INDUCING SETTLERS.

How to help your section pros
per and induce immigration is Of
fered in the following, from the
daily Facts of Redlands, Cal, and
as that country has been made by
advertising, this expression may
be cited as expert opinion =
"The Los Angeles Herald says
with reference to a project recently
mentioned in the Facts; In the
various newspapers published IN
cities and towns of Southern Cal
ifornia we find frequent illusions
To special schemes for advertising
the attractions of such communi-
ties i'm magazines and other out
side publications. For instance,
a plan for advertising the three
cities of Redlands, Riverside and
San Bernardino in a magazine is
now under consideration. a good
deal of money is involved in the
proposition, but the fattering in
ducement is offered that the maya
zine will reach the hands of thous-
ands of Eastern people, who may
be induced to migrate in quest of
the alluring promises portrayed
and described.
"The familiar maxim; 1t pays
to advertise a good thing is in
complete it should be suppli-
mented with the word 'judiciously'
if money is no object in adver-
Using then shovel it out to every
proposition that comes along.
There is no doubt that such a
policy will bring a harvest of re-
turns. But new advertisers have
not King Solomon's mines NOR the
single mine of the Croesus of
Death Valley with which to pay
for advertising ad libitum, and old
advertisers have learned by ex-
perience the folly of putting their
advertising money where it will
do the least good.
ASK ten newly arrived home
seekers what led them to consider
migrating to Southern California.
1t is a good guess that at least
half of them were influenced by
newspapers of this section sent
eastward by friends. 1t is safe
guess, anyway, that even such
newspapers as find their way east
ward in that manner are far more
effective in inducing migration
than all the special magazine and
kindred stuff for which money is
paid.
Eastern people know, as South
ern Californians certainly ought to
know, that there is no other index
of community approaching in
accuracy the local newspaper or
papers. The newspaper of a town
is miniature of the town itself.
That is a fact well understood by
large advertisers who cover the
whole American field,
"The best investment that the
cities and towns of this section car
make in advertising abroad is by
liberal and systematic spreading o
their home newspapers amonl
Eastern people"

Beautiful Sentiments iron the Land OF Childhood by Rich
ard l. Metcai Associate Editor of The COmmOner


Recently a number OF men from var
ions walks OF LIE were assembled in a
hotel corridor. They engaged In a
discussion of the scriptures and il
developed that many OF these men had
been careful readers. Someone asked
for opinions as 10 the most beautiful
passage in the Bible. Several learned
responses were given. One man. well
known among western plainsmen, and
enc who was not suspected Of being
great studen, of the Bible, surprised
his companions by say ng: Boys,
there are just two things in that old
book that | never gel tired hearing
of. One is the story Of that little fell
low Samuel; and | snail never forget
he picture in my good old mothers
Rible showing Samuel sitting in his
little bel ana. in response to Gods
call, saying Speak, Lord. Thy servant
Rea~eth.
But" continued the plainsman,
the pre9iest pen picture ever drawn
is to be found in the tenth chapter Of
Mark"
His companions thought to test him
and one Of them asked, How do you
know it is in the tenth chapter Of
Mako
I'll SHOW you" said the plainsman
and going 10 the check room, he dcIved
into capacioas gripsack and drew
forth well-hngered Bible Standing
in the center Of that group of men, the
Dla nsman read:
Ana taey brought young chill
dren to him that he should touch
them; and his disciples rebukad
those that brought them.
Bur when Jesus saw i. he was
much displeased. and said unto
them: suffer the little children
to come unto me, and forbid them
not, for Of such IS tina kingdom
Of God Verify | say unto you:
whosoeYer shall net receive the
kingdom of God as a little child
he shall not enter therein
And be took them up n his
arms put his hands upon them
and blessed them.
Impressed with the plRinsman' S
unsupported familiarity with the scrip
tHres. his companidag agreed that.
after all their unlettered friend was
not far from the right when he said
that the Sweetest Singer of all The
ages gave to men the sweetest song
II all the years when He took than
UP lii his armG, put his hands upon
them ard blessed them, saying: "Suf-
fer the title children 70 come unto
