THE ADVERTISING CAME.

Every business, every public and every religious institution in one way or another has caught the advertising spirit. Some deny this. But what is the sign board over store, or the label on a can of tomatoes, or. the name and address on a paper bag anything else other than an ad. Even in strict church matters what is a newspaper church directory but an advertisement? The Rev. c. F. Reis- ner of New York city is advertising all phases of his church work as reg ularly thru the press as does his meat butcher and dairyman advertises. And why shouldn't he? Isn't religion as important as meat and drink Certainly. So why make so many hair-splitting discriminations and weak objections?
 1t is only few who can claim that they do not believe in advertising.
  They call it a money-making scheme and will refuse to do any of it and turn round and answer an ad from Cuba, Florida or California and drink their Coca Cola and Grape Juice all because they are attractively adver- tised. Such inconsistency did you ever hear of?
 True, advertising costs money. But what is 1t that don't cost something :? Even lodges, Sunday schools, mis- sions, Red Cross work, Salvation Ar mics, these free lectures, free shows, free sermons and all things else cost money. In sense no man ever gets anything free.

TO CARE FOR RAIL FINANCES.

Washington, April 13.-The rail roads may safely look ahead to in- terest, dividend and maturities to May without much worry. The war finance corporation and the bankers have arranged to look after the car riers that far ahead, and afterward it is expected that the load will be pass ed over to the shoulders of Congress. A special session is now looked for before June and perhaps May 15. Confidence in early action by Presi- dent Wilson is supported by know ledge that various government de- partments in addition to the Railroad Administration are in urgent need of money.
 The question of most vital interest to railroad security owners at pres ent is whether or not another freight rate increase will be made soon. The increase of 65 million dollars in the wage account last week, making the full increase approximately 1 billion dollars in the last sixteen months, in- dicated the need of greater income by the carriers, considering the situa- tion purely in relation to income and outlay. Doubtless many shippers would protest loudly against fur ther increase in carrying charges and the cost of living would feel the ef- feet, but whether these considerations would have the power to prevent an increase remains to be seen.
The Mena weekly star., 1919-04-17

principally upon ads alone, why can't legitimate business like farming, selling goods, preaching and teaching and hundred other things be greatly benefited by them. What if some one does get paid for getting up and printing these ads 7? Most every body else gets paid for what they do, un- less it be school directors and small bank presidents, and they would be more efficient and less friction take place, if they were paid for what they do. The people would actually respect them more. It is the same with ads. Let an ad run free and it would soon fail to get the proper attention and pains-taking care.
 Advertising means economy in time and money. Some have succeed ed without it, but their success would have been greater with it. A man can reach more people thru one ad- vertisement than he could in person reach in two months. Besides there are some things that can be boosted in print that would seem silly if said in private conversation with a cus- toner.
 The person who reads advertise ments, notices new signs, etc, are to be complimented. It shows youth and interest. Most people reaching old age and sooner, fail to see new things and an ad will always escape their notice, whereas, youngish person always sees everything either in print or out of it.
 Women are the greatest readers of ads. Wide-awake business men come next and the general public third. To all doubters close observation is in- vited to these points.
 There are dozen different ways of advertising. But is is doubtful if any of them can beat the newspaper meth cd. There is a newness or something to this kind of advertising that no calendar, circular, almanac or poster can in any way approach. This is probably due to it's close intimacy with news. There is no dance with out music, no army without a band, and unquestionably there can be no newspaper without it's ads. Anyway, those that haven't got it are, like some of our denominational church papers, very dull Even law books would be more interesting if they would carry few appropriate ads.

thru advertisements, what is it that our local merchants or our farming industry couldn't do it they once tried. Some concerns, like the manufactur- CTS of chewing gum, cold drinks and cosmetics will spend millions of dol lars a year in advertisements and a merchant or a farmer dealing in all the real essentials of life win often hesitate to spend one fve-cent piece all because some one else will get a part of it. The situation is really amusing.

POSTPoNES ATTEMPT
 TO CROSS ATLANTIC
Australian Aviator Held Back by a Dense Fog and Rain-British Air
 man Seeks to Make Race of It.


 St. Johns N. F., April 18.-Dense fog and drizzling rain today caused Harry C. Hawker, Australian aviator again to postpone his attempt to fly across the Atlantic in quest of fame and the S50,000 prize offered by the London Daily Mail. Yesterday a blustery southeaster made "hop-off' impossible.
 Hawker plans to begin his adven- ture at the first signs of favoring wind and weather, but mariners said tonight it might be a week before the misty curtain lifted.
 Meanwhile the transatlantic flight is developing rapidly real race. En- eouraged by the delays encountered by Hawker, Capt. k. P. Haynham British airman, is rushing the work of assembling his Martinsyde biplane, which he hopes to have ready in time to take the air at least as soon as Hawker's Sopwith machine "hops off"
 It was announced tonight that Raynham would make an attempt to get away Tuesday afternoon.

Constantinople, April 22.-Kemal Bey, governor of Diarbekr, has been publicly hanged at Bayazid Square in Stamboul in the presence of the mili- tary governor of Ccnstantinople and other high officials.
 Renal Bey was sentenced to death as one of those responsible for the Armenian deportations and massa- cres in the Yorzgha1 district. The foimer commander of the gendar- merle in Yozghad was sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment in the fortress.
 These sentences we.e confirmed by an imperial trade.
 The trial of those responsible for the Armenian massacres by the Turks began early in February at Constantinople. The prosecutor de- clared that it was necessary to punish the authors of the massacres which had filled the whole world with feel ing of horror.
