THE ERA OF ADVERTISING

The fact that 1t Pays Advertise has long been
ognzed by successful merchants and is interesting to pick
up papers from many sections of the country and that the
ministers of the land fast learning this truth and apply
ing it their own field.
When the minister stops to think for one moment ne
cannot help but realize that he has the greatest thing in all
the world to offer to humanity-Eternal Life There are
two ways of advertsngby word of mouth and through
the newspapers So the preacher an advertiser by word
of mouth but through this method ne can reach but few
score people each Sunday while the can carry
his messages into hundreds of homes every week.
II would that with every form of amusement parad
ing itself in the public prints the church longer could at
ford ignore the power of the printed word 1t cannot fail
further to recognize and the newspaper columns to adj
vance the interests of the organizations Can the church
afford not to advertise when greater number of souls
preaching destruction better be appealed to through news
papers than through any other source
We see churches and Sunday schools advertising in many
of the weekly papers this country while the big city
carry church advertising right along Attractive advertise
ing will interest any church movement and we be-
ieve little of it experiment to Malcolm and COM
munty would not be bad dea-Malcom (lowa) Leader.

MEXICO SUFFERS
 FROM SERIOUS CHANGE SHORTAGE

Mexico City, Jan. 20. Mexico is passing through 9 bitter commercial crisis as a result of the shortage of change. Leading commercial houses in the capital, instead of experiencing the usual B per cent. holiday increase in business during December, report ed sales 15 per cent. less than NoveIn- Der.
 Without paper currency, the coun- try depends on gold and silver coin and the high price of silver has caused an acute shortage of small change, due to illicit exportation and operations of spectators. Money changers are now charging as high as seven per cent. to change gold: coin into silver, and it Is reported that gold also is growing scarce. Some business houses. who tried to use postal and documentary stamps for change found themselves breaking the law.
 Thus far no method of. facilitating 2 small purchases has been discovered and, according to semi-official state ments the country will Goe forced to wait for the price of silver to decline to secure relief. The silver content of the lower coinage has been cut once during the last six months but even the new coins are being hoarded for speculation or exported. While the mint has been working overtime for months, 1t has been found impossible to keep up with demands.

SOMERS SELLS
 HIS HOTEL AT
 BRADLEY BEACH

Thomas F. Somers, head of the Rirdsey. Somers Go. of this city, has recently sold the LaReine hotel on the ocean front at Bradley Beach, N. J., to Morris F. Spark. Mr. Spark, who has managed the hotel for sev- eral years, is reported to have pad SITS 900 for the property.
 In recent issue of The Seacoast News, the following mention is made of the transa ction:
 Morris Spark, who as lessee has for several years successfully con- ducted the LaReine hotel on the ocean front. has purchased the prop erty from Thomas F. Somers, the builder, at a consideration said to be around $175,000. The purchase is recorded under the name of the Spark Hotel Co.,, members of the family being interested in the corpor- ation. The sale was consumated by Andrews & Tumen of Asbury Park.
 Mir. Spark has made a signal suo- cess of the, hotel business here and the hostelry has been crowded to overfowing each summer, making it necessary to procure sleeping quarters outside the hotel. In view of this fact it is quite likely that MT. Spark will make extensive improvements to the hotel before the opening Of the 1920 season. Included in the sale were three cottages adjoining the hotel.
