ADVERTISING
SURELY .
PAYS
(By Breen)

The biggest business
enterprises in this coun-
try were built upon adj
vertising. None will
deny that. Newspaper
advertising is the most
potent of all. The money
that is spent annually
in the newspapers of
the United States is
enormous.
Enormous as it is, the
return is tenfold. And
yet one occasionally
will find some self-suf-
ficient business m a n
who will declare he
doesn't need advertis-
ing.
Every man in every
business needs adver-
tising. Some need it
more than others. 1t is
nonsense to say that a
certain article sells it
self.

HANG UP BABY's STOCKINGS

Hang up the baby's stocking,
Be sure you don't forget;
The dear little dimpled darling
Has never seen Christmas yet.
But I've told her all about it,
And she opened her big, blue eyes,
And I'm sure she understands it.
She looked so funny and wise.
Dearl what tiny stockingl
It doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toes as baby's
Away from the frost and cold.
But, then, for the baby's Christmas
It will never do at all;
Why Santa would't be looking
For anything half so small.
~ know what will do for the baby
I've thought of the very best plan /;
I'll borrow stocking of grandma,
The longest that ever can;
And you'll hang it by mine, dear
mother,
Right here in the corner, so;
And write letter to Santa,
And fasten it on the toe.
.dFssle .fi@-,s ss..4 -.~s I
Write, "This is the baby's stocking
That hangs in the corner here.
You never have seen her, Santa,
For she only came last year. y
But she's just the blessedest baby
And, now, before you go,
Just cram her stocking with goodies
From the top clean down to the
toe.

OYSTERS ARE PLENTIFUL.

Oyster saloons are already. announcing
the opening of the oyster season and the
supplv of oysters this year at the old

prices are advanced it will be the fault of

whatever for boost.

primes and Sc, 900 cullens where previous
iy they Yielded only 10000 primes and

Gomper's Committee Calls for

lots in November.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Organixed labor
as represented by the American Fedora
ton Of Labor is playing for the support
of the newly cnfranchiscd woman voter
for those candidates whom the federation
will support in the coming election.
The National Non-Partisan Political
Campaign Committee of the federation,
of which Samuel Gompers is Chairman,
with Frank Morrison and James O'Con-
nell rs other members, has Just sent a
circular letter to organized labor's po-
hticai campaign committees through
out the country, directing them to make
a special effort to obtain support from
the women of the country.
I'm view Of the fact that the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor endorsed the
demand of the women Of the country
for the right to a voice and vote on
what shall be the political policies Of
| our country, even at time when the
proponents of woman suffrage were,
seemingly, hopeless minority" said
the letter sent out today, ms evidenced
| by the fact that the attitde of legis-
| lators on womcn's enfranchiscment has
| long been and is now one of the test
votes in the records issued by the
| American Federation of Labor, we con-
slider we have the right to expect the
support of these newly cnfranchised
| voters.
Outside Of the fact that VIC have
aided in bringing about recognition of
women's rights as citizens, we believe
| that labor's record in conserving the
play time of the child, in demanding
and securing legislation restricting hours
and demanding sanitary surroundings
for women in industry, initiating the
| public school system and always in the
| forefront for Improvements III the educa-
tional departments of the government

better school houses, viii appeal TO the

I'VE suggest that local speakers
should make special effort To present
to the women OF the country the fact
that labor's political program is for the
better home, the well-fed and happy
child, the elimination of exploitation
of child labor for profit.

TEACHING STAFF
FULLY RECRUITED

George Rommel, president of the city
Board of Education, Is authority for the
statement that by Monday, September 20,
when the 1920-21 scholastic year will
start, the city department of education
will be better able to function than 1T has
been for several years.
''The increase which City Council
granted us in our last budget has enabled
rs to greatly improve our department,
Mr.. Rommel said. I'VE have been able to
make repairs in our present school build
ings which during the past few years we
have been forced TO neglect to some ex-
tent because of lack of finances.
SANITARY conditions in all the schools
have been improved. At Schools Nos. 3, 4,
l3 and 20, modern sanitary lavatories
have been installed within the buildings.
These improvements are also needed in
several other school buildings and we pro-
posed 10 make them as soon as we have the
funds. Most of the schools have been
painted inside during the summer Those
that need 1T will be painted outside this
fall.

''Our teaching staff has been recruited
up 10 the required strength. The person
mel of the staff numbers about 20 more
than it did last year So me of our former
instructors have left us, but all vacancies
have been filled and this department is
entirely competent. In most instances we
have been able to grant increases In
salaries.

when school opens our greatest need
will be space. Indications are that the fall
enrolment viii be greater than ever. The
present buildings cannot accommodate all
the scholars. 1t is for that reason that the
board, last June, ordered six new portable
schools. These buildings have not arrived
