New York WHAT ADVERTISING DOES: When pessimistic persons ask, as they sometimes do. what permanent good advertising does and charge that one of its results is to create wants that cause a needless waste of money, they are all wrong, according to Frank i'resbrey, who is an experienced business man regarded as an authotily oa mdern advertising. On ibe contrary, he regards the phenomena of the present system of publicity as promoting growth and prosperity and undertakes to prove his theory, in the World’s Work h e presents the system, not as a great educational force, whiate it is, but as a creator of national discontent. ‘‘Not that sort of discontent which makes men desirous of tearing down, but our typical American characteristic—that divine discontent which drove our forefathers westward tu search of broader fields to till, which has led a back woodsman from a log cabin to the White House, that desire for better things that led a station boy. by fueans of a telegrapher s office, to the presidency of one of America s greatest railroads the discontent which makes mea want more, and so makes them work more to get what they want.” The masses of our people are not satisfied with inferior modes of living Advertising has raised their slaadatds They hav e worked to get what they want and their ever increasing wants have created and increased consumption of goods which is the basis of all prosperity. Num erous illustrations are cited. Perhaps four fifths of the olier generation were born in houses without bathrooms. Thea ante tin bathtubs and insanitary plumbing; (hen advertisements showing th,, superiority of inc a11.',. lub.- o'mi unlay ■ • '.--1 j would even put up a little house without white bathtubs. It is the same with the oft repeated injunc tlbn, "Own your own home.' ‘'Don't write, use the telephone.” "Get youi family an automobile.” “Enjoy good music, buy a radio.” and so on. Advertising campaigns, it is asserted. have done more to change the habits of the nation in ways of sanitation and cleanliness than the speeches ot all the uplifters who have uplifted their voices in the past fifty years. Constant repetition of the ad vantages of this, that and the other have its influence. The public become educated each year and its taste and judgment have raised the standards ot many articles in domestic and personal use. Competition in advertising helps to raise the standards of art as applied to mechanics and purchasers learn to seek the best. Just as the intelligent use of advertising in America has made the world see that high wages and the desire to possess more are not incompatible with great national prosperity, so it has also shown that seasonal unemployment with Ps untold miseries is not an inevitable trick of a malevolent fate, like a tornado or an earthquake. but a preventable waste which is gradually being eliminated. Mr. Presbrey says': "So that he may have money to buy the things he has been made to \.<>ut by advertising the worker increases his efficiency and by that increases output, so that the employer 1: enabled to pay good wages for iu ci-ated production. This cireie. in stead of being vicious, is a circle which stretches contiiyially to the benefit ot all, for the permanent prosperity of the whole nation We have discovered that prosperity becomes peimdSent, in direct proportion to ho”- n fdely it is shared.” It uould be hard to find an intelligent pet son who would be willing to «.

Recently Decatur has obtained. more or less favorable mention in outside papers anti the advantages offered by our fine city have beenstressed not a little. Every local booster for this community knows that it is about as fine a place as a person can find and naturally we are proud that others should take notice of us.

I Express Company To Make Storage Charge j Charges will hereafter be assessed for storing of express shipments not accepted when tendered for delivery or uncalled for after due notice has boon sent to the consignee, according to B. H. Elzey, agent of the American: Railway Express company here. | Thus, a system similar to that, affecting freight and baggage jthiP-j menu has been put into effect in the expt ess service at the cities and in the districts where free delivery ser-| vice is provided. This has been made necessary by the growing problems of the carriers in caring for an increasing quantity of shipments, which they have uot been able to deliver, for teasons for which they were in no wise responsible. Some of these are business differences between shippers and con- ( signees or the forwarding of goods I without provision for their acceptance Upon delivery. In the interim, .the carrieryhave been forced to maintain a costly and elaborate system of storing and recording such business? I Three days' "free time" is allowed, •after which a storage charge is assessed at the rate of 10 cents for the first day. five cents for each of the next eight days, with a maximum of 50 cents ,u month for each shipment weighing 100 pounds or less nd a icgular monthly charge thereafter 'of 50 cetils per month or fraction thereof. Shipments forwarded “C.O. D." are allowed five days "free tiriTe.". ; On shipments weighing over 100 pounds the storage charge is proportionate; that is, any fractional part ’of 100 pounds is computed as 100, pounds, thus, shipments over 100 pounds and not over 200 pounds are assessed storage at twice the rate ofj I the shipments under the 100 pound • limit. i The carrier, however, is required to give proper notice of the unsuccessful attempt at delivery and the charges are figured after the expiration of the ftee time from the first 7 am. following the sending of such 1 . notice. The charge does not apply , Ito shipments to addresses beyond the ( free - delivery limits of the express company. • Before becoming effective, the sys-. tffm was submitted for consideration | to the shipping public, including organizations of shippers and practicahj ly no objection was entered against putting it into effect. o —— Madams Homer at Winona The Chatauqua season of 1926 at Winona reaches its climax on August 11th. LOUISE HOMER day. Th-> , splendid talent engaged by the pro- ' gram Director and his committee has been well received. Following the cits-' tom of other years Winona offers this] season three special artists, of which I Madame Louise Homer is the last.

