Editors and newspapermen." said
Mr.. Shipp, ARE not such wicked fell
lows, but they will not grow en-
thusiastic about stories unless they are
worth while. What the churches are
doing must be of interest to the people.
for newspapers will not print things
simply because you want them to. They
want news, and they are the judges
of what Is news, because It Is their
business to know. II they don't show
interest in your story. you may be
pretty sure there Is something wrong
with the story.

Zation undertakes some great work. II

PLEAS FOR TRUTH IN
ADVERTISING MADE
AT A. A. c. MEETING
Addresses Made at Opening
Session by President Wood
head and Joseph E. Davies.

CHICAGO. June 0-The eleventh
annual convention of the Associated Ad-
vertising Clubs Of the world was for
mally opened here this afternoon with n
mass meeting of the delegates In the
Auditorium Theater Addresses we're
made by President william Woodhead,
Of San Francisco, and Joseph e. Davies,
chairman Of the Federal Trade Com
mission. Both made pleas for Truth In
Advertising" which is the slogan of
the gathering
In addition. Chairman Davies outlined
the purposes and policy of the Federal
Trade Commission.
Tho essential thing Is the accom-
plshment of the effective protection of
the public and of business itself against
unfair methods Of competition, with due
regard to the rights Of ALL as speedily
and easily as possible" he said. The
purpose of the Federal Trade Commits
sion Is not to harass. but to help
Trade Opportunities For U. s.
Chairman Davies also pointed out
the trade opportunities furnished the
United States by the European war
The convention was informally
opened in the morning, when fifty of
| the leading delegates occupied the
pulpits of the larger churches and
delivered lay sermons. Tomorrow the
advertising men Will be officially
welcomed to the city by Mayor Will
| liam Hale Thompson and Gov. Ed
| ward F. Dunno.
| Mr.. Davies spoke in part as follows:
| Last year two great congresses--one
at Budapest. and one at Paris-devoted
| their deliberations to the securing Of
| uniform International legislation for the
| suppression of fraudulent advertising.
| Since that time the peaceful processes
| Of Europe have been disorganiZed or
destroyed by this terrible holocaust
| called war. You association here alone
| remains in a world almost gone made,
to further those ideas and to hold aloft
the torch of truth in advertising in
world commerce.
| The relation of business to govern
| ment and government to business is n
! matter of great concern to US ALL The
properties of Industrial, transportation
| and commercial business constitute h
| very large proportion of the total wealth
| of the nation. The well-being OF buS-
ness is and properly should be a matter
| of government concern. The welfare OF
a great part of the people of the nation
| depends directly upon its well-beink.
| While business Is a substantial part or
| society for which government exists,
| business on the other mana couid not
exist without government govern
ment watchful of the interests OF the
whole of society must be superior to
It and indepedent Of 1t. even as tho
interest of all Is superior to the wei
fare of the few. Nor can any part or
| society exist but for the protection
afforded by the whole thereof. An in
| jury to any part Is injury to all. The
| relation of government toward business
has always been, therefore. OF para
| mount interest to all classes Of society
| bound together In social contract.

hONTOUR MAN KILLED
BY AcETYLENE EXPLOSION.

Fred Crawford, proprietor OF a
cigar store and billiard hall at Mon
tour, was instantly killed last Thurs
day morning by the explosion of an
acetylene tank at the rear Of his
place of business. The Emmett Index
saysa
There were no eye Witnesses to
the terrible accident, and only a
guess can be made as to the cause
of the explosion. It Ia believed that
Crawford, who had unscrewed the
top OF the tank to renew the sup
ply, had lighted cigar In his mouth,
which set fire to the gas. His body
was hurled 10 feet by the explosion,
his head was crushed to a pulp, both
arms were broken and his body
fearfully mangled.
