BY Heck Keeps q Secret.
When Sheriff Tom Flowers and the
others had been gone for half an hour,
Elizabeth Littleford sat up In the ST.
lence. It was great and heavy silence
that lowered there over the north end
Of David Moreland's mountain. There
was not even the drumming Of yel-
lowhammer, not even the saucy chat
tering Of boomer squirrel, not even
the twittering Of bird. Not leaf
stirred anywhere. Everything seemed
lifeless. II was almost as though she
were the sole inhabitant Of the world.
Then she thought. It was noontime.
and the officer and his prisoner would
doubtless halt at John Moreland's
cabin for the MONDAY meal: and II
she hastened she would get to see Bill
Dale again.
So she ran like q doe through the
green woodland. through the tangle Of
laurel and ivy and over the moss
covered stones. across q shoulder Of
David MOreland's mountain. She was
barefooted. and, her dress was q sim
pie garment II whlte-dotted blue
calics. and her bog brown hair howed
behind her ike the hair Of young
s1tch--becauss 0f the excitement Of
the msrpins. she had fergotten to give
It its usual daily plating. 81 ,5
A. she drew near to the Norslsnd
leaders home, she saw Bill Dale and
the sheriff walk out at the gateway
and mount their horses. Major Brad
ley came out, and he. too. mounted .hii
horse; and she was glad that he wal
going along. There was a great crowd

The average increase in our subscrip.
tion list for the past two years and nine
months have been more than six hun.
dred per year. That is, we have added
more than six hundred new subscribers
and held them-each year, and we
believe that this is much better than
the average in country newspaper ex'
perience. Still, we plan to make the
increase greater for the next year
and we are relying upon the good will
and cooperation of our readers to dc
that. We will fully outline our week
drive later and will hope to enlist the
aid of every subscriber in the work.

There is no class of publication
that can take the place of the local pa.
per. 1t tells of the intimate things in
the lives of the local people. It deals
with the facts with which they are
a part. They do read the dailies and
tha magazines but the paper of most
interest TO them is the local paper
They know the people whose activities
are chroniclcd and it holds a place in
their hearts that can be supplied by
no other publication. 1t is for this
reason that the eyes of the national
advertisers have been turned to the
local newspaper as the greatest sell
ing power in America.

TO OUR FRIENDS.

All over the whole United States
there will he subscription rally fol
country newspapers during the week
beginning November and ending Nov
ember II. Sixty million people are
reached by the country weekly who
can be reached by no other papers. The
national advertisers are realizing that
the great selling power lies not in the
dailics and magazines, but the country
newspapers. And realizing this fac
they are placing advertising contract!
with the newspapers of the better kint
all over the nation.

The business is still gradually grew.
ing. Our subscription list Is growing
at rate that is encouraging. No pre-.
miums or contests have been put on
to stimulate the growth of our list
Merit alone has been the motto, and
we rarely lose a subscriber once he is
on our lists. But we are planning to
make a drive for subscriptions during
the week above mentioned. Just what
form that plan will take we have not
decided. 1t will not be In the form of
a contest, for we believe that any con.
test Injuries a newspaper. We want
to arrange to let hwat ever benefits the
plan carries go to the subscriber. This
article is but the forewOrd of the plan
that is yet incomplete. We want yOr
to get in mind that during the week
we will ask your cO-oreration in max.

more than $1,000,000,000 every year
