SELLING OPTOMIsM
From The Manufacturers Record)

(From The Manufacturers Record)
For months the United States gov
ernment urged all business men to
realize that they could "sell' prosper
ity to the country by big, bold adver-
tising 1t urged everybody to adver-
tise heavily; if they We're already ad-
vertising, to increase their expendi-
lures and broaden their publicity cam
paign; and if they were not advertis-
ing, to begin an aggressive campaign.
Never was better business advice
given, never was it more fully accept
ed, and never was there greater de-
monstration of the wisdom of such ad-
menced to advertise more freely and
on broader lines. Many men who had
never done much advertising saw a
new light and began to advertise.
while old-tine advertisers made larger
appropriations and gave greater heed
to the almost limitless power of pub
licity.
The result is everywhere in evidence.
The confidence displayed by heavy ad-
vertising begat confidence. The op-
timism of advertisers created optim-
ism, and the pessimists skunk back in
to their holes and pulled the holes in
after them-permanent buried face
downward, as is the just dessert of
every man who becomes pessimist in
America.
Largely as an outcome of this splen-
did work, vigorously conducted by the
Secretary of Labor and to whom great
credit is due. every one now realizes
that the country has taken the right
road at the forks, and instead Of
travelling toward the land of poverty
and anarchy. is headed straight on the
road to the land of abounding national
prosperity. and this glorious change
is largely due to the power of adver-
tising, which created an air of optim-
ism. and as a nation thinketh in its
heart. SO is it.

Don't Know the Valley

The La Junta papers, after the re
cent failure of an advertised air flight
there, complained that it seemed as ii
the valley would never get to see one
Of these birds. With their usual con-
ceit they think little Otero county is
the valley. As much as eight years
ago Mr.. Maxwell had flying exhibi-
tions at the Prowers county fair eaci,
year, and Holly business men own and
exhibit one of the critters. 1t was tho
irony of fate that when Otero county
people did fin:lly get to see one. IL
was the Holly plane and it was merely
passing over them TO give exhibitions
ut the fair Of their real live neishbor
in Crowley county.

The consolidation of the Worlds

been formed by merging the pick and
the cream of all that was biggest and
best in the two famous shows. 1t
would be folly to attempt to enumer-
ate its many wonders. Some idea Of
the enormous scale upon which fea-
lures are presented may be had when
1t is stated that a quarter of million
pounds of elephants take part in a

have ever before been seen in one main
tent exhibition. All else to be seen is
in proportion The arenic stars en-
brace all the worlds foremost circus
performers There are three hours of
novelties and big sensational acts. The
menagerie is far and away the most
colossal ever Travelled. For instance
a herd of eight girafes are exhibited
in place of the two or three shown in
the past. The great tournament which
"Opens the main-tent program, is the
most magnificent thing in pageantry
yet produced in America. Hundreds
upon hundreds Of gorgeously costumed
characters and beautiful horses take
part in it. The morning street parade
is the longest and most brilliant ever
given anywhere. 1t is stupendous,

Colorado Year Book

The 1919 issue Of the Colorado Year
Book, prepared and published by the
State Immigration Bureau, is complet-
ed and is now being distributed. 1t
is the second book Of its kind publish
ed by the State of Colorado and il
ume of general information regard
ing state resources and development
published by any state.
The first Year Book, published In
1918, met with such general favor that
the state legislature, in order to pro-
vide for the continuity Of the stats
teal records it contained, enacted =
law requiring its publication annually
by the Immigration Bureau. The sec
ond volume follows in a general way
the plan and style of the first. but It
is much more complete and contains a
large amount of information that was
not available for the first book. All
statistical information has beeL revised
and brought up to date and several
new sets Of tables have been begun.
The most important new feature is
the agricultural tables, giving for the
various counties the agricultural infor-
nation collected by county ASSESSORS
this year under law enacted by the
22nd General Assembly. There are
nine of these tables this year, contain
ing the acreage by counties Of all the
principal crops in the state this year
and other agricultural information
gathered by the county assessors. Pro-
duction Of crops by counties is not
available this year, but will be pub
lished next year and each subsequent
year.
The book this year contains 22o
pages, 2S pages more than the 1915
book. Among the added items of In
formation this year are complete list
Of the banks Of the state, the names
OF the mayors and clerks Of all incor-
porated cities and towns Of the state,
names and locations of all Colorado
postoffices and wide range Of ststis-
teal information.
Several hundred Colorado people aid
ed in the preparation Of the volume
by furnishing information requested.
Among those who have furnished this
information. in addition to county as-
SCISSORS, are mayors. town and city
clerks, county clerks. commercial clubs
executives and many others.

