In this age every legitimate business should be
advertised. People read advertising, look for adj
vertising, and depend upon advertising for infor-
nation on many things from day to day. This
was not always so-but it is so now.
Once we WALKED when we went to bust
ness, but nobody walks any more unless it is by
choice. Telephones, street cars and automobiles
came in and quickened the PACE OF THE CON-
MUNlTY, so that no person who amounts to any
thing in the general scheme of things CAN AF-
FORD to walk. r.:
Once we DID NOT ADVERTISE, but present.
day methods move like the FAST EXPRESS, as.
compared to the old order of things and the REAL
ones GET ABOARD-while the pkers bob along
hand car
To get there, now days, one must move with
the procession, make a noise like business man,
advertise, advertise in the newspaper.
The man who buries himself on back street
somewhere and hangs out no sign and inserts no
advertising in the newspaper TO say WHERE HE
IS-and WHY HE Island WHY HE'S THERE
has a slow climb ahead t-"H
But EVERYONE soon gets to know the man or
the business that is advertised in the NEWS

OWNED BY THE u. S.

WASHINGTON. Dec. i7.-complete-
tion OF the great merchant marine con-
structlon program as it now stands
modified To- meet the coming OF peace
and still further ertension OF shipbuild-
ing is recommended by the United
States Shipping Board In its second an
nual report TO Congress. The question
OF a permanent merchant marine pro-
gram is left for future determination,
the board indicating that il will have
suggestions regarding both develop
ment and operation at the conclusion
OF Investigations now in progress.
Under the head OF Recommends
tions' the board says.
Because all OF the subjects which
relate TO costs OF construction and to
costs, policies, and practices in opera
tion are so closely interrelated, the
shipping Board feels that II should not,
at this time, make any specific recon-
mendations TO the Congress for legis-
lation on the subjects under investiga-
tion and related subjects until the stud
les which the board is now undertak-
ing, have been further developed. The
force Of present conditions limits tom
mage available for commercial use for
an indefinite period, because such ton
mage will be needed TO supply our arm
les overseas and TO bring them home.
Moreover, Europe must be fed and sup
piled with the necessary materials, 70
permit the reconstruction OF devastated
areas in order that both our friends
and our enemies may become self-sup-
porting and the burden OF feeding the
world taken from our shoulders. There
fore, the board recommends generally
that the program for the reconstruction
Of vessels as modified TO meet peace
conditions should be carried through
and should be extended.
1T feels that until the situation is
further developed It should not recon-
mend specifically the degree nor the
manner in which the programme
should be extended. In view Of these
circumstances, the board deems it ad-
vsable 10 submit TO the Congress at a
future date is recommendations in
these particulars"
Describing the tremendous feet now
operated by the government, the report
shows how enemy tonnage was secured,
not only by taking over vessels in
termed in United States harhors. but by
purchasing and ohartering from other
nations, which likewise had seized Ger
