THE MAGIC CARPET
Once upon a time in the mystic
land of Persia, there was found among
the treasures of a king, a wonderful
carpet. One had only to sit on it,
wish to be somewhere, and away the
carpet would fly till the wished-for
place was reached. For hundreds of
years it carried kings and princes
upon the most amazing adventures.
No one knows what finally became of
it but it may be that its last threads
went into the make-up of the first
Youth's Companion. For, like the
magic carpet. The Companion for
1926 carries you to the land of your
heart's desire?up into the Maine
woods with the lumbermen; out on
tbe western plains where the warlike
Navaho Indians live; far up into the
gold regions of Alaska; and away on
the Southern Seas in search of trea
sures and lost islands. All you need
for such extraordinary adventures
is a young heart and a Youth's Com
panion. Don't lose time in getting
started; subscribe-now and receive:

MRS. CLIFTON ENTERTAINS,
Mrs. M. S. Clifton was hostess to '

Mrs. Clifton then served her guests
a delicious luncheon.
PERSONAL MESSAGES
Advertisements are open letters to
the baying public written in good
faith. Though they generalise, ad
vertisements make a personal appeal.
The merchant who runs an advertise
ment in the newspaper over his name
addresses you as though he mailed
you a letter with his signature at
tached.
The advertisement has an advant
age over the sealed letter in that it is
brought into the light of day. It dis
pels any suspicion you may have that
the merchant is making another cus
tomer a better offer
When a merchant Inserts an ad
vertisement, he realises that he has
obligated himself to give the mer
chandise as represented at the price
stated. His name attached puts him
on record as standing beok of what
he says.
You can't go wTong reading the ad.
?ertlsements and following their ad
vice. It is the only real way to be
informed on what's to be had. Yon
have neither time nor patience to
'"shop" in every etcre In town.
Select what yon want from the ad
vertisements and then buy it. The
merchants' name at the bottom la hie
guarantee that he will keep the agree
ment made.

Neighbors are wondering what he
did with them.

in the barber shop last week when
one of the patrons gave him a half
dollar tip; He was doing nicely in
hospital, but has had a severe relapse
since the nurse found the coin had a
hole In It. ???
A NARROW ESCAPE:
A number of local men were talk,
lug in a cigar store about a doctor I
who had lost so many cases . and |
John said:
"I think doctors are the bunk and I
they can't do anything even tho they |
did save my life once7"
'How did they save your life?"
"Well, I was sick and I went to a |
doctor andhe was out.

SAVE TIME AMD MONEY
Why waste time in useless "shop,
ping around" when the advertisements
lay before you the choicest wares of
every progressive merchant in town?
Why use needless effort in an end
less store-to-store quest when th#
advertisements enable you to make
your choice of the first merchandise
without even leaving your home?
Why pay more than you ought
when you con stretch your dollar to
the elastic limit by taking advantage
of the bargains and good buys that
are advised in this paper?
Why risk dissatisfaction by buying
unknown, nnbranded goods when you
con assure yourself complete satis
ffatlon by buying any advertised pro
duct, backed by the integrity of a man
or group of men who spend real mon
ey to estnbllsh their name and to
build up public good will?