CHAPTER IV—Perceptibly agitated by the arrival of a man in the restaurant, she mutters that he has "found her.” Learning that she is unmarried and the man has no claim gn her, Laurie, incensed, accosts the stranger. I CHAPTER V.—Accusing the man of annoying Miss Mayo, Devon warns | him to end his ssplonage. The o’rangI er le politely > sarcastic, but from him Laurie learns the girl'e first name is Doris. She tells him her persecutor Is Herbert Ransoms Shaw. “if Cwere calling him back from anything but his honeymoon,” she said at last, “I’d do it. But he's utterly happy. His letters show that, in every ' line. I want him to stay so, as long ns he can. I want his honeymoon to ibe long drawn out and perfect." Her ' manner ehanged. ”1 have an idea that perhaps, after i all, DI be here when lie gets back,” she added more lightly. “Life still | has Its Interests. But, If I happen not to be here, tell him why I didn't cable. ” M "I will tell him," Sonya promised. Neither of them referred to the subject again. I CHAPTER IX An Invitation That evening Laurie walked across the square to Doris' studio with a decision in his stride which definitely expressed his mental attitude. He had come to the conclusion that something must be done. What this something would be was still hazy In his mind, but the first step nt least seemed clear. Ports must move. | H<- was so convinced of the i:rgencv l.c tip the [ subject almost before the greetings of guest and hostess were over. Tossing his hat and coat on a convenient I chair, he stood facing Doris, his hands In his pockets, bis black eyes somber. "We’ve got to get out of this, you know," he abruptly announced. Her eye*, which had brightened at hts entrance, grew as somber as his own. Without replying, she turned, walked across the room to the window. and stood looking down Into the street. “is he there?" she asked at last, and without moving her head. "Shaw? Great Scott, no! At least I didn’t see him. I suppose be takes ' a few hourj-off now and then, during the twenty-four; doesn't he?" | “Oh, yes, he comes and goes, sometimes secretly, sometimes openly. I , did «ot zee him at all today until late ( this afternoon. Then he took up his I pest across the street just opposite this window, and stood there tor almost an hour.” Laurie ground his teeth. “What does he expjFt to gain by that performance?” “Several things, I suppose. For one, he waits te get on asy nerves; and he does," she added somberly, I and still without turning. Leurte made a vague teur around the room amj breught up by her side. “You know,” he confessed, “I haven’t really taken thiq itijng in yet. Even now, this minute, it doesn’t seem possible to me that Shaw could <J» you any real harm.’’ She nodded. "I knew. Why should it? Even te me it is like a uightiqare end I keep hoping te wake up. There are hours, eveu days, when I convince myself that It isn’t real.” She Stopped. “It must be very hard for ajj.v one else te underptend," she ended, when he did net speak. “Nevertheless," admitted Laurie, "I can't forget it. I can’t think of anythimK clwu" She teek thia u naturally as had taken bls first remark "It's going to be very hard for yetj. I was wrong tp draw y«mj Into it. I am realizing that more and mere, every ®!««te.” ‘Tmj eeuldn’t help yoqraeif,” he ckeerSally resided her. "Kw tljat I am ih It, as Lve waned yeu before, run thing* Jd lt_*eemi« to

