There ir a bill before Congress which would prohibit
'die mailing of merchandise to prospective customers
.vile have not ordered it. For many years it has been
’he practice to mail out hosiery, neckties, perfumes,
greeting cards and the like to lists of persons likely to
accept and pay for the stuff rather than to go to the
trouble of returning it.
This practice is the source of great annoyance to
persons whose names happen to get on the mailing lists
of the firms employing it, Even though there is no
legal obligation to pay for or return the goods sent
them “on approval” most person will do one or the
other for fear of appearing dishonest.
While, ordinarily, we do not favor the passing of
more laws for the restriction of the public, the schemes
which are being worked for forcing merchandise upon
unwilling customers are a nuisance, and ought to be pro
hibited.

Many merchants need to be educated to the
news value of advertising. People subscribe to
newspapers to get the information they con
tain. Information largely is news and news
largely is information. Business information
is business news. An advertisement which con
tains no news has no reader interest. There
are few such advertisements If the announce
ment contains nothing more than the name of
the advertiser and the location of his place of
Business it will be of news to some one. If it
speaks specifically of certain goods and tells
the reader where they may be obtained, that
is news. If it names an attractive price the
news interest becomes greater.

According to the Pathfinder, the Georgia legis
lature defeated a billl permitting women to hold of
fice 35 years ago on the ground that “the character of
Southern women is the brightest spot in the South’s
bright history” and that mixing politics would dim
that brightness. We wouldn’t attempt to prove that
those old-timers were wrong, even if they were old
fashioned.
An Independent Feeling
No matter what their income, every young couple should
have a bank accont.
It is more than a reserve to meet unexpected expenses.
It is more than a means of obtaining more comforts,
and conveniences.
A bank account and a regular method of saving create,
a feeling of independence, a feeling of self-respect.
Money is not everything, but the lack of sufficient funds
often brings unhappiness. Do not let your life be threat
ened by financial worries.
