HOW ADVERTISING PAYS
(McAlester News. Capital.

There is no longer any argument at
to the value of advertising for the man
who has something to sell. 1t has more
than proved its worth. Business success
is now generally accepted as founded
on advertising, and the more effective
the advertising, the more successlui
the business.
It is still worth while, however, TO
call attention to the value of adVertls
ing from the point of view of the man
who wants to buy. Advertising renders
n service to the customer no less I'M
rortant than that which it renders 10
the dealer.
In these days of technical methods
and large scale production it is physi'
cal impossbility that u purchaser
should know, at first hand. all the lea-
lures and details that enter into manu-
factured articles. He has to gain TINS
information by short cuts-and here ad'
vertising helps him. The advertising OF
a manufacturer tells him clearly anu
concisely Just how that manufacturer
product differs from others; what lts
snecial merits are, and what purposes
II may best be used Whether the pur'
chaser wants washing machine or an
automobile, advertising is his GUIDE lor
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 close
watch on the values his dollars return
to him. By consistently following the
advertisements in his daily paper he
is able to buy what he needs AT prices
that often mean considerable savings
over the usual costs.

HAS NO OBJECTIONS

DROFITEERINCi at Washington, d. c., has
r become such scandal that some OF the SEN
ators have begun discussing the matter OF
removing the national capital to some other
city, The movement is said to have started with
Senator Sherman of Illinois, who goes to mar
ket carrying his market basket and is peeVed
nightly because the Washngtonan grocer
gouges him for spinach which he can buy IN ms
home town at forty per cent less price ana WIN
fifty per cent less sand attached.
There used to be a preacher in st. Louis
whose hobby was the removal of the national
capital to that city. For almost generation he
preached st. Louis as the national capital. Later
and until few years ago, the little zinc mining
town of Aurora, Mo-, had the national capital
craze, the promoters getting much publicity for
their plan Now and then some other city or
town bobs up and achieves the front page as
possible substitute for Washington, d. c., then
subsidies into oblivion's pool.
But nevertheless, there is very good reason
for the removal of the capital of the United
States to some point several hundred miles to
the west. When Washington selected as
the seat of government the population of this
country was limited to few millions of people
clnging to the Atlantic seaboard and the AL
leghanies. The great Middle West was un-
pioneered, and the vast Far West was almost
unimagined. Now the population center is said
to be somewhere in Indiana, but that does not
argue for the selection of Indianapolis or Terre
Haute as the national capital. Population still
pushes westward, with southwestern trend.
Ardmore-well, why not? We leave it
with you to develop the national capital boom
as local asset.

A Tip from The Daily Oklahoman

But the benefit is derived from the
fact that the men and women of
one state are familiar with the
modes OF thought and viewpoints
of the residents of other states.
1t is just such an understanding
that must be promoted between the
various nations of the world before
there can be the much-dreamed.of
Brotherhood of Man. The League
of Nations is a step in that direc-
ton. But the League is merely an
agreement. Backing the league,
there must be a constantly i'm
proving understanding between
the various nations, of the problems
of each. The interchange of news
paper men would undoubtedly help
promote a better understanding and
would thus bring nearer that great
day when people can honestly say
they have no fear of future wars.

HUNGARIANS WILLING TO
STOP FIGHTING SLOVAKS.

London, June 11.-Bela Kun, the Hun
garian communist foreign minister, in
reply to a message from Premier CIem
enceau, according to a wireless dispatch
from Budapest, agrees to stop hostill-
ties with the Czecho-S -Slovaks, although
he claims the CZechs are to blame Tor
the fighting because they disregarded
the frontier fixed by the allies.
The Hungarian leader suggests that
a commission be appointed to settle the
difficulties between the Czechs and the
Hungarians.
Bella Kun also expresses satisfaction
that the allies have invited Hungary to
the peace conference.

international Goodwill

Express would be working on The
Daily Oklahoman, in Oklahoma
City. Upon the expiration Of the
agreed period, the Englishman
would leave oklahoma City and
resume his work on The London
Daily Express. After that, when
ever any Interpretation of Ameri-
can news or views was desired by
the editor of The London Daily
Express, the Englishman who had
worked on The Daily Oklahoman
would be asked for his advice. He
would be able to give them fairly
accurate information because he
would have lived among Ameri-
cans and would know, to some eX'
tent at least, their customs and
ideals. In a similar way, The Daily
Oklahomans staff man who would
return to Oklahoma City after
service with the London Daily EX-
press would be able to give an ac-
curate Interpretation of EngliBh
news and views for The Daily Ok
lahomans 5 readers.
There would, of course, be no
agreement as 10 the views that
either British or American news
papers should take. The benefit
of the plan would he the interpre-
tation of foreign viewpoints and
acts. with a knowledge of that ma
tons problems, and at the same
time through American eyes. a
much better understanding of each
others troubles would thus be pro
NOTED and many jealousies and sus-
picions caused by ignorance would
be eliminated.
The solidarity of the American
nation, today is due largely to the
fact that, in every state there are a
number of men and women who
have lived in other states. In Ok
lahoma, for instance, are former
residents of almost every state in
the country and on the staffs of
Oklahoma newspapers are men who
have worked on newspapers in
other states. This interstate good
will be promoted greatly, it is true
by tht fine network of transpor-
tation lines and the fellowship of
men and women from different
states, at universities and colleges.