"If I moved, how long do you thlak It would take him to find meF "Weeks, perhaps months.” Again she shook her head. ”1 moved here a few day* age n*; appeared exactly forty-eight hours, later, if I moved from here It would only mean going through the game of hare and hounds again ' "But —“ he began. She interrupted him. I "I’ve readied the point where I can t endnre that any more." For the first i time her voice broke. “Gant you lin- I agtne what that sort of thing would be? To get up in the morning and wonder If this Is the day I'll him under my window? To 8° at night and ask myself If he is lurklug in the shadows below, or across the street, or perhaps outalde my - very door? To know that sooner or later he will be there, that hie coming is as inevitable as death Itself ” She broke off. "I sometimes think I'd rather see a bog constrictor crawling Into my room than see Shaw down on the sidewalk, she ended. "And yet—l know you can understand this —there's a queer kind of relief In the knowledge that at last, and finally, he has got me." She whirled to face Laurie and threw out her hands. There was nothing theatrical In the gesture, merely’ an effort of entire finality. "We have, come to the end of things,” she' flnisbed. “Since you would not have them end my way. they must end bls way. Whatever happens, I shall not run and hide any more.” For a moment silence bung like a substance between them. Then the visitor resolutely shook off the effect of her words. “I promise you I will get to the bottom of this," he quietly told her. "In the meantime, will yon try to forget It. for a little while? You know you said you could do that, occasionally." He was clearing the table as he, spoke. Now he proceeded to unpack a basket he had sent over an hour before by Griggs, and which, he observed. had not been opened. Dropping back into her big chair, she watched him with a- odd look. If he had seen this look it would have sorely pyzzlecl him, for it held not only Interest but an element of apprghenS'- it. e- , of k . “In the past two days." she said, after an interval, “you have sent me five baskets of food, four baskets of fruit, six boxes of candy, and three boxes of flowerg. What do you suppose becomes of them all?” “I know what becomes of the flowers." He cast an appreciative glance around the transformed room. "And I hope," he mildly added, “that you eat the food ” She broke into her rare laugh, soft, deep-throated, and contagious. ttnder It his spirits rose dizzyingly. “You are feeding half the people In thia building,” she said, "not to mention Sam and his home circle Sam has absorbed roast chickt.p, cold partridge, quail, ead sweetbreads till he is getting critical. He asked mp thia morning if I shouldn't like ham and eggs for a change”' Laurie feit slightly aggrieved. “Do you mean to say that you’re not eating aay of the stuff yeuraelf?" he demanded. ___ ITO BE CONTINUED) —- ■ o- — Get the Habit-r Trade At Home, It Pay*

Size and “Soul” “The ‘big business’corporations of this country never made a better move than when they concluded to make it easy for their employes to become part owners in the business in which they are employed. Among such corporations ,tIW ... COLSpic • ‘ There is hardly an informed man in business of any kind who does not wish it were within his power to do as much for his employes as the standard Oil Company of Indiana has done and is doing for its employes.” These paragraphs are quoted from an editorial appearing in the Atlantic News Telegraph of Atlantic, lowa, June 8,1926. They indicate the trend of public opinion in regard to “big business” in genera!, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in particular. The old feeling that large corporations are necessarily “soulless” because of their size has practically disappeared. Greater information results in a better understanding, and this has been true, particularly in the case of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). A number of years ago this Company adopted the policy of openly and frankly discussing its problems, and publishing facts concerning its work and its organization. Open and straightforward statements of how the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) carries on its vast business, have brought about a truer public understanding of its work, a greater appreciation of the benefits of its operation, and a realization of the true significance of its great size. It is not “soulless” because it is big. Rather, because it is big, in every sense of the word, it has soul. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is big not alone in numbers, in wealth of resources, in the extent of its activities. These are but the outward signs of its deep inner bigness of purpose and principle, of its high ideals and far-reaching vision. . The attitude of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) towards its employes, praised in the editorial aoove, is but one expression of the broad working principles of the Company. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a big business. It does things in a big way. Yet its achievement is big only in proportion io the bigness of the purpose that inspires it, and the big ness of the service it renders to the thirty million people of ten Middle West states.
