How Advertisements Pay

No advertiser expects every reader, or
even tenth of the readers, to answer di-
rectly the advertisement, says Farm and
Fireside. He is satisfied if the reader
simply gives his advertising message con-
sideration and remembers part of it, so
that in the future when the reader wants
the particular article advertised he will
know what brand to ask for and where
to get it. In other words. the chief thing
the advertiser hopes to get is good will,
because business experience shows that
people eventually patronize concerns for
which they have a friendly feeling.
II the advertisement is in a paper to-
ward which he feels kindly, the advertise
ments in it are introduced to him, you
might say, by friend. That is about all
there is to the whole matter. The editors
try to deserve your friendship by helping
you in your business and by entertaining
you. The advertisers ask for your friend
ship because they know you will buy
your necessities and Injuries from con-
Germs you like, or which are well recon-
mended to you.

STRIKE is OFF,; :
| ROADS Give IN
Presidents Committee Made
New Appeal Based on Crisis
Due to Sinking of Ships
Secretary Lane, One of President VIII
sons Mediators, Makes the An
nouncement After Series Of
Conferences With Managers.

New York.-The order for nation
wide strike was rescinded when the
railroads of the country granted the
most important demands of the four
brotherhoods of railway employees.
Patriotism caused the railroads to
give in, according to a letter the Ma
tional Conference Committee of Rail-
road Managers sent to the mediators,
composing a special committee of the
Council of National Defence.
Frank K. Lane, Secretary of the
Interior, announced, as soon as the
railroads had yielded, that the set'
Element had been reached by granting
to the brotherhoods a basic eight hour
day.
The letter to the medators author
lied them to make whatever adjust
ment your committee deems neces-
sary to guarantee the uninterrupted
and efficient operation Of the railways
as an indispensable arm of the ma
tional defence"
Secretary Lane and the other mem
bers of the committee shook hands
with the managers, who left fifteen
minutes after the letter had been
given out. Immediately Secretary
Lane sent for the four brotherhood
leaders, who, after half an hours con-
ference, agreed to accept the railroad
peace offer, and began at once send
ing word to Chicago, St. Louis, Pitts
burgh and Baltimore, and local Chair
men that satisfactory settlement had
been reached.
The decision reached by the man
ayers means that the brotherhoods
have won an important victory, al
though it does not bring them all their
original demands BY the agreement,
it is assumed, they will receive pro
rata time for overtime on the basic
eight hour day which has been as
cribed to them Their original de-
maEds call for time and a half for
overtime on the same basic day.
The men will get their present pay
for ten hours for eight hours work
under the agreement Those conces-
sions on the part of the managers are
virtually what the employees contended
they would gain under the Adamson
law if it were declared constitutional.
1t marks the end of the fight for
the eight-hour day, which resulted
twice in the United States being plac-
ed within two hours of nation wide
tieup OF transportation.
The railroads estimate that the set
Element will cost them $5O,OOO,OOO a
year. 1t is also agreed that the eight
hour day goes into effect as OF Jan.
1, and the 100000 brotherhood mem
bers will thereby get $13,OOO,OOO, which
stands to their credit as what they
would have received had the law been
in operation since Jan. 1.

If all indications are to be trusted Rus
STA has just taken the most important
step that has been made for centuries.
The Gar has been deposed; the circle of
pro-Germans who have surrounded him
ever since the war began and who have
hampered all military activities has been
broken up. The Duma, the Russia con-
gress or parliament, has conducted the
revolution. 1t has the support of the
people and that of large portion of the
Russian nobility. This is greater blow
to Germany than almost any Russian
military victory could have been.

AS a Slight answer to the statement

pelier. that women are Indifferent to the
ballot, comes the vote Yesterday at the
Rutland Woman's club, when there was
not dissenting voice to the endorse
ment of bill H144 which provides that
women of the state shall vote on munich
pal questions. If the legislators are really
honest in their statement that they will
give it to women when they want9it,
they should accept the many signs OF the
times that are being shown by women
all over the state and give it their hearty
support.-Rutland News.
The man who makes the statement
nowadays that women do not want the
ballot does not know what he is talking
about. 1t may have been true only
short time back but there has been a vast
change in this respect during the past
few months and especially since the re
cent election emphasized the power OF the
women in the west. The women OF Yer
mont and every other eastern state DC
want the ballot and want it now.-Ben
