“Syracuse For Me” This paper believes in Syracuse and in Syracuse’s future. It believes that the great majority of people living in Syracuse have an abiding faith in the city’s future. It is this faith that has made Syracuse and it is this same faith that is going to continue to make Syracuse a bigger place. No one need talk of “putting Syracuse on the map. For Syracuse is already on the map; it has had a conspicuous place there for many years. Syracuse is already a great place to live. If one were to look all around the world, none better could be found. For that reason, if you have any money to invest, invest it in Syracuse. It is safrr at home than any place else. Keep out of the dutches of the oily-tongued stock salesman who comes a distance and wants your money to invest in an enterprise the merit of which you know nothing. All he wants is to separate you from your money. Every resident of Syracuse ought to be a booster for Syracuse and * Syracuse enterprises. Build or buy a hcjne—and grow with Syracuse, and «»njoy to the full extent all the benefits of being a home owner m Syracuse. you will make Syracuse as strong as the rock of Gibraltar and as substantial as the pyramids of Egypt.

| WHO PAYS THE RADIO BILL! • Radio owners in Syracuse and vicinity, d‘lighted with the splendid programs received, have often wondered as to the expenses of the broadcasting stations and who pays the bill. No one knows just what this expense amounts to, but it is claimed by those who have some practical experience that it exceeds that of the movies. One c v ain of stations and its advertising clients will sppnd more than two millions of dollars this year on entertainment alone. Any toll broadcaster who uses the net work an hour a week for 52 u’etks wdl spend $260,000 a year. In some cases a jazz orchestra is paid $1,500 an hour for one hour a week for twenty weeks Other top-notch entertainers receive from SI,OOO to S2.(XO for a single appearance on the air What some of the great stars receive is a matter of conjecture, but it is generally-mure per hour than the divine Earnhardt was ever paid for a full week. It is claimed that the peerage pregram costs from $5,000 to $7,000 per day. Radio entertainmentxis becoming more and more allied with the concert and theatrical fie'ds. It is claimed that no fewer than 1.30 concert managers have b°en forced out of business and that the concert business has lost more than 22 millions through radio invasion. The controlling force and purpose back of this broadcasting expense is advertising, and the various stations seem to believe it is worth while. On the other hand it is becoming evident that as artists and entertainers become better known their salaries increase to such an extent that it may overbalance the benefits. o— — R ASM USSEN-PHEBUS Mr. and Mrs. Neal Phebus of Sylvania, Ohio, have announced the marriage of their daughter, Cleo.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. Who Is A Friend J Who is a friend? I will tell you. He is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. Your soul can go naked with him. He seems to ask of you to put on nothing, only to be what you are. He d<4?s not want you to be better or worse. Wljien you are wit'i him ynu feel as a prisoner feels who has been decland innoernt. You do not ha'/e to b? on your guard. You efin say what you think, so long it as is genuinely you. He understands those contradictions in jpur nature that lead others to misjudge you. With h>n you breathe free. You c«n avow your little vanities and envies am! hates and vicious sparks, your meanness and absurdities, and in opening them up to him they are lost, dissolved on the white ocean off his loyalty. He understands. You do not havle to be careful. You can abuse him, neglect him, tolerate him. Best of all you can keep still with him. It makes no matter. He likes you. He is like fire that purges all you do. He is like water that cleanses all that you say. He is like wine that warns you to the bone. He understand? you. You can ween with him, laugh with him, pray with him. Through and underneath it all he rees. knows, and loves you. A friend. I repeat is oije with whom you dare to be yourself and whom you can trusty Perfectly Obvious A Syracuse youngster was scrubbing the front porch of his hnie when a visitor called. “Is your mother in?” asked the visitor. “Do you think I’d be scrubbing the porch if she wasn’t?" replied the boy. Sure, times have changed, but ;riris have always stood a lot of endurance. Time was when the healthy country lass would pitch hay with the rest of the hands or help in 'Ulf? harvest field. Our 1927 girls can throw a wicked basket ball, jump into aj tin lizzie, go to a party and dance until morning. We’ll say gipls can stand a lot of punishment. Notwithstanding our educational system the great trouble with the young people of today seefms to be that they do not know vrhat they are good; so what they are bad for. Credit unquestionably encourages a taste for finer and better things—but it also encourages an extravagance that sooner or later leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. I Waterproof is the name of a town inundated by the Mississippi. This proves conclusively that there’s nothing in a name. The Journal is the loud speaker for Syracuse and vicinity. Use our advertising columns regularly and your business will grow. Because so many people are utterly aimless makes it easier for the determined man to get ahead. Ambition is necessary to any progress but to be worth anything it must be pretty definite. Tomorrow is the day that the things you didn’t put off today ~ will begin to sprout.
