Surgeon General Ireland was told
Cay that is had been reported that in

lists surgeons and doctors had left the
service TO resume their private prac-
tice and that many wounded men
were left in the hands of men of litt
tie eXperiance.
Nothing to it" Said General Ire
land. BY just saying the word every
big specialist in the country would
come a running to help US.
General Ireland pointed out that
surgeons had been reduced from 81,
O00 to 1925, SO per cent and Col. VII
lianFH. Moncrief chief Of the section

taa local pests the names of every
". M. e. A. county and city represent
ative in the State, with whom the
officers from the local posts will
work in cooperation. This is an op-

ADVERTISING CHRISTIANITY

(By George Alexander, Baltimore)
This is the time for big things
Men with big hearts and visions
are needed everywhere. Big e.
vents that will have tremendous eff
fleets of the whole world are transi1
ling. Christianity is bigger than them
all and needs the biggest men to place
lit where it ought to be right now.
Will Christianity get fair deal, Are
Christians big enough to place it be-
fore the world so it will be recogniz-
ed as the great cure for the diseased
condition of humanity? Christianity
is what the world needs most today
and to meet that need it must be
advertised. =.
Advertising in its early history
was an announcement, but success
full modern advertising is a red-hot
message that drives the reader to the
goods. The message extols the product
not the maker. Christians need to ad-
lvertise what they have to offer, but
as yet they have gotten no further
than announcing churches and prea-
chers. They need to advertise every
where, the attractions, benefits and
advantages of Christianity in burn
ing MESA ges that will drive readers
to seek religious satisfaction.
Where shall Chritianity be adver-
tised, In the newspapers. They are
the recognized means of publicity eV-
e1ywhere. Buy space in them and pay
for it, not beg it. Do the Lords bus,
mess right.
How shall Christianity be adver-
tised? Run advertisements regularly
using as much space as possible and
change the copy often. Publish from
the Bible, quotations that will lead
the readers to higher thoughts. Pub
lish local testimonials showing the
power of God to transform human
lives. Show how every community is
benifited by Christianity but has
many grafters who accept the bene
fits and let others pay the bills. Show
how the teachings Of Christ can be
constructively applied to the social,
industrial and political questions of
the twentieth century.
The newspaper is medium that
is being read. 1t offers to the great
opportunity to reach the people and
show them the solution of all their
troubles.
How shall the expense be met?
Each Christian church of city, town
or any community should contribute
regularly a certain percentage of its
income for the, local advertising of
Christianity. This fund should be
pooled and should be in the hands OF
permanent local organization, pos
sibly incorporated, composed of rep
Iresentatives of each church or demon
inaton. These representatives should
be progressive laymen and ministers
who know business and advertising.
A committee of at least one member
from each denomination represented
should write the copy for the adver-
| tisements. ..... t;.;
Is the plan practical? Yes, if you
are too big to allow denominational
Gi1ferances, jalousies and selfishress
block the way. Are you big enough
to help Christianity and get wonder
full results that are sure to follow?
If so start something and do it now.
1t can be done.

Some attraction About

Marcus A Smith, United States sen
ator from Arizona since statehood,
judge R c. Stanford, OF the superior
court OF Maricopa county W r
Ramsdell, a mining operator OF Tue
son; and a A. Worsley, Of Tucson.
Owing to the fact that organized
labor has taken dislike TO senator
Smith, on the ground, they say Of his
faAure to vote for measures in which
labor was interested, the impression
appears to have gained ground that
this would be a good year 70 attempt
his defeat In any event all three OF
his opponents are seeking the sup
port Of organized labor in behalf Of
their respective candidates..
