SAYS NEWSPAPER ADS BEST Banker Deciares Better Rssults Como Than When Maoaxlnes Ars
 Used.

Newspapers were pronounced far superior to magazines as an advertis- ing medium by F. o. March of E. B. Smith ( Co.,. bankers. in An address on Financial Advertising" at . round table luncheon of the Poor Richard club. Philadelphia. the other day.
 Experiments have recently been made by New York frms. Mr. March said. in advertising with syndicated and individual newspapers in most of the big centers of the country. The carefully tabulated record of results shows that heavier and quicker re- sponse came from the newspapers than from similar advertising placed with magaxines.
 Financial advertising has changed considerably in recent years" said MT March. Financial houses are coming to realize that bonds and stocks are subject to the same laws of distribution and sale as potatoes They accordingly are not satisfied with merely inserting . card in the paper calling attention to the number of years they have been in business. but specifically state why the bonds they offer are best
 Mr March pointed out that adver- Easements in old city directories show that only short time ago the card advertisement was not used by the grocer. He said that bankers usually balk at more blatant methods of dis playing their wares on ethical grounds
 Having determined the nature of the advertising" continued Mir. March. where 1t shall be placed be- comes the next problem. We have found that the newspapers are by far the best mediums"

Opening of City Schools

The Brinkley High School will open Monday. Oct.6. All chil- dren of Monroe County eligible to the high school grades will be given free tuition in the city high school. This is an oppor- tunity fer children in the country districts who have completed the grammar school grades to finish the high school course without extra expense.
 The school board and teachers request that all patrons of the school make a special effort to get the pupils started on the opening day and see that they are prompt and regular in attend ance. The curriculum of the Brinkley High School compares favorably with any school in the state, and those who have child ren of school age should cooper ate with teachers and school board in making the l9l3-14 term the most successful in the history of the school.

ed. I want to make this extra
 money. You see when one has
 growing girls, there is so much
 to do for the sake of appearances.
 They are constantly wanting
 things that the other girls have
 and so we all three have to work for it.
 ''Now that the fall is coming they'll both need new suits; for their other ones have an old fashioned appearance and they naturally want the new styles. Many times, it is very hard to get them the little things they want and sometimes they think Pm unreasonable in refusing them, but being young the natural desire is to be dressed like the other girls and there you are.''
 And this mother went on to tell about the various little sacrifices she was called upon to make, 'to keep up appearances. :"
 Then there is the worker in the shop or the factory who must needs toll all day long. Often she foolishly goes without lunches for days in order to buy something dictated by fashion that will give her an appearance that seems desirable. Further we have the sorry spectacle of folks who plunge into debt, which causes them later hardship for the same reason.
 While fine plumage never did make fine birds and it must be admitted appearances count for much, and we do want to look our best, yet the question must be ever present-is it worth it in the long run? Is the satisfac- ton of appearance worth the price e of peaceful thoughts? Does pretty dress really com pensate for a feeling of hunger?
 In a word, does any sacrifice in the form of work and worry that is made to keep up a sem- blance of things, a shamming process, really bring as much pleasure as the comfort that comes with the knowledge that we have spent wisely and thus have not spent ourselves in the effort?
 Keeping up appearances IS only a temporary deluSl0n at best. By and by we are found out and little struggles for the sake of appearances, in reality bring more criticism than living quite within one's means, no matter how humble they may he
