Your capital may be in-1 '■ vested, but who knows It? !' The newspaper has seen hundreds ! 1 I of advertising schemes enter the j ; field of publicity and depart has seen ! ; advertisers misuse their appropria- 1 tion in an unwise scatteration and j then come back to the newspaper sadder, wiser, but more experienced land appreciative of the true worth of sure enough advertising. Jn the face of· all this, the newspaper has remained as true and strong as the! rock of Gibraltar. And why? Because the people sup port the newspaper as they do noth ing else licensed in the business field. More different kinds of commer cial interests are exploited in the newspaper every year; larger sums are expended and why? No head of a business has the inane vanity to advertise just to see his business written, or his name kept before the public. It is solely a question of dol lars, for no house can long remain in the commercial arena that does not advertise. Advertise steadily in the newspa pers if you want the worth of your money; go at it in a systematized manner, with the determination to particular field. Don't go into the newspaper one day and out enough times to ease up the finance part; advertise so that large sales cover up all leaks; and there is no leak so pernicious as spasmodic advertising —being forgotten in between times sends the people to the man who doesn't give 'em a chance to forget his business. Let us suppose that it were per missable for a newspaper to sus pend issue every now and then be cause it thought that the public did not need to get the news all of the time. Would the excuse be plausible? j Would the people accept it? And, ! honor bright, isn't your business] every bit as important to you as the j news of the country is important to j the newspaper? There can be hut one vital point j to cover in questions of this kind, j No one is in business for health or j pleasure; it is not a matter of pleas-j ing one's friends or of "spreading" j it., the outcome is just a question of j making money. Will you advertise in the newspa- [ ! per and forge ahead or retire j thropgh want of being known?— j Houston Chronicle. Hon. Joseph D.

Building good streets with gravel is no new thing, and the cities and towns that have thus invested money are not dissatisfied with the results obtained. The Uvalde News-Leader has this to say on the subject: "This paper desires to commend the city administration for the extensive improvements it is making on the streets. The graveling of Main street is especially gratifying. In two or three places where the street is low the course of graveling is fourteen inches thick. Such work is perman- j ent and when continued, as the ad- ! ministration intends it shall be, it j will give us the best lot of streets of | any city of our size in the country." j *100 Reward, $100.
