Under her arrangements everything

Kennebec Journal Ads
Give Practical Helps

A S advertising took on this char
~ acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. usewives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fluenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come un-
der the sway of business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too, was "in business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with eff
ficiency and economy and wise judg-
ment Thus the circle of people in
f1uenced by advertising widened and
expended in a greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If a merchant holds the at
tention and interest of the people in
this city who read and are Influenced
in their buying by the advertise
ments he need not worry about other
people or 9th er problems.

OF snow and ice over everything, which
remained until about noon, notwith-

in full foliage, many of them as green

IT PAYS TO
Read the Ads

~ IME was, and within the memo
ries Of many of us, when but
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found its
proper place in the economy of life.
Much of it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest.
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone of advertising mp We d,

How many of these are mushroom

NEW WORDS FOR OLD

Ever since the Roman army en-
riched our language with the word
"salery," from the Latin phrase which
meant that the soldier earned his
salt, words have been coined in wars.
Some of them have lasted as part of
the language; some of them have
passed out of circulation. But since
the days of chivalry we have had the
argot of militarism-to break even"
is possibly a reminiscence of the
good old days when a tilt was a most
satisfactory affair to both knights if
each broke his own spear To show
the white feather" while not exactly
militaristic, is still a fighting term.
Its significance comes from the the
ory that a good fghting-cock was red
all over, and the white feather was a
sign that he was not game. From
the Boer War we will probably re-
member trek" and 'kopje" longer
than the names of the generals, and
Kipling's "Barrack-Room Ballads
have immortalized the British soldier
slang.
Today we have already struck off
new words-red-hot and glowing
from the mint of war. With what
wicked joy did Tommy Atkins fall
upon the sinister word "strafe" and
incorporate it into his vocabulary
and, later, the English tongue. 1t is
used for everything; the German
shellfire "strafes" the road; the best
carver in the company is called upon
to "strafe" the chicken, when it
proves too tough for the unskilled
hand. "Taube" is a familiar term
for the German planes-little like
doves though they are; the daring
French aviator who has a certain
number of victories to his credit be-
comes an Ace" and the aces of the
air are already famous.
Tanks" is another word which has
taken on a new meaning during the
war. Stacker" is a popular term for
the man who does not do his bit, -
and trench" has become almost a
conversational counter-the whole
world had new vision of war when
it adopted that terrible phrase. 1.-The
men in the trenches" "Boche." a
word whose ancestry is not deter

WAR AND BUSINESS

Keep Business Going" and "Busi-
ness as Usual are two slogans that
popped up the minute there was
some talk of wartime economy. The
large amount of money our allies
across the ocean will spend here is
pointed to as a sign that prosperity
will continue.
But we are in the war, and our
business will be affected by the war.
II is true that the wheels of finance
and industry must be kept going, but
our whole business system must be
readjusted. 1t is only necessary to
look at business conditions in the
European countries to realize that
American business may have to make
a similar sacrifice in some measure.
War will be the great pace-setter.
1t will create the markets, and busi-
ness will follow the course it de-
mands. Sacrifices will be not theo-
retical. but real, and business cannot
escape. The greatest sacrifice is be-
ing made by the men who join the
fighting forces, and it would be trea-
sonable for American business men to
use the situation to pile up gold.
