untauqht Children

A recent investigation revealer that
only 573 children out of 1874 in New
York school are familiar with the
Ten Commandments. This ancient moral
code embodies the fundamental prin-
ciples Of modern community life, and
children ought to know it. District
Attorney Lewis of that city, thinks
tits Ignorance helps 20 explain why
two thirds of the criminals in New
York are between 16 and 21 years of
age. These young people have not
lived long enough to learn life's les
sons, and the school failed to teach
them moral standards.
II schools teach merely information,
and do not instruct children in the
necessity of right living, their work is
half done 1t is not safe to look to
the Sunday Schools for. instruction in
the fundamental virtues because half
the children do not attend the Sunday
SCHOOLS, and the latter are handicap
ped by having no legal control over
the children. The first lesson the day
schoolsc have to teach is that they
must obey the law. If they don't
learn that. all other lessons are
wasted

HOUSE HAS LONG HISTORY
Tank Cottage. Still Standing At Green
Bay. Wis, Place Of Much
Interest.

Green Bay, once the center of the I'm
trade, located as toll gate to the In.
terror of the Northwest. claims the dis.
standing in Wisconsin and probably
the oldest building in the Northwest,
The cottage was erected In 1776 at the
outbreak Of the Revolutionary war.
Like the Cabildo Of New Orleans,
which Is the oldest building in the Mis-
sissippi valley, the Tank cottage at
Green Bay is no longer used for prac-
tical purposes but as q museum for
relics of former day.
1t was In the Tank cottage at Green
Bay that all legal business Of the ham,
let was transacted during the great
fur regime. It was there that mar.
riage contracts were made and there
that the faithful gathered in prayer.
It was at this house in 1912 that Amer.
leans made arrangements for aiding
the United States during the war
against Great Britain.
Joseph Roy, who came to Green
Bay in 1776, was the builder of the his
toric cottage. His testimony is to the
effect that he lived In the house until
1905, when he sold 1t to Judge Porlier.
The building was constructed of rough
ly sawn tfmbers and boarding made
by rip saw. Spaces between the up
right timbers and the inner and outer
walls were filled with brush and
plugged" with clay. mud plaster be-
ing used in early times to chink log
cabins. In the center of the building
is great fire place, still smoked black
from the logs which there have been
burned to warm the visitors and ten
ants.
It was in about 1850 that an entirely
new influence took charge of the
quaint building. Nels Otto Tank, de-
scribed as Norwegian gentleman and
Moravian missionary, an ardent stu
dent. highly educated, fine linguist,
speaking fiuently six languages, be
came its owner. It was occupied by
the Tank family until the decease of
Mrs. Tank in 1891. Then the Tank H.
brary. which was housed in this old
building. was turned over to the Wis
consin Historical society. and in 1t
were found books and maps which
have been used by students and law
yers in settling boundary disputes be-
tween Canada and United States. In
this house are to be found quaint
treasures from Holland and bric-a-brac
from various parts Of the world, in
eiuding the unique garments and fur
niture Of an early pioneer day. Re
Gently the building was purchased by
persons interested In history. and has |
been preserved as an historical land
mark and museum. 1t is visited by |
thousands every year.-Fred L. Hoimes |

Too Much For His Brain.

When very mad lunatic is admit
ted into an asylum all the other In

The other week new inmate ar.

was mad.
"Alasl" wept one slightly demented
creature. "What ever drove our poor
friend so insaneT
Mercy" gasped an attendant. Hes
the most violent patient we've ever had
in this ward."@
"He endeavored." reported the doc
tor, "to discover some means In which
all the energy that is being expended
in dancing halls might be used In
stead Of going to waste"
And the thought drove all the other
inmates stark. staring mad again.

