EDITOR THOT DINNER
WAS WANT AID. GIFT

1t is so common to have Want Ad.
patrons call and express their APP
probation of results attained from
these little notices that it is no
wonder the following incident occur
red:
A patron of the Want Ads. in the
newspaper of a neighboring town
called up the editor to inform him
that the recent pounltry sale notice
brought splendid results, and that
the poultryman intended to show his
appreciation more fully than the
mere trifing cost of the ad.
Therefore when, a few days later,
the editor received by parcel post o
fine, large chicken, he took it home
and enjoyed it at dinner.
The following day he received this
letter:
"Dear Editor: Yesterday I sent
you a chicken in order to settle dis
pute with the hired man. Will you
have your city school chemist find
out what the chicken died of?
P. ST. am sending you some fin
cheese in appreciation for the re-
suits Of my Want Ad., and for help
ing us out in this discussion about
the dead chicken. We intended to
send you a chicken, but our ad. sold
all except the one that died on us. !"
So, weIl be perfectly content if
you merely send in the ad., with 25c
for a single insertion, or SOC for
three consecutive insertions-and
neither Of us will be taking any
chances.
