ADERTISING’S DEVELOPMMENT.
The amazing development, during:
the emergency of war, of the value
of advertising- for every patriotic
purpose made a profound impres
sion on the business men of the
United States. As a result, points
out the editor ox Leslie’s, an extra
ordinary impetus to advertising has
been felt since the close of the,
war. much of this in directions in j
which the value of publicity bad not
been appreciated.
In a thoughtful article on '’Ad-j
vertising’s Opportunity,” by Roy
Dickinson, in the current issue of!
Printer's Ink, we are told that "To
day advertising is in the presence .
of an even greater opportunity to •
serve.” He believes that publicity
in the leading advertising mediums
of the country will aid in working
out a fair and equitable under- ■
standing between capital and labor. ■
He says that, while all sorts of j
agencies, from banks to churches,
have been told that they aior.e can j
step in and save the country in its ’
need, the trouble is that no attempt.
is made to tie up with funda- ■
mentals, and that the line of action j
suggested for co-operation is most j
indefinite. |
Discontent and unrest, Mr. Dick
inson says, have spurred the indi- .
vidual onward and upward. The
right sort of “unrest advertising"
has made men dissatisfied with poor
teeth and made them des.re tooth
brushes, the care of a dentist, white
bath-tubs and the hundreds of ad
vertised articles which make for
higher standards of living; but it
also presupposes wages high enough
to buy things which make life worth
while. And wages can go hand in
hand with real prosperity if produc
tion increases. The writer adds:
“Advertising by increased demand
helpis cut down the unit cost and is
an acting link between high wages,
prosperity and the desire of men for
better things—a higher standard of
living.”
THE PEOPLE AND THE
PROFITEERS.
There is a very weicome move
ment on the part of legislator1,
state and federal, to look- into the
high cost of necessities.
People throughout the country,
says the Tacoma Ledger, will be
glad to see a real beginning made
on ferreting out the cause for con
tinued high prices in the face of
reports that all kinds of supplies
and crops are bountiful.
The only danger is that this in
vestigation will end like many an
other—nowhere.
The people of this country, the
housewife who does the marketing
and the shopping, the man who
pays the bills, owe it to themselves
to give their firm support to any
movement which tends to uproot this
evil and put prices upon a fairer
basis.
Merchants should be made to fee!
that their customers are not only1
interested Dut informed, that they I
are keeping close track of the situ
ation.
In any neighborhood the man who
is charging 10 cents, more per pound,
or $10 more per article, than an
other tradesman should be left to
his fate, while his customers go to
the man who tries to make no more
than an honest profit.
It is the fact tha' the public
which suffers does not do more to
protect itself which makes it possi
ble for the profiteer to grow fat.
At the same time that they are
manifesting their intention to be
fairly treated by tradesmen at home,
the people should bring the weight
of their opinions to bear upon the
lawmakers who represent them.
It is only by concerted and in
sistent action that present condi- '
tions can be improved.
A citizenship night school, as au
thorized by the territorial statute
and supervised by the commissioner
of education, will open for work at
7:00 p. m. on October 20th, in the
same room the night school occu
pied last year. The same studies,
with certain possible modifications,
will be pursued: reading, writing,
spelling, arithmetic, history, United
States constitution and government,
requirements for citizenship, etc.
All persons over 16 years of age,
who cannot attend any other school
and who are in need of either first
lessons or review in the branches
here taught, are entitled to attend
this school, whether they are citizens
or not. There will be four sessions
each week, each session being two
hours in length.
Surrounded by the conveniences
of the comfortable high school room,
with books of most helpful character
to study, and with an experienced
teacher ever at hand to help one
over the little difficulties one en
counters as one studies, where can
one spend two hours of the early
evening to better advantage than in
the N'enana citizenship night school?
A good tablet, a good pencil, and a
good resolve to learn new things or
review old ones, are all you need
to bring with you in order to be
come students in the night school.
The class of last winter was a class
for any community to be proud of.
All men and women who are inter
ested in this work, or who would
ask questions pertaining to the work,
should see Dr. Diven. He is the
teacher and will tell you anything
you wish to know about the work.

LONDON.—Increase in bigamous
marriages throughout the United
Kingdom, much more pronounced
since the end of the war. is causing
grave concern, and there is a grow
ing disposition to treat bigamy as a
venial offense.
Sir Bernard Mallet, the registrar
general, is credited with the state
ment that English marriage laws af
ford less security against bigamy
than the laws of almost any other
civilized state. His department has
prepared proposals for their amend
ment, but nothing has been done
to carry them into effect. A new
ae‘ of parliament is necessary, and
Sir Bernard suggests as a prelim
inary that some plan be outlined by
which accurate information concern
ing the principals in a propose
marriage may be obtained by com
petent authorities before the cere
mony can be performed.
For marriage by license in Eng
land it is required that both parties
make solemn declaration that they
know of no impediment to their
union, that they have resided for
15 days in the district, and. if they
are minors, the consent of guardian
or parents has been obtained. But
no solemn declaration is required for
such material particulars as names,
condition as to marriage, age. rank,
and residence. *
