Can we afford to be that narrow? Can

Bankers throughout the Eighth Fed

in five months and carrying unusually

Treasury certificates, which at the
beginning of Americas participation

come to be appreciated by a large and

further the records show that many
banks fearing loss of deposits and
therefore loath to sell the certificates
to their customers, have fully reached
the realization of the wisdom and adj

these securities. The banking institu-

admission Of Canada, Australia, New

Great Britain has six votes to our one.
Great Britain hasn't six votes in the
League Of Nations in the true sense Of
the word votes. Her colonies have

The council is the executive body of

one vote. Each nation has one vote.

Does advertising pay?
Ask any clerk at the Sikeston post
office; he will tell you with an en-
phatic "yes" that it does.
And this is why he knows:
Last Sunday he helped to handle 257
five pound catalogues for Sears &
Roebuck. This bit of advertising mat
ter came to sikeston ON Sunday and
furnished a nice recreation for the
post office-a great day ofrest.
How much 90 you suppose Sears q
Roebuck paid to advertise their wares
in Sikeston? We do not know, but we
imagine a five pound book costs them
considerable, even tho they were
printed by the hundred thousand. The
blank paper in each book cost not less
than fifty cents each. That is not
counting the cost of printing ant
handling, or preparing copy, cuts ant
other expense attached to issuing {
big catalogue.
But did it pay?
The local post-office clerk who han
dies the money orders says the buying
of money orders for Sears & Roebucl
began early Monday morning and ha
continued ever since.
OF course it paid. Advertising al
ways pays.
