Stovall, one of the brightest and one of the cleverest gentlemen in Georgia, correctly takes the position that ‘he country editor is the salt of .he earth and that the country newspapers of the state are doing a great work for Georgia. He says: “The country editor is the salt of the eaath, the saving of the state. He is generally leader in his own community, and besides looking after his own affairs is ex pected to help out every public enterprise and to pour a balm on every private grievance. The vil lage gazette is looked upon as pub lic property. During the last two years there has been great im provement in the appearance of Georgia papers. There are many papers in Georgia worthy of special mention. The weekly newspaper, as a rule, is managed with more business sense than was once the case. They have a prosperous look; the editors attend to details more closely. They have ceased to print long editorial creeds in the interest of this man or that man. They are no longer personal or gans; but work for the public good, and are managed more along the lines of public enter prises,* ADVERTISING STILL GItOWH. Long ago, says the Cleveland header, the prediction was 'often heard that a reaction, sweeping and effective, would soon set in against the bulk of newspapers made huge by advertising. It was asserted that the business of giv ing publicity to business affairs was being overdone. Efforts were made to show how much money merchants might save if they all ceased to ad\ertise, and when the trust torming craze was at its height one of the argu ments used by promoters of great combinations was that they would be able to do away with most, if not all of the cost of advertising which had been done by the com panies to be united in greater cor porations. Hardly a glance at the leading Ms2ursntm*m IMoisk^’S “All well—all happy—lot of fun”. That is the regular report from the monkey cage of Barnum’s Circus ever since live keepers began dosing th< monkeys with Scott’s Emul sion. Consumption was earn mg of£ two thirds of them every year and the circus had to buy new ones. One day a keeper accident ally broke a bottle of ScottV Emulsion near the monkey cage and the monkeys eagerlv lapped it up from the floor. This suggested the idea that it might do them good. Since then the monkeys have received regular doses and the keepers report very few deaths from consumption. Of course it’s cheaper to buy Scott’s Emul sion than new monkeys—and that suits the circus men. Consumption in monkeys and in man is the same disease. If you have it or are threaten 'ed with it can you take the hint? This picture represents the Trade Mark of Scott’s Emulsion and is on the wrapper of every bottle. Send for free sample. SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St., New York. 50c and sl. all druggista newspapers and magazines is re quired to show how utterly futile attempts to check the growth of advertising have been. Year by year, month by month, the business widens and strengthens. More money and ingenuity are lavished upon advertising today than were ever before devoted to that phase of business Even the great industrial trusts have not been able to do without it.
