SQUARE DEAL FOR THE CHILDREN.
BY Judge B. b. Lindsey of Denver
BY Judge /

The child is a wonderful creature; divine
machine. We have much to expect from him,
but he has much to expect from u.s. and what
he returns depends largely upon what we give
We shall suffer with him, whether we vii!
or not, if we do not share his burdens Let
us not weary of the struggle until the child
gets square deal, for until he does we can
not have and do not deserve to have the man.

You Must IrrigateY Your
Neighborhood.
By Herbert Kaufman.

BY HERBERT Kaufman.
Half century ago there were ten million
acres of land within thousand miles of Chr
cago upon which not even blade of grass
would grow. Today upon these very deserts
are wonderful orchards and tremendous wheat
fields. The soil itself was full of possibilities
What the land needed was water In time
there came farmers who knew that they could
not expect the streams to come to Them and
so they dug bitches and led the water to their
properties from the surrounding rivers and
lakes; they titled the earth with their brains as
we'll as their plows-they became rich by un-
derstanding how to irrigate.
Advertising has made thousands of men
rich just because they recognized the possibil
tiles of utilizing the newspapers to bring streams
of buyers into neighborhoods that could be
made busy locations by irrigation-b drawing
people from other sections.
The successful retailer is the man who
keeps the stream of purchasers coming his
way. 1t isn't the spot itself that makes the
store pay-it's the man who makes the spot
pay; who knows how to draw the crowds
Centers of trade are not selected by the public
they are created by the force which controls
the public newspapers.
New neighborhoods for business are be-
ing constantly built up by men who have
si6cated themselves in streets which they have
changed from deserted by-ways into teeming,
jostling thoroughfares through advertising
irrigation.
The storekeeper who whines that his
neighborhood holds him back is squirting at
the truth he is hurting the neighborhood.
fit lacks streams of buyers he can easily
enough secure them by reaching out through
the columns of the daily and inducing people
from other sections to come to him. Every
time he influences customer of a competitor
he is not only irrigating his own field but is
drying out the streams upon which non
advertising merchant depends for existence
Men and women who live next door to shop
that does not plead for their custom will event
ually be drawn to an establishment miles away
because they have been made to believe in some
advantage to be gained thereby.
The circulation of every daily is nothing
less than reservoir of buyers from which
shoppers stream in the direction that promises
the most value for the least money
The magic development of the desert
lands has its parallel in merchandising of men
who consider the newspaper an irrigating power
which can make two customers grow where
one grew before

be. Not only that. but In rural COM
munities they will have the oppor-
tunity to assist in farm work. morn
