AND PRINTERS INK DID 1T


Young man, advertise yourself and
your business"
This is Nathan l.. Amsters para
phrase on Horace Greeley's famous
epigram. He vouches for the efficacy
of his advice from personal experience.
Three years ago. he was a small stock
holder in the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific Railroad, who believed
that the financial powers governing
the system were looting it. To-day he
is chairman of the executive commit
tee of the road.
How was the seeming miracle per-
formed? Advertising, newspaper ad-
vertising, coupled with proper pub
licity. is Mr.. Amster's answer.
ITO what do you ascribe your mete-
oric rise?" he was asked.
"To advertising, daily paper adver-
tising," was the reply. 81 am a firm
believer in advertising, both for your
personal advancement as well as for
your business success.
when became convinced the Rock
Island properties ought to be paying
dividends instead of rapidly deteri-
Grating toward a receivership, / was
only little stockholder with few
hundred dollars invested. The idea
struck me of leaguing the small stock
holders together. l asked the COM
pany for a list of stockholders, but
was refused. L tried every way, but
couldn't get the names.
Then the thought of advertising
for them came to me. I started a cam
paign in the newspapers in every large
city in the country.
"My success was instantaneous
Stories were published in all parts of
the country telling of my fight. Grad
ually these small stockholders rallied
to the cause / was advocating.
with proxies from these people I
opened my fight. Many times l we
on the point of giving up. but printers
ink bridged the gap between my thou
sands of dollars opposed to the mil
lions of my opponents.
when the road was finally thrown
into the hands of receivers my oppo-
meats were gradually eliminated. Then
l was chosen TO head the new eXecu-
tive committee and my advertising
campaign was triumphant"
Mr.. Amster Is mentioned as the
probable next president of the road.
Is not the Hon. Bill Finn of Pitts
burgh confusing himself with the Colo
mel when he says THE rule of the
sea applies to me- I must be the last
man to leave the Progressive ship"?-

NNE profession that is not over
crowded in the United States is
~ that of radio operator. The
United States is always in need of
competent men for its increasing
wireless service, and in case of war it
would be a difficult matter to secure
enough professional operators for all
of the ships and stations. In that
emergency the governments only re-
source would be the quarter of a mil
lion amateur operators who are using
their own instruments in all parts of
the country with the permission and
under the supervision of the govern
ment service. Many of them are just
bungling beginners. of course, but
there are also lot of competent OPP
orators among them.

tional radio service gets a thorough
training with one of the largest and
most varied equipments in the world

CHRISTMAS TIME
BY Wing DInRer


There's one thing works upon m,
nerves
And often gets my goat
That's when from office to my home
Some bundles must tote.
But when 1t happens to come round
To Christmas time of year,
No matter how I'm laden down
1t seems to give me cheer.
Each night on crowded trolley car
With packages galore
/ ride. some bundles holding tight,
Put others on the floor
And in the morning others to
The Post Office l bring
Instead cf groans and grumbles, why
I whistle and | sing.
I'll tell, you bo. there's nothing like
This Christmas-spirit stuff
When once Ii gets you, by joVe,
You just can't do enough.
We ought to render thanks that we
At such time may live
And scatter JOY and sunshine round
!. As hers and there We give.

York seems to have been fussing
about paving assessments while Har-
risburg people were clamoring for the
opportunity to pay the assessments and
get the paving. This city has about
seventy-five miles of well-paved streets
and nobody will doubt the substantial
character of the investment from every
standpoint.

Republicans the country over are
discussing the Presidency with a con-
fdence that indicates no doubt of the
outcome of the campaign of 1916. 1t
seems practically certain that the next
occupant of the White House will be a
Republican and the selection of the can
didate can wait fuller discussion of the
merits of those who are now appear
ing above the political horizon.

Before becoming too much worked
up we should be sure that some of the
munition factory explosions are not
due to green hands instead of red

CORNWALL HOLLOW

st. Swithin rushes in first real hot
wave.
Lest any one were not aware kat
Thursday, July 10 was something out
of the ordinary, it might be we'll to say
that it was st. Swithin's day, although
Old Sol put i'll mighty good bid for
the honor and all the claims that &C
company it. According to a historic
legend familiar to many and of no
consequence TO many others, the pre-.
vailing weather of this legendary oc-
casion will be the portion of suffering
humanity for the succeeding forty days
or major portion thereof. For in
stance, it would have been said eff it
rained on st. Sw4thin's day, the rainy
weather would be the prevailing
climatic condition for forty days there
after: if it were cold then cold weather
would ensue for forty days and if it
were hot, then hot days would be the
rule for a month and half to come. 4"
We may be sure of one thing, it won't
be cold. A brief analysis of that day
for those who do not recall just what
the weather was will disclose that Old
Sol in all his torrid elements of dis
tress was on deck within reasonably
early hours of the morning and con-
tinued OH duty until the afternoon had
began to wane. 1t remains to be seen
what che weather will prove to be.
