This cost The Georgian lots of money; but advertis ing pays, and it brought The Georgian may new subscribers. Now The Georgian Is pursuing an other advertising program, that of ex ploiting the memoirs of Ambassador Gerard, who reveals the Innermost se crets of the Kaiser and gives startling diplomatic revelations that shed a new light on the world war. Those who have read Ambassador Gerard’s serial stories in the Philadelphia Public Led ger can appreciate how interesting, how timely, and how really valuabe they are—and what a ten-strike The Georgian has made in securing them for publication. By advertising its own wares, The Georgian does every newspaper in the stato a distinct service. It demon strates its own confidence in the value cf paid advertising. It is giving an em phatlc boost to the stock in trade of every newspaper in Georgia. It is say- of the French would not agree to part with Constantinople.

To err is human, to be sure, but to -err so that your neighbors won’t find It out and talk about you—ah, that’s the divine feature about It. A Pughkeepsie, N. Y., woman offers a reward for the return of her missing husband, "dead or alive.” It evidently doesn’t matter much which. The most feasible plan for develop ing a great system of inter-county chain of good roads is the idea of an Americus citizen, Mr. Frank Shef field, whose devotion to this subject is so well-known. Mr. Sheffield proposes a stretch of good road, kept in costant repair and (therefore in excellent condition ail the 'year round, from county seat to couty seat.
