BUSINESS FAILURES
AND ADVERTISING

Eighty-four per cent of the business
failures of the past year occurred "a
mong firms which did not advertise.
This is the assertion made by
Bradstreet's Commercial Agency
which is as unbiased an authority as
can be found in the business world To-
day. Bradstreet's complied its mfor-
nation from statistics, not guess work
The Importance of advertising as q
business element must have been re-
garded as vital by this great com-
mercial agency, else it would not nave
wasted the time of hundreds OF trained
men throughout the nation collecting
and tabulating this information. Brad
streets thus points the way to one Oh
the elements of business success.
The lesson to be learned from these
statistics is most obvious, and COM
ment is unnecessary. /

HOPE

Hope is the most lustrous gem i'll
life's store of jewels. 1t shines
through the gloom of horror, lights
up the night of woe, sheds glory over
the miseries of toll. Sorrow loses it's
sting, the unknown its terror, even sin
its power, when God, pitying our
helplessness, sets in the skies of the
future this light of hope. Without it
the evils of life would overwhelm rs
and good things of the world would
seem worthless. 1t is the food of love,
mems holiest virtue. 1t links the
present joys of feeling with the
visions of future fruition. Ever fly
ing from US, yet ever within our sight,
it lures from the finite into the infinite
For when the whirl of life is over
when this worlds joys no longer
tempt us nor its perils terrify US,
hope turns our eyes to the sphere
wherein the soul will find its true de-
light. Nor do we know even the
hopes work is over. For with the
higher ends we pursue, with the wider
thoughts we think, with the deeper
wisdom we know, it, wings its flight
through eternity. So mysterious, 50
limitless is this wonderful gift OF
hope.-St. Joseph News-Press.
.
Say it with flowers; but say 1t IN
the front yard with them, too.-Ex-
change.
You will notice, young man, that
the hen produces the goods before
she calls the worlds attention to her
work.-Springfield Republican.

from Kansas City, stated that he was
on his way to Branson and to meet
him at the train. 1t turned out to be
that the Kansas City man was a son
