Work Accidents in Iowa.

The railways and mines of this
state took the lives of 1,l44 worn
men and inflicted 1853 injuries upon
employees during the decade from 1901
to 1911 If the factory and building
accidents reported to the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics since 1906 may be
taken as guide, such accidents must
have caused an additional 100 deaths
and at least 10000 injuries during the
ten year period. Taking the returns
at their face value, not far from 125
deaths and 5000 injuries annually oc-
eur in the capitalistic industries of
Iowa. But the returns Of the Bureau
OF Labor Statistics are probably in
complete. More than 5000 injuries
causing disability for more than one
week were reported to the Industrial
Commission of Wisconsin during the
twelve months ending on June sc,
1912. During the first eight months CT
the current year 6,9S5 work accidents

thraci.e coal companies have been by
far the chief benefciaries OF the

enormously by this increase in
prices both in the case of those com

ADVERTISING PULLS.

|. There is an old proverb setting
forth the homely truth that 1t take,
constant pounding to hammer home
nail. This is simply forceful and
picturesque way of saying that one
impression is often not sufficient to
pound home fact.
OF course the man who first put
this proverb in writing had never
heard of advertising, bu. the truth
fits the advertising situation like a
glove. One advertisement seldom
pays. Two or even dozen advertise
ments are likely to prove a losing
proposition. In fact, it may be doubt
ed if in a general field a few adyer-
tisements of staple brand of mer
chandise-pape for instance ever
pay in direct returns for the space
they occupy But advertising does
pay in the long run.
| 1t takes time for train of heavy
Pullmans to get under way. And 1t
takes time for advertising to produce
selling effort that can actually be
felt. But Just as surely as the en-
CINE pulls the train out of the yard,
so will properly planned advertising
sell goods. Such advertising gathers
momentum as it goes, just like a
train And whoever connects up his
own selling effort with advertising
that is under way and running at tor
speed is sure to find that he makes
sales easier and that his own efforts
counts for more. Such is the cumu-
lative effect Of advertising.
