float comes to town for the day the float is really something according to ad vance publicity created at a cost of 50000 the company it has a beautiful throne for the peanut queen created entirely out of peanuts as are the other decorations this is one of its first appearances of the season and the lions club has been particularly fortun ate in booking it here for the whole day originally it was slated to come for only an hour or two the purpose of saturdays event is of course to raise money for the lions welfare work which includes a share in the summer stayathome camp it is a tag day only instead of thedonator receiving a tag to pin j on nis coat he gets a nickle bag of planters peanuts the idea of course is not to give just a nickle for the bag but to do as one usually does on a tag

is more than three months in arrears will be get ting a bill in the mail like many other weekly newspapers we have de cided to become a member of an audit organization which guarantees a certain paid circulation daily pa pers and magazines have long followed this system but it is only in the last few years that the weeklies have been adopting it national advertisers like to know what they are buying they judge a newspaper by its circulation- and they do not like to take our word for it they figure that some publishers keep on sending the paper to peo ple long after it was originally ordered just to inflate their circulation and give a false picture many of these advertisers measure a papers value to them by the number of subscribers who pay in advance and will not use the paper unless this circulation is audited this nevv system will mean more work but it will have some definite benefits for us we make our money from advertising more advertising will mean more income it will also have some definite benefits for her ald readers for with more revenue we ca spend more money on pictures and features which will make a big ger and better paper for you to read your cooperation
