WHEN the social geologist of the
future lays bare the stratum in which
We live to-day, and examines it, he
will doubtless name it "The Age of
Bill Boards" He will find layer after
layer of bill boards, thousands upon
thousands Of feet of advertising, and
very little else; for that is the great
tendency OF tO-day-the tendency to
advertise. Not in commercial way
particularly, for the legitimate dis
play advertisement of the regular
merchant is the most modest of them
all. But take up any paper you may
choose, any magazine you may find or
book you can name, and cast out all
that is simply an advertisement Of
some man or other and how much re-
mains? The magazines and books
are worse in this regard than the
newspapers, Pick up your favorite
magazine; look at the title page.
What do you find? Names, names,
names. Names of men and women
who are trying to get notoriety. Turn
over the pages. What do you read?
Is it literature? Is the diction clear
and pleasing? Is the thought par
ticularly deep? Is the thought of
any consequence save in connection
with the man whose name is under
it? Isn't it merely an opinion? An
opinion of whom? OF an advertiser
to be sure, and nothing else. Look
at your favorite book written to-day.
II you did not know of the author,
would you read it? II he were not
alive to run his advertising bureau
would his book find readers? What
great preachers sermons would sell
under an unknown name, any more
than would Jimson's soap under like
circumstances? What great doctors
remedies would find favor if they came
from a more learned but less notorious
physician? Half the lawyers who
win cases would lose them If their
names were changed. In former days
the Great Unknown" was a mascot;
to-day he Is a Jonah. And this only
shows the extent to which advertis-
ing has become part Of our exis-
tence. But there is this good fortune
in it all. There is no divine right to
advertising. It is democratic in its
favors, and he who possesses the Sc
cret of the art of advertising has his
hand upon the door which leads to
success; but woe is he II he try to
open when he is unworthy; for II the
world worships her heroes sooner OF
later she numerically cruci1es heg

Kansas Zinc and Lead.


Labor Commissioner Betton has re-
turned from a visit to Galena and Pitts
burg, where hs sojourned for the great
or part Of the past week, investigating
the lead and zinc business.
The commissioner proposes in his
next report to submit all the facts pos
sible regarding this important and
growing industry-the number of men
employed. the wages paid, capital in
vested, value of product, etc. During his
visit every facility was given him to gain
information from which to prepare a
list of questions suitable to this partic-
ular occupation. and his blanks will be
printed and mailed at an early date.
In addition to the large number of
zinc smelters located at Pittsburg, Mr..
Betton found the new silver smelter,
recently erected by Colonel N. F. Acers
and others to reduce low grade silver
and gold bearing ores by the new Chick
process in full operation.
This company has purchased q mine
in Colorado and proposes to ship in the
ore for reduction.
He found labor as rule unusually
we'll employed and payment of wages
made promptly, and both Pittsburg and
Galena fairly we'll prospecting.

The Work Of the Board.

The board of managers for the Kan.
sas exhibit at the Worlds Columbian
Exposition have gone to work in earn
est to effect the organization OF County
Columbian associations in every county
in the state, and are meeting with sufti-
Gent encouragement to warrant the be-
lief that they will succeed. One OF the
first duties of these organizations will
be the collection of necessary funds,
but the main object will be the collec-
ton of products and materials to make
the exhibit. They will be expected to
STIR up general interest in tho work,
and encourage an effort to produce
things that will win worlds fair pre-
miums. Every county has, or il proper
effort is made will have, something to
exhibit. The time to commence work
is now. II you expect to exhibit corn,
the ground must be prepared; il live
stock, the selection should be made and
fitting commenced; if manufactured ar
ticles, the time is short. In every in
dustry, whatever is prepared will re-
quire time. To see to all this and to
collect and forward everything after it
is produced will give county organiza-
tions plenty OF employment from now
until the exposition closes.
When the legislature meets, If they
desire to reimburse persons or associa-
tions who have contributed money, they
will have an opportunity. The legisls-
ture can appropriate money, but it can
not make county organizations to en-
courage effort to produce materials and
products that will make creditable ex-
hibit. This must be done by the coun-
ties themselves. It cannot be done for
them by any outside agency. II the
money was already appropriated it
would not lessen the work to any great
extent; the county organizations would
still have to be made and q general in
terest IN the undertaking stirred up.
It this work is done Dow-and the PEG.
pie of Kansas have a whole year for
preparation-we can safely hope to win
in the competition at Chicago. County
organizations will know what their
counties can do. and through them the
state board will know what the state
can do, and by their united effort the
exhibit will be made complete. The board
of managers are sending ont necessary
blanks for organization and will render
every possible assistance. Each county
will have something for the exhibit. and
full credit will be placed where it be-
longs in every case. The lady managers
are also at work effecting the organize
ton of Ladies' Columbian clubs in each
county, and will be fully able to show
when the time comes, that the women
Of Kansas can compete with the women
of the world in every avocation open to
women. They will made an exhibit at
Chicago that will make Kansas mon
proud of Kansas women.
