NEWSPAPER •‘PULLING POWER" One of the things the depression years seem to have taught Amer lean business men is that the newspaper advertisement is the surest and most effective means of reach fng the consuming public. Figures just made public by the bureau of advertising of the American Newspaper Publishers’ association show that newspapers received fifty-nine per cent of the total advertising appropriations of' 132 national advertisers in 1932 and constituted the preferred advertising medium of nineteen of tlie principal trade groups in the I United States. Newspapers, for example, got eighty-two per cent of the automobile advertisements, seventyfour per cent of the gasoline ads. ninety-two per cent of the railroads’ ads and eighty-seven per cent of the shoe and clothing advertisements. Tlie figures are a remarkable 1 tribute to the “pulling power" of Hie newspaper advertisement. — Huntington Herald Press. Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt has signed a contract to edit a page in a monthly magazine, under the title of “I want you to write to me.” In h'-r first article she gives space to the following thought: "To illustrate the changing nature of our problems it is interesting to remember that less than twenty years ago the outstanding pioblem of the American homemaker was food conservation, or how to supply proper nourishment for her family with one hand while helping to feed an army with the .-■other! Ten years ago the same mothers were facing the problem .of post-war extravagance and reck“lessness: how to control the lux minus tastes of their ildren, the craving for gayety. pleasure, speed which always follows a great war. - Today in millions of homes parents are wrestling with the probit m of providing the necessities of life for their children and honest work for the boys and girls who are leaving school. At almost stated intervals the pendulum swings, and so fir the American people have each time solved their problems. And solve them we will again, but not without earnest consultation and reasoning together.” Col. A. B. Crampton, grand old man of Indiana, soldier and newspaper editor is dead. As a boy he started to work in a printing of-

fice and after the war, In IR7B, he became owner of the Delphi Citizen, which paper he edited and pub--1 lished for many years. The late i, President Wilson named him governor of the National Military home at Marion, which post he held for several years and served with great credit. He was a splen--1 did citizen, a patriot and a veteran, not only of the Civil war, but of •’ tile newspaper business. He will ( * be missed in those circles where > for so many years he was a familiar ■ and leading figure. > 1 Sum. tor Art Robinson writes an interesting account of his trip to Alaska, telling of the sublime scenery, abundant wild life and thriving industry in many of the towns and villages. He enjoyed a several hundred mile railroad trip and plane Hight over the territory and was impressed with the wonders of tlie country. To the average man Alaska holds romance, but since we can't all be United States senators many will have to forgo i a visit to the land of the midnight sun. majestic mountains and rippling streams. Automobile advertising is picking up again, one of the surest signs that manufacturers are selling cars and that tlie public is in the buying mood. The newspaper ads have a new and brighter tone i and big business is quick to realize ' the advantage of getting their sales I message into the hands of those who do tlie buying. Things are on the pick-up in so . many places that “Come Back Days,” after harvest sales and shopper's market days are being spon- , sored in a number of cities. Even Chicago went a little old fashioned and put on a city wide dollar day. What we think is most important today is forgotten a month i from today. Will Rogers, stated in a paragraph the other day. Human nature is that way. we re all excited ovef this and that and then interest gradually lags and something else takes its places.

A manager of a New York employment agency is authority for the statement that men, commonly called hoboes, make fine workers. To back his statement, lie says he employed 133,000 last year. They must have called it a Century of Progress because if you got there you could figure that you had to progress one way or the other. Banker Harriman and Col. Raymond Robin should form a team if they want to play hide and seek and keep away from the public ; eye. And what's become of Robin?
