GROWING RECOGNITION
OF ADVERTISING'S USE

Advertising first established it's place
as an economic factor as a sales aid,
but as understanding and use Of 1t
have increased, its possibilities in 9th.
er fields have developed until today
we find It employed in many forms
OF service hitherto unthought of. Adj
vertising has long been hampered in
its use by precedent, tradition, con-
ventions, and prejudices, which. I'm.
der analysis and experience, find lit
tie to warrant their existence. Gradu.
ally the falsity of their claims IL be-
ing proved.
We were told for many years that
1t was undignified for a bank or ldu-
ciary institution to advertise, and this
edict born Of some superstition of the
past, was accepted without question
until finally 1t was intelligently chal-
lenged and it was discovered under
analysis that there was no sufficient
reason for its support The inevitable
conclusion Of logic is that, whatever
is of genuine use to human beings.
whether 1t be goods or services, can.
with truth and dignity, be advertised
and sold, and that 1t is Just as proper
to merchandise forms Of service as
various kinds of commodities.
In the logical development of this
new understanding of the power OF
during the last decade.
we have seen many Of our banking
dduciary and investment institutions
actively employing the sales value of
advertising in the marketing of their
services. In this intelligent use OF
publicity they are not only increasing
heir own immediate business return.
put they are also helping to spread a
better understanding Of financial sery.

In the business sense, the word in
vestment relates to the use of money
In acquiring ownership of property.
Ownership may represent entire pos
session of property as of home;
partial ownership as holding stock in
corporation; or conditional owner
ship as In the case of buying a mort
gage or bond. When a person makes
an investment in bonds, he Is really
loaning his money to the government
or corporation issuing them. He will
receive the interest which they earn
as long as he owns them, or until
they are paid OF.
Ownership Of great corporations Is
vested in individuals who have invest
ed money in their stock or bonds.
Many people regard the ownership Of
the United States Steel Corporation,
for example, as differing from the
ownership Of, say, small workshop.
Yet investors in shares Of Steel Cor
poration stock are entitled to the same
rights, under the law, as the owner Of
the workshop. In the corporation, the
owners hold certificates of stock as
evidence Of their investment, whereas
the owner OF the little workshop holds
a deed as title to his land.
capitaIistie Laws Protect Investors
Because the laws stand for the
equal protection Of all investors, It Is
possible and profitable to make good
investments. It gives an incentive to
work hard and to invest. The person
who wishes to invest must first work
and accumulate funds with which to
do so.
Bonds are always secured by mort
cages on the lands, buildings or other
property Of the corporation for which
the money has been used. When q
bond natures the money must be re-
paid to the owner Of the bond.
All investors are a part Of a great |
financial system which gathers up and |
puts to work the wealth Of the coun- !
try for the mutual benefit, prosperity,
and well-being Of all. In America, 1t is
possible for any one who is willing to
pay the price Of self-denial and hard
work, to be an investor. Good invest
ments made in early life by saving
such small sums as may be possible,
lay the foundation for providing the
comforts of later years, when 1t IL
harder to earn livelihood and when
poverty often becomes the condition
IF those who have not practiced
thrift in youth.
It is not wise for those without ex-

HOW 4 RIP-R0ARING
RADICAL WAS tanned
BY JOHN LAKEWOOD

The best tory of the tanning OF a
radical l have ever read is told by A.
B. Farquhar in his book "The First
Million the Hardest" 1t throws more
light on the meaning of capitalism
and the futility Of socialism than a IL
brary full of books on sociology, eco
nomics and politics. Here it is as
Farquhar tells it:
1.-THE best antidote for acute eco
nomic insanity is ownership OF prop
erty. My favorite example Is Otto
Steininger. He was one of my first
employees and was rip-roaring an
archist He insisted that all wealth
came from the workers and therefore
should go back to the workers. He
was particularly bitter against his
landlord and hardly a week went by
that he did not announce that he had
definitely decided that he would like
to shoot the landlord the next time
he came around for the rent. Finally
I asked him smilingly after one OF
these outbursts:
Buy, Don't Shoot
"Why don't you buy your own
house instea. Of shooting your land
lord? Then you would not have to
pay any rent. II you do shoot him you
may get into trouble
HE did not think much Of the idea
apparently but in a day or two he
asked me how he could buy the house.
| answered.: That house can be
bought for $500. You are getting good
wages. l will buy that house for you,
take a a week out of your wages,
and in less than four years you will
have 1t paid for
"He went of again. The next time
he came back 1t was with his wife.
He said: We are going to buy that
house but since we have no children
you can take $40 instead Of "a week
out of my pay envelope
II bought the house and then Otto's !
chief concern was to get It paid for, |
which he did In little more than a /
year. There was another house next |
1oor to him In a short while after I
he had paid for his first house, he
sided up to me and said:
al can buy that house next door
or a thousand dollars. Now that We
1ave no rent to pay we are going
llong good. What would you think

