A century ago the leading merchants resorted to what is now the classified ad and the modern display ad was unknown. The store which a century ago purchased newspaper advertising in quantities of a half dozen lines weekly now contracts for one and two pages daily and the landlady advertising for a roomer or a young ady seeking a lost eat consumes more space in the newspaper of today than the most thriving merchant of yesterday. As in quantity, so has advertising had an evolution of quality. Within the shopping memory of the present generation the advertisement, both nt wspaper and magazine, lias risen from a reijition of articles and prices to attractive displays artistically phrased, graphically illustrated and in the case of magazines often beautifully lithographed. The modern advertisement is not a narration of goods and prices; it is storehouse of information about buying, styes, thrift and economy. The public once complained of spending a penyy for <! f < a newspaper and getting 50 per cent, more or less, of its paper in advertising. No* magazines are purchased by many for their advertisements alone, ami as for the newspaper, the advertisements form an important part of the day's reading.

The following paragraphs, selected from an advertisement of a Los Angeles furniture merchant, provide a 1 specimen of the artistry which can 1 I" lx*found in modern advertising. The advertiser is not unmindful of nor utt- ' grateful for prevailing public interest 1 in the advertisement, truthfully and attractive, such as this: a ‘'Homo weaves Hie fabric of our c lives. It is the loom for the tapestry > i of our days That the fabric may be . rich in color, gracious in texture, dis- ( tinguished in design, the warp and weft must need be skilfully employed. , "If we would weave ottr existence , from end to end. margin to margin, ( into a tapestry of happiness and high | accomplishment we must employ within our homes the things which make for successful living." j ( Hoover and Curtis were elected ( yesterday.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Walla Walla. Wash., Jan 3 ~~ (UP)- Mayor McCroskey of Wall* Walla, has received a letter from ex-mayor Taitsick asking compensn tlon as he was deafened in 191° when H. Whltkeer blew the fire whistle so loudly that It deafened him. ment other than the promise to return into the business of providing you a better newspaper always, every penny we can. A Convoy. Ohio, man has sprung a brand new one. Though he can't

read or write he is a check eheater. Going into a store he would make a purchase, explain to the clerk that he couldn’t read or write and then have the clerk write out a check for .more than the amount of the purchase and make his mark. Guess if a fellow wants to be crooked there is always away. Most folks are opposed to capital punishment until a crime is committed which hits home and is so cruel as to make every one feel that death is too good for the perpetrator, as was true in the Hickman case. A campaign is on to change the law in Indiana but there will be much opposition. In one column we read that the recent New Years eve celebration was the wettest since 1918 and in another that the prohibition enforcement officers feel that the nation lias turned to soft drinks and that from now on control of the situation is in their hands. Both can't he bright, can t hey ? The government lias found some thing else that Albert Fall did and lie is to go on trial again. Seems to us he had already been charged with every thing on the calendar. What's the use? Guilty or not guilty there will probably be some Haw in the proceedure some where down the line. Perhaps Mr. Hoover is retiring at ten o'clock each evening, and he did Wen on New Yeais eve, because he feels the time is not far distant when he will lose a lot of rest. The first year in the White House is said to be a rather bothersome one for the chief executive.

Perhaps after all, that Mrs. Miller who reared eight children before being sent up for life for violation of 1 the prohibition laws, is getting more rest at the Detroit house of correction than she ever got at home, you never can tell. We are certa'nly out of the horse and buggy age. A company which operates a trans-continenial bus line is now arranging sleeping car busses, in which you may find as snug a berth as in the finest Pullman. Just when the flu epidemic seems Io have reached its crest, comes a warning from Washington tiial a second one is starling and that it may be more serious than the first. Wondei how Santa Claus likes the installment credit plan which so many folks used on him? Os course he doesn’t have much to say about it but he probably has an opinion it we could get him to express it. You have 350 days now in which to do your Christmas shopping. Better si art early. Something may come up to delay you again if you wait until the middle of next December. If your resolutions have been faithfully kept three days, hang on to them. Thais a sure sign you have them whipped. Many cities in southern California are alarmed over lhe water shortage and fear a complete famine. They might try bootlegging. o Card of Thanks We wish lo express our thanks Io the friends f r their acts of kindm-ss, . messages o f consolation and flowers; . to Mrs. Jans for the beafitiful songs, to lhe American Legion of Bluffton for their part in the service, and to Reverend O. H. Scherry. for his words of cohsolatlon. Mrs. Fred Reppert and family

If you mean to profit, learn to please. "T ; be fifty years young is for mare hopeful and chereful than t obe twenty years old.” "Never count a man's years until he has nothing else to count." Ate you feeling blue? shake it, life is what you make it. A pessimist is all right in his place but the trouble is he never gets there till he dies. ::D n’t Worry if your job is small, FINOS RELIEF IN SINGLE BOTTLE OF NEW KONJOLA
