BETTER THAN MONEY

There dramatic scene in the office of
Count Bethlen, premier of Hungary, a few days
ago, when jeremiah Smith, the American economist
who has managed the finances of that country for
two years with brilliant success declined to accept
100000 in compensation for his service Nor
would he take high decoration, either. He pre-
ferred the friendship and gratitude of those people
to any gifts. and he wanted the money given to the
poor people of that country, they needed it
than he did.
This would be quite different world if there
we're more people in it like Mr.. Smith. We need q
lot of those folks doing public work for this coun-
try. Fortunately, there are good many such who
could be named. but there is room for large add
:tonal number
That man will get more happiness out of the
affection that those poor people there viii feel
for him than 100000 or any possible sum could
give him. The way is open for such deeds in our
own country.

SUMMER SUNDAYS

The churches much depleted during the
summer season. And yet the devil is said to be
just as active during hot weather. The good
causes of the community need support just the
same then.
It is quite as restful sitting in your comfort
able pew on Sunday morning, listening to thought
full words and taking part in the singing of inspir
ing hymns, as it is eating dust out on the motor
road, or walking or running your legs off at golf
or tennis.
Human nature seems to need an uplift and stsm-
illus of some kind at least once week. The mind
gets weary plodding along day by day on the same
lines of thought. It is true that fresh air and
pretty country provide inspiration, but they do not
seem to lift the thought much above faulty ma
ture, and we return with about the same hopes and
ideals.

BACKWARD SCHOOL CHILDREN


The old way Of judging the efficiency Of q
school was frequently to bring out some Of The
smaFtsst children and let them show off. Then
wheh they made fine display Of learning people
thought the school was doing wonderful work
The modern investigator Of education would
pay much less attention to these brilliant children
who would do well in any school He is more
anxious to know what the school is doing for that
large aumber of youngsters who can't keep up with
thsif Classes.
The prospects Of backward children can be
enormously improved and they can usually be made
useful citizens, II they have special training A
new science Of dealing with such children has been
created. II may cost little more. bat such young
people win become very troublesome and expensive
Il they grow up without special attention.

THE PROFIT MOTIVE

The world is at the present time witnessing a
very remarkable experiment, carried on to see
whether communities get along without relying
on the profit motive Over in Russia, for the past
eight years, they have been operating govern
ment on the idea that more happiness and comfort
for the people could be obtained, if the desire of
personal reward through private ownership and bus
mess profits could be eliminated.
Those communists feel that people ought to be
willing 20 work purely for the good of the
ity and trust to the justice of the government and
its agents to that they get fair share of the
gains resulting from their toll.
It may seem at first thought fine ideal in
some respects, to think that people should stop
grasping after things for themselves and just be
willing to work for common good, and without re-
gard for selfish gain. But the results so far have
sian people to economic misery. 1t was moi until
private enterprise and industry was allowed have
considerable scope again in that country, that their
industrial conditions began to improve.
The communistic ideal is defective and gross
ly unfair in that it does not give each person the
result Of his own toll Lazy and indifferent people
would fare about as well as those who are tosome
and industrious and who use their brains in their
effort. Any system that does that is fundamental
ly wrong, and will never endure
The system of private property has proved the
only far that will encourage social progress
because it gives the individual what he produces
himself, and thereby it encourages him to increase
his production, do his work inteligently, take
on heavy responsibilities and show enterprise and
courage, all which qualities benefit the community.

WHAT THEY SPEND FOR ADVERTISING
tThe Times of cuba)

An enlightening lot Of carefully compiled fig
ures concerning the percentage of gross receipts
spent for advertising by number of firms doing
nationwide business has recently been published
in Ramsey's Constructive Advertising.
Sears, Roehuck & Co. spend 10 per cent of
their gross for advertising welch's Grape Juice.
Old Dutch Cleanser and Mavis also spend 10 per
cent; Evinrude Motors, 8 per cent; McCray Re-
frigerators and Champion Spark Plugs. per cent;
Velvet Tobacco. per cent; Betty Wales Dresses,
Fatima Cigarettes. Markham Air Rifles and Phone
graphs. per cent
These are only few Of the concerns whose
advertising appropriations run into enormous sums
and everyone knows that they do an increasing
volume Of business year after year.
Yet, in spite Of such overwhelming proof Of
the efficacy Of intelligent publicity. many LEGAL
merchants still deceive themselves with the idea
that they ''cant afford TO advertise"
