WHO PAYS THE COST?
Advertising Pays for Itself in Volume
 of Sales.

Certainly not the consumer; cer- tainsy not the retailer. Here is the real truth of the matter. Money wisely spent in advertising Increases sales and profits to such an extent that sufficient capital is provided rol the operation of economies naturally resulting from buying and manufac- turing in larger quantities. The big ger volume of trade the cheaper is the relative production. In fact, as all leading advel tisers know, produc- ton is cheapened in a much greater degree by advertising than is repre- scented by the money spent in adver- Using. Were it otherwise there would be no use in advertising.
 Much as we advertisers love the newspapers, to whose revenues we contribute so handsomely. we only perform this service because We get more out of the publicity they give usi than they get out of us-with oc- Casional exceptions, perhaps, which are soon rectified. But what is of still greater importance is that, in ratio with the cheapening of produc- ton, there is cheapening of the ad- ,vertised article to the public.-The date Thomas J.~ Barrett's reminins- cences in The strand Magazine.

News Items from the European War.

news Items from the European War.
Conditions in Belgium an d
along the French frontier have
remained about the same for the
past two weeks. with some slight
advantage for the French and
English at two or three places.
On the Russian frontier and
in Poland the Russians appear to
be holding their own, and at the
same time they are conducting
fianking movements in east Prus-
STA and in the Carpathian noun
tains. their operations in secur-
ing possession of the three main
gaps in the Carpathians being
particularly successful.
Also in the Caucasus the Rus
SLAMS continue to report successes
in their encounters with the
Turkish troops.
The Germans have sprung an
other surprise on the English
last week with their submarines
by sinking three merchant ves-
sells in the Irish Sea, and two
lore in the English channel off
the French coast at Havre. The
Irish Sea being west of Britain
and fully $50 miles from any
German naval base, it goes to
prove that some of the German
under water craft have a much
wider scope of action than the
1000 miles heretofore accredited
to them.
Another sensation this week
was the dynamiting and destruc-
ton of three spans of the bridge
across the st. Croix river. con-
Meeting Canada with the United
States. The deed was commit
ted by Werner Van Horn, who
claims to be German officer.
He was arrested by U. S. officers,
and in the mean time the Cana
dian authorities are demanding
his extradition. Van Horn has
appealed to the German ambas-
sador at Washington, alleging
that he has not been on Canadian
soil, and he asks to be protected
from extradition. The bridge
was not greatly damaged and
was repaired in three days, but
the incident is assuming inter-
national Importance, and the U.
S. authorities are moving eau
tioasiy in the matter.

One of the valuable things that
was pushed by the farmers short
course meeting at Baton Rouge
last week was the value of sugar
Cane tops, etc., for storing in ST.
los and feeding to live stock.
The speakers told the South LOU
isiana sugar planters present at
tie meeting that enough silage
of this kind had been destroyed
and burned each year in the sug-
ar district to have furnished food
fer stock that would have made
possible the shipment of train
load after trainload of stock to
the markets. 1t is said that
many of the sugar planters have
already begun to follow the adj
vice given. If it is generally
followed. the sugar country will
soon blossom as the rose" as
the saying goes. Alexandra

The Editor Made Bad Break.


The Editor Made Bad Break.
In the Chronicle of Jan. o.,
in our comments about Congress-
man Aswell's vote on the Hobson
prohibition amendment, we con-
demned Mr.. Aswell's position in
the matter, and by inference our
structures were really more caus-
tic than was intended. Our cor
respondent T. M. Wells took as
to task about the matter last
week, and we are bound to ad-
nit that his criticism was just.
The truth of the business is
we went off half cooked" to
use the expressive vernacular of
slang. We did Mr.. Aswell a
gross injustice. and hereby make
him an open apology for our I'M
warranted criticism. Weseldom
accept the dictum of other news
papers on which to base our edi-
torial utrerances. but we did it
in this case. and fell into an eyre
gious error.
As a matter of fact we had not
examined the Hobson resolution,
and for that reason had no quail
fication to write about it. This
Mr.. AswelI doubtless suspected,
for he sends US copy of a very
pertinent letter, written to an
other party on the subject, but
we accept it as a fitting reply to
our comments. From it we make
the following extracts:
] venture to state. in the begin
ming, that if you had been on the
ground here and had watched
the numerous political ramifica-
tons of this idiotic fraud that
was heralded throughout the
country as prohibition measure,
you would have voted exactly as
Ibid. If you had been here and
had been familiar with the facts,
I feel confident of your approval
of my course. = =
Hobson introduced nine meas
ures on the subject, all different,
and if you have read the one we
voted on, you know we'll that the
Hobson resolution did not and
never intended to refer the liquor
question to the people of the
States. =
When the Morrison substitute
was offered voted for that be-
cause it was clear-cut. straight
forward, concise, decisive. in pro-
hibiting the importation, the ex-
portation, or the transportation
of all liquors across State lines
for any purpose whatsoever.
This in my opinion is one of the
sanest bills yet introduced on the
subject because it would give the
States absolute control of the sit
nation. : =

saloon could be established at
