UPBUILDING THE TOWN.
BY Advertising in Barometer of Lo-
cal Industry, the NEWSPAPER.

If member of your family died,
would you print the resolutions on a
billboard?
If your wife entertained would
you send an account of it to the
theatre program man?
You would send such items to a
newspaper, wouldn't you?
Then why don't you put your
advertisements in newspaper?
Every man who uses a billboard
is adding to nature taking.
Every dollar spent in a theatre
program, in a register, in directory
or in a handbill is a legitimate dol
lar taken away from the newspapers
of your town.
The newspapers build your town.
Why not help build up the newspa-
pers? There is no better advertise
ment in the world for a town than a
good newspaper. A newspaper is the
barometer of the towns industry.
Show us a good newspaper, full of
advertising, and we will show you a
good town, full OF live merchants.

grams are worthless; hotel registers,
from an advertising standpoint, are
ridiculous.
Newspapers are town builders,
town advertisers, fortune makers,
news disseminators, sermon deliv-
erers, prosperity forecasters. They
are a necessity, not luxury. They
must be maintained. Without them
we would retrograde to the med
iaeval days.
Don't patronize them from char

WAYMART.

The wyoming conference which
lust closed its annual session at
Wilkes-Barre, made but few changes
in pastors, but one Of the changes
which will be felt very keenly by
church and congregation is the re-
moval of Rev. r. G. Burch as pastor
Of the Waymart charge. The people
have become very much attached to
him during his three years of sue
cessful ministry at this place, and his
departure will be regretted exceed
ingly in social and religious circles
His unique personality won for him
the appointment to the Chaplaincy OF
the State Hospital at Farview which
position he filled very credibly. The
best wishes for success go with Rev
and Mrs. Burch in the field of la
Dor at Factoryville.

Reported to Youngstown.
Fred Schuerholz, of this place,
known in base ball as Pitcher Sherry
has signed his contract and reported
to the Youngstown team, Central

with the Utica team, having tried to
buy his own release after Manager
O'Neill had offered two pitchers for
him and failed in the deal. Sherry
for time threatened to quit base
ball unless he was given a chance
to get away from Youngstown and
catch on with State league team,
but he has since reconsidered his de-
cision.
Sherry is one of the best curve

than in the news departments, because, as he
wittily puts it, 'the advertising section contains
more news than the news section" This inter-
estingness of ads is especially demonstrated dur
ing the holiday season when the housewife will
read them more carefully than any other part
of news sheet.
But many who acknowledge that ads are
good reading, argue that they should be dis
pensed with because they increase the cost of
living. Advertising they declare, produces moth
ing, and is simply another of those holdups be-
tween the original producer and the ultimate
consumer, and may be dispensed with entirely.
The facts of the case, however, do not sup
port this view.
By of advertising, manufacturer is
enabled to standardize his product and to have
it sell the country over at uniform price. This
tends to steady the market by preventing fluctu-
ations large numbers of articles. It also
makes shopping easier. Before the days of ad-
vertising the good old rule of LET the buyer be-
ware" held in all kinds of merchandising. Owing
to the uncertainty of purchasing every sale
meant deal of dickering and 'jewing" up anc
down. Because of this, women and children
were unable to do much marketing for the fam,
lily, state of affairs which meant that men were
compelled to take their time in doing what chill
dren can now do since standardized articles are
the rule. One can order goods over the phone
and be absolutely certain of what will be re-
ceived. This alone means great saving both tt
the merchant and the buyer.
But more than this, advertising has increased
the demand for goods This means an enlarge
ment of the market for every manufacturer, ane
thus has made possible to considerable extent
the expansion of industry Increasing the de-
mand has lowered the cost per unit of marketing
and manufacturing.
The ad is a modern form of travelling sales
man. One manufacturer inaugurated a campaign
of publicity and received response so immedi
ate that he was enabled to reduce the cost Of
production per article, cut his travelling men
commission from ten per cent to five percent
and still enabled them to make more money, ant
reduced the wholesale price of his commodity
three per cent

''Beasley's Christmas Party"

