* Well, any way Mr. Vestal knows «• he has been in a scrap we venture . and he won’t care for any more contests like this one. -MSfc 4 There is one thing certain about j ~ congress and that is that two-third ' votes to overturn vetoes will be ' just about out of the question. We congratulate Ed Bosse, the young chairman of the democratic party in Adams county. It was a big ,"ob to tackle and required much ' of his time. The results in this I county is the best evidence that he di<* a good job. President Hoover has issued his ' Thanksgiving Day proclamation and says we have much to be thankful for. Perhaps he wrote that before he heard the election returns which almost if not entirely repudiated his first two years of admuiistration. _ Sturgis folks like radio and they don't propose to have their programs all shot to pieces by unnecessary static. The council there has passed an ordinance providing a fifty dollar fine and thirty days in jail for any son-of-a-gun who makes “reasonably preventable radio interference.'’ Prices on the New York stock exchange continue to drop, the low-s in most instances being considerably under that of a year ago when it was generally supposed the bottom had been reached. Those who | bought then expecting to make easy money are still wondering if there is a Santa Claus and when he is coming to see them. Wai Wemhoff will serve as chairman of the Red Cross in this county during the membership drive which opens Armistice Day, November 11th. He will be assisted here by members of the Lion's and Rctary clubs. The annual dues are only one dollar and every one i who can spare that amount should see that their name is enrolled. We have a tip on a canning factory and efforts are being made to

induce the owners to locate u branch here. If the company Is not intereated we believe some other will be and that we should keep right ou until we get this added industry which will not only em- ’ ploy labor but will provide a marl ket during the summer for tom- . utoes, pickles and other vegetables. j The only fellow around the state house who is not showing grief hell cause of the success of the demo- * erats is Governor Leslie who evlI dti.tly thinks he can get along bet•Ur witli the opponents than he has I I 11 been able to do with those of his I 'own party. Its an open secret down that way that the governor hasn't been drinking out of the same loving cup witli the rtst of the offic- ! lais. We don’t know for sure whether Vestal or Ball was elected to congress, so often have the returns switched back and forth but we would guess that the strain has been rather severe for both and , the worst of it is that it will probably continue for months before a ; final settlement is made. If Mr. ■Ball lias to wait for congress to de- | cide and if Mr. Vestal is held out jof office awaiting answer from ■ that body until they agree upon a j verdict, they might as well both go to work and await the 1932 election results. The county board of commission- | ers will purchase snow plows to tie used if necessary during the coming winter. That’s a progressive step and one that will meet the ap- ; proval of every one who has to use the highways. They certainly would have been great last winter if we could have had them. The county is gradually securing some fine highway equipment and as in | most counties ft will soon be necessary to secure a building in which this can be housed, taken care of repaired and thus saved. The board has been considering such a proposition but so far have not definitely decided upon plans. We believe it would be wise Wo do so for a great loss occurs when machinery is not protected from the weather. The enormous sum of 3800,000 will be paid to beet growers by the Holland-St. Louis Sugar Company, one week frem today. That’s a rather handsome distribution of funds and ought to help conditions here about for some time to come land there will be another payroll later. Much of this will be paid to Adams county growers and most of it in the territory within a comparatively small area. It will prove beneficial in a dozen near-by counties as well as here and should demonstrate the advantages of such an industry. In addition there is the employes payroll, the freight increase, the many other items of overhead, all of which help this community. We are hoping and most sincerely that the company .’’ows a profit this year which will ". courage them to make next year bigger than ever and will induce every farmer in this county to sign a contract for acreage. * Twenty years ; AGO TODAY | From the Daily Democrat File 1 ♦ • | November 8, 1910 — Erie depot robbed cf $14.31.

