Thoughts on the War



The year 1914 seemed the
greatest in the worlds history.
Finance commerce, literature the
arts and sciences, inventions Of
the most marvellous, all combined
seemed to make man indeed the
greatest creation of God! En-
dowed with brain and Drawn to
conceive and carry into execu

making it one of the wonders of

any number of other devices
equally marvellous. The Prince
of Peace seemed to veild a NIGH

and contentment and happiness
seemed to reign supreme-no dis
agreements between nations was
apparent, and great wings of
the Dove of Peace seemed to
to reach out and take the world
under its protecting care-Amer-
lea under a wise Democratic rule
was prospering-a all differences
existing between the North and
South were wiped out, and with
the east and the west were pull

The summer was waning and men
were rejoicing in anticipation Of,
the harvest, a. realization of their
dreams of peace and plenty
when 10! in the twinkling of an
eye the world was plunged into a
bloody war. 1t seemed impossi-
BILE with all the evidences OF
content and prosperity that be-
hind the curtain there was sucI,

the business of destruction. They
leave. the plow, the. saw, the pen
and seize the rifle, the bayonet.

Homes are made desolate, wo-

BUSINESS FOR THE OPTIMIST
Advertising Men However Should Not
Make Statements That Are Over.
Broad or Over-Confldent.

"The advertising business" says
well-known expert in an eastern pub
lication, "is business for the opti
mist rather than for the pessimist,
but it is likely that advertising men
sometimes hurt rather than help the
cause of advertising by making over
broad and over-confident statements,
by making the claim that advertising
at any and all times always pays
Such so-called truisms as those de-
claring that the amount one should
spend depends merely on the amount
of new business he wants, that per
sistence always brings big cumulative
dividends etc, are certainly not be.
lieved by those who have had ex-
perience Keen discrimination as to
plan, medium, copy, time of adver-
tising, etc, Is needed. and even then
the campaign must be watched close
ly If wastes are to be reduced to
minimum. To encourage a business
man to go at advertising blindly in
supreme faith that the outcome will
be right anyhow Is to run the risk Of
killing the goose that lays the golden
eggs"

LITTLE PEAT FUEL IN USE
United States Is Rich in the Material
But 1t Does Not Seem to Be
In Demand.

While the United States Is the rich.
est country in the world in deposits of
peat, little active work is being done
in mining or digging 1t, and so far as
is known very few Of the peat fuel
plants established have gone beyond
the experimental stage, and many OF
them have never been equipped with
essential machinery. Reports from all
known peat fuel plans in the United
States, according to Charles A. Davis
in his Mineral Resources in 1912, show
that with one exception they were idle
during the summer that year.
The only plant reporting productions
made are dried cylindrical peat blocks
which, when thoroughly dry, were
about six inches long and two inches
In diameter, dense and hard and stood
handling WELL The output Of peat fuel
was reported as about 1900 tons, VAL
ued at $4,450. All Of this peat was
sold.
The production of peat for fertilizer
was, so far as reported in 1912, 41,O80
short tons, of which about 5000 tons
was reported as sold air dried, that Is,
not dried by artificial heat. The value
of this material at the selling prices
reported was $1S6, 6,522.-Coal Age.

NOM ADVERTISER
SOON FORGOTTEN
People Buy From Merchants Who
Advertise, Being Largely Con-
troI|ed by What They Read.

In the main, advertising is COM
mercial proposition. Advertising space
is sold as a commodity. Considered
In its narrowest d .ect, 1t does not
differ materially from ''oots and shoes,
hats and caps. In its broader enects,
it concerns the public vitality. Adver-
tising is one of the agencies Of dis
tribution, and the public regards 1t as
such.
The people buy the commodities
that are advertised, as they absorb
the opinions that are advertised. The
average citizen Is the average consum-
er He has little time or disposition
to get his information at first hand,
and therefore his actions are con-
troled to large extent by what he
reads.
Statistics show that between $780,
100000 and $700,000,OO0 is spent IN
this country annually for advertis-
ing
Before the days when advertising
had gained so notable foothold, the
sale of goods by the manufacturer
or jobber was promoted by the COM
mercial traveller, who appealed not to
the consumer, but to the merchant.
Today conditions are changed. The
people demand the best and cheapest
in the market. The merchant who
depends upon routine business to un-
load his stock never can pass beyond
the country-store level OF progress
or success.
The public, demanding the latest
weaves, the latest styles and the latest
brands of merchandise, places the up
to-date merchant under constant
necessity Of keeping his goods NOV
ing and of keeping his shelves clear
for the newest offerings Of the cen,
trail markets This means that h
must keep In close touch with tn
public and must, from time to time,
put on special sales at reduced priceS
in order to get rid of old stock and
make room for the new which l.,
knows, but which his customers gei!-
orally do not know, Is coming T.
reach the public the newspapers OLE
the only direct means OF commune"
tion on short notice sales.
The progressive, wide-awake mel
chant advertises because he knows it
pays to do so. To those who deny
the value Of publicity as applied tC
merchandise, the answer Is this: De
livery wagons are daily loaded with
advertised commodities. A meritori-
Gus article that is not known has no
sale. The facts prove 1t, and that Is
why more than $600,000,000 is spen;
annually in this country for adver!is,
ing. The bigger the concern, the
greater Its facilities for handling
goods the more extensively 1t adSer.
tises.
The merchants who had nothing to
say to the public Is soon forgotten by
the public He is credited by the eN,
perienced shopper with having nothing
on hand but shop-worn goods, pur-
chased at receivers or sheriffs, sales
and offered to the public at prices
charged by the progressive merchant,
who does advertise.
The merchant who does not advel-
tise Is only one step removed from
the street "fakir" who disposes OF
his unknown wares to unknown Gus
toners, counts his profits and makes
his getaway.

