I John Horiskey in the sett|ement of
an argument of long standing Wed
nesday evening defeated L. W. Arnold
in a standing broad jump on the
athletic field in the rear of the Arnold
residence, by fourteen inches. Mr.
Horiskey cleared nine feet seven in
ches and Mr. Arnold eight feet five
inches. The contest came about over
Mr. Arnold’s contention that there
were many athletes in O’Neill who
could make a ten foot standing broad
jump, which was disputed by Horis
key, who, while admitting that he him
self was some jumper, said that he
could not do it himself although he
was satisfied that he could beat Ar
nold. A quet hour in the evening
while Mr. Horiskey was supposed to
be bringing the family cow home from
pasture was chosen for the contest,
which was witnessed only by a select
lew. Both men, after having tried it,
now agree that no man but a profes
sional can make a standing broad
jump of ten feet without weights.
They also issue a challenge to any
athletes of their age for a jumping
contest for the Holt county champion
ship and a substantial side bet.

1 HE LOW COST OF
ADVERTISING
Few advertising men, know that ad
vertising space in newspapers is by
far the most economical way tt> reach
the consumer. It is a fact and the only
reason that advertising was ever
created was because wise and shrewd \
business men learned that they could
buy white space in publications at a
minimum cost and because of the mes
sage they would put in that space they
could make a good profit on the trans
action and make the advertising a real
investment in production of sales and
good will.
In these days of cost of white paper
and printing the advertiser could not
print a full-page advertisement and
buy the white paper at the small cost
that the newspaper charges him for
the.complete page delivered into the
home by invitation. That is to say
the readers of this newspaper buy a
paper because they want to read it
and because they know they are get
ting more for their money at 2 or 3
cents than anything else they could
buy at that price. That is what makes
the advertising so valuable to the_ ad
vertiser, provided they have the right
message, the right illustration and the
right merchandising plan back of the
advertising.
Newspaper advertising is by far the
most economical method to reach the
consumer.—William H. Rankin, Presi
dent H. Rankin Advertising Agency
