Huelva, just across the bay from Palos,
and the principal port in southwestern
Spain north of Cadiz, will also join in
the enterprise.
Although the course Is straightway,
due southwest, the yachts will have
more favorable winds and better
weather than Is usually experienced
on this side of the Atlantic. After
getting clear of the land and passing
the Straits of Gibraltar, the northeast
trades are usually picked up, and from
that time it will be a broad, off the
wind affair, with no fogs, no Gulf
Stream to cross, but clear weather
and a wet sheet, a flowing sea and a
'wind that follows fast.
The finish line will be in the harbor
of Santa Cruz, where there is an ex

^ ADVERTISING SPACE is about the
* * lowest-priced thing of value you can buy in this city.
This phrase of the matter probably never occured to you.
But think it over. Suppose that the rate for want ad
vertising in this newspaper were one dollar a word! A
prohibitive rate, you say? Perhaps, for some classes of
business.
m
But if you were compelled to sell real estate, a dollar a
word for an ad. would still be a profit-returning rate for
you if it found the best market for your property. It
would be a cheap rate for a Situation Wanted ad. if it
found twice as good a job for you as you have ever had.
It would be a profitable way to secure a tenant for vacant
property.
In fact, perhaps half of the want ads. would pay the
advertisers at a dollar a word- and a great many of them
would be paid for at that rate ifi this newspaper charged
that rate.
