THE FRUITFUL WAY.

While the Georgia general assembly
has the n-Hutcheson bill relating
to trading stamps, coupons, ETC., under
consideration, it is not amiss to quote
from John Wannamaker, a peerless
merchant of the United States, and
what he has to say about the way TO
advertise. It is:
Our little allowance of advertising
money went to the newspapers then as
it goes nearly altogether today, be-
cause if l ever have a monument for
discovering anything it will be for find
ing out that the only advertising of
direct and instant benefit to both mer-
chant and customer is in the daily
newspaper of known circulation. All
others are vanity and vexation of
spirit. To have learned this fact has
greatly helped my enterprises, though
often there has been serious discom
fort in saying so publicly and in
breaking away from posters, leaflets
and weeklies"
Newspaper advertising is something
which touches every sphere, and is
proven its worth by its growth each
I day.

1t is more than pleasure to read it

Although Mr. Castle may not ap-

general navy bill before. the commit
tee. He proposed yesterday TO the
committee that instead. OF building
larger submarines as provided in the
lin, the necessary amendments be
made to permit the building of three
S00-ton snbmersibles. Three submar-
fnes of the Schley type are already
authorized. while the rest of the pro-
gram could be completed by construct;
ing with the balance OF the submar-
inc fund a number of smaller vessels

Secretary Daniels said that the re-
quirements of the navy called for the
construction of great drydocks at
both Norfolk and Philadelphia, with
an additional navy yard on the Pacific
coast, probably at Los Angeles or San
Diego. a marine aviation and submar-
inc base at San Diego.
The expenditure of at least $4,000
