Kennebec Journal Ads
Give Practical Helps

A s advertising took on this char
II acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. Housewives
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
fuenced 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 ef-
ficiency and economy and wise judg-
ment. Thus the circle of people in
fiuenced by advertising widened and
expended in a greater degree. ~
And the expansion Of the circle
goes on. If 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 other problems.

"A RICH MANS WAR"

About the most disgusting blather
or anti-war agitation is the charge
that this is rich mans war" 1t
can only pass current among the ig-
norant, the shallow minded, or the
fanatic. 1t isn't necessary to discuss
its fallacy for the readers of The
Republican, but the irony of it Just
now is bitter when we read that
among the very first sacrifices of the
war is the Gripping, perhaps for life,
OF young aviator, Davidson, son of
one of the heads of the house of
Morgan.
Young Davidson had everything
in the world to live for, materially
speaking-youth, wealth, social adj
vantage. health, opportunity, educa-
ton. He might easily have gone into
a safer branch of public service if he
felt impelled to make the gesture of
patriotism. Instead he chose the
perilous and the most urgently
necessary service aviation, and for
months has been giving money and
time to its development and to his
own training. Now he has paid the
price of as pure a patriotic impulse
as any man feels. His sacrifice is a
rebuke to the shirker in every walk
of life and an inspiration to every
one of his fellow Americans. At
about the same time Aviator Fleish-
mann. another young man of wealth
and position. was killed in the same
training. Other such men have died
in France in the same cause, and
more will follow them. In Chicago
the sons of the rich men" were
among he fret tn 70 ~
are to be found in every Branch of
service. Two of the sons of the lead
ing bankers are in the perilous air
service. The son of member of one
of the greatest mercantile houses is
in that service. Throughout the
country rich men" and rich mems"
sons are giving with open hands
of wealth, of service. of life itself. III
this makes a rich mans war" then
this is a rich mans war;, but it is
a poor mans war as we'll

TWO MILLION SOLDIERS

The probability that the second
draft will made early next year and
that 100000 additional men will be
drawn into the military service is
significant of the fact that America
is going into the war up to the hilt.
Industry. man power and capital
have been drafted for the war The
whole world knew that America
would be effective in adding to the
financial and industrial and food re-
sources of the nation associated in the
war against the German government,
but there was some doubt as to the
extent of the participation, so far as
man power is concerned.
That doubt has been removed by
the vigor with which the United
States government has proceeded in
raising national army. 1t was no
mere bravadO that inspired the adop-
ton of the conscription law. The
public has been quietly in earnest
from the beginning, and the govern
ment in preparing for an army of at
least 100000 men is carrying out
the will of the majority as well as the
Judgment of the military experts
Twenty-siX thousand new but we'll
trained and competent officers have
been provided for the army, which in
few weeks will be under training
in the cantoments. At least 10000
more will be provided in the second
camps. There will be plenty of Off
GERS for the training of the new mere
ment of 100000 men announced for
JanuaS.
1t was a stupendous task that faced
the military authorities of the United
States at the beginning of the war
The size of the regular army was
insignificant. There was a dearth
of officers Germany gleefully insist
ed that it would be impossible to pro-
vide officers, equipment and supplies
for large army in the United States.
Even CONSUMPTION, the German gov
eminent argued, meant merely pap
er army.
Today this country stands as the
greatest potential factor in the world
war, and its preparations bring the
day of victory closer to hand.

MILLER--SCHAFFER. WEDDING

On August %, one of Audubon
county's most respected young men
Dalton F. Miller, ran the gauntlet
of secrecy and in company with his
bride-to-be, Miss Esther Schaffer OF
Dedham, drove to Carroll and secur-
ed the license which permitted two
hearts to beat as one, under one
name and under one roof.
They were attended by Roscoe and
Versa Miller, brother and sister of the
groom. After the ceremony, they
departed for Des Moines to enjoy
a short honeymoon visiting relar
tives and friends and be guests of
the State Fair Association. They
later drove to Indianola to visit
friends and relatives.
The groom is son of one of
Audubon county's most respected
and prosperous citizens, Mr.. ]. f.
Miller, a farmer of Viola town
ship. The bride is a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis -Schaffer for
merly very successful general mer-
chant of Dedham.
The bride and groom are most ex-
cellent and pleasant young people
They live on the Miller farm
five miles south or Dedham. The
Republican joins the many friends of
this young couple in wishing them
a happy and prosperous married life
and extend to them the most sincere
congratulations.
