FOR MONTHS


Springfield, Ill, Aug. s-<By
the Associated Press. Bishop
Thomas Nicholson, Of the Meth.
odist Episcopal church, and the
Illinois COMMITTEE Of Seventy. T
six" are in session here this
afternoon seeking to decide
what shall be. done with He'd.
ding college at Abingdon. And
although nothing has been said
openly, several members Of the
committee have renewed agita.
ton for the removal OF the ILL.,
nois Wesleyan university from
Bloomington to Springfield.
Failure Of the city of Blooming
ton to pay the 100000 which was
promised the university when the
removal was first urged, was given
as the reason for reopening the
question. The promise of the mon
ey was made by Bloomington sew
eral years ago afters the city of
Springfield had offered a specious
camp for the university and an ad-
ditionA gift OF $650,000.
Trustees of Hedding college re-
fused to give favorable considera-
ton to a three-angled proposition
from the Abingdon Chamber OF
Commerce yesterday, including the
demand that DR.. Clarence W. Green,
president of the college. be asked
to resign, and decided to close the
college for a period Of a year.
Some of the members OF the
board were not backward ip yoic-
ing the opinion that the demands
made by the Chamber Of Commerce
amounted to an insult
Trustees assert that the only
charge brought against President
Green by anyone was that he wish
ed to remove the college from Alb
ingdon for reasons which were ap-
parent to the members Of the board
and had to do with the welfare OF
the institution, its location In Alb
ingdon not being favorable to its
growth.
The demand Of the Chamber Of
Commerce that the majority OF the
board of trustees be composed OF
Abingdon residents could not be
entertained because the charter OF
the college contains the provision
that the trustees shall come from
different sections Of the territory
comprising the Methodist confer
ence.

A Business Motive Power

On the other hand, the man
who looks to advertising to
checkmate all weaknesses and
shortcomings of his business
and to carry it along to victory
despite these, has a childike
faith in the miraculous.
Advertising will not make
his product Or his service any
better than tl!ey are; but it will
bring him the full benefits of
their merits. 1t will not elimi-
nate,wastefulness in his factory
or his store; but it will reduce
his cost to operate. 1t will not
make illogical selling methods
successful; but it will assist
good selling methods, and Of
ten point the way for improv-
ing them.
Advertising is the most in
expensive r--:otive power that
the manufacturer or merchant
can buy tod. 1t is a form of
stimulus that brings excellent
returns on the investment.

Napoleon and Frederick the
Great slept only three to four hours

The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1922-08-09

The time must come when all
businesses will consider the adj
Visibility of advertising in the
same spirit that manufacturer
ponders over the ACCESSIBILITY of
adopting a new machine. One
does not install a piece of labor
saving mechanism because it
suits his fancy; but because the
efficiency of the business re-
quires it.
He expects the new machine
to reduce his cost to operate
perhaps to make a better prod
uct--and thus aid him in meet
ing competition and making
larger profits.
Advertising is exactly SINH
lar. The man who refuses to
consider it as a possible expedi~
ent, simply shuts his eyes on
one of the problems of his bust
ness. He might as well ignore
the banks as sources of credit
when he has need to borrow
capital.

The Good Roads are Here.

Some of US who are particularly
enthusiastic about roads and have
done so much talking about ou1
highways at election time almost
forgot that it is not chiefly cam
paign talk. The prophesies of the
past are actually being fulfilled.
Minnesota's good roads have
achieved national fame.
During this whole summer we
have heard nothing but praise for
our Minnesota roads. The resi-
dents of the Daxotas frankly ex.
press their envy, the Wisconsin
men are equally appreciative, and
the tourists who. have driven
across the continent state they can
tell the minute they cross the
Minnesota line. One of these
tourists who bad driven from the
state of Pennsylvania to Yellow
stone park crossed Minnesota on
the Black and Yellow trail. This
highway, which passes through
Winona and Mankato, is not paved
but is one of our gravel-surfaced
roads. The Pennsylvania motor
list declared ne believed Minnesota
had better system of highways
than any state through which he
had driven,
Our much heralded good roads
are actually here and it is to be
hoped the people in Minnesota
will appreciate them. Much work
is yet to be done, but in the mean
time let US place the credit where
it is due. The progress that has
been made in Minnesota in road
in the last decade is simp-
y marvellous. Every man and
woman in Minnesota should be
pack of our state highway depart
nent giving it their full support.

Combined Effort.

The great artist who paints picture
which compels the admiration Of the
world does not do so with one sweel
Of the brush in one moment of inspira'
ton. The great masterpiece is the
product of thousands of strokes of the
brush, Of inf1nitesimal bits of pigment
put on the canvas layer after layer,
each done with consummate art. Every
tiny bit of paint, every swift stroke
does it's tiny part toward what becomes
Mt last marvel of ages. So must we
work, stroke by stroke, bit here and
bit there, until our masterpiece has
been competed.
