$4,000, 900 NEWSPAPER READERS

There are 60,000,000 newspaper
readers in this country.
Nearly every literate home in the
United States is now a newspaper
reading home, and the daily paper
has superseded every other form of
printed matter in family interest.
Sixty million readers and the buy
ing habits of all of them are largely
formed by the advertising the news
papers carry.
j. G. Penny chairman, of the board
of directors of the well-known Penny
stores one of the most successful
mercantile enterprises in America
called attention to those facts the
other day in notable article in the
Fourth Estate. With striking clari-
ty he emphasized their significance
to the business world.
His view is that the "sales of pro-
perly advertised products and COM
panies have increased in equal mea-
sure as the growth of newspaper cir
culation has carried the advertising
into a constantly expanding circle of
readers.
From being looked upon as an ex-
pense," Mr.. Penny pointed out, "the
newspaper is looked upon as a mea-
sure of economy which by increasing
distribution and therefore production,
decreases operating overhead to a
point where the result in an actual
saving to the customer because of the
price conditions which they make pos
sible.

newspaper country in the world. 1t

a more uniform spread of the better
things in life. 1t has the greatest
stores, the greatest system of stores,

FREIGHT CARS USED
INSTEAD OF DETOUR
UNUSUAL SITUATION MAKES
AUTO FERRY NECESSARY
AROUND HIGHWAY CONSTRUC-
TION.

A new kind of detour will be avail
able to motorists in northern Min
nesota this summer. Instead of a
side road it will be a railroad. Freight
cars will be used as ferries to carry
automobiles past an impossible stretch
on trunk highway No. II east of In
ternational Falls. This arrangement
was made owing to an unusually diff
ficult highway situation.
A portion of this road, which goes
through a swampy region, became i'm
passable after some heavy rains in the
spring of 1925. 1t was impossible to
do anything at the time, but the en-
tire stretch, from International Falls
to the ST. Louis county line, was plac-
ed under contract for grading
1926. A late spring made it impos-
sible to start work until about June /,
and continued rains hampered the
work all last summer. One of the con-
tractors was unable to finish his pro-
ject and this job has been undertaken
this year by the bonding company
This spring again heavy rains have
delayed the work and have kept the
road impossible.
There is no road which can be used
as a detour, so the State Highway
department opened negotiations with
the Duluth, Winnipeg & Pacific rail-
road. This resulted in an offer to
carry automobiles between Ray and
Rainier at So each. Two trains run
daily and if there is enough traffic,
more trains will be put on.
In wet weather it may be impos-
sible to reach Ray and in that case
cars may be loaded on trains at Kin
mount or Ash Lake

CHURCH ACTS TO
GUST sfCANTRYS''
CONGREGATIONALISTS VOTE TO
RID PULPIT OF RENEGADE
PREACHERS; BY REV. w. B.
NORTON.

The National Council of the Con-
gregational Churches has decided to
take steps to remedy condition call
ed scandalous. A committee of seven
was authorized by vote of the coun-
Gil without using the term, to get
rid of the Elmer Gantry type Of pas
tor.
The matter was brought before the
council by the business committee
and was presented by Rev. E. B.
Robinson of Massachusetts.
"We have in our part of the coun-
try" said Mr.. Robinson, 1.-TWO min
listers occupying prominent pulpits
who came to us from other denomi-
nations, following scandal in their
respective churches. We also had
two young men ordained to the min
istry who would not have been re-
ceived by any other of the large de-
nominations"
In presenting the resolutions from
the business committee Mr.. Robinson
said it stated the case mildly but he
hoped it would result in more careful
supervision so as to prevent future
scandals.
The resolution as adopted read:
"We recommend the appointment
of a committee of seven members
to study means of emphasizing the
highest Christian ministerial stand
ards in terms of the present day and
to report on means for establishing
and maintaining such standards; and
that the nominating committee be
requested to nominate members OF

SPEEDING UP NATURE
'sThe Harvest Of the Years." by Lu-
ther Burbank.

Their Burbank.
must recall what have said about
the two new ideas that went into my
life work: the idea that man could
use natures own processes in a whole
sale and definitely planned way, and
the idea that he could considerably
speed up her process. There is no
clearer illustration of this than to
compare the fashion by which nature
worked before man entered into the
the methods he used and the results
he got, even in the most slip-shod and
indefinite style, after he began to
raise fruit. 1t took the wild plum
uncounted thousands Of years to de-
velop into the small, sour, undesir-
able fruit we find in our own woods
and canyons today; in two or three
short centuries, with nothing more
than the most casual knowledge of
care man made the plum edible, fairly
sweet, and measurably juicy by un-
trained selection and by cultivation.

Prone to Disagree

Doctors seem as prone to disagree
over law as over disease. One crowd
chafes at the restriction placed on
the sale of whisky, while another
crowd demands more restrictions on
the sale of cospetics.
The principle of prohibition in
cludes more than liquor. If you don't
believe in it for one commodity, don't
preach 1t for another.
The bacteriophage is of more i'm
portance to the medical profession
than laws with regard to liquor and
cosmetics. Whatever the curative
qualities Of law may be the curative
qualities of nature are more reliable.
For years it has been known that
the filtered water from sewage
plants contained a curative princi-
pie.
This principle has been found to
consist of minutae which develop
and multiply like living organisms
and which destroy disease germs.
Doctors Janet A. and George T..

presented the possibilities of this in

" Says:
London Raid Appears to
Have Turned out
q Fizzle.
BY NJ. e. Tracy

~A' @~s NA0NJ
The London raid appears to have
turned out a fizzle. Whatever else
the police found, they did not find
the one important document they
were looking for.
Joynson-Hicks explains that the
raid was justified in spite of this
failure. He feels quite sure that the
Russians were in possession of the
document at one time or other, and
suggests that it might have been
missed through the courtesy which
the police showed women employees.
Laborite members of Parliament
want to know why the police took
such a chance with courtesy. They
are amazed to find the police plead
ing kindness to women as the cause
of failure in a raid which violated
about every other rule of law and
decency.
The London raid and its results
are typical of a frame of mind to-
ward Russia which has become world
wide.
Whether 1t Is a revolution in
China. a murder in Massachusetts, a
Liberal movement in Nicaragua. a
fur strike in New York or a lost
State paper in England. there are
plenty of people to yell that Russia
was responsible, and there are more
to believe them.
The injustice from which Russia
suffers because of this idea is Of less
consequence. perhaps, than the stu
pid mistakes which it leads the rest
of the world to make.
