some who do not hesitate to delude
the public. Taken as rule, the mer-
chant in the small city or town tells
the truth in his advertisements; if
he is not truthful by nature he real
ICES that honesty is the best policy,
that purchaser, once deceived, viii
never be a customer again iii posi-
BILE to avoid it, and that he will in
duce others to refrain from trading
with the merchant who has been prov
EN- to be a liar and deceiver. So, as
we say, self gain prompts honesty If
the moral sense of the advertiser does
not. The average small-town mer-
chant hesitates TO use his neighbors
wrongfully, and it can generally be
taken for granted that he is telling
the truth.
However, merchants are not the only
persons or forms which advertise in
the newspapers and the magazines.
There are many classes of business
which in later years have turned to
the columns of the newspapers and
the periodicals to acquaint the public
with their wares or their line of goods
or their occupation. Some of them are
not, apparently, guided by the same
policy which has been adopted by the
small.town merchant; they lie, they
deceive, they paint in false colors and
they deliberately defraud the public.
1t is against this class Of advertisers
that the movement recently inaugu-
rated is directed-to wipe out the de-
ception, the falsity, the fraud. Most
self respecting newspapers and maya.
zines are already enlisted in this cause
and they endeavor to keep their col
umns free from the false and mislead
ing advertisements Now and then the
and magazines of good in
tentions are themselves fooled as to
the nature of the advertising concern
but when once uncovered the liars and
the deeeivers are excluded from those
journals. The public can do its part
in the campaign by refusing to deal
with persons or firms of doubtful char
acter.

Henry Ford is now committed to a
back to the farm movement. Although
he failed to get the boys out of the
trenches by Christmas" he may sue
coed in getting people to forsake the
huddled cities and return to the small
er communities. Mr.. Ford proposes to
do it by starting branches of the great
Ford business here, there and else
where in order to draw people away
from the large cities. He even pro-
poses to arrange it SO that farmers
can work in the Ford factories during
the off season of their crops, thereby
putting in time which they now are
losing through enforced idleness. 1t
is an ambitious scheme and, we hope,
not too visionary. Agencies must be
put to work to distribute the people of
the country better.

The duty imposed on the health of
ficers at the various ports of the Unit
ed States is increased in large meas.
ure by the prevalence OF disease in
countries Of Europe and Asia. The
after-war conditions in many Of those
countries have been such that epidem.
les have gained considerable footholds.
Naturally enough some Of the germs
Of these diseases will be brought to
the United States by the incoming i'm
migrants who are n9w focking to our
shores in the hope Of finding better
conditions than at home. That move
ment has been accelerated by the pos
sibility that the United States gov
eminent will soon put up the bars
against immigration to the extent Of
five per cent OF the number Of each
nationality already admitted. Europe
ans and Asiatics are pressing for the
chance to get into the United States
or Canada. With such a rush the
health authorities at the various ports
have a great deal TO do to safeguard
the country g. well a. TO care for those
who come TO those ports. Typhus and
smallpox have made their appearance
among passengers arriving It New
York, and there i grave danger lest
persons infected with the disease get
through and are allowed to scatter the
diseases broadcast.

It's. pity that few million of
those Chinese eggs which are being
shipped to the United States cannot
be distributed among the Chinese of
North China who are said to be starv.
ing at the rate of ten thousand people
day. And it does seem that some
system of transportation might be
devised whereby the plentiful prod
ucts of South China could be diverted
to North China through the same
channels of entry as the relief from
the United States is expected to come
TO North China If land transporta-
tion is out Of the question it should
be possible to ship the food products
from ports of South China to ports of
North China, with the distribution to
the interior of North China to be con-
Quoted from those ports of entry.
