ToDAY,s BIT OF VERSE
RolsEL ROAD.

.
/ have heard that sypsies dwell
Down the road to fair Roisel.
Tell me true, is this the way?
Surely ! have gone astray.
| have heard that gypsy song
Rings the happy way along.
This is not the road, l know,
Why should they have told me so?
I have heard that magpies flew
Black and white in skies of blue.
Surely this is not the way;
Ravens wing the dismal gray.
i have heard the fields were all
Powered as a gypsy shawl.
This is not the road they mean;
Not blossom have seen.
have often heard them tell
OF the road to fair Roisel.
Nothing did they say, | know,
OF these crosses row on row.
Who has strung that tangled wire.
Blackened hedge and tree with fire?
Is it thunder that | hear?
This is not the road, | fear.
Not thrill of laughter gay;
Surely this is not the way.
Tangled hedge and crumbled wall;
This is not the way at all.
There is not gypsy throng
Meier a strain from gypsy song;
ONLY ranks OF marching men,
must turn me back again

GOOD WILL ADVERTISING.

In a recent bulletin the Philadelphia Com
mercial Museum presents some facts good
will advertising as practiced by Great Brlta1n
during the war period. AS soon as the war be-
came the vortex in which all of the United
Kingdoms production was poured, her manu-
facturers determined that legitimate business
enterprise was in keeping their names and pro-
ducts before their customers in domestic and
world markets with the promise of resuming
manufacture and exports when the war ceased.
AS result, in the last four years the business
men of Great Britain have learned more con-
lcerning the Importance of building good Will
through advertising than they did III forty
wears preceding the war. British manufactur-
ers who had not a dollars worth OF merchan-
disc to sell, whose entire plants were employed
on government work, kept their advertising
continuously before the public, because while
they were perfectly wiling to turn their profits
over to the government, while they We're per-
fectlv willing for the sake OF winning the war
TO have their factories Communicated and their
normal business completely stopped, yet they
were not willing to sacrifice their good will;
they were not willing to have their names or
their products forgotten. And so they con-
tinued building their good will, so that when
the war was won there should be an immediate
demand for the billions of dollars worth of
merchandise that their greatly enlarged fac
tories would then turn out.
i In the United States this form Of advertising
did not keep pace with that of Great Britain
and many businessmen here believe that we
have been remiss in not adopting it promptly
and generally.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Knoxville journal: Ohio politicians

Pershing for the republican nominal
ton for the presidency in 1920.
Doubtless General Pershing will be