Not one of those revamped, made-to-order
fancy holiday books is "Beasley's Christmas
Party" Would that the gods had steered it our
way bit sooner Willingly we should have de-
voted whole columns in trying to get folks to
read it; indeed we should! and with never care
as to what had become of our editorial dignity
the while. What are financial panics, lnterna-
tiona politics, presidents, and the like, when
such books as "Beasley's Christmas Party" come
slipping around!
1t isn't very long volume very deep,
but it carries a weighty load nevertheless. Its
straightforward, first person. newspapery narra-
tive fills up every we'll of emotion before reader
has come in out of the snoWstorm into the
warmth of that amazing Christmas party at the
end of it. The great eyes of the queer little
cripple shining like stars through it, and the
permeating geniaty of that untalkative, kindly,
loose -jointed Dave Beasley would thaw out old
Scrooge himself.
Scrooge! Exactly! There is Scrooge in it
of peculiarly modern type; and Tiny Tim in
it too, for Hamilton Swift, Jr., is another little
cripple with "God bless us every one" in his
soul. The whole story is another "Christmas
Carol" less luminous, less highly coored carol,
but true carol just the same, and one that will
hold its own, if our critical apparatus is in good
working order, with Dickens own.
And one of the best things about it is that
the story is written by Hoosier, Booth Tarking-
ton. The tale will surely serve, sooner of later,
as another permanent stone in that proud monu-
ment now being built by Indiana genius.
If you think all this spill-over is merely one
more example of editorial hyperbolism, get a
copy at your first opportunity and try it out on
yourself. But for your own good, don't start in
on it while important duties are pressing, be-
cause it might prove dsastrous-to the duties

THE LAND OF HEARTS DESIRE

The blue Hgean girds chosen home,
With ever-changing sound and light and FOAM
kissing the sifted sands, and caverns hoar;
And all the winds wandering along the shore
Undulate with the undulating tide;
There are thick woods where sylvan forms abide;
And many fountain, rivulet, and pond,
AS clear elemental diamond,
Or serene morning air; and far beyond
The messy tracks made by the boats and deer
(Which the rough shepherd treads but once a year,
Pierce into glades, caverns and bowers halls
Built round with ivy, which the waterfalls
Iluminng. with sound that never fails
Accompany the MONDAY nightingales
And all the place is peopled with sweet airs;
The light clear element which the isle wears
Is heavy with the scent of lemon-flowers
Which floats like mist laden with unseen showers
And falls upon the eyelids like faint sleep.
Shelley.

A Vile Show.

The law of Indiana specifies that theatres
may operate on Sunday if a certain portion of
the proceeds are turned over to a charitable Or
ganization. The spirit of the measure is that
theatres should not be open at all, but that in
cases where certain clubs or charitable societies
find it most convenient to have an exhibition on
Sunday they may do so.
But number of playhouses over the state
have taken refuge behind the charity clause to
open on Sunday as other days. They break
it's spirit but keep it's letter..
A year or so ago proprietors of local moving
picture houses fell in line with proprietors in
other cities and began giving Sunday exhibitions
A small percentage of the receipts are turned
to various philanthropic organizations in
the city, though it may be presumed the man.
ayers don't bankrupt themselves in doing.
Owing to the fact that Richmond is usually
dull place on Sundays, and that many are driven
to seek other forms of amusements more ques-
tionable, majority of local citizens approved
the innovation, and have since given the Sunday
theatre their support.
But these citizens have every right to expect
that when they enter a moving picture theatre
on the Sabbath they will be entertained with
play somewhat suited to the day. It was be-
cause they have confidence that local managers
would satisfy this sense of fitness that consent
was given for Sunday exhibitions in the first
place.
With what shock of surprise and anger did
the patrons of the Murrette theatre witness that
salacious and indecent picture shown there last
Sunday! 1t was insulting, degrading and vicious,
a violation of the confidence imposed in the
managers by the public, and blasphemous out
rage on the Sabbath day. A troup of street fa-
kris were forbidden to give their show at the
Fall Festival last October for an exhibition far
less suggestive and insulting.
Those who chanced to be sitting among
the more respectable class at the Murrette ex-
hibition, who did not reveal their breeding by
hooting and groaning when the scene was shown
felt as almost by physical contact the heat of
anger which surged up in those whose sense of
decency had been so violated. 1t would be a
good thing if the fire of that indignation would
wax hot enough to burn the managers fingers,
or, better still, his pocketbook. Perhaps he
wouldn't be so free to take liberties with his pa
irons.

A MYTH

A floating, floating
Across the sleeping sea-
All night heard a singing bird
Upon the topmast tree.
"Oh, came you from the isles of Greece
Or from the banks of Seine;
Or off some tree in forests free,
Which fringes the Western main?"
Il came not off the old world,
Nor yet from off the new
But am one of the birds of God
Which sings the whole night through"
'|Oh, sing and wake the dawning-
Oh, whistle for the wind;
The night is long, the current strong,
My boat it lags behind
THE current sweeps the old world,
The current sweeps the new;
The wind will blow, the dawn will glow,
Ere thou hast saild them through.
