IF ADVERTISING STOPPED

/
what would be the reaction upon
the cost cf living if advertising ceas-
ed and it's benehcient force was
stopped? This question, asked by
the Fourth Estate, provides much
food for rumination.
1t is an interesting conjecture.
Advertising largely takes the place
of personal selling effort, which is
very much more expensive.
| A California editor cogitating on
the possibility of a cessation of ad-
vertising says:
at would mean that our railroad
trains would be thronged with
statesmen whose homeward bound
mail would carry fewer orders, all
of smaller volume than now.
Distribution upon the present
scale would be impossible. Manu-
featuring would fall off, with con-
sequent decrease in labor demand.
Jobbers would find their business
proportionally limited. Retailers
would make fewer and slower turn
overs. Prices Of all commodities
would take a rise that would make
war prices and anti-war prices seem
low by comparison"

1T TAKES a lot of pushing for
any community to get the improve
ments and new advantages which
any city must keep getting in order
to keep up with the procession. That
calls for certain groups of people
to assume responsibility for organ
izing efforts in certain directions.
1t is a good idea at the beginning
of each year, to have general meet
ing for consideration of new enter
prises and movements, and to find
some organization or committee OF
group of people that shall take the |
responsibility for pushing each one.
1t does not pay to plan too many
things to be accomplished in a town.
But when some project has been
taken up, it should be incessantly
pushed, until it is either successful,
or reasons are found why it is not
practical at this time.

MOST AMERICANS get their
schooling between the ages of 6 and
16, says Prof. Dallas L. Sharp, of
Boston University.
That is true. But most of us do
not begin to get our real education
until we leave school. Experience
remains the greatest teacher.
When a school graduate strikes
out in the world for himself, one of
the first things he has to do is un-
learn much of what he has been

most time to. get out of the head is !

NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS

NEW LEAN OEHLDD1IAOANO
The First of January has been one
of the years chief dates for many
years. Anything that is new is al
ways fascinating. We love the un-
explored, the unaccusSomed, the no
vel, and when our human nature sees
these 12 months of a new calendar
ahead, which bring the most inter-
esting possibilities, it rises in antici-
patton, and it looks forward to the
prospect with hope that these un-
known days are to bring many joys
and successes.
So people reach on New Years
eve the high pitch of hilarity. In
place of the solemn resolution MAX
ing and introspection of the days of
yore, we have the doings of New
Years eve, with much dancing and
feasting and various fantastic tricks.
The merry makers often carry on
with more vigoF and enthusiasm than
with judgment, and frequently it
takes several days out of this priced
new year to get over the headaches
of the occasion.
1t is we'll that we can not see all
the trials ahead, and that we are in
clined to take the bright view of the
coming months. The people who en-
ter the new year with lugubrious
thoughts do not have the right con-
ception of it.
Yet we do not get quite the right
idea if it is simply a day of merry
making. The thought may well come
that time is f1eeting swiftly, and that
we will do we'll to make the best use
of the days as they go. Every day
should be a priced possession, filled
full of useful employments and
helpful recreations.
The people who Idle away their
time did not accomplish much in
1928, and 1929 will be little more re-
warding. Let us make 1929 a year
of patient effort, constant struggle
for self improvement, kind thoughts
and deeds for those about us, with
some positive contribution of service
to our community and country.

OUT OF WORK IN WINTER
Summer provides more work for
the people than winter. A vast num-
ber of people have work on farms
and road construction through the
summer, but many of them fail TO
find anything to do in winter. In
northern cities such jobs as care of
furnaces and snow shovell:ng make
some work, but probably no more
than enough to keep busy the men
who work on gardens and lawns in
summer. There is not usually as
much doing in the automobile bus
ness and building trades IN winter
rs in summer.
Winter brings poverty to many
who have these seasonal Jobs. 1t is
/ mystery how some of them get
llong. The country needs some
scheme for giving these people win
er work. Such employment would
,e a wonderful stroke of philan-
hropy, which many people in Della
ware would appreciate.
