DEAD HEAD AYERTLS1XG
Among the floods of first, second
u:.d third class mail matter pouring
into Dawson aJfter the long and
costly baul over the winter trail is
a big percentage of would-be irte
advertising matter. That material
«omas from all sorts of sources,
each trying to reach the Deople for
V purpose, and each tying to work
the newspaper publlsho:s for some
thing for nothing.
Suca deadhead advertising matter
is bem^ circulated iniJustrously all
L'ver tee continent. It creates thous
ands «*i tons of useless and costly
haulage in these strenuous times of
war—useless for the reason that
every newspaper which is not gulli
ble immediately consigns the whole
Jot to the waste paper basket.
It costs money to obtain printers,
writers, managers, business office
men am? circulators, and paper, ink
and a!l the overhead items essential
i:i publishing a newspaper. Such
items or expense must come out of
th-} patrons of the paper, those open
and1 square and honest enough to
•i>;>y th-.: * way. if any one of the
,vould-bo deadhead exploiters of
newspapers succeeds in getting a
free advertisment into the news
Taper, the man who is honest
enough to pay his way oa subscrip
tion, Job work or advertising gets
tiit« worst of it by having to pay not
oiLly iy>r himself but also enough to
(ever the cost of handling the dead
head's matter.
This abuse has become such an
enormity that all over the continent
the publishers are shutitiig down
on it. Organizations a.pe being effect
*k1 in tn? United' States and Canada
to forestall this ancient brigandage.
Subtle exploitation of newspaper
yrwxce '« now taboo. For that very
reason tne Canadian Press Associa
tion has been organized, and evesy
Ugitlmate newsppaer in Canada be
longs to it. The Dawson News is a
memcer, and' is taking up in eon»
moa w'th the other Canadian pub- .
lisbers the work of eliminatiOa of'
tha deadhead "ad." i i
t or » long- time much of the mat-jl
ter complained of ■went through; the 1
iv>lumes of m^gaz:nes an£> news
papers .free. The beginning was so
insiduolis that it scarcely was no
ticed. Later it began. to assume pro- j
portiods that encroached on column,
after column. Hard thinking, cool
headed publishers then. noti<?ed that
not only themselves were being ex
'■loiteij, Dtit also theirr cash patrons,
who Wt-re being deprived of matter
in reading columns that Should b<>
In advertising space, ajid that tfc>e
costs * ere all heaped on the lftnitrjd*
number of pay customers instead, of
upon t^e many seeking space.
Matter coming to the Dawtson ;
News every mail contains many en- >
velopes from this bureau and that '
bureau, from automobile horses,''
from, land agents, railway ajid o'ther j
promote.and- sorry to say, to a.
largo extent from vttriou* federD
and distant provincial and state
govern man t&,
In some districts such matter is
H&ii! u-e, and in others the attempt
Is made to get it published free. At
the same time many governments
pract'cing the abuse of seeking free
publicity are seeking the? moral sup
port of the press. True, It may be
sought 'b laudable movements, even
in the circulars complaned of, but
newspaper making costs monty. if
a thing is for the good of the
whole t>eople, it is worth paying
for on behalf of the Whole people.
The day of gratuities by newspa
pers at the higi cost of a poorer
class of paper for the cash patrons
is past. The Canadian Press Asso
ciation is combatting this idea con
sistently, and the Dawson News, in
common, dheres firmly to the pol
icy. Let those who dance pay the
'iddler. Then will the press be able
to come nearer being that ideal de
fenderr of the people which it can
not 'f inadequately tourished.
The idal of such a paper is upper
most in the dream of evarry honest
newspaper man and every good* citi
zen ,»nd may be detected in the
followf«a historic epitome;
A dedication of the declared func
tions of a newspaperr and» its high
purposes is chiseled in stone upon
the lofty walls of the new building
of The Detroit News. Quoting the
president of the News, "These ln
Ajrlotions are not hidden in the
foundation to be forgotteao, but
placed' where they are ever before
the eye? of all, a reminded of ser
vice rendered and those ideals we
are all pledged" to attain."

Dog's Repcntance for Thoughtl'ss Act
Was Evidently Genuine, as Shown
by His Actions.
Sam was a small, sleek yellow pup
six months ago anil was sold by the
dog fancier with the guaranty that
he would not grow to weigh more than
25 pounds, nnd that he was "most all
bulldog." But Sara grew to look like
a erot-s l>uwcei. an Airedale and a lo
comotive. Ho has big feet and a big
body, and wlien he comes head on—
look out! TV.it tint Isn't the story.
I.ike almost all does of the so-called
genus cur. Sam is almost the smartest
quadruped that ever ate bones. He
can sit uy In the corner like .Inckflor

Is going to cry when someoue says:
"Poor Sam. poor Sam!" and he can do
lots of other things. He walked along
after a pedi strian the other day and
refused to come back until his master
went after him and scolded hlru se
verely. so that he would not forget.
Then the muster promptly fargot the
matter.
Ten minutes later when he went out
Into the kitchen, there sat Sam on the
chair In a "praying" attitude and the
tears were fairly streaming dowu his
cheeks. Needless to say he was for

Teaching Soldiers Caution.
I have h frlcud—n voting six-foot of
ficer. powerful as u horse—at one of
the cantonments hi the far South, who
has a way of showing his men-the need
for individual r sponsihllity. Edward
Hungerford writes in Kveryhody's
Magazine.
It in his priicliee to skirmish around
the camp late at night uiul approach
the sentries, glvin;- careless, indiffer
ent, casually friendly replies to their
challenges. Th •» sentry in his happy
(to-lucky Iw'k I'l.imtry fashion, feels
that the stranger is uot merely a
friend, hut of the cantonment. Then
—200 pounds i f brawn and muscle
land upon him: he feels an awful
blow In the pit of the stomach; his
gun Is taken away from him. and he
finds himself sprawling on the ground.
As soon as he can get his breath he
looks at his attacker and begins:
"What the—"
"Exactly so," Interrupts the officer,
"only If this really had been 'N*o Man's
Land' and I a Herman scout you would
have been completely dead by this
time."
They are taking few chances In the
training of our great artny.
A FACT PROVEN.
Should Convince Kven the Moat lk(p
Ileal of II* Truth.
If ther<> I; the slightest doubt tn the
mind* ntiy that Dandruff germs do not
exist, their 1'Wlef is compelled by the
fact that .n rubbit lnnoculated with the
germs became bald in six weeks' time.
It must be apparent to any person
therefore that the only prevention of
baldness is the destruction of the germ—
which act Is successfully accomplished
In one hundred per cent, of cases by
the application of Newbro's Herbicide.
DandrutT is caused by the same germ
which causes baldness and can be pre
vented with tbe same remedy—Newbro's
Herpicide.

cause you remove the effect."
