Advertising to Keep Prices Down.

Two prominent business men we're
talking things over not long ago. One
of III IA asked the other: What is the
most common deiusiou in the business
world today!
Instantly came the reply. 1.-The idea
that advertising adds to the price of
goods. =
Every now and then some manufac-
turcr has tn hardhood to say that he
can sell his goods cheaper because he
docsn t advertise. Every one who
knows the \ b G Of business knows
that this claim is impossible on It's
face. Yet it sounds plausible and such
stalk d2ecivcs millions of people.
Forget all thesa sophistries and lis
ten now to the plain common sense of
the matter.
In the production OF marketing of
goods there are two inevitable costs.
One is the manufacturing cost; the 9th
or is the selling cost. And no way has
i ever yet been found by which either of
these costs can be eliminated. Mark
+ that.
Whether YOU buy farm products at i
/ grocery store, or mill products at a
/ dry goods store, or laboratory products
i 1t a drug story whatever you buy at
any store. be sure of one thing: Ths
price includes the selling cost il
must. else the manufacturer, the whole
salar, the retailer and the salesman
could not live
And just as surely as there arc al
ways two items of cost. the manufac
turing and the selling, just so surely
are there only two was in which th,
price Of goods can ever he reduced.
One is by economies III manufactdr
ing cost. The other is by economic

OF course. it ism t easy to cut manu-
featuring cost without cutting the quail

But in modern times a way has beer
found to cut selling eost-and its nam

MASON AND DIxoN'S LINE.
Process Of Restoring al Old Landmark
Which It Were Better to Forget.

No more unfortunate utterance has
been heard in the House Of Representa-
tivcs in recent years than the deelara-
ton by Chairman Claude Kitchin of
the Ways and Means Committee that
the $325, 000, 600 new tax about to be
levied by Congress viii be almost
wholly collected 'north Of Mason and
Dixon 5 line.
The measure has been 50 drawn that
it makes the commercial activities OF
the North the chief object Of taxation.
The North Carolina congressman frank
~ confessed that he had the North III

The unfortunate feature Of Mr.
Kitchin s speech. however, Is his exul-
fation over re-establishing sectional
/ division which every patriotic Ameri-
can has been earnestly cndeavorlng to
blot out of existence and out OF mind.
| Mason and Dixon s line carries memoir
les that can be dimmed only by the
flow of years and the restraint Of afor-
giving spirit. Such a spirit the people
of the North showed at AppomattOX as
no victorS ever before showed to van

denied the South in the government Of
the nation it fought so long and so
terribly to destroy. The men most con

Secretary M. P. Palmer, Of the
Murras City and Berwick Chamber
of Commerce, was q recent visitor
to New Orleans, in the interest OF
the proposed Shipyard for Berwick
Mr.. Palmer, when seen by a repre-
sentative of the Review today, wa
optomistic in his views on the sub
ject, and stated that he has every
reason to believe that Berwick
would not be disappointed on that
score. Mr.. Palmer stated that Mr..
Janse, of the firm of Janse Bros.
Boomer, Grain and Howe, is now in
Washington for the purpose Of Sc
curing a government contract, and
that in the next few days, something
definite should be known.
Mr.. Palmer spent the best part OF
Saturday in Berwick arranging for
the proposed site in Berwick, which
it is said, is practically ready to
receive the shipyard plant, should
the contracts be awarded the firm in
question. With the improved condi-
lions in the situation Of the Shipping
Board, At Washington, and their de-
clarations, that every thing win be
done to speed up the building Of
both steel and wooden vessels, has
brought about . more general opti-
outlook for this section Of the
country, in the shipbuilding indus
try, and Mr.. Palmer is most sincere
in his belief that there is such an IL
coming to Berwick.

SEVEN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
Here are Some Figures That VIII
Help You Realize What That
Staggering Amount Means

The man on the street is talking
glibly Of the United States great
war loan Of $7.0oO,000,0 o0. He
speaks Of it as "a lotta money o.
"a tidy sum" and observes that
money fights as well az talks"
With the average person the men,
ton Of any amount from $1,0O0,0O 0
upward commands respect, and 50
. sum involving 10 numerals is q
matter of veneration.
But how many people realize what
the figures 1000. 900, 600 signify?
The watch in your pocket ticks
one time a second. If it were al
ways kept wound and never stopped
it would take S. years and 6 months
ut this rate to tick off 100000
900. No human being could count it
n At a time, unless he lived to be
the age Of Methuselah.
So much for a number itself. The
real significance Of numbers, how
ever lies in what they represent.
Thus, a man may have $1,000 with
out causing any comment; whereas,
if he had seven wives he would be
wildly discussed.
How much, then is $4,000, 000.-
900? In the first place, it is more
than the actual amount Of cash in
the United States, so it is chiefly a
matter Of credit. It is a sum of
money % times as great as the es-
timated Rockefeller fortune. To
earn it a man getting So a day would
have to work 6,353,636 years, in
GLIDING Sundays and holidays. If
there were no 'unearned increment
an income of 100000 a year
would take 1000 years to pile up to
the amount of the war loan.
Several years ago when the Pam
anna Canal was receiving the lions
share of newspaper space, one of the
amazing items to the contemplative
mind was the cost of the gigantic
work. We learned that it amounted
to the total Of 1915, 000, 900, a sum
beyond the comprehension of most
people. What does it mean now to
say that $1,000, 0OO, 900 is more than
enough to- pay for 10 Panama
Canals? Dividing two continents is
an inexpensive matter compared to
financing a war.
Having tried to get a concrete
idea Of the amount in paper money,
let us translate $1,000, 600, 900 into
terms Of silver dollars. It is extreme
y doubtful il there is such IN enor-
NOUS supply Of silver in the world,
