Advertising is an investment—
not an expense.

instead of being mean, cross and
hateful. • •
Prom what we can learn, the
parade on the 23rd is going to be
a "whopper."
Suppose we adopt the rule:
"Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you?"
.Not a "dead head" ad is being
carried in the Sticker just to fill
up space and for appearance,
but we are getting- a monthly
revenue for every ad contained
in this paper.

ed in the regular editions they
do.
The only political dictator on
the Sticker force is its editor.
We form all our own political
opinions, some of course we do
not publish, And we do not
print all of our friends' political
opinions either, for if we did
we would be having a scrap on
hand all the time. In reference
to county 'politics, we haven't
any. Of course we are going to
cast our vote for our choice, but-
not a wo i*d will you find in
the Sticker against any of our
county candidates. All are our
friends.
The "Booster" editor of the
Eagle Lake Headlight is a "Boos-
ter" indeed. In perusing its
twenty-pages we were pleasant-
ly reminded of our boy-hood days
in that beautiful little city. In
the past 11 years it has advanced
by leaps and bounds. We con-
gratulate the 'Headlight upon

has been having very little to
say about politics. We are of the
opinion that all of us are getting
too much politics. We are in
favor of making the terms longer
that so much of our time will
not be taking up in talking poli-
tics. The Sticker has learned
by experience that it does not
pay to burden its readers with
its opinions of the candidates
runing for office. An occa-
sional mention of the principles
we are in favor of is all right
but a continual ding-dong grows
monotonous to our rea ders, es-
pecially those who are not of our
opinion, and the object of a pa-
per should be to please all of its
readers as much as it can.

If our merchants would give
the advertising of their goods a
serious thought they would soon
come to''^. conclusion that it
will pay them to do judicial ad-
vertising. Some mossbacks say:
"Everybody knows we are here."
Certainly they do, but the mer-
chant who keeps his name con-
stantly before the people is the
one who will draw the largest
crowds. Lst the people

Our friendly puns anent
Flatonia will, in the future*
be conspiciaous by their absence.
Since the Argus can't keep per-
sonalities out of its columns, and
not caring to burden our read-
ers whom we are under obliga-
tions to please, with spiteful and
personal answers, we will refrain
from saying anything at all. The
Sticker will not polute its
columns with spiteful and envi-
ous [remarks while the present
editor is at its head. We know
the majority of our readers will
not sanction any such proceedure
so we will devote our time and
energy * for a more noble and
glorious purpose.
Our esteemed comtemporary,
the Flatonia Argus, seems to not
take a joke in the same spirit it
gives one. Now in all our little
squibs about Flatonia we have
never been personal. The Argus
started it and of course the Stick-
er, which is and always will be
loyal to the town in which it is
published, defended-, our little
city; Now [the Argus seeing it
can't say anything more a&Out
Schulenburg, as it has said all it
can, and that wasn't much, gets
personal and has this to say about
the Sticker: "The Argws apolog-
izes to the town of Schulenburg.
We have misjudged that town.
We have made a sad mistake.
Fact is, we have been judging
that town by the Sticker, a, small
boiler plate weekly mailed out
from there." "Dispise not the
day of small things" is an old
saying. The Sticker might ap-
pear small. but it is change
enough for the Argus any day
in the week. It prefers runing
a small paper all home print with
good live ads from home mer-
chants than having part of it prin-
ted in another town and advertis-
ing merchants of a foriegn town
among home peop le in which it
makes a livelihood. We do not like
to say these things but we must
stand up for the right how ever
small and "boiler plated." Now,
Argus, if you can't joke without
getting personal, please cut it
out.
