THE average American home has more comforts and
conveniences than the palaces Of Europe. Home for
home. the American household has a well,kept look,
an atmosphere Of prosperity and contentment you cannot
find in the homes Of any other country in the world.
In foreign lands, the modernized dwelling, as we know
il. is found only in limited numbers and then only in the
larger cities.
In America even in remote rural districts. you find
pianos, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, up-to-date
heating systems, telephones and n~umberless appliances
that 60 far to make life easier, happier and more worth
while.
You may not realize it, but Americas high standard
of home life is due largely to advertising. For the devel,
opment of advertising is distinctly American. 1t has taken
its place as a leading force in bringing together the in
terests and wants Of a great, united people. And a large
share of the credit for this development is due to the
newspapers.
Stop and think how many of the appliances you use,
the foods and other articles you eat. you wear. the clothes
entering into your everyday life, were popularized by
newspaper advertising.
Then you will realize what a vital part advertising has
played and is playing in your daily life.
You QUE It to yourself to read the
Advertisements. They mean a
lot to you.

ion, and Rev. w. j. Hinton, an able
young minister, preached the dcdica-
tory sermon. 1t is appropriate,
therefore, that the Rev. DR.. J. w.
Hinton, one of Georgia's most veneer
able and beloved men, should preach
the last sermon as we'll in this old
church. But he will look into the
faces of few, if any, who listened to
that first sermon in the church. Last

sermon, asked that all who heard the

Then the Mushroom introduced
Nick the same way.
Nancy courtesied and Nick bowed,

much as how-do-you-do, And as
they were always polite little folk,
it showed the state of their feelings.
"How are you, Nancy! Pleased to
meet you, Nick said Mr.. Peera-

pleasant journey.
The Mushroom answered for them.
Very! Very nice, sir! The Fairy
Queen sent the Twins to help you

While they were talking, the
Twins couldn't help noticing the
Moon-Man's ragged clothes, his bare
feet, long beard and head as bald as
a dinner-pIate.

PRESS CLIPPINGS
Probably Why Many Papers Are Late
THE Publishers Auxiliary

The Postoffice department at Wash
ington has established throughout
the country certain terminal Offices to
which the weekly papers are sent in
stead of being sorted on the railway
mail trains. The result is that they
are delayed from IL to 48 hours every
week in delivery. Daily papers are
given the right of way and come
through far more promptly. Both
pay the same rate of postage and it is
unfair to show any discrimination;
A paper published not over IS miles
from St. Paul states that while its
publication is in ST. Paul by Friday
night it frequently does not reach its
subscribers until Monday or Tuesday
of the following week. The people
have a right to better service and the
National Editorial association is go
ing to see if this discrimination
against the weekly paper cannot be
removed. If you are having similar
trouble write your congressman to get
busy with the Postoffice department.

Is This True?
dearborn independently

Perhaps you have supposed (and
what the newspapers have not said
justifies your having supposedly that
the 5-5-3 Naval treaty, the much
boosted result of the Washington
Limitations of Armament Conference,
is being carried out in all its Prov.
sions by the supposed signatorles OF
the compact. s'This treaty." says Mr.:
Elihu Root, 'fdispelled the cloud OF
war. reestabIished mutual confidence
and kindly feeling -. relieved the
tax-burdened world of great burdens,
and added another substantial contrl-
button by America to the peace OF the
world" :,
Just so. But there's a scarcity OF
facts here that's comparable with the
scarcity of coal in poor folks bins.
OF course, the facts Of the matter
are that neither France nor Italy has
stoned the treaty, which leaves 1T In
operatives; and that Great Britain and
Japan have accepted the compact I'm
principle" only. Our secretary OF the
navy, Edwin DENLY, announces that
such being the case this country, Oh
course, cannot observe the conditions
and that our carrying out of the stlp-
ulations of the treaty necessarily are
postponed. And that's the end OF
that attempt to end war.
And so, when you are told by some
political spellbinder that you have
been relieved of immense tax burdens
through the contamination of this
treaty, just recite the facts to him. He
probably will be as surprised to learn
them as possibly you are now.

This paper has never considered it
self a hide-bound party advocate, the
writer has sometimes split his ticket
and is proud of it, but there seems
to be too much of a tendency in our
opinion this fall, for voters to dis
regard the result of the primaries.
If the primary contest was clean and
the nominee qualified there ought to
be general support of nominees. What
is the use of the primary If it is not
to settle matters in the parties them
selves? In the end serious results
will follow the general overriding OF
primary results. The writer was urg-
ed to enter the Orleans county SEN
atorial contest after very close de-
feat at the primary, but absolutely
refused to consider the matter. We
believe it is a mistake to go beyond
the primary when the primary cam
paign was clean and the nominee is
qualified. Let us make the primary
stand for something or else let us do
away with it entirely. Vote for your
regular party nominees.

Applies to Greene's Speech Here Too.
(Middlebury Register)

Frank l.. Greene did not take a
new and unfamiliar course when he
discussed the need of a new align
ment of parties and warned against
impending chaos unless we set our
political houses in order, when he
spoke before a company of assembled
Republicans here Wednesday night.
Congressman Greene has felt this
condition of things for some time and
has often touched upon it in public
utterances and in his intimate friend
ly chats. He simply, feeling the need
of pressing emphasis upon friends,
who live smugly out of the maelstrom
up here in Vermont, spoke out his
convictions and his feelings little
more strongly than perhaps he would
ordinarily among people with Wnom
he was less familiar.
The Congressman is right when he
says that the old issues, growing out
of the Civil war and the period I'M
mediately following, are settled
There is a new order of things ano
this new order must be met by new
alignment. The Republican party
which has always, since the days Oh
secession, stood for sane and healthy
government in opposition to the loose
and one might say sociallstlc, policies
of the restless, impractical and the
discontents, must again demonstrate
their stability and their devotion t.
the country by taking the lead in this
alignment and show that the theorists
and the discontents are not to IN.
fict their insidious and dangerous
doctrines.
The electorate of Vermont can play
their part now by expressing thell
confidence in this great and enduring
Republicanism by taking interest II
their candidates and registering then
convictions. On election day, Novem
Der 7, they must rouse themselve:
from sleepiness and vote for thei1
party candidates. They must MOI
dodge or neglect their duty. They
must register their faith by showing
the people of Vermont a good, old
time majority.

died as a whole Either the individ-
ual farmers must spend a lot of their
time getting the stuff to market and
selling it, or they must give up the
cream of their profits to middlemen.
If you could persuade all those men
to unite on a few lines of production,
there is going to be economy all along
the line. The products can be ham
died with less trucking, freight charg-
es can be saved, and they can be
marketed comparatively so as to cut
distribution costs.
This does not mean that it is wise
for country town to depend on just
one line. Diversified farming up to a
certain point is favored by most au-
thorities. But neighborhood ought
to concentrate on a few lines that can
be handled as a whole for district
and save an indefinite number Of In
dividual costs.
