THE POWER OF ADVERTISING.

1t used to take a generation, or two
or three. to build a big business no
matter how good the merchandise nor
how able the management, says
writer in Leslie's. Now there are
many cases where a manufacturer of
a few hundred thousand pounds of
something has advertised his output
up to five. ten, or twenty million
pounds, and done it in five years.
Glance at our infant giant, the auto
mobile industry. Born somewhere about
1900, and now running at the rate of
two billions per year. OF course this
industry was bound to grow great in
time. because man wanted individual
transportation. But 1t took advertising
to do It quickly, to let man know that
what he wanted was ready at hand at
a fair price for immediate delivery
And it took advertising to make him
an intelligent purchaser and an in
telligent user.
So with many Industries. great and
small, but all greater and better be-
cause OF their direct contact with that
simple yet powerful force, consumer
understanding.
Our supply of periodical literature
daily, weekly. monthly-is nothing
short of a marvel both in quality and
quantity. There are now approximate
ly twenty-three thousand regular pub
lications printed in the American
language. Advertising makes this pos
sible. This one benefit to the people
is so far-reaching and so far beyond
estimate that one dare not say how
vastly our civilization is indebted.
Doubtless the most direct and OBJ
vious benefits OF advertising have to
do with the variety, quality and con-
dition of the things we buy. In the
old days when goods of unknown char
acter were sold by a merchant of
known character, both he and his GUS
toners suffered many disappointments
and injustices. Nowadays a manufac-
turer puts his name and address on his
wares and says in public print to all
the world. These goods are o. K.-I
know because I make them. My repu-
tation and my fortune are behind them
as a perpetual guarantee of quality
condition, and fair dealing"
Poor. disappointing wares will no,
long stand up under that kind of pitt
less publicity" But honest goods hon.
estly advertised soon build up a mutual
goodwill between maker and consumer
which is little short of personal friend
ship. This results in better nerchsn-
disc and better business. to the eco
nomic gain Of everybody.

TROUBLE AND ENVY.
Trouble comes to every man
Tho he lives the best he can,
None so good but now and then
He must bear the cares OF men,
None so rich that he can pay
Grief and rain to stay away;
None SO strong but he must know
All weaker brothers woe.
Glory gives no guarantee
That you shall be trouble free.
And the gold you strive to keep
Cannot say you shall not weep
He that walks the ways Of earth
Must at times be lost to mirth;
Each must have his share of rain
And it's useless to complain.
Envy no mans costlier dress
1t may cover keen distress;
In the rich mans home may be
Loneliness ard misery
And the great man, brave and good,
II we only understood
May be suffering bitterer woes
Than his humber brother knows.
Each must feel the hurt Of pnin
Each must take his share Of rain.
None car go thru life without
Coming face to face with doubt
And the price OF fame and gold
May be bitter griefs untold:
Trouble comes to every man
Tho he live the best he can.

THE BULL MOOSE PLAN.

THE BULL MOUSE Pl4AN.
Thru the medium of his newspaper
william Allen White has been dealing
out a large amount of advice to the
Republican party. Some of the advice
is good, some bad and some indiffer-
ent.
The best part of it is contained in
the suggestion that the party send the
tariff issue to the scrap heap. Every
time the Republicans have gone to the
country on the tariff issue they have
been defeated. 1t is almost certain
that this part of history would re-
peat itself.
Much of what the Emporia editor
says of the Democrats is true. But
by all rules Of the political game they
should be able to maintain control of
the government for at least another
four years and it will take something
more than Mr.. Whites platform to
pry them loose. The people have
learned to place little faith in party
platforms any way.
I'VE should kick Wall Street out
and let the people have their way"
says Editor White. Time was when
declared opposition to Wall Street was
good for many votes. but that time
has passed. The cry of Wall Street
has lost its potency. What lingering
power it had. to arouse the proletariat
| disappeared with our entrance into the
war never more to return. The coun-
try now realizes that we would have
presented a sorry spectacle in the great
world conflict had it not been for the
Street and the interests which 1t rep
resents. 1t furnished most of the dol
lar-a-day men and the money.
Quoting from the White platform:
We should give labor a larger part
| than 1t now has in industrial man
Dor. improving the conditions of Ia
I Dor; increasing the wages OF labor,
and also deepening the responsibility
of labor for the output of our indus
| tries.
( This attitude toward labor is all
right in itself but it would win few
votes. Labor has learned to look out
for itself and no longer is beholden to
political parties. Besides it is notori-
ously ungrateful for favors as was
shown in the election last November
1t usually ignores it's friends and cod
dies its enemies. And it makes this
policy win.
Mr.. Whites demand that 1--WE
should look after the disabled soldier
see that he is re-educated, and re-em-
ployed and that his family is not in
need" loses force thru the fact that
the Democrats already are doing that
very thing.
To dislodge the Democrat party from
power, next year. will be ne easy task
The party. despite the many blunders
it has made, will go into the campaign
with the prestige of having won the
war. Besides it still has a card ur
its sleeve in the shape of intervention
in Mexico, and may play it at any time
And who can say that it would not be
good for a trick?

Selling government bonds, at a dis
count, or even at par, is about the
worst sort Of financiering that can be
imagined. Liberty bonds seem des-
tined to pay the hoder about 100 per
cent on his investment over and above
the interest which he receives. These
bonds were bought with dollars worth
not more than so cents each when
measured by what they would buy of
commodities. BY the time the govern
ment rcdeems these bonds the dollars
which it will return to the bond holder
probably will be worth 100 cents when
measured by commodities. Besides
this the bond holder now is receiv-
ing from 3h to an per cent interest
on his investment which is as good as
faom to 91k per cent if he reinvest
it instead of spending it. Liberty
bonds should be commanding a big
premium instead of selling at a dis
count. The fact that they are not
seems to be due to shortsightedness on
the part of the public. Persons who
are parting with their bonds are giving
up the most profitable investment they
ever made.

Those supplies OF food which the
sacrifices OF the people enabled the
government to accumulate now are be-
ing held by that same government to
enable food merchants to maintain
war prices. The delay in marketing
this food has resulted in the spelling
OF million OF pounds of ham and ba-
con. The supplies are deteriorating
They become less salable and usable
with every passing week. Delay will
accomplish as much for the profiteers
as direct action. If the war depart
ment hold back the supplies long
enough there will be no break in the
profiteering dividends. And that ap-
pears to be the thing desired above
all else by the secretary OF war.

A remarkable Jump in exports dur
fng June brought the total for the fis-
cal year 1919 to more than seven bill
lion dollars. a new record. according
to a statement issued by the depart
nent Of commerce. The June exports
are put at s91S.OOO.oOO which exceeds
the previous high record, established
in April OF this year, by more than
5000, 100000. The exports for June OF
last year were valued at s4s4.Ooo. 900.
Total exports for the fiscal year stand
at s7.225, 900. 900. as compared with
5000. 900. 600 for the fiscal year 1913.
This is more than three times the ex-
ports for 1914. the last normal year.