Sure Cure For Depression Is Advertising, Says Babson

New York. Nov. B—Roger W. Babson has settled upon a remedy for tho present business depression. His prescription is a sure cure, he says. Diagnosing the reason for the crash as over-production, he points out that tills condition will be corrected as son as mass consump’lon can be stimulated to catch up with mass production. The necessary stimulant —the Infallible cure, he says, is Advertising, on a larger scale that the world has ever known. "This is the way out from tlw present situation," he asserts in Collier’s today. "It is our hope of making mass production our economic salvation instead of the dynamite that may wreck the world. “As one who has studied business depression in life rather than in libraries, I see in current conditions the call for advertising. There's uothng wrong with the patient hut poor circulation. Money is being held instead of circulated. "Advertising is ideally fitted and competent to accelerate the circulation. It is the most effective known force for accomplishing the speeding up of money and thereby giving us more business at times when more business is the nation's greatest need. "There never was more money than there is today. Banks hold it, corporations hold it, the people hold it. That is tne trouble, the money is held instead of circulated. A beautiful system of piping, a plentiful supply of fluid, but the whole mechanism fails to function for want of the pumping power of publicity to tell the world of better goods, lower prices and greater service. We need a sound plan to reduce th# choppy action of business and promote smoothness and steadiness of growth. "Advertising is this sorely needed governor of business. It requires no novel mechanism. All the apparatus is available. Though capable of illimitable improvement, the fundamental principles of advertising are clearly established; its practice is a well-known art. "The basic cause at which the jobless should shake their fists is not that too few mills are running, but that too few advertising campaigns are running. "One purposed plan for reforming bad times is to increase public works. That policy is wise. The

need however, is not merely for works but for workers. and the way to make people work is to arouse wholesome desires through worthy advertising. “Another proposal is to slash I prices to make a national bargain | day. Advertising, however, shoul.l i make every day a bargain day, through quantity prices resulting from tiie merger of mass production and mass consumption. “Mass production of goods require mass production of customers, and that is possible oniy through advertising. To some people the apparent' simplicity of this solution will be a disappointment. It m,«y be disheartening to hear that the best which can be proposed is nothing more than our familiar old friends, honest goods at fair prices and advertising. “Mr. Watt, however, when he set: in motion the industrial revolution, did it by studying a force more commonplace than advertising — the steam Horn his mother's kettle. Similarly our own times can de- ' veiop the latent power of advertis- j ing into a prime mover in econo-1 mica. In the light of what it mikht accomplish, advertising power today is hat steam power was tn j 1770. “Mere money is not the cause of the wave-like heaving of ‘he chart-; ed course of business over a long stretch of time. a power in business, the vital thing about money is not its amount but its rapidity of circulation. Theoretically a million-dollar business might be transacted by a single dollar bill 1 if it changed hands with sufficient rapidity. Just as we refer to the I speed of an engine by saying that it makes so many revolutions per I minute, w ecan describe 'he rapidity | of circulation of money by saying : that it turns ovet twelve times a j year. “When that rapidity is increased and money circulates faster, bust-j ness picks up and becomes better. ! as the circulation of money slows I down, business falls off. Some sup-1 erhuman hand on the throttle speed- j ing up or cutting down circulation, could make or unmake prosperity. Why cry for a superhuman hand, when we have it already available in advertising? “By advertising I do not refer to cheerio copy proclaiming a non- existent prosperity, but advertising i io sell existing products.

of adventure SILHOUETTE of a horseman against a desert sky ... a swaying figure on a storm-swept deck . . . how enjoyable but how little related to your own everyday life are the stories of adventure that you read. But there are adventure stories of another kind that you come upon every day. Adventures with a thrill and excitement of their own —adventures that you can share. You find them in the advertisements in your daily newspaper. The advertisements tell you of new experiences that can be made a part of your life. They tell you how it feels to skim along the road in a smoothly powered, new car. To turn a switch on a new radio and command the harmonies of a superb orchestra. To board a limited train and go whirling across the country on a new kind of vacation. The advertisements do not stop with telling you about these things. They tell you exactly how you can make them your own—most economically and with the greatest assurance-of satisfaction. Read the advertisements. Share the adventures in pleasure and satisfaction they offer you! '• 11 Consult the advertising with confidence Decatur Daily Democrat

nees man can best promote national welfare by liuildniK up the bus! ness he knows best—his own. "Not from any high-flown altruism but with their own skins at stake the public ought to give their most effective support to advertising, by patronage of the best advertisers. For advertising pays only a , it pays the public. A consuming public that would not back up a program along these lines would be devoid both of social responsibility and intelligent self-interest. It has not been my experience that the American consumer is deficient on either score. “Os course the country will eventually revive, as it has in the past.
