Publicity for Indiana

1T has been suggested that not only would it
be advisable for cities to have publicity agents.
but that it would be equally advantageous for In
diana to have publicity expert, says The India
napolis Star. 'At first. there might seem to be
some difficulties in the way of such plan and
perhaps some might urge that there is no need
for an organized publicity on the part of any one
of our great states.
"However something may be said for the sug-
gestion. We have come to recognize the place Of
legitimate publicity in modern life. We have all
been made to feel that one of the outstanding
accomplishments of the war was the success of
extensive publicity. Millions of dollars spent
by the government and its various agencies to
promote the loans and drives for selling bonds,
raising money and dispensing the necessary in
formation. 1t is certain that with times of peace
we shall not fall back into a haphazard method of
reaching the public in any great cooperative en-

Getting Back to Barter

Evidently the present economic condition
moves the Manchester Guardian to believe that
we may return to the day of bartering before a
normal status is reached Seeing that one coun-
try needs COAL which is not found under it's soil !;
and another having coal but no wheat, which is
raised in abundance in the former country the
Guardian believes it is not so much question of
having money to buy coal or wheat, as it is
simple problem Of trading coal for wheat and vice
versa. Says the Guardian:
Money is very poor thing, and it is only
useful average occasions under average cir
cumstances in average times. In early times
people bartered things for things. If you wanted
a dress you gave harn and if you wanted ham
you gave flour. Then came the institution of
money, commonly confused with the thing it
buys. But on really big occasions barter again
comes into play, and money only serves a
means of counting values.
countries, for instance, want coal, but today
money will by no means always buy coal. Margar-
inc will buy coal, so will nitrates, so will food.
Money to starving people is Of no use except
as mode of reckoning, and only goods in kind
can really serve as payment. And so we are real
ly back again at the beginning, when barter was
the only means of exchange"

Air Protection

The fatalities and injuries attending the des-
truction of gigantic dirigible and its crashing
through the roof of Chicago bank building sug-
gests that the state and federal governments may
be forced to adopt regulations governing the
flights of airplanes and blimps.
Although aviation has scored marked pro-
gress in the last five years. laws governing flights,
pilots and "rules of the sky have not kept pace
with its development. The catastrophe at Chi
cago seems to be due to mechanical defect which
permitted ignition of the dirigibe. Whether the
accident in the loop district will result in laws
prohibiting flights over cities, whether such
legislation is desirable. is point that cannot be
decided by catastrophe.
Hitherto the suggestion of aviators that regu-
lations regarding flights are in order have been
received with credulity by most people, who could
hardly believe that an accident to airplane
blimp might involve death and injury to persons
many hundreds of feet below.

terprise There will be many opportunities to go
before the people with all kinds of appeals such
as campaigns for the dissemination of knowledge,
about disease to man, domestic animals and crops,
campaigns for better rural conditions and for
wiping out illiteracy.
But there is another side to this matter. Few
of our citizens realize the sources, in scenery, in
opportunity The splendid soil, coal, lumber as
we'll as the beautiful hills, woodlands rivers and
lakes the opportunities for business enterprises
as we'll as the advantages for comfortable and
happy home life-all these features would be
never ending inspiration to any one who would
wish to present truthfuy and wildly the facts
about our state.
This would have practical value, which
could scarcely be imagined. There is yet another
side. An important element in all legitimate ad-
vertising is the psychological effect upon the ad-
vertiser. Recently most successful n1anufac-
turer employing: thousands of asserted that

Using because of the effect which would be pro-
duced upon the people who worked for him when
they read in TIN, pages of the daily papers and
the great weekies statements to the quality
of the articles which they were helping to make.
It might react in this same way upon the pride
of the people of Indiana if we were confronted
now and then with the facts of our varied life
within our borders. And if by any such desire it
would be possible to create atmosphere of
greater contentment, there would be less room
for the omniprese at knocker who is always seeing
something so much more wonderful just beyond
the state line.

Creating Thousand Dollar Estate

The value of life insurance is pretty generally
But the Atlanta Constitution pre-
sents phase of this question which is worth
about. 1t says:
How much are you worth today? In other
words, if you were to pass out tonight and your
personal belongings became estate, what
would it be worth? How much would your wife
and children have to live on until they adjusted
themselves to the loss of the bread-winner of the
family?
1t is subject worth thinking about.
With the cost of living advancing, it is very
difficult for even the cautious spender to save
much during each year. and it is sometimes diff
cult to invest that little at rate of interest that
is remunerative if the investment is secure. And
the savings-account grows very slowly, entirely
too slowly to be of great account in the case of
your death.
1t is into this breach that life insurance in
reliable company comes as an aid to the man
who desires to save little and at the same time
protect his family from want in case of his
DEATH
Certainly any man can save $25 or $50 per
year, and with this, if in good health, young
man between ages 20 and 80 can instantly create
for his family estate of $1,000 in of his
death.
How else can man invest so small sum in
way to produce such excellent results? At the
rate of S25 per year it would take forty years to
pile up 81 900, unless each payment was improved
at interest, and in case of his death in the mean
time his family would receive only the amount of
his savings Invested in good life insurance
policy, it Immediately places $1,000 protection be-
tween his family and poverty, and against it he
can always borrow in of urgent need.
