To make a success of advertising one must be prepared to stick like a barnacle on a boat's bottom. He should know before he begins it that he must pend money lots of it Somebody must tell him that he cannot hope to reap re sults commensurate with his expenditure early in the game. Advertising does not jerk; it pulls. It begins very gently at first, but the pull is steady. It increases day by day and year by year, until it exerts an irresistible power.

April 13. Tbe t;ik oT editing a loeal news paper here is exactly four times more difficult than in an Ameri can city for here there are Turk ish. British. French an Italian censors. paper there after the censors have finished with It sometimes bears little resemblance to what the editor intended. Here are gathered some 2n na tionalities, and each requires an organ. The Creeks have seven newspapers in their own language, and one printed in French; the Armenians have four in their own language and one In French; the Turks have nine dalies. In their own language; the Jews have one in French and two dailies In Span ish; the French have one In their language, the commonly spoken and written language of the Le vant; and they also pay subsidies to several others. The British have one The Orient News. The Arabs have their organ. So do the Persians. Likewise the Russians, anti and pro Bplshevik. Strange peopAles fro mother land9 have their little sheets. The Am ericans prlne a magazine of busi ness and a weekly, the Far Seas, printed by the United States navy. The Italians used to have their organ, and soon will have it again. The flreek Patriarch has his. There is also in French the weekly bulletin of the Vatican's Apostolifc Vicar. It is an easy matter to print a paper in -English or French. How ever, consider that the Jewish pa per is printed in Hebrew letters but in the Spanish language, also that the Turkish language re quires four kinds of type and has 90 letters to its alphabet. The Arab language is a good" deal like the Turkish, except that it is dif ferent in accent marks, and the same may be said of the Persian. A Now put four censors, each of a dSifferent political opinion onto the job of eliminating the unde sirable part of these newspapers, mix with three or four interpre ters to each censor, so he will know what it Is all about and the result i a distracted lot of editors who print the news when they may. The editors cliim they often are obliged to print their paper four times over before issuing it. As this country of sunshine and ra cial heat is also the land of exag geration, they may n otset up their papers so many times. But their printers' bills are heavy ariS, without racial pride to call forth supporting money, the papers would, many of them, cease to be published.
