ADVERTISING—THE
HOGG’S TALES
“Are you fond of Hogg’s
tales'?” asked a lady of an old
farmer, the other evening,
“Yes, I love ’em roasted, with
salt on em,” was the response.
“No: but I mean have you read
Hogg’s tales'?”
“No, indeed,” said he. “Our
hogs are all black and Avhite. I
don’t think there is a red one
among them.”
Boogy and Woogy were driving
along the highway one day when
they came to a grade crossing
with the usual R-R sign: “Stop,
Look and Listen.” Said Boogy:
“Woogy, those three innocent
litle words illustrate the Avhole
scheme of human life.
Woogy queried. How so?
Boogy replied: You see a pretty
girl. You stop. You look—and af-
ter that you marry her and have
to listen all the rest of your days,
walk.
Ruth—Oh, Gill, the baby can
walk.
Gill—Good! Now she can Avalk
the floor by herself at night.

BUILDER
Of recent years it has been the j
fashion among radical reformers
to question the value of advertis-
ing. The question is easily an-
swered. destroyed as obsolete since that
Nothing in the world sells until year- Over 1,146,000 new ears and1
it is known. No successful com-
modity blunders its own way into
a store and Avaits until somebody
by some strange chance blunders
into buving it says Nation’s Busi-
ness. If merchants and factory
managers had not hired salesmen,
and had not lac-ed advertising,
our America would still be AVhat
it Avas in 1740, a handful of poor
villages and penniless farmers,
dotted on the edges of enormous
forests.
National distribution, in its
simplest terms, means that you
can get your favorite foods, bev-
erages, clothes, shoes, cigarettes,
soups, soaps, cosmetics, books,
magazines and all other manufac-
tured articles, wherever in the
country you are. Bringing this
about,’ in a country' 3,000 miles
wide, and once apparently divid-
ed forever by the Rocky moun-
tains, has been no child’s play. It
Avould never have taken place
Without national advertising.
Railroad and steamship lines
and highAvays provided the. means
•pf transport. But Avhat is the use
!of transporting goods from facto-
ry in Delaware to a store in Ore-
gon if the goods are not knoAvn
and therefore, are not bought?
Advertising is the disseminar
tion of news about better and less (
costly goods than people could
make for themselves at home.—
Nation Business.
BEYOND COMPARISON
16,000 locomotives have been put
into service.
Furthermore, a mere compari-
son of the number of cars and
locomotives in use now as against
some past period, does not give an
accurate picture by any means.
For instance, the improvements
made since 1923 have resulted in
increasing the speed of movement
of trains by more than 60 per
cent and increasing by more than
100 per cent the tons handled per
train hour. Capacity of ears has
been increased 16 per cent, on the
average, and locomotive capacity
36 per cent. Car shortage, once a
big problem, have been entirely
eliminated.
In the last year of heavy traf-
fic, 1929, the railroads handled
8,000,000 more carloads of freight
than in the war year of 1918. In
October, 1939, the peak loading
was 55 per cent larger than in
May of the same year. This Avas
the heaviest increase in traffic
that ever occurred in so short a
period of time—yet it was handl-
ed without difficulty or delay.
The railroads', in short, are in
better shape to do the nation’s
main transportation job than ever
i before. They have perfected plans
1 for cooperating with various goA7-
ernment departments to the end"
that service Avill function with
100 per cent efficiency as prepar-
edness demands increase. Those j der full load, is extremely maneu

■" "ARISTOSTYLE”
American aircraft makers and
designers are learning many a les-
son from this Avar. The planes
sent to England have not been sa-
tisfactory—that is, they have not
been comparable in effectiveness
to the first-class British and Ger-
man ships. As one British author-
ity said, the Americans make
first-class flying machines, but
third-class fighting mach ines.
Reason: According to the Eng-
lish, the American planes have
been inadequately armored and
under-gunned, and have to many
complicated controls to distract
the attention of nervous pilots
confronted with the enemy.
The defects, according to offi-
cials, are being corrected in the
neAV ships. There Avill be fewer
blind spots, more armor, more
guns and feAA7er gadgets. Also, per-
formance Avill be materially step-
ped up. Some of the American
planes Avhich have been publicized
as 400-mile-an-hour performers
have, under war loads and Avar
conditions, done little better than
300. It is taking time to iron the
bugs out of our neAver type big
engines.
The British are now replacing
their famous Spitfire pursuit
ships with a neAV type, which is
supposed to exceed 400 miles un-
ilitv to fully meet the country’s
needs.
The efficiency of railroad trans-
portation has increased so great-
ly during the last trvo decades
that there is no real basis for
comparison of the railroads to-
day Avith those of 1918.
Since 1923 alone, some $9,000-
000,000 has been spent for rail-
road improvements, of Avhich 45
per cent has gone for equipment I
and 55' per cent for facilities of j Aunt Irma—When I was a

say that the Germans also have
some neAV types of which great
achievements are expected. Ger- f
man problem is gasoline— Ger-
men planes downed in England
were found to carry gas ofJ50-oc-

fuel to even turn over a modern

Poor light can canse strain to eye muscles, weakening them and thus impairing the
vision. Good light helps eye musc'es to develop normally, and is therefore important
to children of school age, as well as to older folks. Now. with scientific I. E. S.
lamps for the home, and correct designed lighting for schools, eyestrain is being
minimized. It will cost very little to equip your home with I. E. S. Lamps.
Better Light for Better Sight
We use the Sight Meter, an instrument which accurately;
measures the seeing power of light, to check your home for
adequate lighting, Their services are free. Phone today and
ask to have a test made in your home.
