NOW is THE TIME

TOR MONTHS the United States government
1 urged all business men to realize that they
could "sell" prosperity to the country by
big, bold advertising 1t urged everybody to
advertise heavily; if they were already adver'
tsing, to increase their expenditures and
broaden their publicity campaign; and if they
were not advertising, to begin an aggressive
campaign.
Never was better business advice given,
never was it more fully accepted, and never
was there greater demonstration Of the wis
dom of such advice, says the Manufacturers
Record. Business men everywhere commenced
to advertise more freely and on broader lines,
Many men who had never done much adVer-
tising saw a new light and began to advertise,
while old-time advertisers made larger appro-
prations and gave greater heed to the almost
limitless power of publicity.
The result is everywhere in evidence. The
confidence displayed by heavy advertising be
gat confidence. The optimism Of advertisers
created optimism, and the pessimists SUNK
back into their holes and pulled the holes in
after them-permanently buried face down
ward, as is the Just desert of every man who
becomes pessimst in America.
Many men who at first did not see Just how
advertising could help their individual bus-
ness. nevertheless they too, if broad in vision
and patriotic in spirit began to advertise, fol
lowing the governments advice and soon they
felt pde in being numbered among the bust
ness leaders who were doing their part toward
bringing prosperity to the country and thus
helping to destroy the seeds Of bolshevism,
which fructify in poverty soils and which die
in soils where prosperity is flourshing.
Largely as an outcome Of this splendid
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 travel
ing toward the land Of poverty and anarchy,
is headed straight on the road to the land OF
Astounding national prosperity, and this glor-
Gus change is largely due to the power of ad-
vertising. which created an air of OPTIMISM
and as a nation thinketh in its heart, so it is
The nation is now thinking in terms Of pubhcl-
ty-created prosperity, and it realizes as never
before that advertising is the great power
which has saved us from stagnatlon and unem-
and that advertising, big, broad ana
intelligent advertising, will keep the nation
travelling safely on the road of prosperity.
Advertising is, therefore, as so strongly pre-
sented by the federal government, work OF
patriotism as well as of enlightened selfish
business interest.

n NE CANNOT BE too careful in analyzng
, ~ any news that comes out of Germany and
is "made in Germany" but it may be
said that if the talk of sending MaXimiian Har-
den as German ambassador to Washington is
sincere, that is the best news FROM Berlin in
many months. If the Germans send Harden to
Washington, they will be giving evidence that
they really want to do the decent thing.
Harden is the most progressive man in Ger
many, the most democratic person, the most
courageous citizen. Never during the long
years of the war did he fail--eXcept when
clapped into prison for his fearlessness-to
thunder forth in his newspaper against the
asininity and the stupidity and the criminahty
of the kaiserstc crew.
The case of Harden was extraordinary.
Just why the imperial German government
permitted him to live through the war is a
mystery yet to be made clear. Very probably
there was in Germany an underlying drift to
ward democracy and decency which the kaiser
great journalist who stood for democracy and
decency. History may clear up this point. For
the present it is enough to know that Maxi
milan Harden is 'mentioned,' to say no more,
for the American ambassadorship. If he shall
turn out to be the selection when diplomatic
relations are resumed, Germany will have at
Washington the most interesting envoy she
ever yet has sent to represent her in this coun-
try.
Harden will furnish mighty good newspa-
per copy, also, by the way.
