ITS APPEAL is UNIVERSAL

Some more than others, but all to
a degree, like to wander through
stores. Man has been doing it so
long it seems almost instructive.
Perhaps the explanation for the uni
versal appeal of the store counters
lies in an inmate love of possession
and of anticipation of possession.
People are forever window-shop-
ping, looking around-the-store with
all the breathless expectancy of
children on Christmas eve. They
want something which they hope
some time to find in store made
to their own idea and to their price,
or they are just interested in the
things man is creating for man.
Not less irresistible is the news
paper with its columns of advertis-
ing. In these columns are found
the same wonders and coveted mer-
chandise that are found on the store
counters. Only the "eatalog and
counter" combined in the newspaper
advertising pages offers some adj
vantages peculiar to itself.
Every day millions of people the
world over peruse the newspaper
advertisements to inform themselves |
on the progress of civilization, on
new comforts made available to
mankind, on the fashions and wogues
of the day, on where to buy the best
of what they want at the most adj
vantageous price, and furthermore
for the same reason that they read
the front page, the feature sections,
financial and sports news-beeauSe
they are interested.
There are few things in which
men, women and children are more
interested than what the stores are
on their counters and in
their windows and cases and what
the newspapers are exhibiting in
picture and print in their advertis-
ing columns.

Delegates from the various Colorado river basin
states meeting there in effort solve the prob
lens arising from the intended construction of Boul-

1t is absolutely essential that some sort of agree
ment which be accepted by the seven states in
voved, be adopted at this meeting. The federal gov
ernment has done what the states have asked to do
provided the means for harnessng the Colorado
river.
The several million people residing in these states
and the millions to here cannot afford to
have the benefits of the governments action lost
them. While the danger Of this is remote. it exists
and should not be allowed to exist any longer than
necessary.
Indications that the representatives of the
various states going to the conference in op

conferences held heretofore This is good sign
There is also apparent desire to give and take and
willingness to compromise. Only in this way
agreement be reached
