FADE AWAY, FORDNEY.

Representative Fordney, of Michi-
gan, who recently made the remark
that the newspapers and magazines
mad done more to bring on this war
than any other agency, because they
expect to profit largely by it, is re
ceiVing the special attention OF the
newspapers, because OF this remark
able outbUrst.
The Editor and Publisher reminds
the public that Fordney is a back
woods political accident" his career
prior TO being elected to congress
having been limited to the lumber
woods, logging and estimating pine
timber The Editor and Publisher
adds:
with paper gone out of sight be-
cause of the war, with advertising
revenue curtailed because of the linn
tied amount of news print available
with cable tolls, special correspond
cnce' expenses bills running noun
tain high, with supplies of all kinds
worth their weight in gold, this pif-
file about newspapers benefiting re-
minds one OF how much the pine lum-
Der regions are missing by keeping
this great man away from the work
he is no doubt fitted to accomplish
creditably"

nitely asCertained. China was issu-
ing a newspaper thousands OF years
ago. In Europe advertisements ap-
pcared in the newspapers as early-As
1913, and from that time to this the
public has looked upon advertising
with growing favor
The enterprising man who desires
10 buy or sell something does not
overlook newspaper advertising. Elk
perience soon teaches him the value
of letting people know how he and
they can be OF mutual assistance.
Rich men in numerous lines of in
dustry made their first money by
carefully consulting the contents of
newspapers. A irstclass journal is
full of valuable suggestions which
keen men of affairs know how to use.
1t is good plan Tor all ambitious
and enterprising esizens who need to
set in touch WITH the public rightly
TO realize that as "a rule, every day
should be advertising day. And they
should carefully select the right me-
dunn Tor their newspaper advertise
ments, making the same large or
small according to their means. The
small advertiser usually develops
into a large one if he handles his
first profits judiciously

is THE END IN SIGHT?

We believe we can see nearer to
the end OF the war now than at any
time since it began. This idea is de-
duced from the proclamation of the
president as carried in our Associat-
ed Press dispatches of today regard
ing the experts of foods and other
commodities that may aid directly or
indirectly i'll carrying Oh the war.
1t is a notorious fact, known by
every well informed person in this
country, that ever since the war be
gan, food has been industrioualy sup
piled to the Teutonic allies by way
OF Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
The imports of food and foodstuTs
by these countries from America has
| doubled, tripled and quadrupled many
times in value and III bulk The re
suit has been that Germany has
drawn indirectly a large part of its
fighting material from here II is
even doing it today, but, of course,
to more limited extent with each
passing day.
The proclamation of the president
ought TO put a stop to it right now
II we sell our foodstuffs or other
necessary commodities TO the coun
tries named in the future, or until
this war is over, we will suffer &C
cording to the amount sold These
are plain facts, known and under
stood by all.
We heartily commend the actor
1 Of the president and wish it had come
earlier.

TIE GUIDING OE SHIPS.

Lloyd George tells us, according TO
Financial America, that the British
program is to build ships at q rate
ol 100000 tons 4 year next year.
America is building now at some
where between 1,200,000- and"1 800 900
tons a year and viii be on 5000
goo ton basis within eight months
probably. Norway is building a mod
est amount of shipping and os is
spain. Japan is doing all her yards
and mechanical facilities permit.
China is doing some shipbuilding. Few
persons know that China has some
fair shipya IS in the Hong Kong dis
trict and elsewhere.
Between the British and American
and other efforts it is not unlikely
that the world will be producing Ships
at the rate of approximately S,000 ,0G0
tons year by August l, 1918. Ii We
put the destruction by U-boats al
$4,000 tons month and This de-
StrucLion is not increased it would
seem that production will overcome
destruction within twelve months.
