WHY ADVERTISING PAYS— There was probably a time in the history ot newspapers when advertising was little considered and even a period when the buying ot space in a newspaper meant that tile purchaser could say practically anything he cared to. regardless of faets, as long as no libel suit was involved. I hings have very much changed s.nce the periods referred to. Advertising is a distinct and very important feature of practically all publications News pa|>ers now esablish a standard of advertising and strictly adhering to the pi inc.pies set forth, gain friends and importance through their advertising columns as well as in other departments. Advertising having become a legitimate and well thought of feature of the newspaper it has become understood by the public and intelligent reading of the advertising pages is a part of the duty of housekeeper and business man. Admiting that the news, sports, society and editor al pag's are given first attention, it is acknowledged without reserve that the well placed aud attractively arranged advertise incuts get plenty of attention more than that, in reputable publicaions the advertisements are taken at face value, and become a paying investment for the advert iser. When an advertisement is found in a reputable newspaper, the reader has a light to assume that it is an honest advertisement. There was a time when dishonest advertising was used — just so the advertiser paid the bill, the newspaper accepted it. That day, however, has fortunaely passed, and now no good newspaper will print dishonest advertising if by diligent and reasonable methods it can ascertain that there is doubt as to any statement made. While lessons have been learned by the newspaper.-;, the advertisers themselvos have realized that exaggerated claims and untrue statements have proven hurtful far more to themselves Ilian to those who have been defrauded. No merchant can advertise dishonestly and remain in business in any place for long. And so 'the advertisement in the papers has become real news,of valu to the read-r.-i, th subscriber expecting to get honest assistance and profit from them. > There i s established between the readers and the newspaper an entente Tordial nowadays that insures the people a square deal and encourages them to rely upon statements made, in any part of the sheet. Advertising now pays well and it is because it can be depended upon as reliable. The work of organizing a Gene Stratton-Porter Memorial Asociation which will have for its purpose the building of a model highway between Limberlost cottage at. Geneva aud Limberlost cottage on Sylvan lake, near Rome City was actively begun yesterday. At. the preliminary meeting held in the law offices of Martin Luecke, Mr. French Quinn of this city, was unanimously elected temporary chairman. A meeting will be held next Wednesday afternoon at which representatives from each town along the proposed route will be present and when it is hoped to effect a permanent organization. Mr. Quinn is the originator of tin. idea, an enthusiast on good roads, nature, study and an intimate friend of the Porters—the right man to lead the campaign Io a sue cessful end. Mr- Luecke is one of the ■ leading road boosters iu northeastern

The Elliott bill, carrying an appropriation of $125,000 for a federal building m Decatur was approved yesterday by the public buildings committee in congress with indications that it I will in due time become a law. The bill, however, only recommends the amount and the exact allocation is to be made by the secretary ot the treasury, so that to get Ihe amount required or desired here will probably require some further effort on the part ot local men. We should continue our efforts until the matter has beeu satisfactorily settled. ————— * Startling as it may seem, the Morrison hotel in Chicago, may be locked hy federal authorities because of violations of the liquor laws. It is not an entirely new thing for several large hotels in Now York City have been thus padlocked but it is nevertheless annoying to the management of the famous ten million dollar inn and of course will not be done except after a stiff legal battle. The two weeks of special church ervices will close tomorrow evening, unles other announcements arc made. The meetings have been well attended Aud the interest has been excellent and wp believe succssful in causing many pople to stop, listen and think of what they are doing and where they are going Dr. King has been placed on probation, an embarrassment and a club.tp be held over him unless he dunces to the music, it's a new idea in government and if it works, might be used to advantage on a number of the state officials. Get your radio tuned up so you can turn in next week on the international program, when you will be given an opportunity to hear fjondon, Berlin, Paris, Mexico City and a number of fore'gn stations. This may or may not be the w armest January on iccord in Indiana but it's certainly a very decent one for those people who have not got an over supply of fuel in the bins.
