AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION, Foreign Adyv. Representative
FOR STRICKEN POLAND :
Twice in modern history have the brave ‘men and women of
Poland thrown an impassable barrier across the plains of Central
Europe between Western Civilization and embattled hosts of bar
barians. Poland stopped the Tartans when Western Civilization
was in its infancy and when a successiul Mongolian invasion would
‘have changed the entire complexion of the Western world, of Eu
rope and America.
For four years past Poland has thrown her sons in heroic sacri
fice between the Western World and the powerful armies of ' the
Bolshevik, and stopped the Russian legions whose soldiers fight
with the recklessness and sublime abondon of inspired faith in great
cause. Reactionary Russians under General Wrangel cannot stop
them. French and British troops under the ablest commanders of
the forces that defeated Germany, can not stop them. Poland did.
i And Poland is paying the price. For six years the armies of
all the world have made a battle ground of Poland, From Przem
sly to Warsaw, and back, and around, the legions of Czar and Kai
ser and King and Revolutionist, have marched and fought and bur
ned and massacred. Crops cannot grow where iron and steel is the
only seed that has been sown, and fertilized with profligate waste
of human blood.
Polish winters are hard and cold. Millions of men and women
and little children will freeze before Spring unless America sends
aid. The good women of Fitzgerald are asking you to help them.
Can you refuse? S
NEWSPAPER SERVICE
The function of a newspaper in the complicated organization of
a modern civilized community is generally recognized to be a three
fold service to its readers—to tell them what is happening, to tell
as best it can why things are happening so, and to help them spend
their money to best advantage.
The first two lines of service are generally understood. It is
an editor’s business to keep posted on what iy happening and tell it.
It is his business to study the reasons why. The average man hasn’t
time to go into the causes and effects. The editor is paid to take
time and study conditions and the things that effec them, and to
tell the result of his study through the editorial colums,
But the third service, which in this money-mad world has be
come fully as important as the other two—helping them spend their
money to best advantage—is not generally understood. The average
reader frequently looks askance at the advertising colimns of a news
paper. Some very few, fortunately, think that the newspaper is not
treating them fairly by devoting so much space to advertising.
Did you ever think to notice who advertises in the columns of
this paper and what they advertise? Two things are u vally
assured in advertised goods, either quality or price. The alue of
price advertising to the reader is self evident. Advertisers zre al
ways business men whose printed promises in newspaper columns
are gbod. ~ Business men don’t lie in advertisements. When a price
is quoted in an advertisement the article advertised is always to be
found on the merchant’s shelf at the advertised price. Ihe value
to the reader of quality advertising is equally apparent. A man
would indeed be a fool to tell you his product was better than others
if he did not know he could prove it to you by actual experim :nt.
You can’t go wrong on advertised goods. If they (didn’t have
some advantage over others, they wouldn’t be advertised. Since
they have some advantage over others, the newspaper logs its read
ers a service by opening its columns to the man with the goods.
“Reading is better than rummaging,” asserts the Dublin Courier
kicra.ld- "“\\‘ hen you go to buy, a pair of bocts, a can of peas or a
pot luck”?
o “You can save many a dollar and many an hour’s time,” con
tinues the writer, "if you know beforehand what your money is going
to get you—and where to get it ‘
“Merchants with established réputations are the best with whom
to deal. Merchandise with established reputation is “always the
best. If it's clothing you know how well it will wear and what
the style should be. 1f it's a musical instrument you know what
kind of service is should give. : }
“David Crockett said, “Be sure you're right, then go ahead.”™
The way to be sure of the goods you buy is to read advertisem nts
regularly. Then you won”t go wrong. Reading : Ivertissments
is far better than rummaging aimlessly.” . '
BEWARE OF STOCK SHARKS .
The get rich quick promotions of the last two or three crazy
years are coming home to roost, now that money is tight and the
price of commodities are dropping.
It is stated in the Agricultural Department at Washington that
new oil companies, either hopeful ot wildcat, sold a billion dollars
worth of stock to the farmers of one rich western state in two years,
These farmers are now learning that most of this money was abso
lutely thrown away.
