BOlshevist Gains Admitted.
Germany's more conservative po-
litical leaders frankly admit bolshe-

say the Reds may capture nifty seats
instead of the twenty-five which they
won a year ago. and that they may
poll 100000 instead Of the 2,7bo,oo0
they obtained in the last national
election. The conservatives, however.
assert that the independent. spart1clst
and communist elements will become e
less popular as the opportunities Tor
work increases in Germany.
Political leaders say that indica-
tions point to an indefinite postpone,
ment of the elections on the ground
that the present government. on the
strength of its popular mandate, is
entitled to continue with program
of specialization at pace in keeping
with the nations economic recovery.
1t is pointed out also that the new
liberalism may satisfy itself with

1t is agreed by German industrial

that German industries are working

Berlin Writers Regard Working Out ofPeace

BERLIN. December II Correspond

The spectre of the enormous

German industrial fortunes in the

economic outlook of their country for

and social circles are divided in
their opinions of the measures for ma
tional relief proposed by Matthias
Erzberger. minister of finance.
There is widespread belief among
writers in Germany that if two of
Erzberger'S plans are put into effect
Germany will face a future overcast
with black clouds. if not actual ruin.
The most important of these two
measures is the emergency levy on

The regular session of Lamar Lodge
No. 1919, b. p. o. Elks. on Tuesday

enthusiastic over the plans for the
future of the local lodge. Frank Petrie

building their own home on the lots
on the corner of Fourth and Elm
streets was discussed. The order is
growing more rapidly now than any
other organization in the valley, and
the members are Of one mind with re-
gard to building a new home. 1t will
when completed be one too, Of which
both the members and city car well be
proud. With almost three hundred
MEMBERS and another big class well
under way now the order is on the
high road to prosperity.
Committees were appointed and ar
rangements made for the Flag Day
services on Saturday, June 14th. This
is one of the most impressive services
of the order and is open to the fam

ADVERTISING GAME
Easy TO Give Advice, But Not So Easy
To Satisfy The Man Who
Pays the Bills.

1t has become quite the fad in Prov
ers county as well as other localities
for newspapers to swell up and tell
the merchants that they are throwing
their money away advertising in any
other than through the papers and cit
ing the fact that practically all large
concerns do newspaper advertising.
We have not noticed any hurry up
calls for these so-called advertising ex-
'perts to quit the newspaper game and
take over the management of any
large town advertising departments.
Also you will generally find that the
man so free with advice has not made
anything near the success of his pa
per that the merchant has of his busi-
ness. Advice is cheapl
1t is true the big stores use news
paper space, but they also use all other
kinds of legitimate advertising as well.
The Register firmly believes the sue
cessful business man studies his ad-
vcrtising and uses the plan he finds
he gets the best results from. The
Register is in the printing game as a
business and our first aim is to salts
fly the man who is paying out his hard
cash for the printing. If he wants
newspaper advertising we have per-
fcctly good paper read by the best
people and best spenders in which we
will sell him space at reasonable rates.
If he wants paper of his own, we
print it-or anything else from post
age stamp to a circus bill. The
his choice. We are here to please
them. The fact that more of our work
has been reproduced in fac-simile in
the big trade journals of New York
and Chicago than any other printing
plant in this section, and our work
has been returned Il prize winner in
several big contests in which printing
from all size cities was entered, is
proof that there is class to our work.
That the business men appreciate
this policy is demonstrated by the fact
that last week alone we published
three large Monthly Bulletins for u
number of the leading firms Of the
city besides getting out our own paper
and doing multitude of small jobs.
In fact they have kept us so busy
tending to our business that we haven't
had time to run any body else's busi-
ness.
