THE EFFICIENCY or ADVER-
 TISING.

What would be the business condi- ton in a place where the merchants had never formed the habit of adver- Using if such could be found?
 The first characteristic of such a place would be an absence of compe- titive spirit. The incentives to ac- tivity and hustle would be removed. If a merchant made a special effort, and as a result of his energy. fore thought, and enterprise. secured a lot of goods representing exceptionally good values, he could not hope to sell them. Without advertising, the public would not know he had them.
 Without advertising, the public would continue to buy of merchants where they had always bought before, regardless of the fact that in some other place they should take advant- age of a specially favorable oppor- tuntty. The result of a community policy of non-advertising, therefore is to discourage enterprise, and to en- courage distributors to continue along in the same ruts year after year.

ONE HUNDRED INJURED

EVERY WINDOW IN CENTRAL

EXPLOSION.

Cedar Rapids Iowa, May 23.-A
score Of persons were killed and a
hundred injured by an explosion at
the Douglas Starch works. OF the $50
men and boys who had Just gone to
work on the night shift, few escaped
Injury or death. The entire plant was
burned by resultant fire. which was
confined to the Douglas plant. The
loss is sS,0OO.O0O.
The shock was felt all over Cedar
Rapids and for miles around the coun-
try. Fire broke out and consumed the
shattered plant
Firemen extricated dead and wound
ed from the debris hastily to avoid
inclneration. The injured were rushed
to hospitals and homes as rapidly as
volunteers with automobiles could be
mustered.
So severe was the explosion that
persons were thrown from chairs a
mile away. The cause OF the accident
could not be determined. but is thought
to have been due to either defective
boiler or spontaneous combustion.
Many Of the hundreds Of employees
were In or near the factory buildings
when the blast covered the ground for
blocks with wrecknge. Some were
buried In the shattered buildings,
while others were hit by flying rem.
nants.
Within half an hour twenty-five
bodies were reported removed.
Broken glass flew In veritable
showers through the streets near the
plant, cutting the faces and hands Of
many who were near the factory.
The blast blew In large windows
many blocks from the Douglas plant,
and persons within office buildings
also suffered from the shattered
glass.
With the fire raging. cries were
heard coming from the drying room
Of the plant, but firemen were unable
to cut their way In.
Additional explosions from the oil
rooms scattered the burning wreckage,
md firemen were hard pressed to pre-
vent the spreading OF the flames to
nearby Industries.
Men covered with starch were taken
from the ruins by their comrades. md
many thrilling rcscues were made.
Some OF the victims were stnrk mad
and did not know what had happened.
Water mains were cut by the force
OF the explosions, making the work OF
the flrcmen harder because OF the
lack OF water.
Every window In the central part
OF the city wns broken. Chimncys
caved In ON families mt the supper
table and guests In the dining rooms
OF hotels were thrown from their
chairs.