NEW CHURCH BUILDING
baptist Congregation Will Soon Erect
One Of Finest Church Buildings
in the Valley.

Rev. 7. f. Kelly this week showed
us the plans for the new Baptist church
building which will be erected by his
congregation in the near future. The
tentative plans were drawn and dis
cussed over two years ago, but when
the war started and all energies of the
people were turned to furnishing the
funds for carrying it on, the board
decided to postpone further work. Now,
however, they are ready to go ahead
and have had permanent plans drawn
by Architect Geo. w. Roe, of Pueblo.
The structure when completed will be
in every way worthy of the city. 1t
is estimated to cost about 100000 and
will be in dimensions approximately
4S 70 feet. The basement will con-
tain the Sunday school rooms and also
thorough equipment for all sorts Of
church socials and entertainments. The
first floor will have large auditorium
with class rooms and study, but SO ar
ranged as TO be all thrown open to-
gether when needed. Above will be
a fine. gallery. When open to full ex-
tent it will have the largest seating
capacity Of any building in our city
now. The building will be situated on
the site of the present church edifice
and the latter will be moved to another
location to be used during the period
of construction. The congregation is
one of the strongest in our city and is
amply able to build this handsome
structure which will be an attraction
and ornament to our city. 1t is ex-
pected that the work Of construction
will not be long delayed now.

All bills for merchandise, freight and

endorsed by Miss Florence Sayler.

no charge for services or expense.
Early in the organization of the

Our Annual Raid

"kink Woody with forty thousand
Marched into Mexico and then march
ed out again"
The U. S. government as constituted
by Woodrow Wilson has again pulled
its annual stunt of marching into Mex
leo with wooden cannon, broom stick
rifles and toy airplanes. and killed
just enough Mexicans to make them
mad and then marched back across the
border, leaving what Americans are
still in that country at the mercy of
the infuriated natives. The present
administration has made speciality of
this sort of thing and has made some
kind of "A demonstration each year To
increase the anger of the Mexicans
against the Americans. As result
over thousand American citizens
have been murdered in cold blood
and our government as now constitut-
ed is guilty Of being accessory to their
murder. All this expense and blood
shed is absolutely unnecessary as it
was evident when MIR. Taft mobilized
the army on the Mexican border in
the spring of 1913 and turned them
over to Woodrow Wilson that we would
have to clean up on Mexico sooner or
Later and putting off the day is only
aggravating the situation.

CROP NEWS

The Colorado Cooperative Crop Re-
porting Service, which was organized
six months ago, is now publishing
monthly the condition of all principal
crops for Colorado by counties, instead
of simply for the state as a whole. as
has been done in the past. In its ef
forts to furnish this county service
and to make all reports as accurate
the number Of reports ON crop condi-
tions received from many of the coun-
ties is altogether too small to reflect
accurately conditions in those counties.
For that reason it is urging every per
son who feels interested in having the
condition of crops shown accurately
every month and who is reasonably
familiar with conditions in his county
to write to the Cooperative Crop Re-
porting Service at the Capital building,
Denver, and obtain blanks for making
monthly reports. This work on the
part of reporters is entirely voluntary
and carries with it no obligations fur
ther than an honest effort to show
accurately crop conditions in the terri
tory for which reports are being made.
The service publishes a blank each
month, which is mailed to all who are
willing to aid in the work by devoting
to it not to exceed two hours each
month. Franked envelopes, which re-
quire no postage, are furnished for re-
turning the reports to Denver. About
500 reports are now being received
monthly and an effort is being made
to increase the number to l,50O.

Weather conditions throughout the
state have been generally favorable for
farming operations throughout the
state for the past ten days, though
there is need of rain in practically all
sections. The weather has been gen.
orally cool and dry and threshing of
small grains is progressing rapidly,
while harvesting Of late grain crops
is nearly finished. Reports of thresh-
ermen to the Cooperative Crop Report
ing Service indicate that the average
yield per acre of both winter and Of
spring wheat and of rye will be some
what lower than was shown by first
reports. The Arkansas Valley, the
San Luis Valley and parts of the west
ern slope are the only districts show
ing yields approaching normal.