/ perience to undertake to make invest
ments Of their money without guild
ance by those who know. Many COM
panies are constantly being organized
to promote unsound schemes, referred
to as wildcat" There are always
solicitors ready to relieve people Of
their savings by the promise Of big
returns. The lure Of great wealth Is
always temptation by which thou
sands Of thrifty people are deprived
of hard-earned savings every year.
Widows and orphans who have in
herited money are frequently sought
and made the targets Of these fake
stock statesmen. Misery and suffering
are the usual results.
Greed Defeats Safety
Many people with small means also
lose money because they insist on
high rate Of interest on their invest
ments. Safety Of principal should be
considered above large returns in in
terest or dividends. Small investors
should never buy high-rate, specula-

which pay a fair rate and which are
known to be safe.
To know whether an investment Is
worth buying the investor should 90
to banker, or a successful business
man in whom he has confidence, get
his opinion and act in accordance with
1t. In all probability this will mean
the difference between successful In
vestment and total loss Of his money.
The banker deals with investments
every day and desires to give all the
help and Information he can, and tho
business man has learned by expert
snce the need Of caution and careful
judgment. They believe ono should
have clear understanding Of an In.
vestment before 1t is purchased. They
know the need for avoiding stock pro-
motion schemes and get-rich-Quick |

have brought poverty and suffering.
While many states have passed laws

promoters of fake investments, thou

the hated landlord class. Some years
later when 1t was reported that q

An electric sealing machine Is be-
ing used by the Corporation Commits
sion in Arizona which lightens the
burden Of putting the official seal on
some 10000 summonses issued again
st delinquent corporations. This same
seal is needed for the issuance OF
some 5000 insurance licenses and g.
900 motor vehicle certificates Issued
annually. The mere pressing OF
button causes the official seal OF the
commission to be beautifully imprint
ed upon each and every document fed
to the machine and saves pounds OF
physical energy and hours Of time.
1t is said to be the only machine Of
it's kind in existence.
American homes are becoming cleo
trically lighted at the rate Of mil
lion year. During 1922, for instance
1 .OOO. 900 new residential customers
Of electricity were added to the 1921
total Of seven and one-half million.
An even greater increase Is predicted
for the year Of 1924. This means that
the Electric Light and Power Com |
panies will have to be very much on |
the job. Fortunately for the consum-
or, they have a keen appreciation OF
he work ahead of them.

The tragic death of DIR. R. H. Gerard.
Supreme Chief of the Tribe of Ben
Hur, on May IL as the result of
hotel elevator accident at Terre
Haute, Indianna, mao it necessary
for the Executive Committee Of the
Society to elect a successor to serve

LAD DROWNED IN
CANAL
Johnnie Sanders Jumps into
Swollen Stream and is
Drowned Thursday Morn
ing-Reward Offered For
Recovery of Body.

johnnie Sanders, a lad about IL
years old met death by drowning in
O'Tuckolofa Canal Thursday MORN
ing. In company with couple of
other little boys Johnnie was play
ing along the canal, and removing
his clothing the lad jumped from the
railroad trestle into the canal ex-
pecting to swim ashore. His COM
panions stated that when he Jump
ed he came up quite a ways down
stream where they last saw him
struggling in the swift current, then
he disappeared and they didn't see
him again.
The boys came to town and gave
the alarm and searchers went at
once to the stream but the little
body was not found.
The canal at the time of the ac-
cident was running level full of
water and very swift. Several hun
uASA Shdl 6Co VI uyiilHuldtG WAS eA-
ploded and other means tried to
raise the body Thursday, but it was
fruitless. Today, Friday, the water
having receded fully hundred men
formed searching parties and follow
ed the canal from the railroad to
Yocona river wading the canal bed
when possible and using poles in the
deep places, but the body was not
found.
A reward of $25.O0 is offered, and
every effort possible will be exerted
to find the body.
The lad was an orphan and made
his home with his grandmother, Mrs.
N. A. E. Sanders and his aunt, Mrs.
Olivia Cummins who reside in the
North part of the city. He also had
little sister, Effie, who lived with
his grandmother Sanders. The
family is heartbroken over the terri

of all is extended them in their dark

NINETY THOUSAND CANCER
DEATHS MIGHT HAVE
BEEN SAVED

New York, May 23.--Cancer claim
ed 10000 victims in the United
States last year and 10000 more
will die within the next two years,
all of whom might have been saved,
or at least had the course of their
disease mitigated, by prompt dag
nosis and expert treatment, accord
ing to DR.. Francis Carter Wood, Of
the Croker Cancer Research Labo-
ratory, who today addressed the
state medical society.
Relief from cancer, he said, must
come first from an awakening of
the public to the dangers Of the
disease by means Of the publicity
work Of the American Society for
the Control of Cancer.
Then, DR.. Wood says, family ply
sicians must take early diagnosis
and submit their cases Immediately
to competent surgeons who, in their
turn, must do all in their power by
operating.
DIR. Wood pointed out dieting can
not influence the course of cancer
and only operating or radio-therapy
can do so.
