KEEP UP TO DATE Did it ever occur to you that you can not he thoroughly up to the minute, can not he in lino with the progressive events of the doy unless you read the advertising columns of the newspupws? Advertisements indicate the world’s advancement in every field of progress. The talking muchine. the wireless inven tion, the most marvelous discoveries of nny period, come in for advertising. A broad cast collection of ftitvortiseiiieuts from the world’s leading publications would reveal a golden treasure of information. In your own home newspaper you have a proportionate degree of useful knowledge disclosed to you through ad vertising. If it is something new in the realm of fashion, in artware, in every day foods— our whatever it may be—advertising tells the story with interest and conviction. THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA.

"Bobby Jones, I did not know what happened for a second, such a scream as my little mother gave, and she took the stove poker and pounded the oven door ecausc sho could not open It. I can tell you that cook opened the door pretty quick then, but not before my little mother's screams brought that nurse, and she told my little mother to stop her crying over that good-for nothing Drusilla. But that only made my little mother scream louder, and then her mother came running in, and she gave that nurse and the cook a scolding, and sho did not leave me un til l was dry; yien she sewed on my arm and told my little mother .hat she had hotter put me in the playroom when she went skating. But now I have two enemies in the house, for I heard the cook tell that nurse that any one would think 1 was a new French doll, the fuss that was made over me, and if sho had her way I would go into the ash can."
