A Thousand Yous

When you pick up your morning or afternoon newspa-
per and glance over the advertising you quite uncon-
sciously multiply yourself a thousand times.
In half or three-quarters of an hour you, metaphorically
speaking, visit every progressive store in town. You
virtually poke your head into every department of ev-
cry department store. You run. into the florists, the
confectioners, the oculsts, the leading groceries,
banks, theaters, all the various places that supply the
things that make this the twentieth century and life
worth the living. Here is a greater choice in clothing,
food, furniture, books, pictures, musical instruments,
travel, entertainment, opportunities for investment, the
service of public utility corporations than any monarch,
of old could command.
1t would easily take a thousand yous, travelling hard all
day, to find out for yourself what the advertisements
tell you in a few minutes morning or evening.
They deserve your attention. They deserve your conf
dence. Without them, without the progressive spirit of
the merchants and manufacturers who back them, the
great abundance of things you now enjoy would be a
memory-or something still to be realized. Without
advertising the prices you would have to pay for many
of the necessities you now buy for a few pennies would
make a dollar look like a SNOWFALL on the kitchen range.
Read the advertisements. Read them for your own in
formation and advantage. Read them to encourage the
advertisers who are making these better things possible
for you.

sufficient In his opinion.

ways Receiver Says
WAGE LEVEL TO
REMAIN AS AT PRESENT |

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Immediate
steps to increase the revenues OF the
street railway systems Of the country
must be taken to save many OF them
from going by the board Job Hedges
receiver for the New York Railways
Company, yesterday told the Federal
Electric Railways Commission.
Urgent need Of action was empha-
sized in the testimony OF Mr. Hedges
who bluntly favored fat fare Increases
He was seconded by Homer l.. Fergu-
son, president Of the United states
Chamber Of Commerce; Samuel r. Ber-
tron, Of Bertron. Griscom a Company.
New York bankers; J. X. Neuman, OF
the New Orleans Railway and Light
Company, and John J. Stanley, presi-
dent Of the Cleveland Railways Com
pany.
Mr.. Hedges statement that Slany
roads stood In imminent danger OF
going under n something was not done
came after Commissioner Sweet vice
chairman Of the commission, had re-
minded Mr.. Hedges that former Presi-
dent Taft as a member Of the War
Labor Board. had said that something
must be done 10 give the street rail-
road system relief
Mr.. Taft" said Commissioner sweet,
took the position that expenses could
not be reduced and he considered pres
ent high operating costs rather perma-
nent. What do you thinkT
II modestly differ as 10 the period of
time before we may recover said Mr..
Hedges. Everything has increased In
cost. 7 think prices are inflated as
result Of the war plus an added
amount imposed on the purchase by
not knowing what an article should
cost. We are still making the war an
excuse for prices think the prices OF
materials and the price OF wages forced
zach other up; I don't know which
took the FIRST step.
"The period OF recovery and the res
toratlon Of the purchasing power Of the
dollar depend upon the courage OF in
tellectual men in discussing things as
they are"
"Can you ray how long 10 win be-"
asked Commissioner Sweet.
1T would be merely a guess; don't
think anybody knows. and a mans
opinion is worth nothing except IN his
OWN estimation. But n Is a matter Of
months. not years. with the electric
railway systems. They must have re-
lief or 60 by the board"
Mr.. Hedges said he believed II the
electric railway commission should rec
ommend higher fares and picture the
situation as it exists, the public gener-
ally would be fair and acquiesce. The
public he said, Is becoming more and
more respectful Of facts and opinions
reflected from te seat a. the national
government. The cities themselves. Mr..
Hedges said. could meet the situation
temporarily by amending franchises
and permitting higher fares. which