WOULD PLANT SHRUBS LATE
Writer Upsets Widely Held Theory
Concerning the Advantages OF
an Early Start.

One Of the results of modern 70
search work, as applied to the garden
and allied subjects, has been the
proof that the old time theory that
planting could be done only In the
early spring and late fall Is wrong.
writes Samuel A. Hamilton In the
Country Gentleman. Modern horticul-
turists plant something almost every
month from the time when the snow
goes in the spring until 1t comes In
midwinter. There is a distinct advan-
tage in this lengthenng Of the plant.
Ing season. for by 1t the rush and the
consequent Indifferent work are avoid
ed 1t Is only lately that we have
learned the safe planting Of the hardy
shrubs may be done in the latter part
of the summer. | am OF the ponion
that under identical care better re-
suits will be had then than II the
planting is done In spring and fall.
The planting Of shrubs In midsum-
mer ful1lls all the conditions presup-
posed by the theory Of old-that trees
and shrubs could not be planted sue
cessfully during the season of growth;
for this season in the temperate re-
gions does not cover the time from
frost to frost as 1t Is commonly sup
posed. A shrub does not grow when
1t puts out foliage in the spring.
Growth of foliage is not growth of the
shrub. There Is no growth OF the
shrub until the roots have sent sub
stance to the buds and formed full
sized leaves which metamorphose the
sap and send 1t again to the roots.
whence 1t goes into the buds and
forms tissue. This takes several
weeks and some shrubs require
month before they start to grow.
Prior to this 1t Is safe to plant them.
During the succeeding period OF
growth planting can be done under
controlled conditions, and as most OF
the shrubs have made their growth by
mid-August or a week later, 1t Is safe
to plant them any time thereafter

AdvertIsInu Does Paw.

Does newspaper advertising pay!
We say yes, decidedly so, and have
the proof in the case of a Rochester
(Minn) man. Lonely and sad, he
sought a helpmeet In his home, but
without success. He then resorted
to the last hope, newspaper advertis-
ing. In Arkansas a lonely maid, hav-
ing a similar desire to wed, read the
advertisement and quickly responded.

right hand being the token Of identity.
Immediately securing justice of the
peace, the couple were married. Yes,
advertising pays.

Advertising
Talks
ADVERTISED GOODS
CERTIFY QUALITY
Their Purchase Is Buying Under
the White Light of Public
Scrutiny.

Advertised goods are goods the
quality of which has been certified.
The public looks at them much as 1t
looks at a certified check. 1t knows
that good money has been put into
them, so that the merchant has faith
that they will prove satisfactory.
The business world is full Of cheats
and frauds. The public has many
times been disappointed. even In buy
ing goods of merchants supposed to be
reliable. Hence it's attitude is one OF
great suspicion. not 80 much perhaps
of the honesty of the merchant, as to
whether he really knows his goods
and has tested them out.
Under these circumstances, adver-
tising is the determining factor that
convinces the questioning mind The
buyer argues that If the seller has
faith enough to subject his goods to
the scrutiny of advertising publicity,
If he has faith enough to spend money
telling people about them, he must
have tried them out thoroughly, and
must know positively that they will
give satisfaction. 1t regards any
knowing deceit under these circum-
stances as inconceivable
AS a result of this public attitude.
the merchant understands that his
faith and reputation are staked on the
fulfillment of his advertising pledges.
That Is why modern advertising Is
so very truthful A lie In an adver-
tisement would mean a peck Of trou-
Bile. while lie over the counter would
be known to but one person. When a
merchant disposes of line OF goods
through advertising, he Is careful to
let the public know what the real
value Is, so that there shall be no
come back.
Thus buying advertised goods Is
buying under the white light Of pub
lie scrutiny. The merchant goes
shares with you on your purchase.
You have bought his wares. but he
has paid down the cost of the goods
and the cost of the advertising to buy
your satisfaction. When you buy
under these conditions, you know
something about what you are get
ting.

In Excuse.

Matilda, maid of all work, had re-
ceived a letter from friend whom
she greatly admired for her intellect
ual attainments. With glowing pride
she placed the epistle in the hands OF
her young mistress, very clever
high school girl, and, as the latter In
diligently perused the ungrammatical
but copperplate effusion, she kept up

Equaiizing Things.

Two Irishmen arranged to fight a
duel with pistols. One of them was
distinctively stout and when he saw
his lean adversary facing him he
raised an objection.
"Bedad," he said, I'm twice as big
a target as he is, SO | ought to stand
twice as far away from him as he Is
from me-"
"Be aisy now," replied his second.
"Ill soon put that right"
Taking a piece of chalk from bis
pocket he drew two lines down the
stout mans coat, leaving space be-
tween.
"Now," he said, turning to the 9th
er man, "fire away, ye spalpeen, and
remember that any hits outside that
chalk line don't count"

tions at Waterloo. The houseboats
are the elaborate flower Of that ugly
plant called civilization. They stand
for the comfort, the luxury, the high
standard, of England; which, even in
its lower walks of life, offers similar
prizes, similar complications, luxuries
unknown abroad. One says to one
