NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING. An enumeration of the reasons for advertising has recently been given ruT. There are eight reasons advanced, but there are many others, of course. However, here are eight that are very splendid and highly convincing, an given In a southern newspaper: Newspaper reading- is a universal dally habit: newspaper advertising, therefore Apaches each day virtually all who buy. Newspaper advertising is the life blood cf local trade because it touches all consumer sources in every community. It gives the national advertiser the same opportunity for complete consumer appeal in any locality. Newspaper advertising cuts selling costs because it entails no waste in locality or circulation. Manufacturers use. it to cover markets where it is profitable to do business. Newspaper advertising insures quick, thorough and economical dealer distribution and dealer goodwill, because retailers are willing to sell products advertised direct to their own consumers Newspaper advertising enables manufacturers to tell where their- products may be bought. Newspaper advertising can be started or stopped over night, can be prepared between days to meet certain developments and to obtain immediate results. Newspaper advetrising enables manufacturers to check advertising results and costs in every market which they enter. Newspaper advertising costs less than any other kind. The merchant r other business man who is not taking advantage of the opportunities offered by newspaper advertising to bcost his business now will still be facing readjustment problems when his competitor is back on a normal business plane.

didn't even understand how the farmer's ducks could eat the corn whtch the farmer had really sold anu shipped, out of the reach of the ducks. liut the explanation left no roeni for further doubts. On the market it seems the corn was sold for 52 cents a bushel. But," the farmer said, "they de duck the freight; that left 31 cents." Further, "de ducks" for commission, for elevator charges, for hauling and husking, and fcr other operations left five cents a bushel as the farmer's share of the corn. De duck the hired maa's wages from that," said the farmer, "and you are a dam sight better farmer than 1 am if you can flndTauythlng left." The banker may not have been a sadder man on hearing the farmer's lecture on the economics of distribution but he should be a wiser man. This little lesson on hW' "de ducks" eat up the profits is one which may explain much not otherwise clear to us. It is making out no brief tor the farmer to say that on its way from the farm to our dining roc in table the fanner's produce is subjected too often to various "de duck" processes. Nor dees the farmer puy for all of these deductions. The consumer pays his share too. The important thing ' not iVe establishing of the fact or quarreling ever it as to who pays the greater share of this additional increase in cost; the important thing is the recognition Unit unices we guard uguiast it, there is ever the teudeucy of lull eased cot.ts win.-uevei' some clever geuiieiucu evolve scaetues wiiereby they can iilcu a "de duck" irwiu the tibiisdctiou. I Le number tl middlemen and ugeuis is ulways likely to increase, ratner than to diminish by itself. Some of these iueu may add something to tile value of the article lu question; others may justly exact a toll because they expedite diotribut'ou. Aside from these men, however, tuere are always gentlemanly bandits of commerce who, though tbey neither toil cor spin, rigorously exact the toll whatever the traffe will bear. It is the "de ducks" of this gentry against which we ought to Certify ourselves.

LIFE'S POKER GAME. Words were made to hide luau's thought and the Luniau countenance to conceal the soul. We are all lker players striving to fcur-tlush. Oh, the misery and suffering welled up in the hearts of people we meet on the streets! The mother with the babe giv-

worry and jealcusy.. in these days of unemployment, scores of pcoplo you pass on the street are hungry, but tbt curtaiu of speech and facial expression iu a proud mau or woman is inscrutable. Only the weaklings, and they are in the minority, show their suffering. The strong, who are by far the majority, play the game. What a gam! For the few who hold winning hands and rake in the chlp until they are piled iu huge piles, it is only a matter of time "until they must give up their seat. As each player is taken away hi6 winnings gc back into the game. What profiteth man? Is is worth the fleeting pleasure of hording the chips of life? To lose and not whimper. That is the best thing trankind does.

IT GETS US AIL. The farmer who recently explained why he needed to borrow money in spite of the fact that he had Just sold his corn may not have used standard English pronunciation in his discourse to the banker, but even the keeper of the strong box had to admit that the message was perfectly clear. He said it was "de ducks" which ate up the money which the corn should have yielded. This of course was unintelligible to the banker, who like the rest of us did not believe that ducks eat money. He
