THINK THIS! OVHIt.
We do not wish to bo classed as
grumblers or fault finders, but wo do
not bcllevo the business men of St.
Johns In general patronize their lo
cal paper In the manner In which
they should. There Is not a business
houso hero of nny consequence but
which should carry nn ad of somo
hIzo In the Itovlow. No paper can
hope to long survlvo without adver
tising patronage. It Is the main sup
port of all nowspapcrs, and without
It they coaso to oxlBt. Bomo buslncsi
men lmnglno they nro doing their
duty toward their local paper when
they have their names enrolled as
nuUcrlbers. When the fact Is known
Hut overy ycnr'B subscription which
can now bo obtained for otio dollar
per year costs tho Itovlow manage
ment u llttlo over two dollars, It can
readily bo seen how great a benefit
the tfflco receives when n now sub
scriber Is added to Its list. We nre,
bowover, grateful for ovory now sub
scriber wo enroll, bb each now one
reduces our loss n Utile, and It Is
necessary to Imvo n good list In or
der to mitko advertising 11 paying
pioposltlon,
Thoro nro n number here who
have been very faithful In their ad
vortlslng patronago, n fact wo deeply
appreciate and shall uver remember.
Hut thoro are many others who do
not aid tho paper In any manner
whatever outside of Hiibscrlpllon
When upproached on tlio subject
they give those old threadbare ex
etises, such as "I do not think It
would do mo any good," "I have tho
only store here of Its kind nnd do not
need to advertise," These may seem
valid reasons for Hioho people, but
they certainly are not to us.
Wo nre, of course, aware of the
humble way to advance tho Inten'stH
or St. Johns, trying to gel more
ptrplo here and miiku more business
f(.r alt. Therefore, even If u busl
news ninn has no competition here,
iloeH uol believe lit advertising or
doea not think It pays, he Is not do
lug his duly to his local paper when
tin dees uol advertise. If a man has
no opposition lu it business sense It
In not it difficult matter for a news
miner to send the word broadcast
otei Hie country that 11 good oppor
tunity awaits an enterprising bust
t'Cr's man In it certain locality. Then
(hue are usually many Inquiries for
good locations Hint come to every
uewrpaper office, and It Ih quite
ens; to steer them wherever desired.
Wo have known this to happen lu
several Instances lu the ICtist, but
we do not desire to adopt hiicIi a
course, however much Hie tempta
tion may assail us at different times
after it discouraging qucsl for new
advertising.

Hut as self preservation is Hie first

to depart from this rule later uu.
There aro some business men hero
wliu prefer advertising in an outside
paper rather than lu their home pa
rtf, and yet they get warm under tho
collar when they boo business going
to I'ortlaud from St. Johns, Hut
what can they expect? If they set
tiie example why should not the la
boring mini follow suit?
There Is not it business of any na
ture in St. Johns that is so small
that it cannot afford to advertise, If
only in a modest way, and there
seems to be no good reason why such
Is not the case,
It does not follow, however, that
the Itovlow Is a charitable Institu
tion, for It certainly Is not, but like
tiny other Institution which depends
entirely upon public support for
maintenance, it needs all It cau get.
Wo bellve, however, that full value
will In each Instance be secured as
a result of tho ad, and It will neither
make us rich nor the business man
poor to give it n trial.
It Is very distasteful to us to dwell
upon these matters, und It is only
through n desire to permit tho bust
ness men to look at It from our side
of tho fonce that wo havo gono to

DID YOU?
Did you ever go to Portland and
while there decide to buy a little
nicnt? And did you open it up
when you returned home and found
that it was not what you believed
it to be when you made the pur
chase? In fact, did it not become
necessary to throw all or a portion
of it out before it was eaten ? Was
it not stale, diseased looking and
emitting a bad odor.? If this has
not been your experience it has
been that of others. In several
cases Portland butchers have been
hauled up before a magistrate for
selling infected meats. Did you
ever know that to be the case in
St. Tohns? Better be sure the
meat you use is GOOD in every
sense of the word. Better for your
self, better for your family. That
is the only kind that can ever be
found at
