It helpi the niau who ttiui glvei publicity to the advantHKot be olferi the buyers, aud It creates a favorable impression of a city by bowing to all readers of the paper the live, wideawake character of it buslneaa men. Hen Hampton, a very observing New York business man, baa the following interesting cb erva tiont about newspapers and the prao tioal effeots they'produoe in a com munity: "Can you imagine for a 'minute what life would be without the news paper? It goes Into the borne, the office, the faotory, the shop, on the cars, on trains wherever you find human beings there will you Hud newspapers. "More than that, you will flud the newspaper is read carefully, not only fori the -news of people and eveuts that it gives each day, but for the iu lertutlna news of stores. "I have made many interesting ex periments to satisfy myself as to just bow newspaper Is read. I know that other people have done this and Ifam pretty sure that the experience of.evervemaa who makes any iuvetttl Bfttions.alonathls line will prove that the Hrst thing that is read in a paper published in a small olty Is the news of a Deraonal aud purely looal charro tor. I am speaking now of the women readers. They are the ones who buy the goods and they are the oues thut we are particularly interested in. "After the personal information and local news Is read, a woman may glanoe through to see what the big newt events of the day are about tbat if lust about as far as her inter est goes. Then she reads the ads; it, indeed, she hasn't read them before. The ads. are to ber just as Interesting as any other part of the newspaper, and I suspect many times they are mora interesting tban most of the columns of the average daily news Daner. "The store news as given In the ad- vertlslnff columns Is not only or In terest to the thrifty, Intelligent housewife, but it is absolutely hi liu portant part of ber dally buHlness. She wants to keeD posted on the new est thinss: also, she must keen in formed as to the best places to buy the articles of meroliainline that she needs In conducting ber household AH this Inforniaitou she gots from the advertising columns of the newspaper, "No one need ever question the ability of the advertisement to get it self read. That's the easiest thing in the woild. Every advertisement of fair size is sura to attract some utten tlon. If the ad. is well put together tvooKraohloally. if the headlines are prooerlv written aud properly dis played, and if the text matter is pre pared with thought and attention ; if in other words it is made interest log news, tne ad. itself will be read with ail the care that Is needed. "After that everything depends on the messsae that tne ad. carries, if that message Is one of interest to the woman, it it promises her a good niece of merchandise at a fair prico, tbeohanoes are that she will buy that merchandise If she needs It. "There bas been such an atmosphere of mystery aud romance thrown around advertising tbat 1 think many people are ofteu confused by what Is after all, one of the simplest proposi tions In business. "A good store with good merchan dise can build up a good business without advertising. If it adds to its other things good advertiisng, it Is sure to build up a bigger business, to build it on a more solid founda tlon and to place It beyond the reach or competition." A Mubstltnte for Cedar fonts, A cattleman named (leorge Wright, who bas a ranch near Holly, Powers coauty, tells bow he outs iu half a big Item in fence building by makiug hia posts of oouoiete. "the cheapest fence post we oau get In Kastern Col orado," be says, "ousts us sixteen cents even when bought iu carload lots, which makes fencing an expen sive luxury In the conduct of a cattle ranch. Cement is comparatively cheap and we have saud iu unlimited quantites. About a year ago 1 hit up on the idea of making tence posts of oemeut. I tried it aud have found by actual test tbat fence posts capable of lasting an age, which will with stand the destructive prairie lires, may be made for eight cents each. "My meu are now putting iu all their spare time makiug concrete fence posts. The molds are of very simple construction. A level plot of ground Is selected on which a iloor is built of inch lumber, laid ou string era. This section of Hour Is as wide as the posts are long and both sides and ends are nailed strips of iuoh lumber making a big, Hat, shallow trought. i'nen crosswise are fastened other inoh strips live inches high or us the posts are to be wide. They are placed slightly diagonal tbat the pasts may taper from eight Inches at the bottom to four inches at the top. "Large spikes are theu Hxud along the molds at Intervals to make holes for the wire fasteuings aud theu the molds are ready to receive the con-1 crete. In mixing the ooncrete for fence posts no crushed rock or gravel is used but only screened saud in pro portions of about five paits of sand to one of cement. It is mixed dry at Hrst and then enough water is added to make slightly fluid substance. Pieces of barbed wire, cut the length of the post, are then placed in the mold and the concrete is poured over then aud ilrinly tamped. "This wire serves to reenforco the concrete and gives it greater resisting power. Alter lying about twelve hours the coucreto is set and the posts are ready to be taken out while the molds can lie used for a second batch. Owing to the scarcity of tim ner In all parts or lliu country cou creto is quite gcuorally used for build ing purposes, but so fai as 1 know 1 am the Hrst person to iibo it In mak ing fence posts. 1 am very well satis lied with my experiments and intend to keep up the manufacture. Field and Farm." Ilaynanl .Makes a Find. C. E. llayward, an employe of the Sextou-Wallhoi Co., .uiudo quite an important disco very yesterday. In the alley betweeu the store aud the warehouse there had lulu an old gun ny sack, rolled up and wrapped around with cord, for nearly a week. He supposed it had been thrown aside by some farmer and paid no nttoutim to it until yesterday, when be thought he would examine the contents uf the dirty paicel. On opening the gunny- sack, he found it ti contain a 'M M Savage rille, Luger automatic revol ver and a gold watch uf the Waltham manufacture. About two weeks ago two bouses at Uul'iir had been bur glarized, and these articles had been taKeu from them, as they agreed ex actly with the descriptions gi.en Mar shal Hex ton over the phone at that time. Another pistol was takeu at the same time and place but this is missing. The watch and pistol be long to Ueorge Covey of Dufur, and the ilile to tioy l'eabcdy. It is sup posed that the burglars, not desiring to purchase ammunition and thus ex pose themselves to arrest, had at t mpted to enter the store Imn tho rear and help themselves to the abun dance carried in stock, lining dis turbed they hail tied aud left the gun ny sack behind. There may be fur ther developments in the case in the near future. Chronicle. Court to Decide an Important I'oint. Albany, August HI.
