WHEN TO ADVERTISE

There is never any question in the minds of big and successful business men as to when they should advertise Their answer is, according to The Lions Club Magazine All the time.'
 Advertising is for the purpose of keeping be- fore the mind of prospective buyers the desrablity of whatever you have to sell, whether diamonds or locomotives real estate ideas, stocks and bonds or penwipers.
 The biggest mistake advertiser can make is to wait until he thinks the prospective buyer is in need of whatever he has to sell. The advertiser who is really alive never waits-hc goes out and 1-akes tAe fellow want the goods He keeps his name his wares constantly before the eyes of the one he wants t. interest," and the moment it occurs that prospect that he needs thing there in the back of his mind ready and waiting for that moment is the name of that thing and the name of its mak- CT and seller. Advertising planted that seed.
 The city editor a newspaper has the proper attitude, and advertisers ought to get it. The city editor does not say to the reporter, Go, and find out whether anything has happened" He says: "Go and see what has happened; and if nothing ; then start something to happening"
 If you have something to sell, do not hunt around for the who wants ii; make somebody want it. Do not tell him. once in a while on what you conceive to be a favorable occason that you have the thing he should buy tell him all the time in season and out of season. so that when he final ly is moved to buy, your name and your goods will automatically into his mind That is ad- vertising; the other is mere trfiling.

OUR FOREIGN POLICY

Not least of the results accomplished in the re- cent election IS the guarantee that foreign pol icy for the next four years will be in harmony with the traditions of the Republic The attitude of President Coolidge and Secretary Hughes is we'll known. Their aim has been to steer clear of fore ign tanglements This does not mean that the U $. will remain aloof from Europe any other part of the world. We are interested in every develop ment of political consequence wherever it may occur But this Government will commit itself in ad- vance to any abstract programme of international effort.
 It is unquestionabIe that the recent verdict con- stituted reiteration of the American desire ex- pressed in the Harding election four years ago, to remain permanently apart from the Wisonized League of Nations. The policy of the Administra- ion to examine each foreign proposal separately rather than commit itself in advance to indefinite plans which the League may sponsor has received the cordial endorsement of the electorate This does not signify of course that the United States will be a non-partcipant in international confer ences that may be called to decide the issues of vi- tai moment to all nations. Indeed the United States under the leadership of President Coolidge may assume the initiative whenever such conferences to promote economic welfare and remove hnderances to peace have a reasonable chance of success
 Ii must be manifested however, to every think ing citizen that we have got away from that nebu- lous idealism in lo handling of our foreign atf4us which proved 50 impracticable Immediately af ar the war; The fear that we might become pett*;. uently embroled in distinctly European political controversies no longer exists. The 1924 election must be regarded as the final answer to those inter- rttonaists who would have sacrificed American institutions and traditions for the sake of adher- enc to imperfect and disappointing orga l;za, ioD for the preservation of International conc2 d.

Bitter warfare is still going in the ranks of the Democratic party The Atlanta Constitution having assailed M. R. NcAdoo brother of w. c.

The masses of the people were satisfied with Coolidge and had confidence in his ability, integrity and courage They voted for Coolidge and Dawes, not merely against Davis and LaFollctte
 If the present administration gives fairly good account of itself in the next four years the in dependent voters who lined up behind the Republi- can ticket in 1924 will also vote that ticket in 1928 regardless of the personnel of the Democratic or Third Party candidates.

~ HINA is now making its
own text books. The school
I book field is a big one and
the possibilities are enor-
nous. Since the new educa-
ton came in more than 100000
students have entered the graded
schools. and a great wave of popular
education is going over the country.
The masses of the people, however,
have scarcely been touched. We have
only one-fourth the population of
China, and our school children be-
tween and IS years are about
2S,000.0 900. That was the number
four years ago, and there are prob
ably more than 30.000,000 today.
When China has as many in proper

children in her graded schools, to

schools and colleges. AS it Is now,
there are two large school-book pub
fishing firms here in Shanghai and
they are turning out books by the
millions.
I have just visited the largest and
oldest of them. This is the CONNER

years ago with a paid-up capital OF
$4,000 gold. Its capital Is now two

a graduate of Yale and one of the
field secretaries sent by the inter-
national committee OF the Y. NJ. c. A.
to work among the Chinese laborers
in France during the war. Tong got
up unique set of text books using
only 500 characters. These books
were published by the Commercial
Press and they had a large sale.
They covered such subjects as geog-

children, and a monthly magazine of
important news and human interest
topics. All these were in 900 char

schools were established to teach
them. These schools had tens of
thousands of pupils over 40 years
of age.
At the same time. without any
knowledge of what Tong was doing,
