Parties are soliciting advertising for a "rural route directory” of Jasper county, The Democrat is informed, and the "directory” is no doubt a good thing for the. promoters but it is difficult to see wherein it is of much advantage to anyone else. The Democrat knows by actual experience that nearly one-third of the patrons of most of our rural routes move each year, or that r about one-third of the present pafrons of these routes will change their address when spring comes. At least this has been the history in past years. There are many people, however, who prefer to blow in their money on every advertising scheme that comes along, instead of spending it for legitimate newspaper advertising, the only class of advertising for which one gets value received.
