No Reduced Rate on Stone.

Special to Tines-Republican
Des Moines, Oct. 5-The railroad
commission did not order any further
reduction in the freight rate on broken
stone to be used for paving and road
work simply because that article now
takes the very lowest rate that is
known and it would be impossible to
ask the roads to haul the stuff any
cheaper. The Iowa railroads have been
willing for a long time to make the
best possible rate on broken stone be-
cause OF their desire to assist in every
way in having good roads made

SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING MUST
BE SYSTEMATIC.

AS a general rule lrrmbermen are
not remarkable for their advertising
stunts. Only occasionally does one
find a dealer in that line making, an
Intelligent use of newspaper space IN
pushing his business. Up in Pennsyl-
vania a lumber dealer of the progress
i've sort, who has won distinction as a
result of his business achievements,
told his fellow lumbermen of that
state the other day how to advertise.
His words are applicable to other
lines and other states Said he:
Many more or less successful means
of advertising have been tried by the
speaker, always with the primary OBJ
ject of letting the people know what
had to sell. During these experiments
tried calendars literature, letters
ard other means too numerous for
r,cntion.
Sometimes these plans were sue
cessful Often they failed Finally
after testing almost every advertising
medium, | tried the newspapers. |
have reached the conclusion that good
advertising in a live newspaper is abb
solutely the best means of selling
goods. This does not apply to the
lumber business alone, but to every en-
terprise where there mis- something to
be sold
''Do not interpret this as meaning
that any kind of an advertisement plac-
ed in newspaper will bring results,
for this is probably not true The adj
Vertisement must b. snappy, attractive
and interesting. The newspapers are
glad to receive such advertisements,
for they increase the value of the
paper to its readers. Interesting orr
humorous headlines and grammatical
correctness are necessary and in every
case will bring results.
such advertising must be systemat-
ic and, if STARTED, must be continued
through all seasons. In dull seasons
this advertising is especially advantage
eous. After all has been considered |
the merchant or small dealer will find |
hat newspaper advertising the year
round will cost less than any other
means of selling material and will be
/ hundred per cent. more satisfactory

THEY FOUND 4 LITTLE EMPIRE"

Under this caption the Savannah
Morning News tells Of the impression
made upon a party OF Northern cap
italists who recently toured South
Georgia in company with Mr., John
Shelton Williams, so we'll and favor
ably known in Americas through his
construction work in the creation of
the Seaboard system. Says the News:
Those who read the interview II
Mr.. John Shelton Williams in the
Morning News yesterday were no
doubt gratified that he and his fellow
capitalists were so well pleased with
what they saw in South Georgian
the wiregrass section. Mr.. Williams
and his party had been along the line
of the recently opened Georgia and
Florida railroad, and had stopped III
Savannah to get a view OF the South
Georgia metropolis. All of them were
enthusiastic over the development that
is going on in South Georgia,
Mr.. Williams told the story of that
development enthusiastically, graphi-
cally and in detail, 1t is a story Of
the changing of great section, AMI
empire in extent, from what a COM
paratiyely few years ago was practi-
cally a wilderness to a rich, prosper
Gus country, dotted all over with pro-
ductiye farms and thriving towns and
villages-a section to which home
seekers and investors are going BY
hundreds and thousands and which ri
walls the most favored parts of the
Union in the charm of its climate, the
richness of its soil and the variety eff.
its productions.
And the remarkable part OF the
story is that the value of its lands
were not appreciated until within the
last few years Many predicted that
when the timber was removed the
country wouldn't be inyiting-that the
lands wouldn't be inviting-that the
lands wouldn't prove to be fertile. The
contrary is the case. The lands that
grew the tall pines and yielded for
tunes to those who turned them into
naval stores and lumber are now yield |
ing greater fortunes to those who are
tilling them. Great as the traffic of |
the railroads was when the timber |
was in its prime it is far greater since
the larger part OF the timber has been !
removed and the lands have been put |
in cultivation. The valuable long sta
pie cotton, fruits, grain, sugar cane
and vegetables are produced abund-
antly, and cattle. sheep and hogs are |
raised at a cost that makes them very !
profitable We are sure that Mr. Will
liams and those who were with him
didn't for one moment regret having |
invested in the railroad that has help |
ID and is helping to develop this most
part of the Empire State of |
he South.

INSURANCE AGAINST SICKNESS

Mr.. David Lloyd-George, the Chan
cellor of the Exchecquer. is intending
to Introduce during the session OF
Parliament which Will begin this week
a bill which he has prepared to establ-
ish system OF state insurance against
sickness and invalidism 1t is to apply
to all persons between the ages Of
sixteen and seventy whose incomes
derived from any kind OF occupation
do not exceed $4,000 a yqear, which will
embrace at least three-fourths of the
total population and it is made COM
rpulsory on all who come within It's
scope, Its requirements are not %
be confined to a selected class, and it
will not be necessary TO pass a phys
ical examination in order TO partici-
pate in its benefits. Any one and ey-
cry one within the stated classical
ton will be eligible for an insurance
which will secure the payment of
about five shillings a week during the
continuance of an incapacitaJing dis
ability.
Just what premium will be exacted
from the insured has not Yet been de-
termined This will depend on the
result of actuarial calculations, which
at last reports had not Vet been COM
pleted. There is to be no repetition Of
the mistake which is now admitted 0
have been made in the old age pen
sion legislation, and the government
will not assume the whole cost OF the.
undertaking Despite its momentous
consequence and the extreme gravity
of the precedent which it established.
the old age pension bill was passed
without the careful deIiberation vi
should have received. As it is well
known, it does not require that any
contribution should be made by its
benefciaries to the pension fund. The
whole amount distributed is derived
fro mthe public treasury at a cost 10
the country which already approx
mates forty million dollars year, and
thoughtful students apprehend that
this amount is likely to be indefinitely
increased.
When it was too late, Mr.. Lloyd
George went to Germany and made a /
study of the situation there, and he IS
said to have been convinced by what
he saw and learned that it would have
been wiser to adopt the German meth |
cd, under which the old age pensions
are provided by equal payments from
the employed, the employer and the /
state. He has now introduced this
principle in his sickness insurance
bill, and the workers will be called up
on to pay one-half the estimated cost
of the insurance Then the govern
ment and the employer will pay the
remaining half between them. This s
a large project, whose feasibility and
value only experience can prove. It'll
involves a radical departure from the
individualism which has heretofore
prevailed in the United Kingdom.
which would have amazed and shock
ed the statesmen of a generation ago. |
But hte old country is not in many
ways what it used to be, and if It's
people have become unable to take |
care of themselves, it may be not only
the province but the duty Of the gov
eminent to lend them aid.
