For Church Advertising.

Had the newspaper existed and
been the factor in their day that it is
IN our day. Christ and his disciples
Gould have used it to the fullest eX-
Ant" were words uttered by Rev. John
a $ellington Hoag in a sermon at
he Calvary Baptist church, New Ha-
n. Conn.
$The theme under discussion was
taking the Church Known" and In
remarks Mr.. Hoag paid the above
Eibute to the power of the newspa-
ar. Added interest is created by the
fct that Mr.. Hoag is himself great
Aliever in the widest publicity, not
None for the commercial house, but
br the church as well.
4 In the discussion of the theme Mr.
a!oag stands at the head of the secu.
Er forces of modern life. The church,
Se said, that would adopt it's minis
ky to the cor dit ions of the age must
Mail itself of the services OF the daily

/. reaching the people and the church
SS not only warranted but practically
}mpeled by the conditions of the
age to use the newspaper in making
known it's work and in calling mems
attention to It,"

What Advertising Is.

Advertising Is the means by
which merchants or manufae-
turers may tel! a great number
Of people about the superior
quality of their seoda, the deslr-
ability of their merchandise an6
the reason It will be to your ad-
vantage to patronize them.
Advertising enables nner-
chants to brlRs hundreds and
thousands Of customers to their
gtoras. 1t enables them to do
q large volume of business at
minimum expense.
Advertising establishes the
confidence Of tho community,
makes new friends, keeps Odd
customers interested and brings
the news Of the store right Into
the customers homo.
The merchant who adveftlses
continuously appeals 10 all the
people In town, while the ner'
chant who does not advertise
e'ts within hle door and waits
for the people to find hsn out
Or accidentally drop In ae they
are passing.
Advertising ls such power
full selling force and business
builder that merchants who uee
1t are enabled to sell better
goods at the lowest prices. Read
the advertisements In the pa
pers closely and constantly ev-
cry day for proof.

&uman interest today? The greatest
document OF human interest today Is
the newspaper. What other piece Of
literature, ancient or modern, religious
or secular. is read by 80 many millions
of people seven days week, 365 days
a wear? None! The newspaper Is the
livest piece of printed matter in exist
ence. Time cannot wither nor custom
stale its infinite variety because time
and custom are the very life Of it's
contents. The newspaper is diary
OF the passing hour. 1t Is kaleido-
scope of human ambitions and sor-
rows, Of human triumphs and failures.
II is moving-picture show in print.
Il is each days act Of the great human
dramatic epilogue OF our yester-
days. the prologue of all our tomor-
rows. It is e chronicle of the world
at the time we live in It, and that 1s;
the most interesting time In the
world"

Rusinesa and Advertising.

Large department stores. whose ad-
vertisement managers study advertis-
ing from the advertising point Of view,
spend about three and one-half per
cent. of the gross business for adver-
tising The country merchant who is
fairly good advertiser spends about
one.thfrd of one per cent. for adver-
Using, and In a great many cases
thinks he is giving" something to
the newspaper at that. There are a
few who spend more than one-third
per cert, and a great many who spend
less and by hooking the country over
one will find that the man who is do
ing the most advertising is the one
who has the largest store and the
most tide Advertising and success
&c hand in hand.

There is an opinion that strong interests

OPPOSE CHECK CHARGES
Outside Bankers Meet and
Pass Resolutions.

The plan recently adopted by the New
York Clearing House Association for the
abolition Of collection charges on out Of
town checks was seriously discussed by
representatives OF the bankers associa-
lions Of New York. New Jersey. Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut At a meeting
yesterday at the Offices OF the American
Banking Association. Resolutions object
ing 10 the plan were passed II is claimed
that only about forty of the 1900 hanks
involved in the ruling. including those Of
Rhode Island. had accepted the conditions.
Only 3 per cent of the $50 banks in New
Jersey have subscribed 10 the terms, and
in view of this situation the following
resolution was passed:
In our opinion a satisfactory solution Of
this question would be an agreement by
the New York City banks to place on the
discretionary list such banking insttu-
tons IN New York. New Jersey. Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut
funds Immediately. and that the New
York banks shall conduct such transac-
lions through n clearing house by a
method similar in principle 10 that now so
effectually used by the banks of The Bos-
ton Clearing House Association.
4 copy Of the resolutions was inme-
diately sent 10 William Shcrer manager
Of the New York Clearing House Associa-
ton. 1t is understood that the Clearing
House has indicated fairly definitely that
It would stand by the present ruling.
However, among the representatives Of
the various state associations the consen-
sus of opinion seemed to be that in their
resolutions they had offered a plan which
would he 81 an advantage rather than n
detriment TO the Clearing House rules.
and that for the Clearing House commit
tee TO make the addition would be sim
pie matter. Under the regulations OF the
Clearing House the plan is to go into
effect March /. and the rule must stand
for a period of at least three months be-
fore being changed or amended.
Accompanying the resolutions was a re-
quest from the committee representing
the various state banking associations
that q conference be arranged with the
proper committee OF the Clearing House.
This committee is composed OF II. IL.
