Miles and Minutes

INHE Atlantic cable is approximately $500 miles
j. long. Yet to the newspapers London is only
few minutes from New York Your paper tells you
about happenings in the Old World within few hours
of their occurrence For newspaper enterprise has
reduced those miles to minutes
How far back would go without newspapers! We
would remain in ignorance, not only of events at home
and abroad-but also of much that concerns us even
more vally-news of the things that have to do with
our personal, everyday lives
Every day new things appear-new products that save
time labor and money are introduced-new comforts.
new conveniences and new ideas are continually being
worked out and offered for your benefit
The advertisements bring you news of all this prog
ress They tell you all about these things where to get
Them how to get them and how much to pay for Them
The advertisements are daily directories to wise
buying.
Read the advertisements Protect yourself in your
buying by getting the products which have proved
their worth by making good under the spotlight of
consistent publicity

lied that someone below there in the

there was some method in the manner
in which it was manipulated.

They were flashing the light again

After Ten Years
HUMPHREY PROTESTS
BY MARION RUBINcAM

SndplcI ~
Once the novelty of her arrival had
worn off, Patty was accepted without
comment by her old friends in Wisake-
agan. She belonged to what the local
paper referred to whenever possible as
"the younger set" Every party, no
matter how unpretentious, was duly re-
ported with many adjectives, and
strung out to cover as much space
as possible. Social items we're hard
enough for the local editor to procure
Everyone had to know about Patty's
trip. Everyone had to see and com
ment upon her new dresses. After
that she settled down as though she
had never been away
She had little mannerisms little
tricks of speech, acquired while she
was away, which she used now un
! consciously. They stamped her as
different from the other people in the
, town. But she was so sweet in hel
manner that this difference, otherwise

Mile, in fact, admired these little
differences enormously, and wished
she dared copy them But her COM

figures. a line carrying 10 tele-
phones could he built at cost OF
