GOLD BRICK MEN

Since the war is over. there are
plenty of slickers over the country
looking for the unwary, to put some
sort of skin game over on them. In
other words, the CRATER is plentiful.
They are as thick as grasshoppers in
the fall or mosquitoes in the spring.
The stranger is usually the guy to
look for. He knows the new broom
sweeps clean and he is the broom. 1t
is up to the people to reverse the
usual procedure and scan the strang-
er afar OF. He may be bearer Of
the tabled brick of gold.

TO GIVE EASTER BALL

Those who like to dance and wish
to exhibit their terpischorian skill,
will be pleased to note that Lent will
not be long past when there will be
an opportunity for his indulgence.
Shortly following Easter Sunday
there will be a grand ball staged by
parties who do not wish the full par
ticulars given out until all arrange
ments have been completed. There
is to be plenty of good music and as
it is the first dance after Easter it
evidently will have a host of devo
tees as guests. The event will give
all a chance to relax the period Of
abstinence during the Lenten sea-
son.

GOOD MONEY FOR BAD.

It would be regrettable if the United States neglected its opportun- ity to complete to the conquest of the air, a thing which the war has enabled us to do.
 It would be even more regrettable if we experimented on as vast a scale as is recommended by the avia- tion mission. Such course would involve the expenditure of huge sums i'll much the same way as they were expended during the war. What we want in the United States is a re- duction of expenses, not an increase
 It already is pretty we'll establish ed that thousands of dollars were wasted on our aircraft program. We can excuse that on the grounds that we were at war. But to experiment. on such scale in the future would be criminal waste.
 We can develop the air industry for war uses and for commercial purpos- es without immense flying fields, numberless planes and hundreds of high priced flyers.
 We can begin on small scale and increase the aviation as the commer- cial demand increases and as the need for actual experimentation work increases.
 If part of the immense equipment we bought to win the war is idle during such course, it cannot be helped. To use every bit of it would involve useless expenditure of money and would be sending good money after bad.

POLITICAL DEBATE.

As the weeks drag by the question of the league of nations becomes more and more political issue.
 Tuesday in the senate spectators loudly cheered partisan attack on the league; speech whose chief appeal was to prejudice and which smacked greatly of the soap box orator. The same crowd hissed a senator who spoke in defense of the league.
 There has been little non-partisan discussion of the league in the sen- ate; the covenant has not been de- bated solely in it's merits. The sena- tors generally have appealed to par tisanship and prejudice and partisan ship and prejudice have answered. The people have not judged the league on it's merits because few of our leaders in the upper house have ever discussed it on it's merits.
 And it follows that the question of whether we shall have league may not be decided on it's merits. If Tuesdays debate is fair sample of all that we are to have said for and against the league, the final decision will be test between the contending political parties.

ADVERTISING COMMENT
(BY J. W. ANDREW)

Further comment, which l consider of unusual value, by Wm. H. Rankin, chairman, newspaper division, A. A. A. A. Chicago, H., is to the effect i that "big business men have observ- ed, through newspaper advertising, the cost of selling a $1.00 member ship in the Red Cross reduced from the average of SIXTEEN CENTS without advertising, to LESS THAN SEVEN CENTS per dollar member BY ADVERTISING. That was done, with full page newspaper advertls- ing, used in dominant way-that is, seven full pages in each of the seven daily paper in the city of Chicago.
 "The original plan was to secure 150,000 members for the Red Cross of Chicago, but, because of this dominant newspaper advertising, paid for by patriotic Chicago business men, at the end of six weeks we had secured 416,000 members-an object lesson in the economic value of news paper space when properly used."
 And it is an object lesson to the To- cal merchant-it was to the Chicago 1uciClldHJS dHu SHOulQ Uc CO GIle lOCdl merchants of Pine Bluff and vicinity it points out forcibly the fact that newspaper advertising when proper ly prepared and used is without ques tion the biggest factor in the mer- cantile world today.
 It behooves every throughtful mer- chant to keep in mind this one dom- inant fact, that judicious advertising will save you and your clerks con- siderable time and work. It relieves both of you of the necessity of doing lot of educational work-a lot of explaining in other words-and per mits of your giving more time to the final process of turning prospects in- to customers.
