CHURCH ADVERTISING.

1t was reported at the Middle States
Unitarian conference at Pittsburgh,
Pen, a few days ago that the denomi-
nation had increased it's distribution of
pamphlets the past year by 100000
copies. Also the churches were report
edto be using a good deal of news
paper advertising. Evidently this de-
nomination realizes the value of print
er inks and publicity.
TIL e newspapers are always gener-
Gus about free notices for the churches
At the same time they are under no
more obligation to contribute service
free than are the merchants to give
the carpets, fuel, lights, and other
supplies.
1t costs money to print news paper
just as it costs money to print hymn
books, or to make cook stove for the
church parlor. The newspaper man is
under obligation to be generous to a
good public cause, just as we'll as are
all other business people, but under no
more obligation.
A church that takes regular adver-
Using space among the announcements
of public functions or in the business
notices, seems like a going concern,
conducted efficiently and successfully.
Advertising a church attracts public
attention, just as advertising a store
does. A mere notice that the services
are at certain hours will help. An
nouncements of subjects of sermons
that seem interesting and practical is
still better. Little write-ups of diff
ferent features of the church work
would interest a great many people.
In that way many persons could be at
tracted to Sunday school, Bible classes,
Endeavor and Missionary societies, etc
A church that advertises is never &C
cused of being a religious club for
limited set of people. It looks like the
Church of the Open Door, welcoming
strangers. The newspaper view of the
subject may seem prejudiced. But the
business men would say that the in
creased contributions would more than
pay for the advertising. Try it!

One of the oldest books in existence
is a collection of proverbs by Ptah-
botop, an Egyptian, who lived some
where about the time of Abraham.
Among his injunctions is the follow
ing, which we commend to the writers
on woman's emancipation, domestic
economy, and other popular topics,
who may think that the subjects
which they discuss are fresh and sug-
gested by the increased intelligence of
modern civilizations: eff thou be wise,
furnish thy house we'll; woo thy wife
and do not quarrel with her; nourish
her; deck her out, for fine dress is her
greatest delight. Purpose to make
her glad as long as thou Invest. She
is a blessing which her possessor
should treat as becomes his own
standing. Be not unkind to her" This
counsel is none the less useful at the
present day, because $500 years have
elapsed since it was given.

WHAT DOES 1916
mean TO YOU?
Dollars Waiting For the Live Mer-
chants During Coming Year.

Everything points to much i'm
proved business condition during this
year. The big eastern concerns are
making advertising contracts at a rate
never equaled before. A dozen or
more of these contracts have been
made with the Reporter and the max
ing of them is taken as a criterion of
better business.
But what are you going to make
1916, Mr.. Home Merchant? Are you
going to do a better and bigger bust
ness?
The extent Of the increase in your
business will be measured by the ad-
vertising you do. In other words, the
business man who advertises his goods
and meets the wishes of the people of
his community for advance informa-
ton in regard to the articles he has
to sell, is the one who will reap the
harvest of increased business.
The necessity of mapping out judi
cious campaign of advertising is urged
upon you, Mr.. Merchant, Business men
in other places will be advertising
strongly and in various ways in an eff
fort to secure the trade Of this COM
munity, and the business house that
will be the mail order man.
Your serious consideration should
be given to this matter during the next
few days, not only from a standpoint
of increased business and profits, but
also as matter of protection against

affection; her church has lost devot-
ed member whose devotion was unlim-
tied and her neighbors and friends a
thoughtful and considerate friend. She
was lovely Christian character whose
traits could well be emulated.
Mrs. Helene Cave was born in St.
Louis, Missouri, on the 18th day of
May 1928 and was 80 years of age.
She went to Dubuque, Iowa, with her
parents to live in 1885. At the age of
y years she was sent TO the Sacred
Heart Convent in St. Louis, Mis-
souri,, where she received her
schooling. She spent at least seven
years there when she was married to
Mr.. Maxim LaBreche in Dubuque, Ia,
when she was about twenty-five years
of age After their marriage they
came direct to Grand Rapids, where
they went to housekeeping and she has
resided here ever since. Mr.. LaBreche
preceded her in death many years ago.
Her second marriage occurred in
| Minok, Illinois, in 1890 while living
there with her sister, to Mr.. Joseph
Cave. After Mr. Gilbert's death her
her sisters husband, in Minonk, she
and her sister moved back to Grand
Rapids, where they have since made it
their home. About eighteen years age
Mrs. Cave, was troubled with paralysis
in her left arm, which trouble was the
cause of the necessity of amputatlng
her left arm. The loss of this arm was
a great handicap for the balance OF
her life time. In spite of this afflictior
however, she kept house with the as
life time, excepting about two weeks
which she spent at Riverview Hospita
where her death occurred. Mrs Cave
was of very genial disposition, finel!
educated and cultured in every res
pect. She was a devoted member Of
the local Christian Science church fol
ten years, also member of the Order
of the Eastern Star, since it's organi
cation. She was member of The
Woman's Relief Corps and a member
of the w. G. T. u, and in all of these
orders she was an excellent worker
and greatly devoted to the principle!
nuciated by them. She leaves to mourn
her sisters, Mrs. w. J. Shea of Crane
Rapids, Mrs. L. A. Law of Babcocl
and Miss Edith Law of Babcock. Als(

DOES ROENIUS
LIVEIN GERMANY

According to the Fond du Lac Com
monwealth, Otto R. Roenius, who has
always been good and respected CT
tizen of Grand Rapids is now citizen
of Germany. The Fondy paper does
moi say so in so many words, but it
does say so in a picture of Mr.. Roenius
which is used with others that make up
the Executive Committee of Wisconsin
Elks in charge of the state bowling
tournament now being held at Fond
du Lac.
Under Mr.. Roenius' picture is the
name Otto Roenius, (but it is our own
Otto regardless of the fact that the
name is spelled wrong) and under his
name is the word Sheboygan. Hence
the query, does he now live in Ger
many?

HOW TO HELP A TOWN.

The man who has the welfare of
his town at heart should remember
that level-headed practical business
men comply in code of words which
are called to mind by the following
crumb dropped by Horace Greedy IN
an address delivered in an ambitious
western town:
Order your goods from New York.
Buy of peddlers as often as possible.
Go to some other place to get your
job printing done.
Contribute what news you have to
any but home papers.
Glory in the downfall of some man
who has done much to build up the
town.
Patronize out of town papers to the
exclusion of your own and denounce
them for not being as large and as
cheap as city papers.
Attend the services of some minis
ter who lives in a bigger town and
has bigger salary, and let the home
preacher live on sawdust and fine
needles. It's fashionable, you know.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1916-01-13

It should be the aim of every young
person to find an entrance into good
society. By good we do not mean
fashionable society. That often merits
least of all this honorable title. A
good social circle is one where sound
principles, refined manners, and in
telligent ideas are the characteristics
of it's members. Many a young man
has gone to ruin by choosing the So
ciety of the low and vulgar, instead Of
those whose influence would be elevat-
ing. It is always so easy to fall into
evil, but often it requires hard work
to gain a sure footing in refined
circle.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1916-01-13

To a great many people the above
words will mean little. To others in
Wisconsin they will have a great
meaning. A man of national reputa-
ton as farm specialist not long ago
said that the people Of Wisconsin
should be thankful for their cold
winters.
Last winter Wisconsin fields froze
to more than the usual depth, the
ground was greatly losened and took
in an immense amount Of water
This loosening of the soil also made
room for plant roots. A big crop fol
lowed-as big crops usually follow a
cold winter and deep freezing.
Let US hope that the ground will
freeze deeply again this winter.