In Jows, two flashily advertised packing house companies were
started and most of the shares were sold to farmers of the state by
salesmen who received commissions of 235 cents on every dollar they
made the farmer produce. One of these concerns buil{ a plant and
failed in four months. The other didn't get that far; nevertheless,
the million and a half the farmers paid in is mostly missing., The
courts are now full of law suits started by indignant stock purchas
ers, :
- Recently, a western farmer who in a life-time of hard work had
developed a first class farm worth $40,000, went into court and asked
that a guardian be appointed for himself. It appears that the stock
boomers had gotten him to sign up for stock in varions shady oil
companies to the tune of $175,000. The guardian repudiated the
notes and the farmer will not lose his farm. |
James A. Davis of the Chicago Association of Commerce says:
“It is safe to éstimate that at this very moment there are MORE
THAN ONE BILLION DOLLAR'S WORTH of ‘wild-cat’ invest
mentB being offered to the people of this country.”
Don't buy. Beware of the sharpers!

A Thought for the Evening
A VERSE AND A VIGNETTE
By Dan G. Bickers
ON ARMISTICE DAY .
Two years have padsed and yet___
We cannot now forget ;
That remnants of the worldwar lie :
About’ us to obstruct, impede, :
And irip ae. L Whyt. . -, ‘
Why has not Peace arrived to lead
The nations into rest?____
There is no mystery! If we but pause
To count the steady age-grown cause
Of war, the final conflict "gulfing all :
The peoples of the earth, 'twill be confessed
We cannot have immediately the peace to fall ‘ :
Like darkness on the mountain____We
Are not prepared for peace, we have not made
The whole world ready for her, laid
Foundations deep, enduring. There will be .
Yet tasks to finish ere the world shall see .
The peace we hoped for, fought and prayed
To consumate____Be patient yet____
Do not forget, do not forget!
PERMANENT PEACE
Peace was ready to make her home in the Earth__
But she had had severe experiences____
And she said: “Before T come, I must be assured that the
World is ready to accept me for better or for worse, to the end!”
THE TES® :
Doubt attacked him in the lonely road— \
Then Presumption faced him in the crowd
And he defeated them both—
To fall victim to dishonesty in his daily work. 1
A Sermon to Live By
By Rev* Elam Franklin Dempsey, D. D.
THE PRIEST ,
Text, 2 King 11:9, “Jehoida the Priest Commanded.”
Lesson: 2 Kings 11:1-20. ‘
“The priest!” Why not the soldier>—the statesman? These
would have been more fitting, it scems. But they were not at the
{Lord’s Hand, responsive to His use, “The Priest” was a willing
spirit. ~ His heart was hot in him to do God’s work. ‘The stone
that is fit for the wall will not be left by the roadside.” Ah, No!
God will lift it into a place in the walls of that Living Temple
which He is building from age to age, and which shall be to His
praise before a wondering Universe unto all eternity. A willing,
hot--hearted man will be seized upon by God for His work.
£ k 8 K kN ook Y ;
He was devoted to God—was “the priest.” ‘His cheek had
stung with the blush of shame as he saw God’s house neglected—
yea, worse, dishonored, His spirit had flamed with stifled fires be—‘
cause of insolent heathen fanes that defiled God’s fair land. What
sort of life for God is it that can not find a burning hate for sin
in its heart! What sort of church-member is it that never mourns
for the decline of Zion?
WO % o C® ey
He was loyal to his king—“was the priest.” Loyalty! How
beautiful, how heartening, how strength-inspiring! Here was no
time-serving, self-pleasing forgetter of his country and his coun
try’s honor. Such citizens as he are the saving salt in every com
monwealth, who keep it from rotting down with selfishness, com
promise and corruption.
o ek W X
He had organizing genius, too—had the “priest.” His daring
initiative was not foolhardiness—a blind fury to act. He keenly
scanned the great clock of Providence, he noted the fateful instant,
he planned his work with lightning swiftness, and struck as that
lightning strikes—terrible and splendid as the 'eye-flash of Diety.
W R R R A
Above all, he had the God-idea—had “the priest.” ‘For him
to live'—it was the house of “the Lord,” “the Sabbath,” “the altar,”
“the temple of God,” and “‘God’ save the king!” Majestic.re
petend! He whose life resounds with it will have a good success
as did—"the priest.” v 7 ‘
