The Telephone Pole Ad IS A THING OF THE PAST In the old days when every farmer drove the plow-horse to town, he had time to amble along and read the sale bills on the way. Now, the average farmer has his eyes glued to the road while driving his six cylinder car, and the telephone poles fly by like pickets on a fence. Newspaper advertising is just as far ahead of the telephone pole bill as the auto is ahead of the horse.. Both are necessary and do good work. But the Newspaper, like the auto, gets more done quicker. The Newspaper is taken into the home and read at leisure. It is originally purchased because its individual newsiness appeals, and the reader has confidence in it. This confidence is reflected on the ads that the newspaper carries and the advertisers get the benefit of this feeling of dependability. An ad in this paper is bound to bring results. We will help you prepare it. Let us prove to you the value of newspaper advertising. WE HAVE ALL KINDS OF CUTS Decatur Daily Democrat The County Daily.

I want to be able, as days go by. Always to look myself straight in the eye: I do not want to stand, with the setting sun, And hate myself for things I’ve done. f don't want to keep on a closet shelf A lot of secrets about myself, And fool myself, as I come and go, Into thinking that nobody else will I know The kind of a man 1 really am; i don’t want to dress up myself in sham. J want to go out with my head erect, I want to deserve all men’s respect; But here in the struggle for fame and self I want to be able to like myself. I don’t want to look at myself and | know That I’m blußter and bluff and empty show. —Anon,. I $ —$ —$ —WANT ADS EARN—

How Did They Do It? DO you ever wonder how the ancient folk got along without the comforts and conveniences of today? Without window-glass, without tooth brushes, without automobiles, without soap, without telephones, breakfast foods, stoves, and virtually all the items we consider bare necessities of life. And have you ever wondered at the part advertising has played in the world’s development? It has made and is making the world better housed, better fed, better dressed. It has increased the world’s capacity for things that elevate, improve and idealize the important business of living. It is a big, vital force in fostering convenient and comfortable life. Home! Can you imagine your own empty of advertised products? Advertising is an authentic and essential guide to the markets of the world. Without its direction you lose much, and overlook much. Don’t fail to read the advertisements you find in this newspaper. Follow their guidance. They will prove invaluable to you

Herding sheep by airplane was the experience of an Australian explorer. During the trip over North Queensland the airman was offered the task of round up two large scattered flocks of sheep. He swept his plane around the outskirts of the flock and collecting all the stragglers, drove them all together toward the paddock. The job was done quickly and without any great efTort.
