WHO PAYS FOR ADVERTISING? Who pays for the advertising? That , was an old conundrum when Heck was a pup and as you no doubt know Heck is a very old dog now. But then, as now. the conundrum had an answer. And the answer is: Advertising pays for itself. Which is to say that neither the consumer nor the dealer pays for the; advertising in either higher prices or lowered quality. There’s an illustration which has been going the rounds for a long ' while now. It is worth repeating here. X and Z are competitors in the manufacture of rubber nipples for babies’ feeding bottles. Both produce 100,000 nipples a year and neither advertises. The nipples cost each manufacturer 12 cents each to make and they are sold to the dealer for 14 cents. Thus ieach manufacturer makes a profit of 2 cents on each nipple he sells. X determines to advertise and appropriates 1 cent on each nipple sold and presently finds his market expanded to a dema'nd for 200,000 nipples a year. When he gets to making 200,000 nipples a year he discovers that economics in manufacture thus made possible make his factory cost 10 cents. So that instead of making 2 cents on each nipple he’s making 3: cents and selling twice as many. So next year he increases his ap 1 propriation to 2 cents per nipple,■ sells 300.000 and gets his factory cost down to 8 cents—a profit of 4 cents ‘ —and the price still remains 14 cents ! to the dealer. Thus encouraged, the third year he increases his advertising appropriation to 4 cents for every nipple sold ami enjoys a distribution of 500,000 —and through further economics | made possible through huge quantity | production, he gets the factory cost ; down to a bed rock figure of 5 cents per nipple. Then he decides that, his profit is too long and he cuts the price to the trade to 12 cents, 2 cents lower than the beginning price—and makes 4 cents profit. Meanwhile Z continues his enterprise without advertising and is found standing still his factory cost continues at 12 cents, profit 2 cents and th? dealer's price 14 cents. X is clearly in the commanding position—he got there through advertising. He sells his nipple to the trade for 2 cents less, which affords the dealer an opportunity to make a longer profit—and you can guess whose nipple he buys and pushes. Meanwhile X is making 4 cents

Saving or Slaving Everyone knows what “slaving” menus—working to the limit of one’s strength without hope of relief. / Work was never intended to be | slavery, and the reward of work I should always he more than enough to buy necessities- , Not so many people know what I “saving” means. Saving is putting by ! a certain sum of money regularly so as to build up a reserve and make slaving unnecessary. / Everybody should save money and make that money slave for him at interest.

against Z’s 2 cents profit. Thus the advertising paid for itself. gate dealer and manufacturer a longer profit, coat the consumer uo more and probably iu some cases less. Good advertising pays its own way every time —Merchandising Advertising. A mass meeting was held in Huntington last evening for the purpose of voicing sentiment against the conI tinning of the "blue Sunday’’ regulations in that city. Since the decree to close up evrything in the ‘‘Opportunity Gateway City” so claimed, the interurban lines running to Fort Wayne, Wabash and other ‘cities have been crpwded on Sundays and it seems that the people do not want

to be told what they can do on the Sabbath. A happy medium can be reached in ‘most things and it would 'seem advisable if the supporters of these freak laws would try to reach it. You can take a horse to water but you cannot force him to drink. When the war was on the people read the daily papers to learn how things were progressing on the ■ Western front. Now the papers the home paper —is read to keep posted on the markets, which Change nearly every day and to acquaint themselves as to the best place to buy, for any merchant who has a bargain will advertise it in the home paper. You cannot afford to be without the home paper. It costs only about one cent a day by mail and you could not begin to gather one item for such a small cost. Renew now. A Topeka newspaper will be deliv ered every day for the next 20 years at the grave of Sam Radges, a Topeka publisher of city directories. Before he died Radges took out a 20year paid subscription to the paper and requested that it be delivered to him at the cemetery. He was buried in a vault that he erected himself i nearly ten years ago in anticipation 'of death. An electric light, which hangs inside the vault, is to burn forever.—Portland, Ore., Oregonian. That man was certainly a booster for his hometown newspaper. If the state highway commission is distributing old army trucks to the (different counties in the state, we believe that Adams county is entitled ■to one, not alone on its glorious war - record, but for the fact that one could be put to good service in this county. Adams county now has over six hundred miles of improved roads which ttye taxpayers have built themselves. One of the array trucks could be put to use in hauling stone this spring and summer for their repair. The new- headquarters of thb Decatur Industrial association will prove a popular place for all those who wish to visit the rooms and become acquainted with the needs and progress of our fair city. The public is invited at all times to attend the
