Many people seem to think that a
single announcement is sufficient
advertising. Those who think so,
should study the lesson contained in
the advertising campaign which
the Curtis Publishing Com pany is
now making through the newspapers.
This company has three mediums of
Its own the Saturday Evening Post,
The Ladies' Home Journal and The
Country Gentleman-with a combined
circulation Of nearly 1000, 600 (think
OF 1t, four million)-and to reach the
People they are spending thousands OF
dollars for space In newspapers. And
they are paying Is and 20 cents, net
cash upwards per inch per issue with
without a bubble, and furnishing
~electrotypes ready for the forms with
the simple addition of agents name.
The Curtis Publishing Company has
built up one Of the largest and finest
plants In the world by the simple use
OF two things: making periodicals OF
pleasing quality and everlastingly
advertising the fact. II the Curtis
Publishing Company a use our
space proitably for the advertisement
OF a single article that sells for 5 cents
a week or $3.50 per year, how much
more proitably AN the same space
be used by the local dealer, who has
hundreds Of articles that the same
readers purchase regularly. The
average local dealer has not yet realiz-
ed the tremendous advantage the
county weekly gives him in building
up a substantial and profitable trade
with the people of his own community.
The reason, perhaps, that he has not
realized this Is because he is an average
dealer when he realizes it he will
cease to be numbered among the
average.-Brookings Press.

PRESIDENT WILSON, IN PERSON,

CURRENCY LEGIsLATIoN
Says ACTION MUST Be TAKEN NOW
Preparations MADE to Begin Work on
Administration BiII-Need New
Banking Laws and Right

Washington.-A fixed determinati
to have currency legislation passed at
this session of congress was accented
by the members of the house and SEN
ate as President Wilson's text for the
currency message, which he personal
~ presented Monday to congress- as
sembled in joint session in the house
chamber. '
Both Democrats and Republicans

which soon will be introduced in the
mouse by Representative Carter Glass
and in the senate by Senator Owen.
From the rostrum of the house
chamber the president read the brief
message.
1T plainly is Clear" he said, that it
Is our duty to supply the new banking
and currency system the country
needs and that it will immediately
need more than ever.
Must Act Now

rifice to ourselves. 1t is a duty which
the circumstances forbid us to post

ton did not impress it upon you with
solemn and urgent insistence."
The president defied the custom of
100 years for the second time by de-
livering the message in person.
A joint committee led by Majority
Leader Underwood and Senator Kern
met the president and escorted him to
the clerks desk on the rostrum.
Bill This Week.
At both house and senate ends of
the capitol and among both Democrats
and Republicans the conviction was
deeply fixed tonight that the presi-
dents solemn and earnest insistence"
on currency will result in immediate
activity in the legislative branch. The
bill will go into both houses this week.
Many Republican senator's were of
the opinion that. the presidents mes
sage was a flat declaration congress
must act at once on the currency ques-
ton. They believe it sets forth the
presidents position, as being so posi-
tive on that point that he would call
another extra session of congress if
necessary to dispose of the matter.
Although house caucus has been
called for this week, it is probable that
it will not take any definite action on
the currency bill.

SPEAKER CLARK ALARMED
EMIGRATION FROM U, s
Declares II 10 Costing Uncle Sam Mil.
lions Of Dollars Year-ls for Bet
ter Homestead Laws.

Washington-While committees OF
both houses of congress are preparing
to press immigration reforms at the
next session, Speaker Clark is giving
attention to the other side of the Ques.
ton. Emigration, the speaker said in
q recent statement, is costing the Uni.
ted States millions of dollars year in
actual money. aside from the loss in.
vOlved In giving up an American to be
replaced by foreign immigrant.
1T Is high time," said Mr.. Clark,
that more attention be paid to the in
fluence of emigration upon our future.
These Americans who are leaving
the United States understand our in
situations, our ways and our aspira.
tions, while most of the immigrants
have to be taught these things.
In one week not long since, 1845
American farmers with $3S8,5O0 in
cash and $145,000 in personal property,
crossed into western Canada, to settle
in British North America That Is an
average of $288 per capita and that
week was below the weekly average
into that region alone. How many go
to other countries l do not know.
These emigrants are among our
best citizens. l am personally ac-
quainted with 200 or 800 of them.
There is not bad or shiftless man
in the lot. They are seeking to bet
ter their conditions. They ALMOST in
variably take their families with them.
The principal reason they expatriate
themselves is the lure Of cheaper lands
and less stringest land laws as to
homesteading, etc.
Congress should make our home
stead conditions as easy as possible,
compatible with safety, and should in
crease the area for home building by
judiciious encouragement by both ir-
rigation and drainage. A statistician
has figured that the average adult cit
izen is of money value Of $1,000, con-
sidered solely as an asset to the coun-
try. II this is true, the 1845 American
farmers who crossed the Canadian
boundary depleted the assets of the re-
public that week by $2,378, 500, which
multiplied by So would make the grand
total of loss to the republic $123,682,.
