PUBLICITY FOR THE CHURCH.


a Salem church has named a pub

church does not intend to hide its

does for business organization He
Is right. This has been established
by the experiences Of churches which
have resorted to printers ink In sus-
t83ning interest and drawing sinners.
Provided the publicity manager is a
live wire, the Salem church In ques-
ton will require 8. r. o. sign for
use when special exercises are held.
Publicity Is the medium of bringing
to the attention Of people the things
they want and which you have. Sure

MORE PROSPERITY FIGURES.

Here are some significant business
facts reported by the federal reserve
board:
| New orders for locomotives are SAC
per cent. greater than they were for
the first three months of last year.
Orders for cars are 766 per cent.
greater.
Chicago jobbing houses are having
difficulty in filling their orders.
The volume of goods sold in New
York the past few weeks has broken
all records.
Country merchants in all sections
are reported to be buying more goods
than at any time since 1907.
The United States Steel corporation
has nearly 100000 tons of untitled
orders, gain of more than 100000
tons over the same time last year. 1t
would take the whole steel industry
at least six months to fill standing
orders, if no more came in.
New York jewelry stores report
sales five times larger than for sew
eral months past. Department stores
report larger sales of better grade
wearing apparel"
And along with this evidence of
the amazing growth of domestic trade
and industry comes the report that
our exports are still busy breaking
records. The excess of exports over
imports is expected to reach s2,000,-
100000 for the fiscal year, four times
as large as the average before the
war and nearly double the favorable
balance for the Last fiscal year.

GOOD ROADS AND
PREPAREDNESS


"It was fortunate for France that
she did not spend all her money in
the building of good roads instead OF
for preparation for war, else she
would have been at the mercy OF
the German hosts,' remarked Fran
els Hapgood, an American traveller,
who has spent many years in Europe.
But France has shown the world
that she can prepare for war and at
the same time build good roads, for
France has the finest roads of any
country in the world-that is, she
has the highest percentage Of good
roads, more than $4,000 miles of the
best made roads and many times that
of second-class highways" says In
diana Farmer.
This country is making Roadway
in the construction of good roads, not
so rapid Roadway perhaps as the
advocates of good roads would like,
but progress. 1t will be many years
before we can hope to reach the
standard set by France. There are
in the United States approximately
$500. 900 miles of roads of all kinds,
good and bad, and about 100000 miles
of good roads, macadam and con-
crete. Road construction Is bound to
be slow because of Its great cost.
Figures show that the average cost
of sand-clay roads, in the United
States is 500 a mile, of gravel roads
$4,000, of macadam $4,000 and OF
asphalt macadam $4,000 mile. 1t
has been estimated that the States
are spending about $250,000,000 a
year on roads, and the expenditure
rs increasing every year Europe has
a great advantage over us, because
the old countries have handed down
to them the best kinds Of roads for
centuries

THE LARGER COMMUNITY SPIRIT

The typical characteristic Of a pro-
gressive town is a keen sense of the
gains that may come from he growti
CT town as whole. The people
clearly see that if they can make
their town and its business increase,
every form of property and business
will: go ahead. Furthermore the net
profit in case of such increase should
be larger proportionately than the
gain in gross returns. A larger bust
ness can often be done without much
increase of expense, leaving a great
ly enhanced net return.
In every progressive town, there
fore, the merchants are willing to de-
vote much time and thought to max
ing the town grow as whole. They
do not relax efforts to compete sue
cessfully with each other. But the
gains that come from the growth OF
the town as a whole come easier and
with less effort.

intense feeling of community loyalty.
1t should be realized that everyone
who owns a business or any real es-
tate is going to gain by the growth
Of the town. Also everyone who
has a job In a growing town Ia q
gamer, though this is not always
realized. In a growing town, employ
ers are better able to pay good
wages, and there are more opportuni,
ties for advancement.
The first step In community loyalty
is to patronize the home merchants.
The man who sells supplies In your
town is In q sense your business
partner. He is working for ends that
are vital to your success. Every
purchase made at home helps on
the town, helps make your property
your business. your job, more valuable
and hopeful of larger opportunity.
Spend your money so as to make
your home town grow, rather than

Fraught With Danger.

tOnltcu PRESS Stdil correspondent
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s.--Presi-
dent Wilson faces a new year fairly
teeming with the portentous prob
lens of international affairs. Peace
discussion in Europe-with the pres
ident as one of the foremost charac-
tiers in the drama--loomed large on
the years horizon. Behind this Wis
ion, however, there rose intricate and
dangerous questions of trade and
diplomacy, the readtustment of world
affairs and the economic revolutions
bound to follow the close OF the war.
In brief, 1917 promises to be the
most eventful twelve months of
President Wilson's administration.
The year nevertheless made its bow
at the White House mildly, inaugu-
rating no change in the presidents
regular program of daily work.
Looking back on 1915 the calen-
dar pages disclose twelve months of
almost constant strain at the White
House.
.Our own rights as a nation, the
liberties, the privileges. and the prop
erty of our people have been pro-
foundly affected" as result of the
war. the president declared recently.
He probably was thinking of his
long tour through the central west
urging immediate response to a call
for preparedness: his constant diff
culties with Germany and England
as result of breaches of interna-
tional law; his appearance before
congress with warning that bro
ken relations with Germany was
crisis Immediately facing the United
States, and finally the hope of an end
to these dangers when Germany prof.
fered peace to the world
The White House itself has housed
some of the most dramatic scenes in
its history. Full details may never
be told of the dramatic conference
between the president and admins
tration leaders in the library of the
executive mansion when it appeared
inevitable that the United States
would be drawn into war with Ger
many.
1t was then the President told
Senator Stone of the senate foreign
relations committee that IL another
American life were lost as result
OF violation by Germany OF her
pledges to this country on submarine
warfare, the only course left open to
him, was to sever diplomatic rela-
tons with Germany. And question
ed as to whether or not such action
would mean war, the president re-
piled he had been told 1t would. 1t
was stormy conference in which
the minds OF the president and his
faithful leaders were laid bare.
1t was followed by an effort to
pass resolutions In congress warning
Americans off armed ships-a meas
ure fought to successful finish by
the president himself. Later he APP
peared before congress, notifying
that body of the virtual ultimatum
sent to the kaiser. following the sink
ing of the Sussex.
There was another dramatic con-
ference in the White house. The
Gold room. famed for its spectacu-
lar social events during years gone
by. was opened to conference be-
tween the president and five hum
bred railroad trainmen In an effort
to ward off nation wide railroad
strike. This was followed by the
