GROWING RECOGNITION
OF ADVERTISlNG'S USE

Advertising first established its place
as an economic factor as a sales aid,
but as understanding and use of it
have increased, its possibilities In 9th.
er felds have developed until today
We find 1t employed in many forms
of service hitherto unthought Of. Ad-
yertising has long been hampered in
Its use by precedent, tradition, con.
ventions. and prejudices, which. un
der analysis and experience, find lit
tie TO warrant their existence. Gradu-
ally the falsity Of their claims is be-
ing proved.
We were told for many years that
II was undignifed for a bank or fidu.
ciary institution to advertise, and this
edict, born Of some superstition Of the
past, was accepted without question
until finally it was intelligen,iy 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 II be goods or services. can.
with truth and dignity be advertised
and sold, and that it is Just as proper
TO merchandise forms Of service as
various kinds OF commodities.
In the logical development Of this
new understanding Of the mower of
advertising during the last decade,
we have seen many Of our banking
fiduciary 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
their own immediate business return.
but they are also helping to spread a
better understanding Of financial serv.
ice and economic fact and theory up.
on which solid business relations can
be built.-Francis H. Slsson. Journal

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 a home;
partial ownership as holding stock In
corporation; or conditional owner
ship as in the casR Of buying a mort
gage or a bond. When a person makes
an investment in bonds, he is really
loaning his money TO the government
or corporation Issuing them. lie VIII
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.
cspltallstle Laws Protect Investors
Because the laws stand for the
equal protection of all investors, 1t is
possible and profitable to make good
investments. 1t gives an incentive to
work hard and to invest. The person
who wishes to invest mast 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 a
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.belng OF all In America, II 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 prcvidlas- -tsse
comforts OF later years. when It is
harder to earn n livelihood and when
poverty often becomes the condition
OF those who have not practlced
thrift in youth.
II is not wise for those without eX.

HOW A RIP-R0ARING
RADICAL i''AS tanned
BY JOHN oAkWooD

The best story 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 IL
brary full of books ON sociology, eco
Monies and politics. Here 1t is as
Farquhsr tells 1t:
"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 a 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
asked him smilingly after one of
these outbursts:
bN1f OON OUN1h
"why don't you buy your own
house instead 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. | will buy that house for you,
take 81 a week out Of your wages,
and in less than four years you will
have 1t paid for
He went on again. The next time
he came back It 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 81 a week
out OF my pay envelope.
81 bought the house and then otto's
chief concern was to get 1t paid for.
which he did in a little more than a
year There was another house next
door to him. In a short while after
he had paid for his first house, he
sidled up to me and said:
81 can buy that house next door
for a thousand dollars. Now that we
have no rent TO pay We are going
along good What would you think

Notwithstanding the King
test has been kept full Of heavy
mud, gas has shown up at the
test at intervals. a good show
ing of gas was reported just
after the casing dropped and
another, more pronounced, on
Thursday morning, when sew
eral small heads were made,
according to Geologist Caven-
der. For a time it looked as
though the well would "clean
ITSELF" but heavy mud was
successful in holding the gas
back. If the crew succeeds in
clearing the well casing will
be set Immediately and the
cement allowed about ten days
for setting up before test is
MADE.
The Nichols No. l on the
Frank Myers block, l mile
north of Washington, is fast
approaching the center of the
stage in local drilling opera
tions and this test is now being
watched with interest. The
crew at this test, working only
in daylight, reports a depth of
625 feet at this time and the
bit working in blue shale, with
slight gas showings.
The we'll at McNab is report
ed drilling around 1900 feet.
The only test in Hampstead
county to be declared a dry
hole is the Pomeroy No. l..
which was drilled south OF
Hope in the Spring Hill COM
munity by the V. X. F. Drill
ing Co. This well was aban-
doned the latter part of last
week without a test, after 1T

feet.
The only we'll yet drilled in
the vicinity of Washington

SAND of the Trinity formation
is the old Tycap or Mason well.
The showing of high gravity
oil there last fall was suffici-

well if a proper test is made.
A test of this sand was pre-
vented at the time by the cas-
ing being set too high, inser-
ton of a 4-inch liner, and
the loss of a bit in the hole.
Most of the old Tycap stock
holders are identified with the
present development projects
and it is believed that when
the tests now proposed are
completed a way will be found
to complete the Tycap we'll.
