now ADVERTISING PAYS

There Is no longer any argument
as TO the value OF advertising for the
man who has something n sell. II
has more than proved I've worth.
Business success Is now generally
accepted as bounded on advertising,
and the more effective the advertise
ing. the more successful the business.
1t is still worth while. however. to
call attention to the value OF adver-
Using from the pooint OF view Of the
man who wants to buy. Advertising
renders a service to the customer
no less important than that which
il renders TO the dealer.
In these days OF technical methods
and large scale production 1t is q
physical impossibility that pur-
chaser should know, at first hand,
all the features and details that enter
into manufactured articles. He has
to gain Information by short cuts
and here advertising helps him. The
advertising OF a manufacturers pro-
duct differs from others; what its
special merits are, and for what Dur-
pose It may best be used. Whether
the purchaser wants washing ma
chine or an automobile, advertising
is his guide. for through advertising
he Is able TO choose the model best
adapted to his needs.
Furthermore. advertising is OF great
value to the man who buys with a
close watch on the values his dol
lara retirn to tfm BY consistently
following the advertisements in HIS
daily paper hs Is able to buy what
he needs at prices that often mean
considerable savings over the usual
costs.
The Information and Education
Service. Department Of Labor, believes
this Is time TO encourage buying.
in order that business, now resuming
after the war, may be made normal
as quickly as possible. Buying now
means aid in resumption of business;
Il Is an act of patriotism, just as It
was patriotic to refrain from buying
during the war. But now, as at any
other time. buying should be under
taken wisely; and there is no better
guide TO sane, constructive purchase
ing than advertisements.

sive doctrines even among the Nor
thern negroes, without concern. espe-
clally IN view of the tendencies of
these agitators to demand measures
against the southern people. That the
administration should even indirectly
encourage such agitation is an out,
rage, in their opinion.
The organization most prominent
in this work is the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of the Col
ored People, largely financed by some
Of the highbrow supporters of the adj
ministration in New York, and sun
ported by the pacifist element like
Oswald Garrison Willard.
Organize Blacks.
Mary White 0vington, one of the
leaders of this organization. has been
very busy in Ohio organizing the ne
groes and denouncing the South. It is
asserted that the administration has
been playing up to mer who claim to
be negro leaders and the Creel bureau
paid the expenses of many negro ed
itors on junkets supposed to be con-
nected with "war work" On some
OF these trips the negro editors were
harrangued by northern Democrats on
the subject of the presidents alleged
purpose to force reforms" for the
negroes in the South and to be the
negroes friend.
The charter of some of these pub
lieations is atrocious. One of them
recently in backing up the Japanese
demand for a declaration for trace
equality" at the peace conference used
this headline: "Wars Are Only Be-
ginning, Every Negro Youth Should
Be Armed"
The Postoffice Department, which
has been little severe on some types
of radical publications, allows this in
flammatory stuff to circulate openly.
The appointment of Norman Hap
good as minister to Denmark rather
sticks in the crop of many southerns
who recall his villification of the
South and his wife's circulation among
the viciously South-baiting negro agi-
tators in New York.
The National Association for the
Advancement of the Colored People
makes practice of addressing im,ou-
dent kilograms to southern governors.
Readers might just as well be inform
ed that this organization is largely
composed Of Socialists, black, white
snd tan, !,
