WHAT ADVERTISING DOES

America has the best life on this
earth because II has the best adver-
tised life. says Colonel W. @. Edens
OF the Public Relations Commission,
American Bankers Association. He
goes on: American health Is the best
In the world because American peo-
pie are best informed In the ways and
habits of health. largely through ad-
vertising. American business is the
largest and most successful in the
world because II uses advertising the
most American business men enlarge
their business institutions In proper
ton as they advertise them. Ameri.
can buyers become more shrewd In
spending their money In proportion
as they read advertisements.
"The press Of the United States is
regarded by many as the most power.
full Of our institutions. II must be
numbered with the schools and the
churches as one of the trinity Of most
powerful creators of knowledge and
patriotism.
Advertising is what It is today
largely because OF the power and sue
cess of the daily paper. Nevertheless.
1t is true that the daily paper is as
successful as II is today because OF
Advertising.
The banking business has been ben
Gifted largely by advertising within
the last dozen or fifteen years. Bank
ing institutions have done more ad.
vertising than ever before, They have
installed advertising departments
which acquaint their communities
with facts formerly regarded In the
light Of institutional secrets. The
banker publishes facts which build up
confidence in his institution.
''The result has been that millions
OF people who formerly would not
place their money in the care OF bank.
ers. but who boarded II at home. en-
trusted II to friends, or invested II in
wildcat speculations, now regard the
bank as the safest place In the world.
Hundreds OF millions OF dollars have
been brought from their hiding places
and placed In circulation. much to the
advance Of America and American In
situations. as well as American busI.
ness. Newspaper advertising has
done more for American banks in the
last dozen years than any other single
agency"

Frances Debt.

Some intimation comes from
across the water that France is con-
templating the funding of her debt
to the United States.
That's find if it is true. France
owes Us the paltry sum of S3,917,-
325,974, but we can scarcely imag-
inc that she has any intention of
arranging for a gradual payment,
extending over a long period of
years, such as England did.
France could 90 farther and do
worse. Through our ally in the
war. Frances course since the war
has not recommended her to the
average American citizen.
She would have been held in much
higher esteem today in America if
she had used the energy employed
while trying to collect the German
Preparations bill, in making an
honest effort to pay her just debts.
1t goes without saying that we can
use the money in this country. The
federal government is demanding
eCOhOHiy III EONSA AliuSiA10i ~AAHii .
the president wants congress to
reduce taxes and the veterans of the
world war are seeking a bonus.
Meanwhile there is hue and cry
from the people for lower taxes.
II France and other European
debt-ridden countries would go to
work and forget their world-old
pickering and political intriguesr
there might be some hope for settle
ment Of the war debts.
But its doubtful if such q
millennium can ever be realized
That's what makes US suspicious
about the report that France con-
templates negotiations for paying

WHAT SORT OF SNOW REMOVAL
ON ROADS?
Importance of Work to Highway
Investment.

A good road may be badly injured
by improper snow removal. As yet,
clearing a highway of snow is ANY
body's job" in most localities; if the
State or county doesn't do it, the
transportation company will. In
deed, many automobile trucking
concerns in the Middle West and
North have more adequate snow
removal apparatus than the States,
the roads of which they use.
But the private concern, in remov-
ing snow from a highway, naturally
considers only its immediate benefit,
and spends no more money on the
task than necessity requires.
Snow removed from the complete
width of the highway, down to the
surface, permits the road to freeze,
but it freezes all over, and in the
spring, thaws all over. Snow re-
moved from the center of highway
presents strip for freezing, leaving
the sides of the road protected from
cold by snow. When the thaw comes
and the snow disappears, the sides
are left soft and the center hard; re-
suit, ruts and broken crown.
Snow which is removed but par
TALLY results in ruts in the covering
mat of snow, (which all wheeled
vehicles follow. There is no more
destructive treatment to be given any
highway than a concentration of all
loads on the same spot. The result
is a speedy pushing aside of founda-
ton stones, and rutty condition
which is extremely destructive of
the road.
County, State, and municipal au-
thorities can well afford to make
regulations regarding snow removal,
which will protect the highways
which cost so much. An investment
of five, ten, twenty, thirty thousand
dollars mile should not be imperill-
ed because of unwillngness to spend
few dollars per mile during winter
for proper and adequate snow
removal

SHOULD HIGHWAY TRAFFIC
NAVE FEDERAL SUPERVISION?
United States Chamber of Com
merce Committee Says Yes.

