“All Advertising is
Retail and Local”
OX
“All advertising is retail and local in the end no
matter where printed or by whom paid for”, writes
James H. Collins, business expert.
Every merchant, manufacturer or distributor who
advertises should tack that sentence over his desk and
read it over before he decides upon his advertising

Unless your message is retail and local, it misses
the mark, for final sales are both retail and local.
The newspaper, being essentially local, and the
great mouthpiece for the retailers, is obviously the
medium for the thoughtful who are looking for sales.

vania Department of Agriculture re-'
ports the condition and the yield of
farm crops on October 1, as follows:
WINTER WHEAT: The average
yield of wheat is estimated at 19.1
bushels to the acre, compared with
18.8 bushels last year and an 18
bushel average for the past ten
years. Production is estimated at
24,060,000 bushels,
24,634,000 bushels last year and the
ten-year average of 24,311,000 bu.
In rank Lancaster and York coun-
ties, as usual, take the lead; Frank-
lin third, Berks fourth and Chester
fifth. The quality of wheat is esti-
mated as 96%, the same as last year.
SPRING WHEAT: The average
vield per acre is estimated at 17.1
bushels and the total production,
278,300 bushels. Last year the aver-
age yield was given as 16 bushels
and the production, 280,000 bushels.

ed with 3,660,840 bushels last year,
and the ten-year average of 4,2383,-

OATS: The spring and summer
drought had a detrimental effect up-
on the oats and a3 a result the aver

| The ten-year average was 33.3 bush-
els. Total production is estimated
{at 33,798,180 bushels. Last year’s

it is difficult to
obtain. According to the best in-
formation available the average y.eld
{ per acre tlis year is approxim: iely
283.6 bushels, as against 24.7 bushel:

BRADFORD COUNTY STAGES
COCKEREL AUCTION SALE
Bradford county will hold its sec
ond annual Cockerel Consignment
Sale at Towanda, Pennsylvania, on
Noveinber 16. This sale, the only
one of its kind in the state, and one
of the few in the United States will
bring together at least 50 of the
best male birds in Bradford county,
of the leading poultry sections
of the state.
The sale will be held in connection
with the County Poultry Show which
will open on November 13. About
one
100 birds have been entered and will
be judged on a production basis. It
is expected that the entries will be
rely White Leghorns but birds of
r breed may be entered from thé
county.
Buyers from all parts of
vania will be attracted by the high
quality of cockerels offered in the
sale. The birds, all single comb White
Pennsyl-
Leghorns, have been carefully select- |
ed by the poultry extension special
ists at State College and are from
hens banded for their high produc-
ing ability. The egg production of
the flock from which each cockerel
comes has been kept and will be an-
nounced to the bidders.
The first sale, held last year at
Troy, met with hearty approval from
farmers who wished to secure good
males to head their flocks. The
birds last year averaged $4.45 a
piece

It is strange but true that the
man who will finance his business
sensibly and carefully, who will buy
and sell a house with acumen and
wisdom, who will choose his bank
with meticulous care and guard his
with the
utmost skill, frequently throws cau-
tion to the winds when considering
the raising and spending of money
for roads.
It is so pitifully easy to arrange to
have someone else pay for a road! A
bond issue to run fifty years puts
the burden of paying on the men
and women who come after us, while
we use the road! This is bad enough,
as a matter of unsound economics,
but it is worse when the money is
so unwisely expended as to produce
a road which wears out long before
the bonds become due. In - such
cases, and there are many of them!
—the body politic finds itself in the
position of paying for roads which
additional necessity of rebuilding the
road and maintaining it, as well as
paying the interest and finally the |
principal, on the bonds which built
roads which wore out.
There are cases where long term
bonds are justified and necessary.
But there are no cases where the
expenditure of such funds is justi-
fied for anything less than a perman-
ent road, so located, so built, so
and location as to make it of service
to the people to come as well as
those who now use it.
It has been said that there
nothing permanent about any road
except its location, but this is only
when maintenance is an after-
thought. It is as unsound fo build
a road and let it ravel to pieces
is
painted and uninsured. Paint the
house, insure it, repair it, and it may
stand for a hundred years or more.
Maintain the road as it is used and
it should last indefinitely. Only |
such roads should be built with bond
issue money, and only such roads
should be built with money derived
from town or county or state bonds
as will serve town, county, and
state for all time to come.
To do otherwise is to betray
trust of the helpless unborn.
