LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE.

Lakeland Lodge 20, Loyal Order
of Moose, will be instituted In our
city within the next few days as
the material to form the lodge Is
made up of some sixty prominent
citizens and all that Is now wanted
is the big MOOSE, which is expected
to arrive daily by the Southern Ex-
press, to aid in 'horning" the new
herd.
One of the chief aims of the order
Is to be progressive, its rapid growth
and large membership being due to
the fact that the lodge is never al
lowed to grow stale and unattrac-
tive by adhering to forms and prac-
tices that the times have ceased to
approve. it is planned that both the
order and individual members shall
keep up with the onward and up
ward march of civilization, and for
the first time in the history of fra
ternal organizations the Loyal Or
der Of Moose. In convention at DE.
troit. Mich. last August, without
hesitation supported the proposition
to establish an industrial school to
provide for the education of the
children of brother Moose free, and
before the next convention in Au-
gust, 1912, $250.O0O will have been
invested for this purpose 1t is also
the purpose of the State Organizer
". Harry Gage to institute a Junior
Order of Moose, for the youths be-
tween the age of is and 2l years
which has for its motto the Amer
ican expression. Make Good" To
make good in the Moose sense is to
be prepared mentally and physically
so trained in thought and hand that
success. the goal of every ambitious
young man, can not fail of attain
ment.

Government Should Advertise.

If the government, which has now
gone into the banking business. wants
to make success OF its new enter
prise, it ought to follow the example
of other banks and advertise in the
newspapers, says the Burlington Qa.)
Hawkeye, The national and state
savings banks have found they can
create new business by publicity: by
telling the people of various advan-
tages to be gained by patronizing
their banks. The postal savings banks
have had the benefit of much prelimi-
nary announcement in the press, but
the proposition is new one, and
many people do not yet understand it.
Judicious newspaper advertising OF
the specialties of the postal savings
system would bring increased deposits
and popularize the new business. The
government, through its financial
agents, utilized the press to float its
great bond issues. The same policy
applied to the postal savings system
would bring similar desirable returns.

HOW KANSAS GETS PUBLICITY

Over Through Good Work Of
r. D. Coburn.

The value of advertising to the man
In commercial life is generally recog-
nized. and the phrase. 1T pays to ad
vertise." has become almost automatic.
Everybody advertises. and nobody
questions It's benefits.
The public, however, is just begin
ming to see that what holds true for
the individual is true as well of the
city and the state. Advertising along
these lines is as yet spasmodic. There
is little or none of 1t In the interest
OF the states, and what advertising has
been done to boost cities has been un-
dertaken almost entirely by private
bodies, such as commercial organiza-
tions. In the past few years a few
cities have undertaken systematic
campaigns and have gotten excellent
results.
Kansas has probably the most eff
cient publicity bureau OF any state in
the Union, and the credit for this is
due almost entirely to F. ID. Coburn.
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture. Mr. Coburn's business is to
tell the world about the agricultural
possibilities OF Kansas. and that he
does 1t is amusingly indicated by the
editorial squibs to be found in news
papers all over the country reciting
the wonders Of the state. Some Of the
mediums he employees to keep Kansas
