COST OF ADVERTISING.
1t is Found That Money JudiciOusly
Spent Reduces Cost of Getting
Goods to Consumer.

Who pays the cost of advertising?
The Bureau of Corporations of the
United States Is investigating the
subject of the value of advertising,
and trying to determine how far it
is economically profitable, and whe-
ther it costs the public anything. 1t
will no doubt lie found that money
ljudiciously spent in advertising re-
duces the cost of getting the goods
to the consumer.
The highest selling costs are found
in the store where sales are slow.
When merchant doubles sales, By
letting the public know about his
goods, he usually adds but very lit
tie to the expense for sales force.
The overhead expense, such as taxes
insurance, heat, light, and rent, are
increased but little, if any. Conse-
quently the charge that has to be
made to each article to pay clerk
hire and overhead expense is reduc-
ed. A merchant can afford to SELL
for less money, meanwhile making
a larger profit for himself.
If there were no advertising, buy
ing would be very heavy at the height
of the season, and would drop of
more than it now does between the
rush periods. The most economical
agency for distributing goods is one
that keeps along somewhat the same
from one month to another. Adver-
Using informs people that there arc
special bargains at mid season peri
DDS. 1t teaches people that by wait
ing for those periods, they can make
economies. That tends to equaliZe
retail trade, AMI saves the necessity
for extra expense during rush peri
DDS.
Advertising performs all that could
be accomplished by house to house
solicitation and at far less cost. 1t
visits a hundred homes and talks TO
the inmates thereof, while solicitor
could enter but one. Advertising
then is not an extra charge added to
the cost of the goods. 1t is simply
a part of the normal selling expense,
reducing the cost Of the sales force.

"Ell Go III You'll Co."

Say that to some friend when yor
leave him. Saturday night. OF course
YOU will mean that you will go to
church Sunday If he will go too.
That's fine way to start off. If you
are undecided as to which church to
attend, select the one your mother
wrong. Any fellows mothers reli-
gion ought to be good enough for
him. So next Sunday give up the
lazy hour in bed Have your best
clothes ready. Put them on and
start out with your head up and
your shoulders back. You're doing
one of the best things you ever did in
your life and if you keep it up you
will never be sorry And you'll be
surprised to see how good it feels to
be in church. And above all things,
if there is congregational singing,
SING. Don't merely hold the book
and bluff az singing. Fill up your
lungs and let out the music. You'll
know it, all right. You may have
forgotten the words but the tune
never. Why your mother used to
sing it! She will be a happy wo
man when she knows that her boy
was at church.

A sentence az hard labor in a

RAILROAD TRAMP PROBLEM.
Sentence of Hard Labor Has Won
derfully Enlightening Effect
on the Vagrant Mind.

1t is a common practice among
police and court officials all over the
country, to let Migrants off without
sentence if they VIII get out of town
within "a hours. In some places the
town officers escort the wayfarers to
the railroad yards, and personally
see them aboard freight car.
AS a result the railroad tramp
evil grows year by year. Signals are
recklessly tempered with, trains are
stoned, trainmen are assaulted or in
Inundated.
The result is that tramps wander
freely along the railroads. They go
from one end 10 the other of some
lines by paying 80 cents to a train
man. A dispatch from San Bernar-
dino, Cal, few days ago, told how
SO tramps on their annual winter
tour toward Los Angeles, overpow-
cred a crew, and operated freight
car running across the Mojave des-
ert.
The free freight car ride has come
to seem so easy that many workmen
steal rides to ard from their jobs.
Frequently they are hurt, as the re-
suit of risks taken. One more S
added to the burden of cripples that
some one has to support.
The tramp infested railroads
could be rid of this nuisance, If the
towns along the route would coop
crate. Nothing IS gained by moving

Tie EN- up for torture,
Heap weird, heap awful sight,
But that's all done, we're peaceable,
The savage now is white.
We used to sneak upon 'em
An kill 'em in the night,
Or burn 'em at the stake,
An thought we served 'em right
White men named us savage"
Me tell it to EN- right,

That savage now is white.
White man kill 'em awful,
Machine guns NOW EN- down,
Pile 'em up in heaps,
Cover all the ground.
Call it glorious battle,
Kill 'em day and night,
But Indian heap much peaceable
The savage now is white.
Have it little quarrel,

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-That the
United States is entering on a new
era of prosperity; that the tariff had
nothing to do with the period OF bust
ness depre ession the country has OK
perienced and that he is in accord
with President Wilson's policy in the
Mexican situation are the high spots
in an interview given to-day by An
drew Carnegie.
You must remember" he said,
that no country travels ahead al a
uniform pace. Every nation must
have its period Of activity and times
when commerce moves at a slow
pace.
Il do not believe the new tariff
has had anything TO do with the bust
ness depression. | believe that in time
the reduction Of the tariff will work a
benefit for the American exporter,
II wish we never had anything to
do with Mexico he continued. But
while there is life there is hope. We
should not interfere with the Mexican
people in their choice for President.
Hands off is my idea.
Experience proves that when a
stranger interferes in a quarrel he
gets the worst of it, our President
is doing his best, We must not say or
do anything that will restrict his free
