MUST CHARGE FOR SERVICE.
When you go to your grocer to buy a sack of flour you do
not expect him to throw in a box of matches or a sack of salt, do
you:' When you go to the baker to buy bread' you do not ask
him to throw in a dozen doughnuts or cookies? What you
want you buy and you pay for it and go away satisfied with
what you have actually paid for ami nothing else.
Hut all this changes when you go to a newspaper office.
Y.m give him an ad and then ask him to throw in as many dol
lars wort h of free advertising as your bill comes to; or you place
an advertisement in the paper and then expect to receive the
paper free for your generosity.
No branch of the business world is feeling the abnormal
rise in prices so much as the printer and publisher. The cost of
print paper has gone up by leaps and bounds, until it is not only
a iiuestion of cost, but whether it can be obtained at all. Now,
the columns of a paper and its circulation are the publishers
merchandise. It costs lum in raw material, labor and overhead
just tin1 same, and probably a little more than it does tlx* grocer
or dealer in other staples, as his help is much more highly paid.
Kvery time the publisher gives this white space away lie is de
pleting his stock of merchandise, and just so much money is go
ing out of his pocket. 11c is in the same shape as the grocer or p
baker who gives away his wares.
It is every publisher’s aim to make a success of his busi
ness. No man likes to lose money. To make money a man must
charge more for his wares than ho pays for them, with a reason
aide profit for overhead expenses and profit.—Valdez l’ros

IDEAS TO GET RID OF.
If you have not made a success of yourself get rid of these
ideas:
That the place at which you work is a social club, a hall of
oratory, a meeting place for conspirators, a cursing club, a
•cl loo I for dumb r. a society for the prevention of useful work,
a debating society, a temple for triflers, a church for the reli .
giou of laziness, a morgue for deail energy, or a bungler’s]
bazaar.
It is none of those things. Neither is it a home for the in
dulg' nee of hobbies, a knocking asylum, a loafing entente, or a j
ne’er do well alliance.
Get rid of such ideas. And get rid of the idea that you can
get something for nothing.
Ideas like the above were made for the purpose of getting
rid of them. If you are keeping any of them in captivity, light
a fuse and at once explode the prison.
Sooin r or later you will got rid of them; and' when you j
come to \oti will find yourself asking the Salvation Army for I
a meal. M. .1. Rubin in People’s.
-:o;
It is strange the number of people whom one in any class
of business meets in a day who are willing and anxious to help!
you with ideas in the matter of how your business should be
run. We invariably notice that those who are so anxious to
impart advice in this respect usually are working for a daily
wage, which gives the impression that they have not math* a
success of their own affairs to any great extent, although they
are willing to use the best part of their brain power to make a
success for some one else.
-:o:
The election now being, over the good people of Cordova
and elsewhohe can now take up the daily routine of life where
thev left off before the political broth began to boil.

Pen Mightier
Than the
Sword.
By BREEN.
The most powerful
pen is the advertising
pen.
Publicity, like elec
tricity, is yet in its in
fancy. None knows the
limits of either.
But it is patent to all i
that newspaper advertis
ing is the foundation of
all publicity.
Now, listen. There
isn’t a successful business
man in the country who,
when cornered, will
not confess that a great
measure of his success is
due to advertising.
Be a success. Adver
tise.
Advertising
An Aid to
Education.
By BREEN.
Read the ads. They’ll
help in your education.
1 here was a time when
ads. were glimpsed. To
day they are read care
fully. An ad. carries
information. Information
is educational. When a
man advertises he seeks
to enlighten.
Women today read
department store ads.
more carefully than they
do the society news.
That is a strong state
ment. But it is true
nevertheless.
And the men seek
bargains in the newspa
per ad. columns. Read
and be enlightened.
Add to your education.
