IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE

There was an old geezer and he had lot of
sense;
He started up business on dolar-eighty cents--
The dollar for stock and the eighty for an ad
Brought him three lovely dollars in day. by gad
Well, he bought more goods and a little more
space
And he played that system with a smile on his
face.
The customers flocked to his two-byfour,
And soon he had to hustle for regular store.
Up on the square, where the people pass,
He gobbled up corner that was all plate glass,
He fixed up the windows with the best that he
had,
And told 'em all about it in half page ad.
He soon had 'em coming and never, never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down on his ad one jit.
Well he's kept things humping in the town ever
since,
And everybody calls him the Merchant Prince;
Some saw it's luck, but that's all bunk
Why, he was doing business when the times were
PUNK.
People have to purchase and the geezer was
wise-
For he knew the way to get 'em was to advertise

The Drinking Cup Menace

The "slop tanks" found in the
average cold drink emporium in
to which the glasses are casually
dipped and the spoons and other
utensils have an occasional bath,
should be outlawed in North
Carolina, as we'll as everywhere
else, says the Kinston Free
Press.
I'm commenting on tbs mat
ter the Greensboro News very
pointedly remarks that it is not
a question for local or community
public sentiment to govern, but
one for statewide legislation. The
machinery for the operation of
such legislation is properly en-
trusted to the state health de-
partment. By so doing the al
ways presentdanger of lack OF en-
forcement because of local favor
itism is avoided.
1.-THE public drinking cup men
ace to health is a relic of that
age when medical science had
made little progress in the mat
ter of prevention of disease, and
when its attention was given
more largely to curative meas
ures. Its relegation is a matter of
imperative need, that wholesale
communication of disease con-
veying germs be stopped
1t would be well for the press
of the state to consider this pro-
posal, and if it appeals to any

The Early Bird

To-day the merchant who ex-
pectr to achieve success by en-
ploying only those forces for Sc
curing and holding business
which were popular in his youth,
will find it difficult to obtain even
the measure of success which was
common fifty years ago.
To achieve the highest measure
of success, a merchant must uti-
lie not only the forces employed
by his competitors but must
bring to bear upon his problems
the force of every new idea as
as soon its worth has been de-
termined.
The value of advertising can
no longer be ignored. The mer-
chant who can afford to neglect
this course is a man who thinks
the people he would like to serve
either do not read or are not in
fuenced by what they read. In
either case they certainly would
not be buyers of his wares.
The most successful business
men of to-day have no desire to
argue with the inevitable, and in
many of the principal cities mer.
chants are doing extensive adj
vertising who never advertised
before.
The greatest volume of bust
ness ever known is lurking in
the background. The disturb
ance in Europe and in Mexico
have disturbed some lines, but
when the trouble has been ad-
iusted the factories Of America
will be working overtime. 1t is
as sure as the sunrise. Elk

Skillfully Stroking Indiana

Indiana is nov in the Republi-
can column, its doubts are re-
solved, the casting Of its vote is
a mere formality and, it was all
done, so simply. Mr.. Hughes,
flashing momentarily through
the State, did it all. The Sun, in
that peculiarly ecstatic manner
which so becomes it, explains
the modus operandi. 1t was his
regular smile, his 3" 'regu-
lar handshake", his strong
argument, and his fine fight
ing 'front.'. The Suns voice, un
der training, is becoming colora
tura. "Indianians are not now
in doubt about he kept US out
of war and what would Hugh
es have DONE their minds are
not clouded on the eight hour
scamp legislation, they see MeXi
co with clear eyes. A major
operation performed on clouded
Indiana minds and dull Indiana
eyes, performed in jiffy and
over a hurdle; the like has never
been SEEN what an orator is
this, who speaks with the tongues
of men and angels. His cam
paign has been cumulative,
gaining weight and speed as it
advanced; one by one the is
sues have been made definite,
stroke by skillful stroke the
picture of Democratic futillity
has grown on the canvass.
And now the appeal to reason
echoes in the cheers of multi
tudes of voters foretasing thte
glories of America First and
America Efficient Paraphras-
ing Mr.. Dooley slightly, tbs an
editorial article We can waltz to.
Indianians, then, are not now
in doubt about what would
Hughes have done. :" The fine
fighting front has told them that
he would have been short and
stern with Germany over the
Lusitania, the regular smile has
told them that he would have
been gentle with Germany. AS
they noted his weight and speed .
they discovered that he would
have broken with England over
the mail question, as they fore
tasted the glories of America
first and efficient they saw that
he would have been easy with
England. AS the issues grew
definite they understood that he
would have recognized Huerta,
as he dealt stroke by skillful
stroke they knew he would not;
in the cheers of multitudes of
voters they heard him interview
ing in Mexico and his drums ad-
vancing to the Castle of Chapul-
tepec; in the appeal to reason, as
it echoed in the cheers, they
heard him resolutely refusing to
make war on a sister republic.
The issues grew definite, stroke
by skillful stroke, in the minds
of German-Americans, pro-Allies,
pacifists, militarists, intervention
lists, anti-interventionists; and as
they noted the fine fighting front,
the regular handshake, as the
speeches grew weightier and {
weightier and speedier and
speedier, every last one of them
saw that he was heart and soul /;
with them all, no matter on what I
side of any question they stood. ?
And the appeal to reason echoed
in the cheers of multitudes, and y
Indiana became solid, solidly y
oussyfooted, all things to all men.
