THE POWER OF
 ADVERTISING

Never has there been given such demonstration of the power or adVer- Using as is shown by the results or the War Work, Red Cross, and Llp- ertv bond drives. If anyone had sus- gested two years ago that these huge sums could be raised, the effort would have been called impossible.
 While house to house solicitation has been necessary in these drvies, yet if was advertising that prepared the field. The solicitors have reported that they had to do but little arguing By a tremendously widespread ao- vertising campaign the minds Of the people were prepared.
 If these solicitors had had to do their work unsupported by newspaper advertising, great many people would have refused to give. The solicitor could not convince them of the necessity in the few minutes of conversation he would have secured. People would have refused off hand, and then would have stuck to their refusal, from a certain feeling of | consistency that leads many people to refuse to reconsider a decision once made.
 The advertising campaign prepared peoples minds for these drives. They had time to reflect upon the argu- ments before they were asked tc make a decision. It was just like raising a crop in a field that had been thoroughly plouged and ferti' lized in advance. But soliciting without advance work is like raising a crop without cultivation.
 The success of these campaigns backed by advertising will lead many business men to apply the same prin' ciple in a small way to their busl ness. If Uncle Sam can get such grand result by advertising his pro position, and telling people about i Tn advance, why cant I get the sam' results in my own small way. by tell ing the people about my goods befort they start out on a shopping trip?

immigration Promises to
Set New Record-Smallest
Since the Colonial Days

When the present fiscal year ends,
June 30, it is highly probable that .
new immigration record will be set
the smallest since colonial days, says
the Washington Herald.
immigration statistics Of the first
six months indicate that the years
total may be less than 100000 persons.
For the half-year ending January i.
1918, only 57,715 came to America, and
since then the monthly totals have
dwindled to a few thousands.
The war, Of course, is responsible
The real dwindling began when the
United States entered the war. Since
that day only one country has sent
anything like the normal number OF
immigrants. That is japan, which
country now leads all nations in send
ing immigrants to America. japanese
immigration this year will reach 1900
as against 1925 in 1917. Sill in 1916
and 5000 in 1915 During the first
half of this fiscal year COOS japanese
arrived and they've been coming over
at the rate of more than a thousand
month. t....
Italy, which before the war sent
over seven times as many immigrants
as Japan then did, this year will send
less than a third as many.
Mexico. which sent 16,43S immi-
grants in 1917. will send less than
three thousand this year.

Find Markets for
Canned Goods
By the u. S. Department Of
Agriculture

Housewives and members of can
ming clubs are urged to study their
market at the beginning Of the season
and pack according to the local de-
mands for different products. They
are advised by the bureau of markets
Of the department to secure orders for
canned goods before putting them up.
Small lots of nonstandardized prod
acts are difficult to sell except among
local buyers and are not purchased by
the army, navy, commercial dealers
or any department Of the government.
Many appeals to the department OF
agriculture to find market for home
canned goods have been mace during
the past year and often the Gamers
believed that the government was In
the market for such goods. Subject
to whatever regulations may be made
by the federal government, the mar
keting of food products will proceed
IN the usual manner and the bureau of
markets points out that proper grad
lug. standardizing and careful prepa-
ration for market are especially nee
essary In handling canned goods. jams,
jeliies and preserves.
Home-canned products can be kept
over from one season to the next and
those who have not sold their goods
have reserves to draw from for their
home table. 1t is good policy, say the
specialists. for the housewife to pro-
vide reasonable surplus beyond the
probable home consumption for the
next crop year.
While the bureau of markets is CIV

different kinds of products In touch

ducers In other lines of industry.
