ers may reserve the right to remove

known to exist.
Proposals will be received fol
small as well as for large tracts, al.
though small tracts can be examined
only where the purchase of a con-
siderable total of land in the same
neighborhood is under consideration
With regard to the price which can
be paid, Secretary Wilson indicates
that the policy of the COM
mission will be to make the money
available go as far as possible. For
the most part" he says, we shall
have to buy cut-over lands or lands
without much mercaantable timber.
/ want to make it plain at the start
that shall recommend this class of
land only when it is offered very
cheap. Proffers of land at exorbit-
ant prices will not be considered. l
am frank to say that | hope to see a
great deal of public spirit manifested
by land owners. | expect some
lands to be offered at merely nomi-
nal prices in order to aid the govern
ment in getting well started upon
this wise and necessary policy.
The lands acquired by the gov
eminent will be held as national
forests. They will be protected
from fire and the growth of the tim
Der will be improved as much as
possible. The lands will not be
game preserves, but will continue to
be open to the public for hunting
and fishing in accordance with the
laws of the state in which they are
situated. All their resources will be
available for the public under reas-
enable conditions. Another point
which l wish to emphasize is that
we are not going to take from peo-
pie their homes in order to put the
lands into national forests"
The arease within which offers
of land are desired and are set forth
in detail in the circular of the For
est service. The approximate loca-
ton of these arease is as follows, al.
though Secretary Wilson warns
those wishing to offer land that they
should first secure the circular in or
der to see whether their holdings
fall within the more detailed areas
therein indicated:
In New Hampshire, lands in the
White Mountain region.
In Maine, lands in a portion of
Batchelder's Grant in Oxford coun-
ty.
In Maryland, portion of the
western part of Garrett county.
In Virginia, parts of Shenandoah,
Rockingham, southwestern Warren,

Address on AdverHSing'

by William c: Freeman. The Exponent Of Clean Advers
ing given the of the Associated Advertisers
OF America, in Boston Mass. week.l
(NEWsPAPERDoM)
Newspaper advertising and have been pals
for over twenty-six years, is the manner in which
William C. Freeman introduced himself at the
Boston meet. My faith in it is greater today
than it ever was. My respect for its wonderful
power increases every year.
Shall tell you why?
'Twenty-six years ago | represented daily
newspaper that had less than 900 circulation in
small town. felt that that little newspaper had
selling power, so persuaded the merchants to let
me try to put some human interest in their adver-
Using copy.
MY efforts as an advertisement writer we're
very crude, but insisted upon one thing-name-
ly, that whatever copy | wrote should represent
exactly the merchandise offered. AS crude as the
copy was it was interesting to the people because
it talked their talk; they understood it.
Merchants who had used white space just to
help out the proprietor of the newspaper "a COM
mon occurrence in small communities used it
without any idea that what they said in that
space would bring them much, if any, business
began to realize, after experimenting with the
new kind Of advertising, that advertising, the
kind that said something and meant it, paid.
That little newspaper with its small circula-
ton interested a thousand families in that COM
munity in the stores that advertised in its columns
and that thousand families, through their pur-
chases, started many of the merchants in that
community on the road to prosperity. That was
the beginning in that town of a real effort to
make real news of the advertisements that ap-
peared in the daily newspapers.
"A small newspaper with small circulation in
small community can do wonders toward the up
building of the business interests in that commu-
nifty. The lesson learned in that small town has
helped me all through my career as newspaper
advertising man.
My next effort in newspaper advertising was
getting business for weekly newspaper printed
in 8 suburb of big city. That was harder work,
but the same methods that were used in develop
ing advertising for the small daily in the small
town were applied to develop business for this
little weekly, with the result that the advertising
space used by the merchants was multiplied by
six inside OF year and the paper itself was in
creased in size three times within the same
period.
The merchants in that suburban town had
not realized the great power of their weekly news
paper until they commenced to advertise in it in a
human-interest way Then they realized that the
printed word IN a home newspaper, addressed-to
their ncighbors and friends in friendly, interest
ing, convincing way, was needed

that purpose; also the boys cooked
the rice for themselves. collecting the
fuel necessary from the neighboring
woods.
You see. the japanese diet is mostly
rice. and with rice as the main ration
the japanese soldiers whipped the
Russians. who are great meat eaters.
