Suddenly ask twenty people why they read the advertise ments in this paper every week, and fifteen out of every twenty will probably hesitate, and stam mer, and become more or less embarrassed before they can call to mind the real reason why they read the ads. People buy this paper and read it for two very simple reasons they want to know the news of their home community, and they want to know of the commercial advantages that are placed be fore them each week in its adver tising columns. This paper goes out every week to an enlightened people to a people who are accustomed to think and act for themselves to a people who know exactly what they want, and want to know where they can get it. Hence the natural course for them to pursue in their search for information is to turn to the advertising columns of the paper. The live merchant knows this recognizes the fact that he is ca tering to a people of high mental attainments, and shapes his busi ness policy to meet their commer cial desires. Such merchants live, and pros per, and grow with the community. Their advertisements are con stantly placing the desirability of their goods before the buyer, and the merchant is thus brought in to contact with the buyer through the medium of his advertisement. The information contained in the advertisement saves the buy er the time of chasing from place to place in search of some article of which he stands in need. It thus becomes a time saver to the buyer, and an impulse which spurs him on to a constant perus ing of the advertising pages of the paper. This habit of reading the ad vertisements is growing upon the people day by day, for the pub lic realizes that it is the one and only sure means of reducing the "killing of time" to a minimum. These are strenuous days, and time is money, and the well writ ten advertisement becomes a thing of great value to the con sumer as well as to the seller. And of late years the consumer has become educated up to the standard of expecting the mer chant who wants his trade to talk to him through the medium of his advertisement in the local paper. And the merchant who thusly does the business. IF Summer Normal at McConnellsburg. The Summer Normal at Mc Connellsburg, Pa. will open on Monday, May 10, 191.), for a term of eight weeks.

According to the Legislative Journal of March 11th,. the Chap lain of the House used the fol lowing words in his prayer on the morning of that day: "And we know that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." If the stenographer, or the printer did not make a mistake in re porting the chaplain's prayer, then the present legislature has made a new "version of Ephesians 6:12, and perhaps, the chaplain knew, after all, what he was talking about Start Your Ford From the Seat.
