Will the' United States become invohibd in the Euro
pean war? is a question often asked. With the men
and resources of Russia and possibly Italy entered in
the game beside of Germany, France and Britain stand
a poor chance at winning. It is generally believed that
if prance and 'Britain lose, Germany and her allies will
move forward to take America. It is also believed that
a portion of the Americas are now with Germany. Will
the United States become involved in the war is not the
only question, but will it be over there or over here is
more important to us.

NEWSPAPERS BEST
ADVERTISING MEDIUM
(From the Thomasville, Ga.,
Times-Enterprise J
The only question that is both
ering advertisers these days is
which type of advertising pay^
best. They have alt learned that
advertising pays and that unless
it is used it will reflect a very un
fortunate and dangerous condi
tion in any business. The opin
ions of many advertisers will be
freely given in this regard, but
the right way of getting the ac
tual opinions is to go to those
who> are influenced by advertis
ing as to the types that pay. I
Many people are averse to ad
mitting they were drawn by ad
vertising while many others go in
and boldly demand what they saw,
advertised and feel like they have
been smart, showing the mer
chant how be reached them and
also holding him to his pledge.
So th? advertiser wants also to
be able to reach the maximum
number with the lowest ^possible
expenditure. Therefore any evi
dence or statistics on the the gen
era) public reactions to the var
ious forms of advertising is most
valuable* to those , who expend
large sums on that business aid
each y?ar. If you are interested
In advertising you will read this
excerpt from a recen^ editorial in
Ik? Banner-Herald with
interest. If you are only a buy
er It Will give you a pointer as to
where to And .the best advertising
mediums if you happen to want
something. ~
What kind of advertising pays?
Y eager and White, certified pub
lic accountants, recently com
pleted a survey in Louisville, Ky.,
on advertisings going directly to
the consumer to secure their re
actions to the various forms of
advertising.
Two questions were asked:
1. "What kind of advertising
Influences you most in your buy
ing?"
B. ?'Which of the various types
of advertising do you And most
objectionable?"
The answers were:
1. Theatre screen advertising
is the poorest kind of all.
2. Billboards and circulars are
next poorest In rank.
3. Radio and direct-mail are
next in line.
4. Newspaper advertising was
declared to be the most effective
to the general public.
5. The survey found no direct
sales resistance to newspaepr ad
vertising; newspaper advertising
sold more than all other,! media
combined.
6. Newspapers sell 66 ^r cent
of all goods sold by advertising;
all other media sell 44 per cent.
7. 64 out of every 100 women
buy from newspaper advertisings,
61 out of every 100 men are lifi?
fluenced the same way.
8. Two out of every 100 wonw
en bhy from circulars while ljL
out of everr 100 object to drew
Ian. One flfat of every 100 m?H
