As to, Advertising.

SPENDING MONEY
SOME PEOPLE think
But THE wise man knows
IT'S THE surest way to make more
THE ONLY problem is
WHAT MEDIUM to use.
CIRCULARS and hand-bills
COST A LOT of money
BUT YOU give them away
SO NOBODY wants them
On THEIR front porches
NOR IN their morning mail.
THE SUBSCRIBER
PAYS REAL money
FOR HIS newspaper
AND THAT'S why he values it
MORE HIGHLY
THAN A circular.
HE BRINGS his paper home
SO THAT every member
OF THE family
CAN READ and enjoy its
BREEZY, up-to-the minute news
AND PROFIT by needing
THE HOMETOWN merchants
BID FOR their trade.
AND THAT'S a good reason
FOR Advising
IN A newspaper
AND NOT only that
BUT
THE MERCHANT using hand-bills
! AND CIRCULARS hopes
FOR TEN readers
| TO THE hundred bills,
| IF WILLIE delivers the 100.
| WHEREAS the newspaper advertiser
| Is SURE of at least
| FOUR READERS TO
| EVERY COPY of the paper
| AND THEY all read and heed
| HIS ADS.
| AND THAT'S why he
| LOOKS pleasant
| AND GROWS fat in the
BANK ACCOUNT.
Better. ALL up to-day

ADVERTISING MANAGER

RETAIN FERTILITY ON FARM
Much Taken OF That Might Be Re.
turned to Soil If Crops Were
Fed to Live Stock.

In the marketing of hay and rough
age there is large bulk to handle
and haul to the point of delivery. The
United States department of agricul-
ture points out that this means much
extra labor for the men and teams on
grain and crop farms. and much fer.
tility is taken off which might be re-
turned to the fields if the products
were fed 10 live stock.

PRICES TO REMAIN HIGH.
No Drop for Another Two Years
Wholesale Grocers
Are Told.

New York, Feb 26.--Prosent high
prices of food are not expected TO drop
Tor another two years, said Edward Cump'
son in his opening address MS President
at the annual convention of the New YORK
Wholesale Grocers' Association ycster-
day at the Astor.
Supply and demand, shorter hours OF
labor, and public demand for highest
quality regardless of cost, Mr.. Cumpson
SAID, were contributing causes IN sus-
tanning high prices The wholesale grocers,
he believed, had won and were entitled
TO the support of the Government ana
the people. Legislation such as the Lever
or any other law he decried.
Secretary III. NJ. Foster, in his annual
report, agreed with his chief that there
was no present hope of n decline IN prices.
He spoke of the growth of the New York
Wholesale Grocers' Association and urged
the cooperation of all members, especially
with reference to legislative matters.
Later he read a telegram from Senator
Wadsworth, which said that one os the
greatest lessons in the last two years was
that governmental management and
control of private business was failure.
The telegram was applauded, and the
association voted unanimously to ask
Senator Wadsworth's permission 20 give It
wide publicity through advertisement
in the daily press.
Robert l.. Montgomery, President of
the Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware Wholesale Grocers' Association,
said the Governments method of dis
posing of surplus food was unpleasant
competition, but he believed that il had
impressed valuable lesson in that it
should cure forever all talk of Govern
ment ownership

COLBY FACES FIGHT
FOR CONFIRMATION
Dry Leaders, With Reed and
Calder. Oppose Him; is Out
right Foe of Prohibition.
Correspondence Baltimore sun.


Washington Feb. 25.--Although the
general impression prevails That the nomi-
nation of Bainbridge Colby Of New York
as Secretary of State will bc favorably
acted upon by the Senate both Senator'S
Lodge chairman Of the Foreign Relations
Committee, and Senator Hitchcock,
ranking Democratic member OF that body
agreed toni0ht that this could not be ac-
complishcd probably without fcht
The dry leaders seem more disturbed
by the appointment than the purely
partisan Senators as Mr.. Colby is openly
anti-prohibition. This is particularly true
of Senator Kenyon Of Iowa.
Also it was learned that Senator Reed
would oppose confirmation because of
speeches made by Mr.. Colby in Missouri
Senator Shields of Tennessee. Indicated
that he too would fivht it, as did Senator
Calder, Of New York.
rlG SURF HiSE TO CAPITAL.
The capital tonight had not vet re-
covered from the surprise President Will
son gave it when he announced the mp
pointment today. Many names have
been mentioned IN this connection since
the RESIGNATION ,of Robert Lansing, but
that OF Mr.. Colby had not been whispered
outside the immediate White House
circle.
The selection OF Mr.. Colby for the
Socrctaryship of State was the independent
action of the President. lt was learned
today that the advice of no member OF
the Cabinet was asked and il is doubtful
if any other member of the Cabinet knew
of MIR Wilson's decision until late last
night or early today. All yesterday the
Capitol buzged with gossip concerning the
appointment, the best grlesses contering
up on Secretary of War Baker and Under
Secretary of State Frank J.. Polk.
No sooner had tho news of Mr.. Colby's
appointment become n matter of general
knowledge today than vague intimations
of opposition TO his confirmation were
heard. This is not an unusual circum-
stance, however. and does not mean that
anv concrete hostility to the Colby nom
nation will actually develop on the part
of Senators. But il does mean that the
appointment has not been enthusiastically
received in all quarters.
In the first place, tho elevation OF the
New Yorker to the station OF highest
rank in the Cabinet has not gwen unalloy-
cd pleasure to the old-hne Democrats
who feel that the least Democratic
President can do for his party Is TO name
undiluted Democrats TO Cabinet offices.

road legislation adoptedsby Congress, be-
cause this Congress is the most antago-

Workers will elect a Congress which
represents them and not the corporate
interests, said Morrison. "The fight is

people Of the country as well.
