ADVERTISING: — The advertising of American bus! i Hess in* American monthlies and weeklies amounts to about $150,000,000 a year, and newspaper advertis- I ing to about $650,000,000 a year. ' $800,000,000 in all. which is about as I high as the bill for America's chew- 1 ing gum, or lip sticks, rouge and ’ powder. 1 George W. Hinman asks whether this is worth the money. And he answers his question in I the affirmative. For he says that the value of what the United States produces amounts < to about $40,000,000,000. and this advertising bill of $800,000,000 is there- 1 fore only about 2 per cent of the total * amount of goods produced. Advertis- t ing is an important and essential ele- j ment in distribution. It is more than , that; it is the self-expression of busi- r ness enterprise, and keeps it whole- , some. , Russia tried the abandonment of j advertsing and found that advertis- , ing and business both departed to- ( gether.

said he had been searching for a I house in. .Decatur for a mouth and ' guessed he would have to give it up. I How can we grow with that condi-, tion? Stop and think where it puts ! us. There is no use to talk about, getting new industries because the first question usually asked is how about housing conditions’ If Deqatur is to move forward next year we [ will have to have some houses or flats, places for people to live.

Advice given by Walter S. Chambers. democratic state chairman, to democratic members of the legislaI cure would apply equally well to all lawmakers, regardless of party affiliai tion. He urged the democratic minority to investigate all proposed laws! carefully and not to blindly oppose a bill because it was supported by the opposition. Failure to study proposed legislation and unreasoning support or opposition to bills on strictly I party lines have been the cause of more bad legislation in the United •[ States than all other causes combined. It is to be hoped that at the next session of the legislature its mem bers will make a study of the bills which come before them and then act according to their judgment as to what is best for the state as a whole | if they do this, a great deal of the general distrust of law-making bodies 1 will be done away with, in Indiana at' least.—lndianapolis Times. _____________ The campaign for membership to 1 the Good Fellow club will close | Thursday evening and the final re- 1 port of contributions will be publish- ' cd Friday. Surely you are not going to let this opportunity to help make ' a happy Christmas for the kiddies of , the community slip by without doing 1 your bit. Think of the poor-lad who j needs a pair of shoes or girl who needs a sweater or some article I which will keep her warm during the | winter. Already the ladies in charge have the name* of 125 chldren who need attention if they are to have a 1 Christmas. They hope to secure $250 i and could use twice that. Don’t.■ think that Christmas is a day for you |; just to enjoy with your family. it ! also should mean an opportunity to j serve others. Join the Good Fellows.

You still have time to shop early—la the morning—and that helps some, if you make up your list and get started tomorrow morning you will have the advantage of those who wait until afternoon and a much better opportunity.
