Good Advertising is Best In
Surance.

(By H. S. Daniels, Advertising
Manager bort Motor Car Company.
Public opinion of proc !ct-or an
institution-or a mans formed
through a series of impressions.
A good word about you from your
acquaintance is Of vital value and if
lit is true and often repeated it is
bound to be converted into patron
age.
The same is true of the thing you
sell-the measure of the demand for
it depends upon how favorably and
widely it is known.
Words of mouth, if favorable, will
sell an article; but word of mouth,
in order to have its full beneficial
effect, must be stimulated.
Advertising is the best stimulant,
and-when wisely done-is an in
vestment that often brings immediate
returns and always brings them
eventually.
1t creates in turn attention, inter-
est and inquiry. Then, if you. land
your product bear the test of inquiry,
sales inevitably result.
As there are many good men who
are disreparded because they are un-
known, so there are many good pro-
ducts which fail to move for the same
reason.
So it is that the far-seeing and
prudent merchant estimates the gross
business he expects to do and lays
aside a certain percentage of it for
advertising purposes.
In doing this he is not influenced
so much by the direct help he expects
it will bring him-this week-or
monitor year-but to a greater
degree by the good will and prestige
he knows by experience that it will
create.
You pay for insurance on your life
and your material possessions, know
ing that there will be no immediate
returns from the premiums you pay.
Advertising is done largely for the
same end, although the substantial
returns are usually forthcoming with
in much shorter period.
So just as you keep on paying your
insurance premiums in order to keep
your policies alive, so you must keep
on advertising in order to keep your
business alive.
If you cannot maintain advertising
consistently-if you are a so-called
''in-and-outer," you might better not
advertise at all.

5. To give Christ and an exalted
citizenship to the neighborhood.
In addition to the nurseries and
Fairgrounds maintained for the chill
dren,. clubs and classes are held daily
for young and old, the neighborhood

cooking, sewing, first aid and nursing
are taught girls, manual training and
other useful courses are given the

while for the mothers there is instruc-
ton in housekeeping, care of the sick,

Life of Communities Changed.
And in every community where
Good Will Center or other social work
has been established by the Chris
tian workers there has come about a
marked transformation in the lives Of
individual members of the community
and in the appearance Of the homes
and general premises. Cleanliness has
superseded dirt, happiness has taken
the place of sorrow. and hope has
come to tighten the faces that were
formerly overshadowed by depression
and doubt. Little tots who previously
wandered through the streets now find
pleasure and helpful entertainment in
the games, stories and Bible lessons
provided at the settlement houses;
aimless boys and girls have been fired
with zeal and ambition to become USE
full Christian citizens; mothers bur-
dened with handicaps of heavy work
! and poverty have taken new lease
! on life when they have found that
there are those in the world who want
to help them to higher life; and the
fathers, noting the improvement of the
! members of their families. have yield
ed to the refining and uplifting influ-
ences that have been thrown about
them in the home and the community
The viewpoint of the whole community
has been changed and better citizens,
from both the patriotic and the relig-
ious viewpoint, are the result.

State of Peace May Be De-
clared.

Washington, March 21.-Although
active steps to declare state of
peace by congressional resolution are
not expected until late this week. Re-
publican leaders of the senate and
house are to begin conferences to-
morrow on the exact form such de-
cision should take.
Some senators and representatives
want to phrase the peace measure in
the simplest affirmative terms: hers
prefer to repeal the declaration of
war and go on record as demanding
certain concessions from Germany;
while certain others are for inclusion
! of some sort of a declaration of inter-
national policy.
The principal opposition to a poll
cy declaration is expected to come
from the treaty irreconcilables in the
senate, some of whom have told the
majority leaders they consider the
time inopportune for congress to
take any binding stand on the sub
ject. These senators do not like even
the pending peace resolution by SEN
ator Knox which affirms the belief
of congress in an international tri-
bunal and disarmament.
For the present, however, the
Knox resolution has the right of way
so far as the senate program is con-
cerned. 1t was reported by the for
eign relations committee in Decem-
Der and unless present plans are
changed will form the basis of open
ling discussion OF the subject late this
week on the senate floor.
In the house the situation is less
definite, the Republican leaders there
having formulated no policy. In De-
cember they declined to let the ques-
ton of peace declaration come up
at all, but many house members be-
llieve the case might be different now
that the senate again has refused to
ratify the treaty. The house foreign
affairs committee already has several
peace measures before it and Repre-
sentative Britten announced tonight
he would introduce another tOmor-
row.
With the treaty back at the White
House and plans for peace declara-
tion still in their formative state, a
respite of several days generally is eX
pected in congressional debate on the
issue raised in connection with the
establishment OF peace.

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS

THE craftsmanship of every great
H. nation still passed from father to
soE until the presidency of the United
States was created, when the first
free-for-all race and an even start for
the highest prize was opened to the
sons Of men regardless of the accidents
of birth.
Even John Quincy Adams did not
win the race, but was Outrun at the
polls by Andrew Jackson, the son of
an immigrant. Political parties hav-
ing disappeared In 1924, four men en-
tered the contest and deadlocked the
electoral college, which left the house
of representatives to choose from
among the three highest candidates.
This eliminated the fourth man-Hen-
ry Clay-whO aided in the election of
Adams and who received from the
new president the appointment OF
secretary of state.
The only nOn-partisan administra'
ton the country ever has had was not
shining example of success. Uncom'
promising, alone, John Quincy Adams
stalked his solitary way, never once
turning to the right or to the left from
the strait and narrow path of indepen
dence. With no sense of humOr to re
| lieve his sense of self-righteousness, Il
light up his view of his fellows or tt
thaw his own icy virtues, 1t was i'm
possible for his supporters to feel any
enthusiasm for him.
John Quincy Adams led the simple
life In the White House. Getting W
at 5, he built his fire, read his dali!
portion of the Bible and while th'
government clerks still slept, he tool
his walk or swim.

SUCCESSFUL MISSION

Trinity Episcopal Church, Mineral
Point, witnessed a great awakening
in the nationwide preaching mission
held from November 29 to December
g. There was a celebration Of the
Holy Communion each morning at
500 o'clock, when many members
Of the parish made their COmmun-
ions. At the afternoon and evening
services, Representatives from all the
churches of the city were present.
Archdeacon William Dawson was the
preacher. His sermons were in
line with the purposes Of the Nation
wide preaching mission of the Epis-
copal Church. They showed the
tenderness Of heart and largeness of
mind of the speaker. From the be-
ginning to the end Of his discourses,
his thought was, that only through
Christ can the world be redeemed
He spoke of Christ as the Beautiful
Shepherd, who is to draw into one
fold all the scattered flocks Of the
earth. The speakers plea was not
SO much for organic union of all
Christian bodies as it was for that
unity Of spirit, of thought and of
effort which will make Christianity
triumph over the evils that are in
the world. And the sentiments
which the speaker uttered met with
a hearty response from every listen
er.
The rector, Rev. Richard G.. Kirk
bride, worked untiringly for the
mission, and is gratif1ed at it's success
He highly appreciates the assistance
rendered by members Of the parish
and the good will and attendance Of
members of the other churches Of
the city.
At the closing service of the mis-
sion pledge cards were distributed.
Many of these cards have been re-
turned to the rector. Replies written
on the back of them show that the
Mission was needed in the parish,
and that it ended too soon.
