The Best Medium Campaign Shows People Buying More Goods Advertised In Newspapers Wires, Cables Are Crippled By Sun Spot New York—A huge spot on the sun played hob with communica- tion Sunday and against •Sunday night. Disruption of telegialyh and. short wave radio service was the worst in 30 years, some experts said.

More and more the public are watching the adver- I tiling columns of the papers and 1 magazines, particularly the former, for It is generally agreed that the best advertising medium Is a live daily paper. Those who watch the values the merchants have to offer at special and stated tines are sure to make their dollars go farthest. 'It is not keen buying to purchase an article just because it is cheap, irrespec- tive of your need for it. The person who buys carefully, though, is bound to. find many chances In taking ad- vantage of special advertised prices. It can be said that a well-written advertisement, one that gives pric- es, explains 'why reductions are , made, and; deals fairly with the buyer, has a considerable amount o4 news value. The number of those who lead the advertising column is growing, They find that it pays. It is one way' of making every cent pay 111• a time when there is needy of every cent counting. --,Guelph Mercury was a staunch temperance advo- ca'te a member of Morning Star Lodge, Na, 309, A,F. and A..111., and a devout member of the Presbyter- ian, Church et Carlow.
