LETTING THE WORLD KNOW Newspaper advertising is in accurate barometer f the erc-ssiv* ness and enterprise > :' t! c mr.-.ur ?iy. i riia-rj)r!?e x xr.e mcivaux merchant may also he measured b the extensiveness and quality of hi newspaper advertising. The pro; perity of the community depends up on the prosperity of its business an the r: osperity of any business d? pends in a great pa J up :i adverting. Merchants long ago learned th wisdom of inviting the buying publi into their store-:. From the met chants' experience with stranger* communities have learned the va'u of inviting strangers to visit them Through advertising the merchan and communities have succeeded ii attracting buyers and visitors. To succeed in business one mus have more than just something t sell. He must let the buying publii know what he has for sale. Hen again the community has learnet something from the merchant wh< invites new citizens by apprising them of what he has to offer them. But from the community the mer chant has learned one of the secret: of advertising. The city or towr seeking to expand its business an< increase its population does not con fine itself to praising one of it? many civic achievements or institu tions. It advertises them all. Sc the business man knows that. whil< his small ad in the newspaper wil! be read and bring him its fafr share of ne*v business, the iarge display advertisement will bring him m T-.t a complete statement tc r- Tit - A ?bur Capper oi Kansas.

"No matter where we started or j how far afield we wandered." G. C. j Neff of the National Electric Eight r. Association declared, "we always | that however effi.:ent"eTectfica; gener- | ation ar.d distribution might be. the _ small annual consumption of electric- I r ity on the farm, outside of Irrigated regions, was the primary obstacle. This is ag agricultural problem and , must be solved by men who are fais miliar with agricultural practices and i- J tendencies.** 0' Out of this conviction. Dr. White explains, came the present Committee on the Relation of Electricity to Agriculture. the make-up of which Includes representatives of agriculture, i of the electrical industry and of Federal government departments. Broad and deep is the purpose of the committee, yet simple to state. " It is divided into two heads: First, " how service can be supplied to the y farmer and what Is involved In Its establishment, and. second, how servIce can be utilized by the farmer so that it will be profitable to him. Fourteen states are Investigating' " the broad question, under the leader- I - ship of the national committee, of - which Dr. White is the director. The j experiments are in various stages of i e development in these different states, j * Minnesota and Alabama still lead c as the states where the greatest prog- \ ' reas has been made. Michigan and j ?. New York are the most recent states . c to take up the question in an organ-, L ixed manner, t ?

This sb1^ was rebnilt froU uie old collier, Joplter, the first easel of the Navy to be equipped with turbine electric drive. ,1 The Saratoga and Lexington will be literally floating airplane fields.
