NATURE IN NO HURRY.
ONLY HUMAN BABIES
THE LORD HAVE MERCY"

Mr.. Woodbridge, new head of the
Advertising Clubs of the World, says
newspapers are the 'per-eminent ad-
vertising medium for selling merchan
disc quickly"
- To the real business man it is
more than that. 1t is the ONLY
advertising force that can BUILD
UP A NAME. Repetition is Reputa-
ton.
And only newspapers can give
REPUTATION the REPETITION
that creates value. Dollars put into
brick, mortar, steel and glass will
tear down. Money invested in ad-
vertising, building up a name WOR-
THY to be advertised, will outlast
all your factories.
Ford's factories perhaps are worth
fifty millions. The one Word "Ford"
is worth at least TWO THOUSAND
MILLIONS.
South Africa, land that produces
gold, returns to the gold standard
initiating old Mother England. Down
there, below the equator, under the
hot sun, tens of thousands rush to
a new gold field. About ten times
as many blacks as whites are in the
rush. But, needless to say, when the
lrre% kn xx,h.%o. will +ka
gold dust.
What would happen to the gold
standard and the worlds finance
if this new gold field should sudden
ly multiply by two, or ten or twenty
the worlds, gold supply? That howev-
er will surely not happen. >
All through the ages, while men
have cut each others throats to get
them, gold and silver have maintain
ed thei value, based on scarcity with
slight fluctuations. Providence seems
to have arranged that for its mys-
terious reasons.
This is the only country that
has any supply of helium gas worth
while. We get it after it has leaked
up through the earth and in pools
of natural gas.
According to DR.. Elind, chief of
the Bureau of Mines, "it takes 20,-
100000 years for helium to leak
from minerals and rocks and come
within our reach"
Many things happen in. science
that couldn't happen if this earth
were only 5000 years old, as was
once believed. 1t took millions Of
years for evolution to change a
creature as big as fox, with seven
toes, into the horse of today.
1t takes ,2O,OOO,OO0 years for he
lium gas to become available. 1t will
take our sun 3OO,O0O,0O0 more years
to cool off.

One poor infant dug up after burial
had a fractured skull. The rate of
mortality was horrible.
If anybody kept such a farm for
baby dogs or cats, the Cruelty to
Animals Society" would probably re-
gulate it. How does it happen that
the so-called Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children know
nothing about the baby farms or it's
deaths?
Dean Inge, who doesn't like to be
called gloomy" is in London describ
ing America.
He says "our rushing energy is
mostly pose'' and that the language
we speak is something like the En-
glish language. On the whole the
dean is friendly.
In one of his essays he tells you
that when St. Paul thought he was
inspired he was suffering from an
attack of epilepsy.
If St. Paul could stand that, we
ought to be able to stand criticism
of our Yankee language.