Motor transport should come
under Federal supervision, like rail
and water carriers. Highways
should be developed in response to
needs. so says a report submitted by
special committee to the United
States Chamber of Commerce.
The personnel of the committee
Includes railway traffic officials,
officers of farm and labor organiza-
tons. representatives of the motor
industry, motor haulage companies,
water carriers, and the shipping
public,
The committee believes that
"The best interests of the public
and the carriers lie in cooperation be-
tween the various agencies of trans
poration
THE greatest opportunity for CO.
operation it at the points where the
capacity of the railroads is most
limited; that is, in the terminal areas
Of our great cities.
Store door delivery by motor
truck is undoubtedly the greatest
contribution which can be made to
the solution of the terminal problem.
Outside of the terminal areas,
motor trucks and buses should be
used to supplement the facilities of
existing common carriers.
ut is to the public interest, as well
as to the interest of the respective
carriers, that the economic limita-
ton of each type of carrier be
recognized; that the railroads be per-
mitted to discontinue Improbable
service to which the motor is better
suited, and that the motor abandon
its efforts to handle general traffic
over excessive distances.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE
LICENSE FEES?
Motor Car Registration Pays For
Good Roads.

Forty-eight States collected $751;
367,023 in 1922 as receipts from
automobile license fees. The cost
of collection, the cost of the plates
themselves, and other expenses was
less than four million dollars, so that
total of $14S,750,000 was left as
the net receipts to be spent on
highways.
This sum is divided into appropria-
tions for State highway departments,
l6 millions; Federal aid funds, 81
millions; maintenance of Federal
aid roads, 80 millions; construction
of other than Federal aid roads, y
millions; maintenance of other than
Federal aid roads. 81 Y millions; and
given as aid to counties, 20 II
millions.
New Hampshire collects the larg-
est revenue per individual car or
truck, getting an average Of $2573
each while Arizona is easiest upon
ear owners from the license stand
point obtaining but $500 each

A FARMERS PROFIT ON ROAD
BUILDING
Short Highway Sells Valuable
Property.

A land owner in a Southern State
had large property of many acres,
a beautiful house, and big peach
orchard in bearing. Family circum-
stances made it necessary for him to
sell his property, which was valued
about a hundred thousand dollars.
Putting it in the hands of some able
real estate men, the property owner
received several calls from prospec-
tive purchasers. He met these pur-
chasers at the railroad station, mo-
tored them six miles over a good
State road, and half mile over
very rough and bumpy dirt road to
his house.
None of them purchased.
Acting on the advice of one of the
real estate men, the owner spent five
thousand dollars and made that last
half mile as good as the State road.
The property was sold at a price
which included the cost of the road
plus a profit on the roads, within one
month of its completion!
What happens in one case will
happen in another. A good road
greatly increases the value of all
adjacent realty, especially farms.

The New Year, with all of its i'm
aginary problems, is upon US.
What we do in the next twelve
months depends entirely upon our
own Individual initiative.
Although individual initiative is
essential, no individual is going to
accomplish the desired results with
out the cooperation of everyone.
Here in this town, it will be
necessary, if success is written
across 1924, for every citizen to join
in one long, steady pull.
Nothing of value will develop
from joint community effort when
there are petty jealousies. The
problems themselves are sufficient
to occupy the minds of the best
citizens, free of any pickering or
quibbling.
Cooperative effort is the only
thing that will make our town a
better place. Cooperative means
working together for the common
good and placing it before private
ambitions.
Results will come only when
every class of citizen enters into the
spirit Of community betterment.
This does not mean that business
men alone can pull US out into large
fields. 1t does not mean that the
professional men or the farmers can
do it unaided
Overcoming the obstacles that
1924 is bound to offer will be pos
sible only by united pull.
So it's up to every loyal citizen to
pull his level best.-Ex.

with small automobile and the idea
of fitting the car with flange wheels,
to make it run on the unused rails
