Dermott. president. replied:
THE public and even the govern
ment of the United States has been
giving ground for several years ana
staving off the evil day by a series of
unsatisfactory and temporary COM

lie went to the mat with capital and
the result was our national and state
commissions regulating charges. Some
day we will have to go 20 the mat with
labor on the issue Of whether the pub
lie has any rights it must respect
IF we must go to the mat eventuai-
ly, why not now? Let the fight come
on"

A Plea for Nature Study

1t was an interesting incident wher
a Is year old Washington boy nam
ed Jimmie Bradley appeared before
a Congressional committee to plead
for nature study in the schools.
What the kids usually demand is
less work. When, they begin TO
come in asking for more, it must
be that some branch of knowledge
has been presented TO them that
appeals powerfully TO their natures.
Such study is a tremendous asset
10 a school course.
II might easily be the means of
waking up many backward children.
If you get an Indifferent boy in
terested in investigating birds and
flowers and stones, his mind is
aroused to the desire for more
knowledge. He will begin to want
more information about many other
things, and thus unconsciously will
be fitting himself for life. If the
children want nature study they
should have it in every school in
DEBORAH and everywhere else.

THE GROWTH OF ADVERTISING
il Has Increased in Wonderful Vol
ume in Last Ten Years,

People who follow business &c.
velopments must have noticed how
The size Of newspapers has Increased
in recent years, Many sheets tha;
used to run - to is pages, have
been using is 70 "a or more for the
past two years Many others tbs;
used to run about $ to 10 pages,
viii now commonly prin; - 70 i6.
This increase is due largely 70 the
tremendous increase in the amount
sf advertising.
There are no figures available as
10 the most important form Of ad-
vertising, that inserted by retail
merchants in their local papers. Ev-
cry newspaper publisher could give
his own figures, and they would show
in most cases a large increase.
There are approximately correct
figures covering the field of national
advertising, by which is meant adj
vertising used by large concerns
that sell their goods all over the
country and which use the news
papers in other sections than the one
where their business is located.
During the decade 1910-1920, the
population of this country increased
about Ia per cent. During the year
1910, according to the figures collect
ed by the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association there was about
S50,000,000 spent in national adver-
Using. During the year 1919, that
amount has increased to the great
sum $150,000,000. That is, while
the population of the country had in
creased Ia per cent, national adver-
Using had increased 200 per cent.
There seems every reason to be-
leve that local advertising has in
creased in an equally large proper
lion, perhaps more. Consequently a
merchant to keep up with the game,
ought to be using three times as
much advertising as he or business
of the same size was taking in 1910.
The business community of any city,
merely to keep up with the process
sion, should be spending three times
as much on publicity as it was in
1910.