There have been novel suggest
ions for promoting a better under
standing between nations but prob
ably the most practical that has
been brought forward is the inter
change of trained writer's by the
periodicals of Great Britain and
the United States. This suggestion
is made by Ralph ID. Blumenfeld,
editor of the London Daily EN-
press. in a recent issue Of Editor
and Publisher magazine.
Although it is explained that
Stephen Lausanne, editor Of lie
Matin. of Paris, France was the
first TO suggest World Press
League, his idea seems less feasible
than that of Blumenfeld's. Lau-
zanne proposed that annual con
ventions be held each year in a
different country and center Of
population, in order that views
might be exchanged and a definite
policy be arrived at concerning the
best means of promoting the vel
fare of humanity by means Of pub
licity."
The principal weakness Of Lau-
zanne's plan, from the American
viewpoint, is that it would violate
the ethics of the American news
paper profession. Proprietors and
editors of newspapers in the United
States would not be willing to enter
into an agreement with foreign
newspapers to abide by a decision
OF these foreigners as to how their
editorial and news columns should
be used.
Under the Blumbenfeld plan,
however, the modes of thought,
habits, and customs of one nation
would become known in the other
nation as a result of information
gained by the newspaper men who
had exchanged" places on the
papers in the two nations. For in
stance, an American newspaper
man says a member of the staff
of The Daily Oklahoman, would

FOCH GOES BACK TO HIS HEARTH
 MOURNING SON Peace Means Not Laurel Decked Leisure to Allied
 Leader.
WAS SCHOOLMATE
 OF FAMOUS JOFFRE
Worlds Greatest Strategist Didn't Have Spectacular
 Rise.

For Marshal Foch the end of the war means not leisure to wear his laurels, but the right to return to his desolate hearth, a heartbroken old father, and mourn for his only son, who died in battle, according to Kath- crime Dunlap Gather, who writes the story of the life of the Supreme Allied Commander in the August number of St. Nicholas. She states that Fer dinand Foch was born in the village of Tarbes, a Basque village in the Pyrenees. and that General Joffre was born nearby .and later was a schaaI fellow of Foch's. She writes in part as follows:
 What boy wouldn't have been in terested in history, if, like Ferdinand Foch, he had a grandfather who fought under Napoleon Bonaparte :? This grandfather not only fought un- der the great Emperor, but fought so valiant1y during the Peninsular Wars in Spain that he was made q Cheva- Her of the Empire. Nothing de lighted the boy so much as did the visits of this grandfather, and to sit beside him listening to tales of those famous campaigns was better than reading the most fascinating story book ever written.
 Ihen, when ne was thirteen, ca m Q a change. His father, who was sec retary of state of the province in which they lived, was appointed to an office in the department of Aveyron. A little later there was a second move. to Saint-Etienne, near Lyons: and several years after that, when he was about eighteen, he went to Metz to become a student at the College of Saint Clement. But the war with Prussia came. Storm broke where serenity had been, and he rushed away from college to join the army.
 eff anything very thrilling happen ed during those days of soldering, there is no record of 1t, and as soon as the light was over he went back to school But what a change had come over the town! Metz was no longer French, but German, and the Prussian eagle scared where once the trf-color had fioated. Soldiers of William and Bismarck were quartered even in the college. and imperious German officers sneered at the stu dents. who were compelled to salute them. It was bitter medicine for a French boy to swallow. Soon after ward, when he was not quite twenty, came word from Nancy that examin- ations were to be hsld for the Poly technfc of Paris. where youths were trained for service of the state. He passed with honor and went to the great seat of learning, where he found another boy from the Pyrenees country, and one who loved it as much as he did. His name was Jos eph Cesaire Joffre. Side by side these two worked in the classroom and side by side, some forty years af- terward they worked for the salva- ton of France.
 ''He was graduated with honor, and then was sent to Fontatnebleau for further military training. From that day his life was a series of deserved successes Steadily he advanced rom a lieutenant through the various ranks