THE GROWTH OF ADVERTISING
AND PUBLICITY APPROPRIATION

The people who have gone on to
big success in retail trade have u.s.
ually been generous advertisers. The
average big city department store
appropriation for publicity is based
on volume of business, The amount
spent in advertising usually varies
from two to five per >cent of the
total amount of sales.
A big business keeps computations
showing the amouH OF space each
department in its store takes, and
the expense of the advertising is
considered charge against that de-
partment.l A failure of any depart
ment to get an amount of business
proportionate to its amount OF ad-
vertising is considered to be some
ones fault. Commonly it is the fault
either OF the merchandise or OF the
man who wrote the advertising
Rarely is it charged up against the
medium in which the notice was
placed.
A department store will frequently
find that it can cut out its overhead
expense by increasing its advertis-
ing appropriation. A typical instance
was given by large store In Indian
apolis. This store increased the
amount Of money spent in local
newspapers during 1919 by, go per
cent. But the Increased advertising
brought in "a per cent increase in
business for the year. The result
was that the percentage of advertis-
ing cost to sales was cut IL per
cent to 1-2 per cent.
With all the examples great bust
nesses built up as result OF adver-
tising, It seems strange that there
is one single merchant left in the
country who feels that he can ne
g1ect this means by which others
have gone on to fortune.
John Wanamaker took in $24.67
the first day he was in business. He
Kept 81 cents for change and spent
$1,000 in newspaper advertising. Ir
80 far as the merchants Of Delts
have the touch Of the genius thai
pushed Mr.. wanamaker ahead II
the business world, they will make
advertising the foundation Of thei,
system.

TURN FOR BETTER ExPERIEN-
cED IN BUSINESS CIRCLES

Washington, July 26.-The feeling
is general that industry and business
have turned the corner. Tangible
evidence of this is on every hand.
Some of the high lights contributing
to this conservative optimism are:
The full swing of the harvest sea-
son in the agricultural belt, and the
prompt moving of crops to primary
markets. This is bringing millions
Of dollars of actual cash into the
agricultural heart of the country
which have kept in close touch with
nancially, and the stimulating effect
lis already seen in all lines of retail
and wholesale business. In addition
arrangements either have been made.
or are about to be completed. which
will give the farmers $125. 900, 900 in
new long time credits.
Increasing activities in a very great
number and variety of manufacturing
industries. In many cases, manufac-
turing plants are running to capacity
in order to meet fall deliveries.
Reduction OF bank loans TO almost
one. half Of their high level of last
winter.
A general increase in building ac-
tivities.
General and very appreciable in
crease in retail business resulting in
increased orders for fall deliveries.
Demonstration of the financial sta
bility of the average man" as shown
by reports to the Federal Reserve
Board. These reports, submitted by
over 500 banks in more than 100 of
the chief cities of the country, show
an increase in savings deposits over
last year of s23S,0OO,O0O. This con-
dition was quite contrary to the gen
orally accepted belief that the aver
age man was "going broke" or using
up all his wartime savings
Decrease in number of business
failures and in amount of liabilities.
Increase in freight traffic and de-
mand for cars
OF probably even more consequence
is the fact that back of all these con-
ditions a feeling of confidence and |
self reliance permeates the business |
world in place of the pessimism of a
few months ago. Business interests
which have kept inclose touch with |
The situation give the Administration
he lions share of the credit.
One of the early policies of Presi-
lent Harding was the Inauguration
If series of conferences, looking to
business restoration. These confer
,nces included bankers and financi-
,rs from every section Of the United
States. All phases of commerce and
were discussed with the
Utmost freedom of expression and
,ut of these conferences sane and
obstructive program was gradually
The willingness Of the
President and his official advisers to
onsult with men who are authority
n the commercial aud financial
world, before deciding upon any pol
cy, has made splendid impression,
lot only upon those engaged strictly
n commercial and industrial activity
,ut upon the country at large.
The feeling is general that the
Harding Administration is proceeding
long safe and sane lines. 1t is at
emptfng nothing miraculous or spec
acular. It is not above taking ad-
ice from men of experience in a
osition to give it. It realizes there
3 nothing to be gained by indiscrete
aste merely for the purpose of Gre
ting little temporary political
apital.

Says Farmers Watching Results.
Congressman C. William Ramseyer

Congressman c. William Ramseyer
of Iowa declares that the farmers of
the west are going to judge the ad-
ministration and congress by the
prices that their cattle, corn and
other products bring, and by their
ability to get easy credits for carry
ing on their business. 'I want to
remind you," Mr.. Ramseyer told his
colleagues in the house, that the
American people are going to Judge
this Republican Congress by its acts,
not by its words. We Republicans
have got to produce the goods for
the American people. The last ad-
ministration went about with its
head in the clouds and hearing vol
ces in the air. The American peo-
pie got their fill Of that kind OF
stuff and turned to the Republican
party for deliverance. 1t is up to us
to get our feet on the ground and
keep them there. The problems be-
fore us are very real and of the
