WHAT ADVERTISING MEANS TO YOU.

Every and then like to talk to our merch-
ants about advertising and we like to do it in this
way because the subject is OF equal interest to
the public. Frankly the interest of the public,
the interest of the merchant and the interest of
the local newspaper published lare inseparably
linked
The public is always best served by buying ad-
vertised goods. Goods that are advertised are
goods that extensively manufactured
and consequently cheaper because of increased
production Moreover advertising today is a guar
&ntce OF merit No need be afraid either OF
the honesty of the price or the quality of adver-
tised goods. Competition compels honesty ever
II there should be wish to avoid it.
There is another benefit, too in local newspaper
advertising. When advertising is thoughtfullv en-
ploycd it emans the building of trade for our local
merchants and this reacts in increase in real es-
late values generally. prosperous business sec
ton means added population and increased con
veniences. The whole scheme of advertising
merchandising and buying is one of cooperation
20 mutual advantage
The merchant always wins favorable reaction
when he talks frankly in his advertising to the
people and shows them he is dealing honestly
with them and making normal profit
The man who week by week consistently in his
advertising shows the public interest at heart is
the man who wins. Many merchants lose the
substance of public confidence in graspinp for the
shadow Of immediate sales

AND DIsTRIBUTIoN-Pres-

ident Harding calls attention to the part played
IN the high cost OF living by the expense of distri-
button This is feature of our modern merchan-
dsing to which the attention of he people has been
called repeatedly. 1t is generally recognized that
1T costs too much to get what is produced into the
hands of the consumer. Just how to remedy this
situation is the problem that today confronts the
American people The president does no: think
the difficulty nsurmounable He has as idea that
something can be done for its solution by co oper-
atve agencies thru the assistance of the State and
National governments. He tells us he has not
well worked out PLAN but he has an idea that
something on the basis of the savings banks and
building and loan associations can be devised to
give aid to cooperative efforts on The part If the
people who produce and distribute staple articles
OF trade
Until the president more fully develops his plan
the people will be able to form no Judgment as to
ITS feasibility In his special massage to congress
which meets in December, he will probably set
forth the plan he will work out to facilitate and
cheaper Distribution. Doubtless Secretary Hoover
and the department OF Commerce are giving sne-
clal attention to this particular line of work The
president feels that, having extended very sub
stantlal aid to the agricultural interests. some
similar aid can be extended to the consuming in
lerests If the present administration even in some
small measure, is able to solve the problem of
distribution it will place the American people in
creasingy in its debt

'Seventy--Fifth Anniversary

While the National Womans' Party
meeting soon in Seneca Falls, N. Y.
recalls the first out and out Woman S
Suffrage convention at the same place
Is years ago with Susan B. Anthony
as leader there is no sentiment of d
diamond jubilee in it. The progress
made i'll equal rights for woman to
their minds is still too far from the
goal. Nothing short of absolute equal
ity in the rights OF men and women
will satisfy the National Woman S
Party which is working in every state
OF the Union with an equal rights bill
that in blanket form is supposed to
remove from every statute of every
state the discrimination against women
regarding wages, property rights, the
custody of their children, and also
marriage and divorce laws. Another
grievance is concerning exclusion
from some colleges and from public
office and from promotions in business
and industry over men of less ability
1t is seen by this that the privilege of
voting is far from equalizing the sta
tus of men and women even Yet and
so tar the mass of women voters have
made no haste to change existing laws.
Satisfied with the privileges accorded
their sex, the larger number of women
would still be unaware of the discrim-
nations in their rights but for the in
vestlgat1on and the agitation created
by this band of really sincere and
earnest leaders who bear the brunt of
SCOTS and sneers as the vanguard of
an army does the heavier combat of
the foe.

Like Camping Too Well
Musical Comedy Leads

Even in Berlin near the. heart OF the
musical world, the theatres are being
monopolized by comic operas in the
proportion of twenty four to six of
the spoken drama or OF opera of great
er worth. There is also great un-
employment of legitimate actors who
cannot qualify for musical productions
In our own country Just now there is
a growing sentiment that more light
opera more generally given as in some
few cities at present would serve a
good purpose. That the musical era
must be educated and that music of
lighter class, not jazz, however,
would be better appreciated in the
beginning than the more classic grand
opera. If Atlanta should be cited to
disprove this theory it may be remem
bcred first of all that Atlanta has for
long time fostcrcd musical culture
IN her people and supported teachers
and artists Of notable ability, and in
her great success with annual weeks
OF grand opera it must be remembered
that the number OF people who really
enjoy grand opera are still far out
numbered by those who enjoy the
grand opera season with its social and
festive features.
