If THE NEWSPAPERS
SHOULD SUSPEND.

The merchant who is content to
sell only his established trade is not
a successful merchant. He may sell
as many shirts, as many suits of un-
derwear, as many blouses, as much
ribbon, piece goods, and other mer-
chandise as he sold in any year in
the past, and his volume in dollars
and cents may be greater because OF
higher prices, but no merchant is en-
joying healthy growth unless he is
winning new trade all the time.
The folks who r supplying their
needs at a competitors store are your
customers--if you a get them, but
you are not going to win them unless
you advertise your methods and your
merchandise to them in mediums
which they invite into their homes
and for which they pay a price. The
most available medium for the retail
merchant is the weekly newspaper.
The newspapers of the country are
a vital necessity. If all newspapers
should suspend publication, it would
be a national calamity. You should
appreciate your newspaper and what
the publisher is doing for the COM
munity, and how much he can help
you, by advertising your store in his
columns consistently and continuous
ly.
The cost of advertising by circu-
lars, folders and booklets is &c to 10c
per home. This material is received
as a piece of advertising which came
unlimited and is treated accordingly.
You can send your message to ten or
more homes for soc by newspaper
advertising, and it is welcomed.
Your advertising appropriation
should be based on your volume OF
business. In the larger cities of the
country retail advertisers spend 3 to
5 per cent of their gross sales Any
wide-awake merchant in a good loca-
ton can afford to inves: at least az
per cent to advertise his business and
broaden his territory.
The war is over and competition
will again be keen. You will again
be pressed by statesmen to buy their
goods. You will be able to get every
thing you want, and more. You
should be willing to make a reasona-
bic investment at this time in good
will advertising 10 build up the pres
tigc and reputation of your cstab-
lishment. We are entering a period
of goodwill advertising such as the
world has never known. Every
merchant should plan accordingly

ADVANTAGE OF NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISING.

Most of the advertising copy 'or
the fourth Liberty loan campaign was
of course prepared in advance.
During the campaign the circum-
stances under which the bonds must
be sold underwent a radical change.
We went into the campaign on the
theory that the war was going to last
indefinitely, and the copy, both for
newspapers and magazines, was writ
ten from that viewpoint. Then, after
some of the advertisements had been
printed, came the German peace
drive. 1t had a dampening effect up
on the sale Of bonds. 1t became
necessary to disabuse backward SUBJ
scribers Of the idea that the war was
practically over and the governments
need of money less urgent. This in
volved the preparation of new copy
for the newspapers; not for the
magazines. For them what was writ
ten was written, and had to be print
ed.
In one city alone, says the Phila-
delphia Record, 160 newspaper ad-
vcrtisements were "scrapped" and
new ones, up to date in their appeal
in every particular, We're prepared to
take their place. The German peace
drive became a factor in the news
paper Liberty loan advertising. But
in all other advertising it had to be
ignored.
The lesson in this should be obvious
to every advertiser. The newspaper
advertisement is a publicity weapon
instantly adaptable to every conciev.
able changeof conditions confronting
the advertiser. and even to conditions
of which he could not conceive in adj

CHAMBERLAIN WILL
.s.- NAME COMPLAINTS
Delayed Pay Checks And Poor
Treatment OF Seldiers To
Be Brought Up.

Washington, Dec. Accompanies OF
soldiers and their families of short com.
ings of the war department are to be
accounted in the senate. With no ses.
sion Of congress today. chief interest
eentered in the announcement by Sena-
i tor Chamberlain, chairman of the sen.
ate military committee, that on Mon
day he would speak "with reference to
our returning soldiers and to those in
the eantonments, as to the treatment
they are entitled to receive at the
hands of the government"
With Chamberlain s famous speech
of year ago in mind, when he charged
the war department with failure in
many important departments, anothcl
sensation is looked forward to.
Complaints tina. soldiers have not re-
ceived their pay for weeks and even
months; that men are being held I'M
necessarily long at camps and that tine
expcditionary forces arc not being sent
home as promptly as warranted, have
reached various senators in many let
ters.
Improper treatment at hospitals and
the keeping of soldiers at such places
when they would be better off 1t theii
homes, is another Of the letters indiCt.
ments against the war department.
Chamberlain is expected to dwell OH
many of these points. BY reason of
his position as head of the military
committee no man in the senate has
more knowledge of the military affairs
than Chamberlain.
