CHICAGO TRIBUNE TAKES
; A RAP AT CONGRESS

The following is quoted from the
Chicago Tribune which is one of the
biggest and most influential Repub-
lican organs in the country:
"The Outgoing Congress Has Batting
Average of About Zero"
The outgoing Congress has a bat
ting average of about zero. The
Congress which convenes in Deem
Der will find the problems on it's
doorstep as numerous, substantial,
and vociferous as if the closing ses-
sion had spent its time swapping
stories and shaking dice. Perhaps
there was accomplishment of a pre-
paratory kind. We hope so.
The coming Congress will have
some of the most momentous tasks
before it of any Congress in history.
The league covenant remains for
compromise or defeat. The treaty
WIFI laiSS ildo nOI ySJ uSSu
touched. After years of evasion and
man-handling, the transportation
problem has reached a stage which
cannot be ignored. Upon its wise
solution depends to a very great de-
gree the prosperity of the nation for
years to come. Reconstruction,
which Mr.. Wilson, departing for Par
is year ago, thought would take
care of itself, has not taken care of
itself, and now presents difficulties
accumulated in the intervening
months. Congress may or may not
be able to help much 1t can do lot
of damage by superficial judgments
and shortsighted action. The DE-
Tense of the country on land and sea,
army and navy, are in state of pro-
found decentralization. Congress
must act to place them on footing
commensurate with our expanded
responsibilities. Great problems Of
international credit and trade must
be considered. The labor situation
must be dealt with. immigration and
emigration offer new problems and
possibilities. Budget reform is in
complete.
Is it possible to hope that some of
the spirit of disinterested patriotism
and unison in citizen effort engen-
dered by the war will remain over to
mitigate small politics and private or
class interest?

"NEVER READ THE ADS"

Occasionally you meet the strong
minded person who makes the state
ment that he or she is not influenced
by advertising-in fact, they never
read the ads.
You'll find that these people who
never look at the ads are better ac-
quainted with the goods which are
widely advertised than they are with
any other kind.
1t takes a good deal of strength of
character to page thru a present day
publication and resist the impulse to
look at at least part of the advertis
ing.
It's characteristic of the people in
this country to want things. We are
constantly striving to better our con-
dition, a home and otherwise.
We're looking for news about
things that will enable us to improve
these conditions. Where else is there
to look for them outside of the adj
vertising?
It's a pretty hard matter to find a
person who is not influenced by ad-
vertising. Everyone is touched by
it in some way or other. 1t secures
its effects consciously or unconscious
ly.
! Very often storekeepers will ad-
mire an advertising campaign and
will talk about line of goods that is
advertised. They will comment up
on the success of firm that has been
a big advertiser, and get off the time
worn phrase, advertising pays"
Yet when it comes to spending a
little real money for newspaper ad-
vertising they go very slowly.
They can't see any results.
The firms that made the big sue
cesses didn't see their results day
after the first advertisement ap-
peared. Many Of them waited years
but they kept plugging away at the
advertising.
Spasmodic advertising doesn't get
the results that steady advertising
secures. It's easy to forget adver-
Using. Think of a number of ar
ticles that were we'll known ten or
fifteen years ago, and ask for some
of them today.
You will find that the ones which
kept up their advertising are still
running strong. The ones which
dropped out of the advertising pages
are out of business, or nearly so.
If advertising is good for the big
man, it's good for the little one, be-
cause our country is full of little or
CARNATIONS that have grown into big
ones.-Record, Spencer, Wis.
