A NEW CONCEPT

A new concept of advertising as a more potent force in demo. cratic eXpression-is being forg- ed by the circumstances of the age in which We live.
 This concept begins with bas ic fact: Advertising is a means and very effective means, ot mass communication. It is fast and it costs less than any other method.
 The traditional purpose of ad- vertising, of course, is to "selP' good. However, advertising does not actually "sell" goods. It re- suits in sales. It does this by in- forming great many people about the goods-informing them of the utility and desirability of the goods-and of these a certain number will have use for the goods at the stated price.
 Advertising is an informative process, in other words, on a mass basis. And this is where it is assuming new and more i'm portant usefulness in the demo- cratic scheme of the modern time for this is an era when mass information is of decisive import ance.
 AS noted in recent discourse by H. A. Batten, president of a national advertising agency, ad- vertising is playing an increas- ingly important role in the shap- ing of American thought. And, in some instances, its use is strik- ingly at variance with the tradi- tional concept of advertising. Thus, during the gasoline short age along the eastern seaboard, certain gasoline and oil compan- ies used advertising asking peo- pie in effect to reduce their pur- chases of gasoline as an aid to national defense.
 Similarly, agencies and organ izations pro and con on various national topics have used adVer- Using as a means of mass inform ation in behalf of their theories. Advertising is useful tool for anyone who has a case to pre- sent, whether it be case for commercial, political, or chari- table purposes.
 As the functions of democracy grow more complex, the import ance of advertising as the tech nique of mas information conse- quently will increase.

BURMA ROAD IS BIG
 FACTOR IN FAR EAST

(4) Drivers schools, with Is Americans as teachers, were set up at strategic centers.
 (5) Mobile repair shops and wrecking trucks were ordered, gasoline storage facilities obtain ed.
 (6) Orders for 10000 new Am erican-made trucks were entered in China's requisition for lend lease aid.
 The new Burma Road set-up, Arnstein testifies, replaces a sor- ry mess. He cites the case of one two-ton truck found loaded with four tons of freight, plus gaso- line for a round trip, plus half a dozen illicit passengers each with a bundle. fabrication was virtually non-eXistent - such vital parts as steering knuckles stood bare for weeks at time. Drivers repaired their own trucks, cooked their own meals and arranged their own loads.
 When the New Yorker visited the highway he counted Is agen- cies authorized to stop trucks and exact a fee or accounting in formation. When the deputies weren't around, the trucks wait ed. Delays in a single through journey sometimes added up to a week.
 Truckers formerly drove in conveys, travelling only as fast as the s'owest truck. Today, as they drive alone, their progress is checked by the radio network, and police warn them of bomb- ings and other emergencies.
 "Americanization' of the high way has been confined to the 600 mile stretch between the Burma Chinese border and Running, capital of the Yunnan province. Arnstein. viewing it for the first time, found himself "aWfully sur prised' by the excellence of the asphait-gravel-rock- pebble sur face. It was, he quotes a friend, "a road scracthed out by the fin gernails of an empire" Com pleted, it gave China through freight route to British India as a substitute for the Pacific ports lost in the war.
 Should Japan attempt a thrust through the iungles and moun- tains from Indo-China. she may well threaten the Burma Road. But the precipitous terrain would prove difficult if not im- passab Q for mechanized equip ment, leaving the issue to be de- cided by infantry and guerrilla fighters. In this phase of her struggle with Japan. China so far has not been a big loser.

Back of the Chinese lines, deep in high Asia, new hope rolls to- ward the beleaguered armies of Chiang Kai-Shek. It rides in Am erican trucks, driven American fashion, over a highway run by Americans. The Burma Road is receiving a Yankee overhauling.
 The transportation experts at work on the one remaining Chi nese lifeline are thankful today they have the job well under way. There has been a Japanese voiced threat to attack the Bur ma Road from the south, to put an end to large-scale American intervention in China" Stores of lend-lease munitions, gasoline, and machinery rolling over the streamlined highway will help head off such danger.

nedQ OH SuC0 udHSeI.
 The road today is a far cry from that of a year ago. Its trans formation stems from tele- phone call last spring a call made by Harry Hopkins, in the White House, to Daniel Arnstein, vacationing in Florida.
 We've got a trucking problem said Hopkins, and need a man 10 work 1t out. We thought you could suggest somebody"
 A day or two later ArnStein, head of a great New York trans portation enterprise, stopped off in the capital. The problem" he learned was the Burma Road He recommended a hard-boiled, self-reliant, former cab driver himself.
 During the summer Arnstein and two fellow trucking execut- ives, Harold Davis and Marco Hellman, flew to China for a closeup study of their assign ment. They found chaotic condi- tions, reported the straight facts 10 Chiang Kai-Shek. They also decided what should be done. This week. because of their eff forts, Arnstein can report a 400 per cent increase in tonnage.
 To reiuVenate the Burma Road the three experts did just what any careful business man would do in building an efficient truck ing organization. They recom- mended that single managing dir ector, with complete authority over the highway, be named to replace a Welter of bureaus and deputies. Under him they placed two Americans, one an expert in truck and road maintenance, the other an experienced dispatcher and terminal manager. These men were installed in a main con trol office at Running, eastern end of the road.
 Next, a highway patrol was formed, detailed to keep traffic moving as smoothly as on any main highway in America. A short wave radio system was built 10 aid in the task. Round ing out the organization was de partment of finance, accounting and statistics, equipped to take over the work of a score of tax collectors and provincial officials formerly strung out along the road
 With the foundation of this gen eral structure completed, other important steps were taken:
 CD Large maintenance stations each under an Americans direc- tion, were built days run apart. Shop foremen from the United States were assigned to supervise repairs and instruct Chinese assistant. Restaurants and overngiht sleeping facilities were provided.
 CD Intermediate repair shops, a half days run from the big centers, were built. Here, too, were restaurants and rest houses. And here, too, Americans were placed in charge. (3) Along the entire roadway was initiated the American "pre- ventatiVe maintenance plan," a system based on keeping trucks from breaking down rather than l

