Mighty Factor In Business.
Advertising Strong Creative Force. kutpiss Human
Wants and EtsrsifieS Desires.

Advertising is today the mightiest factor in the /
business world. 1t is business builder. 1t Isl
something more than drummer knocking at thei
door OF the consumer, something more than mere,
craftsmanship paper. 1t is positive creative
force in business. It multplies human wants and
intensifies human desires. 1t furnishes excusest
for timorous ones to possess the things which UNI
der former conditions they could get along with
out. Such service as is required of advertising
men today demands broad preparation and equip
ment There is call for men who can exploit az
city or state men who can market the output of
manufacturers, men who can pi4l and conduct az
world selling campaign. ! = man who sue Y
ceeds uses every help that CO his way He
seeks the advice of experienced zen. The club is
to him source of instruction al Inspiration
That is what we are trying to mafeit it. Co opera
ton is the keynote of club success. We have
placed our ideals high, now letus work toward
them.
Advertising, as branch Of our commercial life,
is new. No other group of men, except advertis-
ing men, has ever developed business of such
magnitude in 50 short a time Mistakes were
inevitable. Reasonable and clear headed men has
tened to correct mistakes soon they were dis
covered Webuilt, and altered to meet conditions
as we built, so that the structure present to-
day meets the demands OF today.

Christmas trees will gladden. the
heart of the consumer who is over
burdened with the high cost of liv-
ing, if Mayor Shank is able to carry
out plan he has in mind. 1t is
nothing more nor less than to sell
Christmas trees at the lowest possible
price in the city market.
The mayor will send a man to
Michigan to investigate the Christ
mas trees there before deciding def
initely whether or not he can sell
trees at a saving to the purchaser.
Mayor Shank is reported as saying:
1T is possible to get Christmas trees
in Michigan for absolutely nothing,
and all they would cost is the hand
ling and freight. We will try to
bring in a carload or so and let ev-
cry person have Christmas trees at a
reasonable price"
The mayor has not decided thus
far whether he will have another
turkey sale at Indianapolis. A wom-
an called at the mayors office and
asked him to sell mince meat for her
in the market. She said she was
prepared to furnish as high as 1000
pounds of mince meat homemade at
8 cents pound.

ATTORNEY CLEMENTS
INSPECTS AMENT DAM

City Attorney c. H. Clements on
Friday visited the Ament dam. Mr..
Clements is thoroughly imbued with
the spirit of the great irrigation en-
terprise. He considers 1t the biggest
and best project In southern Oregon
and one that will make this portion of
Josephine county prosperous In the
extreme.
To representative OF The Courier,
Attorney Clements said;
81 took occasion yesterday to in
vestigate what considered the big
gest and best proposition in southern
Oregon, and is to the territory em-
braced a permanent asset to every
person In Josephine county. 1t was
visit to the Ament dam. The dam is
being repaired as rapidly and with
as much skill in engineering knowl-
edge, as II 1t were under the direct
supervision of the federal govern
ment projects that have had a ten
dency to cause many communities to
suddenly save their resources that
are so valuable. For years many
have fathered the idea that water
would be a good thing, but how
could it be obtained without an enor
nous cost, and when would the op
portunity ever come? II the person
who is yet pessimistic enough to keel
such ideas alive he should visit the
dam, the intake, and the works, scar
! the pay roll and see the huge tasl
that Is being and will be accomplish
} ed and will forever stand as the sight

MEDFoRD, Ore, June 15.-The
Crater Lake laundry was burned after
midnight this morning entailing loss
of $4,000. There was insurance car
ried to the amountof $4,000. Flames
enveloped the building in a very short
time, and when discovered was i'm
possible to stay the rayages Of the
blaze. The entire building and con-
tents we're consumed. The theory Is
that the fire started in the engine
room but is secuted by Charles O.

for It's origin.
