THE ADVERTISING CAME.
Every business, every public and
every religious institution in one way
or another has caught the advertising
spirit. .Some deny this. But what
is the sign board over a store, or the |
label on a can of tomatoes, or the
name and address on a paper bag
anything else other than an ad. Even
in strict church matters what is a
newspaper church directory but an
advertisement? The Rev. C. F. Reis
ner of New York city is advertising
all phases of his church work as reg
ularly thru the press as does his meat
butcher and dairyman advertises.
And why shouldn't he? Isn’t religion
as important as meat and drink?
Certainly. So why make so many
hair-splitting discriminations and
weak objections?
It is only a few who can claim that
they do not believe in advertising.
They call it a money-making scheme
and will refuse to do any of it and
turn round and answer an ad from
Cuba, Florida or Salifornia and drink
■their Coca Cola and Grape Juice all i
because they are attractively adver
tised. Such inconsistency did you j
ever hear of?
True, advertising costs money. But ‘
what is it that don’t cost something? -
Even lodges, Sunday schools, mis
sions, Red Cross work, Salvation Ar- I
mies, these free lectures, free shows,
free sermons and all things else cost
money. In a sense no man ever gets
anything free.
If saloon men, patent medicine
quacks, fake gold mine companies,
and rotten tobacco dealers can subsist

principally upon ads alone, why can’t
a legitimate business like farming,
selling goods, preaching and teaching
and a hundred other things be greatly
benefitted by them. What if some
one does get paid for getting up and
printing these ads? Most every body
else gets paid for what they do, un
less it be school directors and small
bank presidents, and they would be
more efficient and less friction take
place, if they were paid for what they
do. The people would actually respect
them more. It is the same with ads.
Let an ad run free and it would soon
fail to get the proper attention and
pains-taking care.
Advertising means economy in
time and money. Some have succeed
ed without it, but their success would
have been greater with it. A man
can reach more people thru one ad
vertisement than he could in person
reach in two months. Besides there
are some things that can be boosted
in print that would seem silly if said
in private conversation with a cus
tomer.
The person who reads advertise
t
ments, notices new signs, etc., are to
be complimented. It shows youth and
interest. Most people reaching old
age and sooner, fail to see new things
and an ad will always escape their
notice, whereas, a youngish person
always sees everything either in print
or out of it.
Women are the greatest readers of
ads. Wide-awake business men come
next and the general public third.To
all doubters close observation is in
vited to these points.
There are a dozen different ways of
advertising. But is is doubtful if any
of them can beat the newspaper meth
od. There is a newness or something
to this kind of advertising that no
calendar, circular, almanac or poster
can in any way approach. This is
probably due to its close intimacy
with news. There is no dance with
out music, no army without a band,
and unquestionably there can be no
newspaper without its ads. Anyway,
those that haven’t got it are, like
some of our denominational church
papers, very dull. Even law books
would be more interesting if they
would carry a few appropriate ads.
If mail order houses like Montgom
ery Ward & Co., Sears, Roebuck &
Co., and various other similar insti
tutions can build up a large business
thru advertisements, what is it that
our local merchants or our farming
industry couldn’t do it they once tried.
Some concerns, like the manufactur-!
ers of chewing gum, cold drinks and
cosmetics will spend millions of dol
| lars a year in advertisements and a
merchant or a farmer dealing in all
the real essentials of life will often
hesitate to spend one five-cent piece
all because some one else will get a
[ part of it. The situation is really
J amusing.