MONTANA SECOND
IN WOOL OUTPUT
ALSO RANKS SECOND IN SHEEP
PRODUCTION; TEXAS
LEADS

A $32 900 900 industry In Montana
was represented by the three-day con-
vent!on which was held at the Rain
bow hotel and civic center at Great
Falls few days ago, that of the Mon
tana Woolgrowers association.
Montana ranks second among all the
states in sheep production and second
in wool production. Only Texas. with
its immense area, lead this state.
And Great Falls is the center of the
northern Montana wool and sheep in
dustry. The northern area is a larger
producer than the southern counties,
but Great Falls is relatively close to
the latter, too.
That city, therefore. has been called
the hub OF Montana's wool and sheep
production.
Montana is finely adaptable to the
raising of sheep. These conditions are
said by some to be even more favor
able TO sheep than to cattle.
1t also is commended that Montana
is better suited to the Merino and fine
wool types than most other sections
OF the intermountain region. The high
quality of Montana wool is reflected
IN the average grading Of 20 percent
fine wool and so percent medium.
Weights per fleece over a period Of
more than 80 years have varied mostly
between 6.S pounds and SO pounds,
with a growing tendency toward the
latter figure. The national average is
about 7.6 pounds.
Montana lambs always have met
good demand from feeders. Nearly half
OF Montana's lamb exports are direct
10 feeders in the corn belt states and
western feeding areas.
Sales of wool in 1899, according to
the United States agricultural market
ing service, brought to Montana S.
$4,000. In the same year, income
from sheep and lambs for the state
was s7,765 900. Sheep and lambs within
the state in 1889 were valued at Soc
65i 900.

Cholera and typhoid seem to be
seasonal in their occurrence, for they
are known to appear in midsummer
and during the winter.
Often these two diseases appear in
the same flock at the same time and
are hard 10 distinguish from each
other. Deaths from cholera usually
are sudden and severe, while typhoid
is more lingering disease causing
a slower and more prolonged NOR
tally.
Experiment station workers in New
York have proved the value of vac
the results Of their work can be APP
piled to other fowl as we'll Workers
at the Kansas State agricultural COL
lege have reported favorably on the
use of bacterin to vaccinate against
typhoid.
Bacterins containing killed cultures
of the cholera or typhoid organisms
are available, which can be used in
vaccinating all types of fowl to stimu-
late q resistance to these diseases
Where it is thought that cholera and
typhoid both are present. a mixed
bacterin containing both organisms
can be obtained, and the pouitryman
also can have . bacterin made from
cultures taken from diseased speci-
mems from his own flock.
Bactertns are manufactured in COM
merctal laboratories under government
license. They are injected under the
skin with q syringe. usually In two
doses Of 2 &C. each at two or three
day intervals. Vaccination with BAG
terms will serve to stimulate an I'M
muntty against the organisms which
are present in the flock.
Vaccination with bacterins Is eco
nomical and practical. Cholera and
typhoid diseases are very commonly
found In poultry, and Vaccination
snould be praettced ct least twice each
year to maintain . durable Immunity.

FEEDER TOURS
PROVE POPULAR
CONDUCTED TO INCREASE INTER.
EST IN IMPROVED FEED
ING METHODS

Conducted for the purpose Of pro-
noting increased interest In live
stock feeding and improved feed
ing methods, the 1871 feeder tours
held in six Montana communities
in January attracted wide interest
and large attendances, reports E.
P. circuit, extension livestock spe-
cialist at Montana State college,
In his summary of the tours.
This was the third consecutive year
in which the extension sponsored
tours have been held and a total of
1889 farmers and Stockmen attended
the field trips and 1852 attended the
programs at the meetings. The tours
were held at Chinook, Sidney. Forsyth.
Hardin. Billings and Fromberg. At
each tour feeders commented on the
new and different methods used in
feed lot management, circuit said.
Each of the tour programs was SIM
liar and included a field trip to feed
lots where some specific educationa!
point was emphasized, cattle grad
the Armour & Company plant at
Fargo, a lamb grading demonstration
by H. F. Patterson, Billings feeder.
and comments by individual feeders.
At the afternoon or evening meeting
held at each tour, DR.. Hadleigh Marsh
of the Montana Veterinary Research
laboratory at Montana State college
discussed feed lot diseases and sani-
tation, G. H. Bingham, extension ir-
rigation specialist. explained the value
of feed lot fertilizer. and E. P. Or
cult gave demonstration OF carcass
grades and values.
Local leaders in feeding operations
also appeared on the program at each
meeting. At Chinook the subject OF
feed lot management was discussed by
Halter Gearhart of the Utah-Idaha
Sugar Co. At Forsyth, Billings and
Fromberg. E. ]. Maynard. head of the
Maynard Brokerage company at Bill
lings, gave illustrated lectures on cat
tie and sheep feeding. At Hardin feed
ing practices were discussed by Jack
Chancey of the Holly Sugar Co.
Accompanying all of the tours were
delegations of market men and rail-
road officials.
