ADVERTISING
Advertising and not competition
is now the life of trade, according
to the advertising experts who me’
to attend the International Adver-
tising Association convention. The
delegates at this meeting heard a
number of interesting things.
Among these was the statement
by Charles Stelzle, New York ex-
pert, to the effect that if churches
do not advertise their ‘‘ware”’—
spiritual upbuilding and moral
betterment for both the individual
and humanity—they cannot hope
to arouse interest among the mass-
es and fulfill the obligations plac-
ed upon them as parties to the
general spiritual movement.
Another speaker declared that
“advertising is greater than any
single moral force we know of to-
day. Advertising brings about
changes for the betterment of life
itself, changes which fuse into the
social and political life of the na-
fon.”

It is now generally admitted by 3
economic forces everywhere that 3
advertising is the most important 3
development of modern business. x
And it is also coming to be realiz- 2
ed that newspaper advertising is 2
the best kind of paid publicity. In
the convention just mentioned the 8
delegates who were advertising ex- 3
perts, agreed that newspaper ad- x
vertising affords the best publicity x

church activities. x

STATE REWARD PLAN
APPROVED BY SUPERVISORS

local units which still have three
fourths of the dirt roads to contend
with continue as before under the
township reward plan,” was the con-
sensus of opinion.
The purpose of the ‘special session,
as explained by Samuel L. Sheaffer,
president, and John F. Weaver,
retary, was to learn the sentiment of
the Association House bill 1351
now pending before the State Sen-.
ate. Action on the measure was be-
ing delayed until some indication of
where the funds were coming from
was known, it was said, and hence
Lewis.
Before pledging any township
funds to aid the 20,000 mile program,
the supervisors declared they want to
how the money will be spent
and what the construction costs will
be per mile (thus far the depart-
ment refuses to give an estimate)
and also whether local labor and
materials will be used. “There never
was a time when this money should
be spent in local districts as now,
but when the State builds, the
money too often in the past went to
contractors and labors from out of
President Sheaffer said.
Another objection cited was that the
taking over many highways
built with township reward funds,
would have local districts with the
poorer roads and no funds to im-
Sec~-
on
| prove them. Just how far townships
are obligated after offering to aid is
still a question, as “only a lawyer
could understand the agreement,” it
was declared.
Secretary Weaver -said: “While I
think it is all right for the State to
| take over our main arteries of travel,
'I know that in the past supervisors
| have built ordinary macadam roads
| for less than three fourths of what
"it cost the State and some of these
roads, built 20 years
Lampeter township are as good as
ever. Whether we should coop-
erate as suggested with the 20,000
mile program, is a matter for the
individual township to decide.
“The 20,000 miles of roads will not
be finished for ten years and it is
up to the supervisors in the mean-
time to continue under the reward
system to get the farmer out of the
mud. We were just going good un-
der this plan when the new program
was foisted upon us,” he said.
That the present township state
reward law, with an adequate appro-
priation to carry out
has been of the “greatest help to the
supervisors of the state, enabling
them to build over 7,000 miles of im-
proved roads during the past ten
ago in West
years,” was asserted in the resolution.
Since the highway department, in
taking over the proposed 20,000
miles of township roads, have in-
cluded the greater part of these
7,000 miles, leaving the supervisors
with over 50,000 miles of unimproved
roads to take care of, the association
resolved:
“That we go on record as asking
for and favoring an appropriation by
this Legislature 4of at least an
amount equal to that appropriated
two years ago ($6,000,000). By so |
| doing, the supervisors can work side
| by side with the highway department
| tees of the
in “getting the farmer out of the
mud.”
Copies of the resolution were ord-
ered sent to the Lancaster Newspap-
ers, Governor Pinchot, Samuel S.
Lewis, Secretary of the Highways, and
chairman of the good roads commit-
house and Senate, and
local assemblymen at Harrisburg.

He said: “Everything I can lay

A Dirty Dig
A woman entered the movies in

seated before they began making
remarks about her. Her last year’s
hat and cloak were criticized with
more cor less g'ggling on the bride's
part, and there is no telling what

an had not put a stop to the con-
