ELIMINATE TYPESETTING BY REPRODUCING COPY.

Elimination of typesetting, one of the costliest articles—-of—magaXine-production, by the use of plates made by photographing the original typewritten copy, has been accomplished in the Oct. 18 issue qf the Literary Digest, consisting of eighty pages. This radical innovation was brought about by the printers’ strike in New York and leads the publishers .tCL-zSUggest that it is possible in this age of marvels that the whole future of magazine production may be revolutionized by the elimination of typesetting. , The make-up of the magazine is in no way changed, the only difference being that the style of the type is that used on typewriters and is uniform in ajl the reading matter throughout the number. The right hand side of each column is irregular as in ordinary type-written copy. Each page is in effect a photographic copy of the original article as written on the typewriter.

WHY IT SUCCEEDS.

Because It’s For One Thing Only, and Rensselaer People Appreciate This. Nothing can be good for everything. Doing one thing well brings success. ' Doan’s Kidney Pills are for one thing only For weak or disordered kidneys. Here is Rensselaer evidence to prove their worth. C. B. Steward, insurance agent, S. Front and Main Sts., says: “I had been subject to serious attacks of kidney disorder. My back for a long time was lame and sore and I was hardly ever free from headache. Whenever I feel any signs of that trouble now, or my Jkidneys don’t right. I get a box of Doan’S Kidney Pills at Long’s drug store. They quickly fix me up all right.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Steward had. Foster-Mil-burn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

FRIDAY Corine Griffith “Clutch of Circumstances” Drama

THIRD ANNUAL SHOW OPENS

COLD AND GLOOMY WEATHER GREETED STOCK OWNERS ON OPENING DAY. The third annual Jasper countylivestock show opened this Thursday morning and will continue throughout the remainder of the week. Cold and gloomy weather prevailed but failed to dampen the ardor of Secretary Van Hook and his aides. All doubt as to the success of the show was dispelled .at an early hour when stock breeders from all over the county began to arrive with their/ precious cargos of blue-ribbon bidders. A great deal of enthusiasm -was manifested by the owners of the stock and all filled out their entry blanks eagerly and made all necessary preparations in conformity with the rules laid down by those in charge of the show that there might not be a single thing of a disqualifying nature arise which would eliminate them as entrants. The Leek hitch barn and a large show tent on the vacant lot just south of the barn are housing the animals and the only fear felt is that there will be a shortage of space to care for the large list of entrants. However, means will be provided in some way or other to care for all stock and no breeder need fear disappointment along this line. .. _ - - '. • . g Many pens are already on exhibition and include those of prominent Newton and Pulaski county breeders, and the indications are that the competition in the various classes will be extremely keen. Such shows are of a great benefit to all farmers, whether they are engaged in the raising of high class livestock or not, and are an education to even those who have followed the breeding of high class livestock for many years. They provide the opportunity of permitting the breeders .to become acquainted with each other’s ideas and each is thereby allowed to widen his knowledge on livestock raising, an industry that is rapidly becoming recognized as a leading industry in every farming community. The show will continue throughout Friday and Saturday and it is confidently expected that the crowd that will be lured to the city on those two days will be the largest in the history of livestock shows. Further accounts and the winners in the various classes will be published in later issues of The Republican.
