The Banner
is a newspaper with a clean, bona fide
circulation of 1,600, which means at
least 5,000 readers. It is read by
families of from two to five members,
who are, in the main, good, substantial
farmers, whose mcney keeps moving the
business of Seymour.
For tliis reason the Banner is tin excellent
advert initio medium and the merchant who
takes advantage of its columns and offers any
inducement to buy will get results.
There are many good forms of advertising
but the best, experts have conceded that none
are so effective as newspaper publicity. The
reason for this is that the newspaper lias now
gotten to be a family, necessity. For the most
part it is rtad closely, and not the least .inter-
esting part of it is the ads. In fact, a paper
whic.ii carries no ads would be rather an iinin
1 cresting publication.
Nearly every business man has tried some
newspaper publicity some time during his
business experience, but frequently timidity or
lack of faith has caused the novice to waver
before he has gained his experience. Some
businesses, like ginning, need advertising only
at certain seasons, but most, concerns have a
mew-age that should go to their patrons at least
once each week. The steady advertiser has
the advantage of all the advertising he has ev-
er done before, pyramiding, you might say.
Decide on an advertising appropriation,
figure how much you can afford to do in this
paper, and then carry an ad every week, in the
tc.mc position if it is possible. Then back this
advertising up with good business methods,
and vou may some day be in the JOHN WANr-
AMA.KER ('LAKH.

But one 1
mate the relative value and the rela-
tive usefulness of money is the one I
who is gifted with the best equipment
for happy living. A lack of sufficient j
means to command proper food, decent.
clothing, weatherproof shelter nnd the |
ordinary correlated comforts of life j
is an inconvenience, and no man so sit- j
uated is living wholesomely. No nor-
mal man should be satisfied with him- j
self as long as he is not in receipt of j
such moderate compensations. On the i
other hand, one with an income whose
accumulalions require constant study
of investments in order that they may
be safely reinvested can not prevent
himself from becoming mentally and
socially immersed in tho atmosphere
of money. Such a man does not broad
en, for the simple but sufficing reason
that the study of money does not ferti-
lize character. It. tends rather to
dwarf, to shrivel, for the man of
wealth who is devoted to his wealth—
as niont wealthy men are—absorbs
suspicion of public servants, impati-
ence with tho poor and dread of the
future as surely as stings grow on
nettles. Real riches consist, of plenty
without superfluity, and real duty as
regards one's self-service lies in secur-
ing as nearly as may lie the assurance
of sufficiency £or himself and those de-
pendent, upon him. One great cause
for the mitigating dissatisfaction of
the restless individual, of whom thoro
are millions, is his idea that he is go-
ing sometime to get out of his present
situation, leave his present surrouod-
lugs, quit his present nswte.iates and
install himself in other and pleasnntor
surroundings, with other and plensaot-
er outlooks. Tlutre is a big mistake.
Improvements of conditions where njio
is born and bred is far better titan

we live. The outside is merely w. ath-
