITTLE CHICKS OFTEN
No More Moistened Material Should
Be Given Than Young Fowls Will
Eat Up Clean.

Young chicks should be fed little al
time and often. They should be fed
early In the morning and Just before
going TO bed" at night, and not less
than two times in the intervening
period. For the first two weeks they
may be fed three meals of soft feed
and two of hard, and after that age
two of soft and three of hard feeding
less soft feed as they grow older.
No more mOistened soft feed should
be given at one time than they will eat
up clean. Poultry specialists In the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture say If any feed is left it should be
removed or 1t will grow sour and cause
bowel looseness and dysentery. The
finely cracked grains may safely be
used from the start. but the chicks do
not as rule grow as rapidly as when
part OF the feed is ground. When
the chicks are from four to six weeks
old the frequency Of feeding may be
decreased to three times a day.
From the very first chicks should be
Induced to exercise; activity is a prime
factor in promoting health and
growth. Feed grain In the litter, and
make them scratch for II. A little fine
chaff or finely cut clover makes q good
litter.
