YOUR NEWSPAPER
The Best Possible Mode Of
Advertising'.
If you will look yourself over
arid look your household over you
will find that the things you and
your family wear eat and drink
and ubb for all other purposes are
advertised articles. You bought
tnei. because you saw them adver-
tised. Yon saw them advertised
in your newspaper. The more
you think of it the more you will
be surprised at the few exceptions
to the rule. If you buy articles
because you see them advertised
it is fair to assume that everybody
does. If you buy them because
you saw them advertised in your
newspaper it is fair to assume
that other people make their pur-
. chases for the same reason.
In the face of these facts can
there be any need of argument to
prove that if you have anything
to sell you must advertise it and
that the place to advertise it is in
your newspaper? There are other
advertising methods. Some are
better than others. None is so
good as the newspaper. If you
place a circular for instance in
the homes of a thousand people
and place a newspaper advertise
ment in the homes of another
thousand people the newspaper
will bring far better results than
the circular provided ot. course
the people are of the Rame class
and the advertising matter tells
r the same story in the same way.
This may sonnd like a sweeping
..'Statement but if you will give it a
moment's cohsideration you will
see that it must be so arid why.
People have become accustomed
to looking in the newspapers for
all sorts of information. In 'the
beginning of newspapers people
looked to them only for the news.
Then as the newspapers broad-
ened in their scope they looked
to them for miscellaneous reading
and afterward for good fiction.
When newspaper advertising
arrived at the point where it was
done intelligently and on a con-
siderably large scale people
naturally grew into the habit of
looking to the newspaper for all
kinds of information. This prac-
tice is - now universal. When a
man or woman wants to buy any-
thing for personal or home use
the columns of the newspaper are
at once consulted for intormation
facts and figures. This is not only
natural but it is perfectly proper.
The place to look for news store
news or any other is the news-
paper. Now if your ad is in the
paper it is in the place where peo-
pie expect to find it and where
they look for it. If they are not
interested in what you have to 'of-
fer they do not read your adver-
tisement but can pass it over at a
' glance. You have not intruded
upon them in the slightest. But
when you thrust a circular upon a
man or or family you are in one
sense of the word intruding. You
expect people to drop whatever
tbey are doing and listen to your
tale about your business. They
may want to hear your story and
they may not. If they do well
and good. If they do not they
are apt to throw your circular
aside rather impatiently and to
have at least s slight feeling of
annoyance that does you no good.
The proper plsca to advertise is
unquestionably in the columns of
the newspaper. You can reach
more people in the best manner
and get better results lor your
money in tho columns of a good
newspaper than you can in any
other way. There is no question
at all about this. 1 do not mean to
condemn circular advertising alto-
gether. In some instances it can
be made to do very good work but
it "must be well dono. A cheap
shoddy circular is an insult to
civilized humanity. If circulars
fit into your business have them
handsome striking and well print-
ed. Make them so attractive that
they will counteract any feeling of
annoyance that they might other-
wise cause. Charles Austia Bates

W.C.T. U. Notes.
Our American W. C. T. U. del-
egates to the world's W. C. T. U.
convention at. Edinborough have
been right royally entertained by
lords and ladies of high degree.
They reached London in time to
attend the world's temperance
congress wher.e the world's W.
C. T. U. president Lady Henry
Summerset and our national pres-
ident Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens both
made addresses. The Lord May-
or of London with his wife gave a
reception at which our Mrs. Stev-
ens was chosen to represent the
American women which she did
in a bright little .speech. If the
Londoner's consider her a typical
American woman they will have
a lofty opinion of us for she is a
woman of fine presence fine in-
tellect and fine sympathy. Re-
ceptions were given by Lady Bat-
tersed and others and courtesies
shown by Mr. Cameron M-P..
Hon. Bertrand Russell and others.
Miss Clara Parrish of Missouri
has been the honored one or the
inspiring one of the world's con-
vention. She has just completed
her round the worJd missionary
tour having been to Japan China
Burena India Egypt Palestine
Syria and Italy in each place or-
ganizing encouraging and rein-
forcing the efforts of the mission-
aries bringing them into closer
fellowship and wider usefulness.
She was sent or. this mission of
love by the youag women of Am-
erica; she will return to us now
for a well deserved rest worn in
body but rich in mind and heart
known and loved the world around.
Missouri may jubtly be proud of
her.
Chas. M. Sheldon somewhat ar-
roused the Edinborough papers by
stating that he had seen more
drunkenness in three weeks in
Great Britian than in twelve years
residence in Kansas. M. C. S.
A youDg man began visitig a
young woman and appeared to be
well pleased with her company.
One evening he called when it was
quite late which led the young
lady to enquire where he had been.
"I had to work tonight."
"What! Do you work for a liv-
ing?" she inquired in astonish-
ment. "Certainly" replied the young
man. "I am a mechanic."
"I dislike the name of mechan-
ic" and she turned up her pretty
nose.
This was the last time the
young man visited the young
woman. .He is now a wealthy
man and has one of th best
women in th country for his wile.

Do you dislike the namH of

nothing but well dressed loafers?
We pity any girl who has so little
brains who is so green and soft as
to think less of a young man be-
cause he is a mechanic as the
Son of God himself was. The
girls who despise young men who
work for a living are likely to be
menials to some of them them-

ed their pride and experience has
given common sense. Ex-

The Beneflclent Sprinkler.
Not the least of the many blessings
enjoyed by the peopleof Vinita is the
luxury of well sprinkler! streets.
With the unlimited supply ot clean
artesian water so near by and so ac-
cessible it is comparatively an easy
jobto kee-p. the dust laid Coring these
long hob summer days. The quantity
of dust that nowaccnmuIates as com-
pared with other years when we had
no sprinkler is as nothing. It is
unfortunate that all the public high-
ways of the town cannot bo rendered
dustlessand comfortable in the same
way.
