Madison Press Company,
]. r. Conway, Publisher.
Dear Sir:
We wish to commend the Madi-
son Press Company for "a job well
done" in the printing and furnish
ing of the ballots for the Nov. 5,
1857 General Election in Madison
County.
Prompt delivery of the ballots
greatly facilitated the work of the
Board of Elections office.
Our sincere thanks to all Madi-
son Press employees, from printer
to proofreaders who had a part in
the undertaking.
We especially appreciate Mr..
Maurice Pernod's courtesy and CO
operation in coping with the many
small problems which consistently
arise in connection with ballots for
the so-called "odd year elections"
when there are numerous candi-
dates and many different type bal
lots.
The efficient manner in which
the ballots were printed and furn-
ished contributed greatly to the
smoothness of Election Day pro-
cedure for Madison County.
Thank You.

anything good to remember for
him.
Actually, he'll admit that he has
enjoyed his government service and
that he's proud to have seen the
post office through it's last days.
He has nursed the post office of
Lilly Chapel until he retired from
service the same day the Lilly
Chapel postmark retires from ser%-
ice. Actually, he has passed the age
for retirement he has in fif-
teen years and he figures he
will live to enjoy the leisure the
lack of official duties will allow
him.
He'll soon get accustomed to the
fact that there's no more mail to
"tie out" and no trains to meet.
There'l be no date changes in the
cancellation stamp &. and no daily
reports. The only service he'll be
doing for Uncle Sam will be as
taxpayer as are the many people
who once made regular calls at the
office.
He'll miss the MANY people who
called for their mail but many
of them traded at the store too -.
and now he'll have more time to
talk of the families and friends
/. and no Government Rush.
Last minute advice: He says
change all addresses now. Lilly
Chapel is no longer your mailing
address. The post office is gone for
ever.

COLUMBUS - (SpeciaD - The
Swine Improvement Association of
Ohio will ask Ohio State Universe

a boar-testing program on a limit
ed basis at the university's swine
evaluation station.
Association members, at their
annual meeting on the university
campus last week. approved a pro-
gram which would include boars
in the production testing operations
being conducted at the station. The
boars would be from the same lit
ter, and in addition to original
pairs (barrows and gilts) now in
cluded in the testing program.
The swine men took other meas
ures to broaden their activities.
They recommended a pilot project
to improve the quality of herds
and individual animals in the pro-
gram. The project would be con-
Quoted on voluntary basis
through a committee of hog breed
ers. The committee would study
remaining hogs (those not tested
in certified litters for uniform
quality, growing abilities, sound

The group also voted to extend
its educational program through
the distribution of posters explain
ing the merits of production test
ing. The poSers would be made
available to livestock m arket
groups, vocational agriculture
teachers, county Extension agents,
and other farm leaders.

A SHOPPER ISN'T THE ANSWER!

The people of Madison County do
not want throw-away advertising.
Residents of this community who
want to read advertising, want TO read
it along with the news Of the commu-
nifty and they're willing to pay for it.
And we believe that it is a CON-
plimenf TO the people of this county TO
have them show good taste in their
reading habits.
Growth of The Madison Press pub
locations during the past year has been
steadily increasing in the face of the
so-called free" publications being re-
ceived in this area.
Circulation figures of the local
newspapers are at an all-time high and
we are very happy about this. This era-
flying reader interest proves conclu-
sively that PAID newspapers are the
best possible buy for any advertiser.
Knowing that the people choose
newspapers first and we tested over
$500 homes over +en-week period :
the Madison Press Company has de-
cided TO abandon the "Shopper's
Guide.
The shopper was unable to fulfill
the function of the hometown news
paper, so il is being dropped. We
learned that our shopper could not
meet expenses within a legitimate
operating budget. It is an economic
fact that free shopper. such as ours,
must be subsidized in order TO succeed
otherwise il must be produced so
cheaply as TO affect its appearance.
reliability and acceptabiIity.,
We found that some people OBJ
iec+ TO their premises being Uttered
with an un-asked-for shopper. In fact.
in some homes. they are plainly un-
welcome.
We are glad that we established
the Shoppers Guide" because during
the Ten weeks that it was published we
received conclusive proof that in and
around London shopper isn't tops in
popularity with either the family or +he
advertiser.
Frankly advertisers don't receive
full value for their investment in a
shopper. although we didn't charge
anything we got no reaction from the
public nor the advertiser A news
paper always brings results just as our
newspapers have done for generations
;. AND A NEWSPAPER IS ALWAYS
AVAILABLE! A newspaper is always
there for you TO read. Bulk unpaid cir
cula+ion, no matter how large. doesn't
bring big results TO advertisers. One
paid newspaper is worth four shop
pers. many advertisers agree.
In addition. most doIIar-conscious
advertisers in the area the food store
chains do not advertise in shoppers
when legitimate newspaper is avail
able. These folks know value and cal
cuIate results. They have used our pub
locations exclusively for years.
Like so many others. the food
chains consider PAID newspaper ad-
vertising TO be good investment, but
free shoppers do not interest them and
do not get their business. Our news
papers reach every reader on the
SAME DAYS each week. They have
become buyers bibles for Madison
County. People BUY the newspaper.
they READ fhe newspaper and they
TRUST the newspaper.

Merchants and North Stars Are Still Unbeaten

Last Friday night the Mer chants and the National Guard North Star teams remained un- beaten after an evening of excit- ing basketball play.
 In the first game the NG-NS team moved out in front of the Western Electric team after the starting whistle and were never threatened thoughout the game.

 For the losers the scorers were Lewis II, Edwards 10, Cole ', Tarr and Taft l.
 The first half of, the second game between the Merchants and the Polar Hornets looked like games played between the two quintets in the past. However, in the second half the Merchants smoothly coordinated attack was felt by the Hornets and the for mer moved out to substantial lead. The Hornets seemed to be having trouble hitting the bucket even tho Tony Willoya took scor- ing honors for the game and for the evening with 18 counters.
 Final score was 51-39, with the Merchants on top.
 Scoring for the victors went H. Bell Is, c. Bell l3, Larsen 12, Sahlin 8, and CastelI 3. For the Hornets point makers were Will loya 18, Herman s, Longley 6, Cumming {, Mogg 3, Richardson 2.
