Portfolio Found
A portfolio containing advertising
copy for the Real Silk Hosiery Mills
was found in the wash room.
The Mckee company handles the
Real Silk advertising, and Lecltner
evidently had brought his advertise

was not yet open. Miss Lena Far

Leckner get off the elevator and go
to the wash room.
Robert Young, 9S9 N. Pennsyl

shoe store, said he was putting his
bicycle in the alley when he heard
a yell. Looking up he saw the body,

alley and narrowly escaped being
struck by the falling body

the body between the wheels of
his wagon. The body struck one

THE BOND

On March 10th Cody will hold a bond election for the pur-
pose !. decldlng whether or not it cares to take over the opera
OF the electric distributing system. At that time the peonIe
must make the decision as to whether they wish to assume the
responsibility OF handling this distribution of current as a NUM-
c,panty, or continue under the present system. There are many
angles to the new project. 1t probably has its advantages and
doubtless its disadvantages. Only freeholders. owners of real
property within the town, will be permitted to vote at this cleo
ton. The electorate should make it their duty to post them.
selves as to the issue.
The indifferent or un-posted voter decides many elections
He many times casts the deciding vote, both for and against
projects OF this sort. The Indifferent voter many times defeats
a very worthy enterprise, and probably in as MANY instances
puts over an unworthy one: What the town of Cody needs at
the present bond election is the votes of the taxpavers who
nave studied the problem which they are to decide. 1t would
be presumptious for The Herald to say whether the bonds should
be voted Oh rejected, but it does feel that With the voters of
Cody informed of the project which they are to decide, the vote
VIII be an intelligent one, which in all probability will be for
the towns best interests.
First inform yourself of the advantages and disadvantages
OF the proposed plans, and then vote as your best Judgment die
tates.

ADVERTISING AND THE CHURCH

Announcement that a church in New York City is to erect
a big electric sign on Broadway, calling attention to its services,
IS likely to cause some surprise. A few graybeards NAV shake
their heads in disapproval of the idea of the church resorting to
methods used by chewing gum manufacturers and theatres to
advertise their wares and attractions; they will think it undig-
nlhed. 1t is an unusual departure, to be sure; but there will be
far less criticism than would have been the case if the scheme
had been proposed ten years ago.
Advertising has come to be generally recognized a a lepit-
1mate Junction.. not only of commercial concerns, but of all Or
carnations which seek the patronage of the public. The adj
vert1sng art is almost as old as civilization. The ancients used
posters and pacards freely to announce games and festivals, and
to direct attention to the baths and taverns. The walls of the
most 1requented sections of Pompeii and Herculaneum are COW
cred with notices, painted in red and black. In view of its an
tiquity it is curious that advertising has been regarded with
suspicion until recent years, and even yet is considered unethical
by the practitioners of some of the learned professions.
1t is a gratifying indication that the churches are living,
growing institutions, abreast of the times and in sympathy with
the modern currents of thought; that they are resorting more
and more to the use of advertising-the powerful goth century
method of sending a message to vast numbers of people-Chey

REDUCING PUBLIC DEBT

During the last four years the public debt of our country
has been reduced some So, 198, 100000, and the annual interest
charge on the government has been reduced from S999, 600 OOO
to 865, 100000.
Speaking before the regular semiannual meeting of ex-
ecutlve officials OF the government, President Coolidge said:
The people of this nation have been not only patient under
the heavy burden of war taxation, they have been heroic. Their
burden of taxation has been greatly lghtened, but our fight
must be for further reduction of the burden of the people.
Our nation is prosperous. It's prosperity is due largely
to the economy which has been effected in the cost of govern
ment. 1t is this economy that has encouraged business, aboL
lshed unemployment, made wages high and work plentiful. 1t
is this economy which has enabled us since 1921 to reduce our
public debt so materially. 1t is this economy which has en-
abed the reduction in taxes"

NEWSPAPERS AND THE PUBLIC

Roy w. Howard, head of the Scripps Howard newspapers
discussing what newspapers owe the public, says, first of all a
newspaper must be a good citizen and a decent neighbor.
He says they should encourage tolerance and never forget
that a smile has an asset value even in the midst of a fight. He
would not print a story that puts a criminal brand on a young
person.
He thinks no story should be printed that raises a question
on the part of a clean minded boy or girl that cannot be an.
swered or explained by any parent familiar with normal realities
of life.
TINS Is a fine stand by an executive of a group of papers
that go to working people in hundreds of thousands of homes
registering a tendency toward cleaner journalism.
This new order is bound to minimize crimes, scandals. de-
tails of social and moral delinquencies, and substitute more space
for industries and enterprises by which nine-tenths of the
people make a living.

This will provide an extra channel

to transmit on this wave length, 1t is

erably in eliminating interference and

WRC IS ENLARG|NG
PARK ROAD STUDIO
Space Found inadequate.
Special Program to Mark
Completion, June |.

.Remodeling of the studios Of broad
casting station WRC, at Fourteenth
street and Park road, has been
started, and when completed, Will
give the radio corporation station
not only a larger main broadcast1ng
room but an additional small studio
and an enlarged reception room. The
work Is expected to be finished by
June 1, when q special christening
program will be arranged from the
new suite of studios.
The present space occupied by
WRC was fitted up in the Fall Of
1898, but with the enlarged programs
booked by the station, 1t has proved
Inadequate. One Of the greatest diff
ficulties encountered in broadcasting
from the original studios was in &C
commodating the service bands and
large choral or orchestral organiza-
tions, and in obtaining their proper
meditation for their music.
Will Improve Programs.
In the new main studio, this dim
Guilty Is expected to be overcome and
ample space for organizations Of
hundred or more persons will be pro-
vided. The additional small studio.
which has been included in the re-
modelling plans, will enable WRC to
run it's programs more smoothly by
eliminating the pauses often neces-
sary in the past, when time was re-
quired for the organizations to take
their places in the studio.
Under the new arrangement one
number can be broadcast from the
small studio, while a band, or or
chestra, is being placed in the main
studio, and then following the con-
cert in the main room, the program
can be switched Immediately back to
tho small studio.
While the remodeling work is being
carried on WRC will use q studio
especially fitted up for its use in the
Tivoli Theater Building, just across
the street. The use of this studio
has been given WRC By Harry NJ.
Crandall.
The plans for the new accomraoda-
tons for WRC were drawn by Wal
ter L. Tesch, engineer in charge at
