AS IT SEEMS TO ME That one bad turn deserves anoth. er for the better. , That age makes some people wise and others stubborn. That talk ia r-W- but somehow gossip manages to gain currency. That shame seldom comes to a man unless he invites it. , That one little hint is often worth more than a ton of advice. That troubles and mules should nev er be approached from the rear. That it is the man with the most sand that wins the' girl with the rocks. That birds of a feather flock to gather. That when men tire of the prise ring nd women tire of the wedding ring, they go on the stage and tire the public. That then an no female pugilists, yet women frequently handle each other without gloves. That a pair of shoes a site too small may fit a women; but if they an a size too large she has a fit. That a man deceives himself often er than he does the other fellow. 'Unemployment increased five ' per cent during Mar. Albany to have new $36,462 eehool building. .. -.

The Low Cost of Advertising Space Few advertising men know that advertising space in newspapers is by far the economical way to reach the consumer. It is a fact and the only reason that advertising was ever created was because wise and shrewd business men learned that they could buy white space in publications at a minimum cost and because of the 'message they would put into that space they could make a profit on the transaction and make the advertising a real investment in production of. sales and goodwill. In these days of high cost of white paper and printing the advertisers could not print a full-page advertiie- ment ana Duy tne wmie paper ui m small cost that the newspaper charg es him for the complete page deliv ered into the home by invitation. That is to say, the readers of this news paper buy a peper because they want to read it and because they know they get more for their money at 8 or 4 cents than anything else they could buy at that price. That is what makes the advertisinff so valu flhlo tft the advertiser, nrovided they have the right message, the right il lustration and the right merchandis ing nlan hack of the advertising. Newspaper advertising .is by far the most economical method to reach the consumer. WILLIAM H. RANKIN. President William H. RANKIN, Advertising Agency in Newspaper dom.

He says the Pendleton peo ple did everything in their power to make the old war veterans have a good time. Free' automobiles took them everywhere they desired to go. While at the Encampment he secured a copy of "The Rebel" published at Chattanooga, .Temi., August 9th, 1862, and a copy of the Daily Citizen, published at Vicksburg, Miss., July 2nd, 1863. This latter paper was printed on wall paper and its columns were full of Rebel news as was also the "Rebel." The Union soldiers captured Vicksburg, and took over this paper on the 4th, using all of the type the Rebels had set, simply add ing a paragraph stating that the paper had been taken over along with the rest of the city. Following ia the note: NOTE. July 4th, 1868. Two days bring about great chang es. The banner of the Union floats over Vicksburg. Gen. Grant haa "caught the rabbit;" he has dined in Vicksburg, and he did bring his din ner with him. The "Cititen" lives to see it. For the last time it ap pears on "Wall paper."

ITS USE ITS FORBIDDEN ABUSE , The Flag . I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the republic for which it stands; one nation, iadirisible, with liberty and justice for all. THE AMERICAN FLAG is the symbol of the brothemood of man; it stands for courage, for chivalry, for generosity and honor. No hand must touch it roughly; no hand will touch it Irreverently; it is a birthright of privilege and integrity. It must be raised at sunrise; low ered at sunset. - It may not be used as staff orwhip, or covering. Its position is aloft. It shall not be marred by adver tisment. When the national colors are pass ing on parade or in review, the spec tator, should, if walking, halt, and, if sitting, arise, stand at attention, and uncover. - When displsyed with other flags the National Flag should be placed on the right. It has floated since June 14th, 1777, over a country of benevolence, refuge and nroeress. To bear the Star Spangled Banner la an Honor, to own a aacred trust.
