Farmers Interested
Ohio State Journal Annual Bargain
Offer Attracting Their Attentions;
In Effect Throughout
January

The farmers are very much inter-
ested in The Ohio State Journals
Annual Bargain Offer, which is in
effect throughout the month of Jan
uary.
1t is well established fact that
The Ohio State Journal provides
farmer. Being the only morning
newspaper published in Columbus
or Central Ohio, The Ohio State
Journal has big advantage in sup
plying the rural patrons with the
news first.
The recent death Of President
Harding aptly, illustrates the supe-
riority of The Ohio State Journal
news service. Afternoon papers, dat
ed for the next day, announced (the
day following his death) that the
president was better. On the same
rural mail delivery The Ohio State
Journal reached subscribers with
the announcement of the presidents
death At the hour the pre-dated
papers were sent out the condition
of President Harding was considered
satisfactory, but before the hour for
IbC olllo oidlC JOuI hdA " So "
press, he died. AS a result, Ohio
State Journal rural route patrons
were apprised of President Hard
ing's death "a hours in advance of
those reading the pre-dated papers.
One of the big features of The
Ohio State Journal is the market
page containing the latest grain,
live stock and produce market re-
ports These quotations are de-
pended upon by thousands of farm
ers, who find them necessary in con
nection with their business. The
Associated Press news service, COW
ering the entire world; state news,
Andy Gump, Mutt and Jeff, letters
from our readers, continued stories,
and many other features, all contri-
butte to the making Of this great
newspaper.
The price of The Ohio State Jour
nal is $4 year.
During the period of the bargain
offer an unusually attractive list of
club publications is being offered at
greatly reduced prices. One offer
makes it possible to secure the Ohio
State Journal one year, and either
The Ohio Farmer, National Stock
man or Today's Magazine, for $3.50.
Subscriptions will be accepted at
this office or may be sent direct to
