aMoVIE" MACHINES
FOR ALL CHURCHES
Prominent Religious Authorities See
This as Necessary Part OF Equip
ment In Next Few Years.

The Lookout, a religious Sunday
school psper, published at Cincinnati,
Ohio. recently had an excellent SYM
postum on the beneficial use OF the
motion picture in connection with
religious instruction.
In current number OF the Chris
tfan Evangelist, religious paper of
the Disciples OF Christ published at
st Louis, Mo-, there are number of
articles in connection with the use OF
the motion picture in religious work.
Both OF these publications are ardent
advocates Of the extended use OF the
moving picture in connection with
SUNDAY school and church work. They
argue that eightylf1ve percent of all
our knowledge is gained through the
eve. and that we are just beginning
to enter upon new period OF educa-
tional advantages through the use of
the eye.
One OF the writer's in illustrating
the way In which moving pictures
make their impression, states that an
English class in one Of the large
state universities was recently asked
to write an essay on any subject
which the members of the class might
desire. When the essays were writ
ten. It was found that large major
ity Of the entire class had written an
ESSAY based upon some theme con-
nected with moving pictures.

How Do You Buy Your Goods

The following editorial from the
Omaha World-Herald is applicable to
Keokuk and The Gate City hopes that
all the patrons Of this paper will read
it. In order to make the editorial
have q stronger local effect We sub
stitute Keokuk and The Gate City for
Omaha. The editorial, however, Is
the product Of the World-Herald Of
fee.
At all times OF the year, but par
ticularly at this time, Keokuk people
are circularized by New York and
Chicago houses with an invitation to
meet a representative with samples
at designated hotel on a specified
date, and take advantage OF the mar
yelous bargains he will be offering.
In Justice to the Keokuk merchants,
in Justice to Keokuk as whole, ana
particularly for the benefit OF keokuK
people who by attractive circulars are
lured into patronizing such dealers,
The Gate City desires to say rev
plain words on the subject.
When you make your pur0hases OF
an established Keokuk business firm
you know from whom you are buying.
You know exactly what you are buy
ing. You get the identical article
you pay for. You are reasonably as
sured OF a square deal If the article
does not prove satisfactory you may
expect that the merchant Will make
the deal satisfactory. You are trad
ing with q firm that Is doing business
in Keokuk. doing 1t every day, that
expects to continue doing business
here, and that must depend on lalr
dealing and satisfied customers lot
its success.
When you make your purchases OF
a gilt-edged peddler you are dealing
with peddGer. even II he does en-,
gage expensive rooms at hotel anu
even if he is heralded by expenslvely
engraved stationery. You are buying
os firm hundreds OF miles distant
OF which you know little or notning.
You are buying by sample. You are
b,,ying of a house that does business
in Chicago or New York where the
cost of doing business IS as great, II
not greater, than in Keokuk. You are
posstblv having peddled to you, ana
pushed on your attention, articles IN
tended to be dumped" on the coun-
try trade" The chances are you are
not getting as good an article as you
would get in Keokuk for the same
price. If it isn't satisfactory Wheh
YOU get it, you have little hope OF re-
dress. except at much trouble and an
noyance. You are buying OF an agent
to whom the chief consideration Is
the immediate profit to be realized OIL
the pending deal. When you buy OF
. Keokuk merchant his chief consid.
Grafton is so to please you, and SO 70
keen you pleased. as to make you q
steady customer. The profit on any
single purchase is with this keokuk
merchant a very minor consideration
