and the cost is always much more than an advertisement in
their town newspaper. Of course, some of these propositions
must be patronized on account of the good will of prominent
citizens cr perchance, a club or lodge, but their advertising
value is generally nil.
Therefore, when you want to get something before the
public, place it in the newspaper and you will be sure of a re-
turn on your investment, as a good ad is always an investment

The problem of advertising probably presents more per-
plexing angles than any question that comes before the man-
ager of any business for decision, and most of the mediums
presented are of practically no value whatsoever, fully 90 per
cent being worthless.
The most efficient method of advertising and one from
which the most tangible results can be traced is the newspapers.
Newspapers are read faithfully by the majority of our popula-
tion, and we know from experience that they do read the ads.

THE MOST EFFICIENT METHOD
Every man has some power over others that it exercised
without conscious effort on his part. It is a responsibility he
cannot dodge. If'he is a strong man, others will strive to emu-
late his strength. If he is a weak man, others, in passing, will
shudder at the thought of being like him. Both serve the noble
cause of uplift.
In almost every group, organization or community there
is one man who walks his chosen way without thought for the
preferences, opinions and will of others. He is a strong man;
original, dominant, cocksure. If he has looked at the world
and decided against it; if it is his custom to attribute the worst
possible motives to all men; if he is, in short, a cynic, those who
come within his influence are almost certain to find themselves
sneering at mankind and calling the world a failure.
But if this man is a conservative with a well-lined nest
and a conviction that all who advocate change or disturbing)
■of dividends are dangerous cranks who should be deported,
those who associate with him soon learn to use his pet phrases
in denunciation of dreamers and to feel a certain awe of money
in large piles. Therefore, since it is a certainty that the aver-
age man, who lacks a dominating personality, will be remade
after the image of the strong men within whose orbit he moves,
why shouldn’t he exercise what little discretion he has in the
matter and attach himself to men who now are what he would
like to be?—The Franklin Sun.

EXAMPLE
An official of a prominent farm organization, who recent-
ly made a tour of the agricultural regions of the United States,
is said to have expressed surprise after returning from a visit
.to twenty-five states that he found almost no farmers with long
{flowing whiskers. This should have been no great surprise to
la man who keeps in touch with the farmers of America, but a
great many of our people who live in the big cities might find
tout even more surprising things about our rural communities
than this newly discovered whiskerless era.
Farmers no longer wear whiskers for the same reason that
city men no longer wear them—because whiskers are no longer
the fashion. There may have been a time, in our pioneer days,
.when the farmer looked different from the fellow who lived in
town. And he may have been a little more innocent in some
yvays. But that day has gone forever.
Nowadays when the farmer goes to the city he dresses and
acts like the fellow who lives in the city. There are now more
“greenhorns” living in Newr York City, than in the rural por-
tion of the state. The farmer is rapidly becoming a subur-
banite. Good roads, the automobile, the telephone, radio, and
so on are extending the suburbs to all parts of the country. The
farmer now knows better what is going on in the city than the
city man does. In spite of his long hours of toil he has more
time to read and think than the average city man who is con-
stantly struggling for a living.
Nowadays when the city slicker wants to sell the Brooklyn
bridge or the Field Museum to some sucker, he doesn’t pick on a
farmer. He tried out his stuff on some city “greenhorn” who
has never been more than eight or ten blocks from home.—The
Franklin Sun.

”A few years ago, I found
that I was very weak and
nothing I ate seemed to
give me any strength,”
writes Mrs. R. B. Douglas,
704 South Congress St.,
Jackson, Miss.
"I suffered intense pain
in my head and back. At
times I would have to hold
to something to steady my-
self, so as to do my little
work. I was worried about
my condition.
"My mother told ine that
I should take Cardui. After
taking two bottles, I felt
stronger, but I kept on tak-
ing it until my head and
■.< back quit hurting. I took
about six bottles in all,
and have never quit prals
ing Cardui.”
