A Business Motive Power

On the other hand the
man who looks to advertising
to checkmate all weaknesses
and shortcomings of his busi-
ness and to carry it along to
victory despite these, has a
childlike faith in the mirac-
ulous.
Advertising will not make
his product or his service any
better than they are; but it
will bring him the full bene-
fits of their merits. It will not
eliminate wastefulness in his
factory or his store; but it
will reduce his cost to oper-
ate. 1t will not make illogical
selling methods successful;
but it will assist good selling
methods, and often point the
way for improving them.
Advertising is the most in
expensive motive power that
the manufacturer or mer-
chant can buy today. 1t is a
form of stimulus that brings
excellent returns on the in
vestment.

The time must come when
all businesses will consider the
advisability of advertising in
the same spirit that a manu-
facturer ponders over the ad-
visibility of adopting a new
machine. One does not install
a piece of labor-saving mech
anism because it suits his
fancy; but because the eff
cheney of the business re-
quires it.
He expects the new ma
chine to reduce his cost to
operate-perhaps to make a
better product-and thus aid
him in meeting competition
and making larger profits.
Advertising is exactly sim
liar. The man who refuses
to consider it as a possible
expedient, simply shuts his
eyes on one of the problems
of his business. He might as
we'll ignore the banks as
sources of credit when he has
need to borrow capital.

HALLE, Prussian SaXony, July Is.
Rather than give themselves up to
the police when on the verge of cap
ture, Hermann Fischer and Edwin
Kern, sought by the German author
tiles as the assassins of Foreign Min
lister Rathenau, shot themselves last
evening in the turret of Saaleck Cas-
tie, near Badkosen, to which they had
been tracked.
The two men were found with fatal
bullet wounds in the head after the
police had forced an entrance to the
tower by chopping- down the door
with axes. They still wore the CLOTH
ing described in the warrants for
their arrest.
The discovery of the hiding place of
Fischer and Kern followed report
brought to Halle Sunday evening by
two holiday tourists that they had
seen a light in the castle, from which
the usual occupant. DR.. Stein, a
writer. was known to be absent. An
Investigation by the police ensued,
but reinforcements had to be awaited
before they were able to gain en-
trance.
Meantime, the trapped assassins ap-
peared on the balustrade of the tur-
ret, greeted passers-by with bravado
and cheered for Capt. Erhardt, head
Of the notorious reactionary Erhardt

IS NOW CONFIRMED
President Feels Official Was
Out of Harmony With
Treasury Policies.

Elmer Dover Of Tacoma, Wash. has
rendered his resignation as assistant
Secretary of the Treasury in charge
of internal revenue and customs, it
was officially stated today at the
White House.
President Harding was said, how
ever, to have been too busy to take
the matter up as yet and was UNDER
stood to regard the severance Of Mr..
Doyer's connection with the Treasury
as not of SUFFICIENT importance to
take precedence over the important
industrial problems now facing the
administration.
President Harding was represented
as feeling that MI Dover,s resigna-
tion was founded on the theory that
the assistant secretary was not in
harmony with the administrative poll
icies Of the Treasury Department.
