Kinds of Products
Advertising Can Sell
First, the product that offers some new and better
way of meeting human wants. For such a product
advertising offers the cheapest, quickest means of
finding those people who will appreciate the advant
ages the new product offers.
Second, the product with hidden values that escape
the consumer’s untrained eye. For such a product
advertising can educate the buyer until he becomes
a discriminating purchaser.
Third, the product which—in lucid moments—its
owner will admit is no better than others of its kind.
For such a product advertising can create a personal
ity that will make it stand out from competing prod
ucts like the one lighted house in a row of dark ones.
Which kind of product is yours? Have you
j learned to use advertising to fit its needs?

General Business Sees Clear Sky,
Is Opinion of Treasury Secretary
Washington, Nov. 10.—General
business sees a “clear sky,” in the
Opinion of Secretary Mellon, who
now expects that doubts "as "to the
future will be removed and com
merce and industry will go ahead
with a program of expending de
velopment.
The secretary believes that the
election has taken off the brakes
that held back business somewhat
for several months.
He thinks also, it was added,
that the railroad managers will
feel that they may lay out pro
grams for the next few years
with more confidence that moves
inimical to them wil not be made
by congress.
Better At Home and Abroad.
GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS
With the uncertainty of a pos
sible deadlock on the presidential
vote removed, it was said, Mr.
Mellon foresees a generally
healthy condition both at home
and abroad.
He traces the improvement in
Europe to the settlement of the
reparations problem Ihrough the
Dawes agreement, and expects
that better conditions will result,
not only in the countries immedi
ately affected by the settlement,
but in the United States and in
other countries that have impor
tant trade relations with those
who have signed the reparations
agreement.
Tax Suggestions.
The treasury itself is preparing
now to round out its suggestion
to the next congress on taxes,
but these recommendations, it was
said, will be largely a restatement
of the position taken last fall.
The proposals will be made Ip
the treasury’s annual report and
probably will include suggestions
for certain tax “reforms,” as well
as references to methods of deal
ing with the question of tax ex
empt securities.

is an excitement.

“Yes.” agreed the first washtub.
“that is true. But you know the
one who washes the clothes says,
every single week:
ti • Dear me, what a big wash.’
She doesn’t seem to like It so
much. But still we can’t help being
cordial, you know.
“Now and again she seems to be
very busy over other things, and a
week goes by when no washing Is
done at all.
“Then there is high excitement,
nnd she says:
«* < My, my, what an enormous
wash, what a simply huge wash.’
“Well, you know we feel that as
long as we did no entertaining the
week before, we should surely make
up for It the following week.

>• And, the joke of It Is, that as
she Is ironing and as she is saying
this, the playful soiled clothes are
being joined by other playful soiled
clothes for the next week’s wash.
“It is a great Joke. ■»
“A great Joke,” said the second
washtub.
And the two washtubs then sang
their washtub song:
Washtub one,
Washtub two,
Oh, what splendid
Work we do.
We keep the clothes
So nice and clean,
We are always cordial.
We’re never mean.
Washtub one,
Washtub two.
Soapy washtubs,
Clothes love you.
They come along
And splitshlly sing
With you this song
Where Soap is king.
They also know
That to see you
Dressing up
They needn’t do.
They come along
Just as they are,
With dirts and spots
From near and tar.
jlut you don’t mind
How dirty they seem,
You welcome them
With your soap-sud cream.
Oh, washtub one
And washtub two,
You will always.
Always do.
The two washtubs did not sing
now. They took a little rest, for
soon another big wash would be
coming along and the washtubs
were going to be fresh and ready
for their party.
And no matter whnt anyone said
about the big wash, the two wash
tubs liked it, for what would they
do with themselves if there weren’t
big washes?

Women Who Give Root
Always Sought After
Discussing a do sen ffcelts women
friends a few s ago p, at
a little diuner pqrty were, surprised
to discover, the. popularity of a
woman whom none had believed to
have an original personality.
Pleasant, kind, lively, interesting
she undoubtedly ta, but It was a
man who explained the aWtnctlon
which makes her companionship de
sired by all her friends.
"She gives rest,” lie gift sai<|, , "And
rest is the greatest a woman
has to give. No one In Helen's
presence can long be conscious of
life’s enormous disarrays; she
heals. Her very presence is har
monious, she gives a sense of se
renity to the restless. That Is why
everyone loves her.”
Very few women are able to be
stow the gift of peace on those
whom they meet in dally life, says
tbs London Mall.
No woman whose mind is rest
less, who has not accepted with gra
eiousness the reconciliations be
tween the ideal and the real, has
power to give rest.
For this power does not come
from anything as superficial as the
pose of languid ease, nop does it be
long to the quiet woman who so
often is also the dull woman.
Only the woman whose mind has
found rest through discipline,
through courage, through of’ strength,
can heal the ’wounds the dis
turbed soul.
Women who have this power give
to their friends the assurance of
security. Very many Women who
delight today displease tomorrow.
One Is unable to depend on their
stability. But the woman who gives
rest does not change her attitude or
her convictions or her moral stand
ards ; she la no romanticist, but be
cause she is In tune with life and
her own setting she creates har
mony around her.
Habit of Migration
Forced on Bird Life
Ages ago the United States and
Canada swarmed with nonmlgrat

ice fields, advancing south during
the glacial era, rendered uninhab

tinent.
As the Ice approached very grad

first only a short distance and a
brief time—Increased both in dis

As the Ice advanced

migration was continually short

portion until the glacial period

to middle South America.
But the Habit of migration bad
