 Adams Speaks. Chairman Adams then addressed the convention. saying:
 This is inc eighteenth republican national convention.
 Tt is only sixty years since Lin coin was president In that brief period our country has enjoyed the greatest moral and material advance ment in all history.
 This has been brought about largely under republican rule. And at no time have the problems of government been more wisely and ef- fectively met than during the last three years"
 Our party has always stood for constructive progress. II has always endeayored to promote the welfare of the average man. It has always ad- hered to Americas best traditions, both in domestic and in foreign af- fairs.
 To-day Europe is torn by class cleavage and hatred which threatens every social order. America, alone, in the great family of nations, is united and stable, prosperous and free, and at peace with all the world.
 We are here now to pledge anew our faith in American institutions and to name the next president and vice president of the United States
 Chairman Adams made pictur- esque figure with his shock of snow white hair. The Pennsylvania dele gates wheeled Albert Davis, a dele gate from Wilkesbarre down to the front of the hall so he could hear Mir. Adams.
 There was applause when the chair man referred to Lincoln and more ap- plause when he referred to the pre- servation of American institutions.
 Mir. Adams then proposed Repre- sentative Burton of Ohio for tcmpor- ary chairman, amid a burst of ap- plause led by the Ohio delegates and visitors. He appointed Senator Nor beck Of South Dakota, A. T. Roberts of Michigan, and Anne s. Carlisle of Indianna to bring the chairman to the platform. Senator Norbeck was not in the hall and the chairman of the South Dakota delegation acted in his place.
 In the hurry of getting if over with, Chairman Adams forgot 10 put a vote 10 the convention on the selection of MT. Burton until after he had ap- pointed the committe to escort him to the chair.

 The Vermont delegation had the place of honor on the floor immediate ly in front of the speakers stand in honor of the state which was Presi- dent Coolidge's birthplace. Massachu- setts was seated right across the aisle. The other delegations were in about the same positions as they have been heretofore.
 There was a good deal of vice. presidential booming going on on the floor while the delegates were assembling.
 Chairman Adams however, broke in on the disorder on the floor and call- ed the convention to order promptly at II o'clock. John Philip Sousa, from a place on the speaks stand led the band which took places on the floor and played the Star Spangled Banner instead of parading about as had first been planned while the band was playing. A great flag was dropped in front of the flags. The band swung into the Stars and Stripes Forever, with Sousa leading.
 The delegate sections on the floor had meanwhile filled up but there still were many seats in the gallery.
 At the conclusion of the march, Bishop Anderson offered prayer while the convention stood.

GOOD MORNING-How many of us stop when
we say Good Morning" to think what that phrase
means. Nobody knows how it started, but he or
she to VIII; III the dea first came was poet. For
in those TIC words lives the essen.e OF PRAYER.
OF course we who say it hope that Our own morn
ing may be Good that goes without saying But
do we go step further, and breathe prayer that
the day of those we meet may also be filled with
happiness? The full phrase of our ancestors was
"God give thee good morrow"
This would be a great old world if we really
meant what we said if when we greeted our &C
quaintances, we really wanted their days to be
filled with the joy OF living If we did, we'd go
cut and help to make them so.

BUILDING UP A COMMUNITIES BUs1-

OP "A OOMM > BUSl-
NESS VOLUME-The advertising game" is
more and more becoming the telling factor, the
barometer il you please for finding the business
pulse OF a community in general Along with tidy
streets and we'll kept business houses, should go
the well filled advertising columns of the local
newspaper. No local community can reach high
degree of prosperity without the local newspaper,
as likewise no local newspaper can experience
%~rie prosperity without the cooperation of the
prosperous business people of the community.
Advertising Systematically and persistently fol-
lowed shows real value in the increased sales of
any business house
Recently friend and patron OF The Leader,
who annually has task requiring special public
ity, asked the management to make news item
showing just what he was going to do in his office
This service freely and gladly given. The
patron conplacently remarked, "you have no idea
how those little items help. We are always busy
the next day after you make such item"
The idea of the needed publicity was not new
or strange to us, because publishers know the
mission Of their columns and what they will ac-
complish. Ask any newspaper worker who has
inadvertently made an error misstatement He
is Immediately prodded and jbed and kept busy
explaining matters for days to come, even tho the
error covers only two lines in print
Oh yes, newspaper people are well aware
that advertising-the commodity we have to sell
is effective. When business concerns who do
not advertise, who advertise spasmodicaly,
wake up to the sales-building power of definite
newspaper advertising policy we will have bet
Ter community.

Walsh of Massachusetts, must be forced into a
position of defending the recent oil investigation
or when any man must defend himself for dscos-

mited to continue we shall soon have the specta-

themselves for running down crooks. Defense of
