TRUTH IN ADVERTISING.

The Advertising Club movement.
which is embodied in the Associated
Advertising Clubs Of the World, is
really a sincere endeavor on the part
of business men who are engaged In
publishing and advertising to trans
late business ideals into business
methods. So says Herbert s. Hous-
ton nan article in the Worlds Work.
The emblem Of the order is the word
Truth" superimposed on map OF
the world. In serious, thorough-go-
ing way, the effort is being made to
put that emblem into concrete COM
mercial practice.
There is no noisy or spectacular
commotion about it. Instead there
is the earnestness born Of conviction.
Occasionally a foolish publication pa
rades its virtue, thing which most
honest people are willing to take for
granted. but In the main, everything
about this movement has been sane
and strong and reasonable. The re-
suit has been that honest and believ-
able advertising today represents
the great bulk of advertising; the
kind that is dishonest is small. and
what there is left Of 1t is surely
doomed.

FARM HORSE STILL IN RING.

FARM HORSE STILL IN RING.
A recent report by experts for the
department of agriculture on the use
OF farm tractors In the United States
reveals the fact that the farm horse
still holds his own.
up to the present time" says this
report, "the tractor appears to have

continue to be used on some OF the

Someone has said that the average
American citizen works like horse
for a dollar and then spends 1t like
iackass. Who is the average Ameri-
can citizen who does this? In most
cases he is the man who is working
for others on modest salary. says
the Standard.
The man who is at the head OF .
retail business, built UP largely BY
his own efforts, is not spending mon
ev foolishly. He knows what money
means and how it should be used.
The fellows who are scattering the
cash about are the boys who have
been working for years and have
nothing to show for 1t.
These fellows will never be the
heads of businesses unless some
windfall gives them the capital. And
then they would be unsuccessful It
