The ,]louse was blazing be- yond control, and neighbors had saved what could be taken from the house by the time members of the Pinder family returned home in the late afternoon.

But your advertise- ment isn't here, and people do not worry whether you are selling real estate, gasoline, peanuts or popcorn. Did you ever sit down in the pas- ture with .a pail between your knees and wait for a cow to back up and be milked? Of course not. You know better than that. Well, business is somewhat like a cow. You've got to go out after it and round it up. The fellow with. the milk pail between his knees may get some milk, but the odds are all in favor of the fellow who -drives up the cow and freds her. Some kind of advertising must be done if a business is to amount to any- thing. Either.walking and talking or writing, or printing. But the least costly, most. profitable and dignified way is by the regular newspaper, which goes into people's homes every- where. • THE HURON.