Mrs. J. C. Hoheimer and baby, Mar

Sunday. Margaret was operated on
for tonsil troubles and is getting
along nicely.
In last week’s Hatfield page the
livery barn at Hatfield and the Dick
ao# wagon yard at Mena got their ads
mixed and the results were rather
comical to those who noticed it.
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Lewis and
daughter, I«na, left last week for
Hot Springs and other points, to be
*°ne until fall. Mr. Lewis is wrest
ing with the white plague, and is
traveling to defeat it.
Mary Wckford at the Lyric in
Mena this week was full of humor
and pleased many, but “Cleopatra”
was a great dramatic production and
was rtitensely interesting to those
who had read the story.
R. R. Milter became the original
owner of a full-blood white face heif
er that measured 27 inches in height
and weighed 71 pounds. This is a
record for this county and it will
make a fine exhibit for our fair on
the 10th of August.
Mrs. Ed Ilutson and Mrs. L. H.
Johnson accompanied their husbands
to the Deason sale near Var.dervoort
Saturday. Mr. Hutson was auction
eer and Mr. Johnson clerk. These
two hustlers are in a class by them
selves when it comes to, handling
sales.
E. A. Davis believes in boosting
his town to the extent that he told
t crowd in Watkins' store Monday
that if he was so unfortunate as to
ever go to purgatory he intended to
boost the place, no matter how hot
things got. Going some—but it's a
pretty good spirit.
The Rev. H. H. Ridings, tho 78
years of age, was in town trading
Monday. Mr Ridings, with all his
years, walks to town, a distance of 3
miles, in 45 minutes, is doing con
siderable ditching on his son’s place,
and will preach his birthday sermon
Wednesday in Sevier county, at Belle
ville, his old home.
TO CARE FOR RAIL FINANCES.
Washington, April 13.—The rail
roads may safely look ahead to in-'
terest. dividend and maturities to
May 1 without much worry. The war
finance corporation and the bankers!
have arranged to look after the car
riers that far ahead, and afterward it
is expected that the load will be pass
ed over to the shoulders of Congress.
A special session is now looked for
before June 1 and perhaps May 15.
Confidence in early action by Presi
dent Wilson is supported by know
ledge that various government de
partments in addition to the Railroad
Administration are in urgent need of
money.
The question of most vital interest
to railroad security owners at pres
ent is whether or not another freight
rate increase will be made soon. The
increase of 65 million dollars in the
wage account last week, making the
full increase approximately 1 billion
dollars in the last sixteen months, in
dicated the need of a greater income
by the carriers, considering the situa
tion purely in relation to income and
outlay. Doubtless many shippers
would protest loudly against a fur
ther increase m carrying charges and
the cost of living would feel the ef
fect, but whether these considerations
j would have the power to prevent an
increase remains to be seen.

Australian Aviator Held Hack by a
Dense Fog and Rain—British Air
man Seeks to Make a Race of It.
St. John's N .-il 18.— !
fog and drizzling rain today caused
Harry G. Hawker, Australian aviator,
again to postpone hjs attempt to fly
across the Atlantic in quest of fame
and the $50,000 prize offered by the
London Daily Mail. Yesterday a
blustery southeaster made a “hop-off”
impossible.
Hawker plans to begin his adven
ture at the first signs of favoring
wind and weather, but mariners said
tonight it might be a week before the
misty curtain lifted.
Meanwhile the transatlantic flight is
developing rapidly a real race. En
couraged by the delays encountered
by Hawker. Capt. E. P. Haynham,
British airman, is rushing the work
of assembling his Martinsyde biplane,
which he hopes to have ready in time
to take the air at least as soon as
Hawker’s Sopwith machine “hops
off."
It was announced tonight that
Raynham would make an attempt to
get away Tuesday afternoon.

Constantinople, April 22.—Kemal
Bey, governor of Diarbekr, has been
publicly hanged at Bayazid Sipjare in
Stamboul in the presence of the mili
tary governor of Constantinople and
other high officials.
Kemal Bey was sentenced to death

Armenian deportations and massa
cres in the Yorzghai district. The
fcimer conmmander of the gendar
merie in Yozghad was sentenced to
fifteen years’ imprisonment in the
fortress.
These sentences wire confirmed by
an imperial irade.
The trial of those responsible for
the Armenian massacres by the

C onstantinople. The prosecutor de
clared that it was necessary to punish
the authors of the massacres which
had filled the whole world with a feel- i
mg of horror.
