, There should be sufficient money raised to warrant a

'' For this is primarily an agricultural district, and the
greatest prosperity of both city and country will come from
a diversified and intensified use of the soil, coupled with
manufacturing, shipping and buying operations in finding
the best markets for all the products of the soil.
So the support of the Salem Commercial Club should
be very general. The writer believes that, while many of
the supporters of the work ought to increase their finan
cial support, the bulk of the new money sought for by the
committees should be from new channels
And the five-dollar man ought not to be overlooked ; nor
cVen the one-dollar man. "
A very, wide support will make for a very wide interest
in the objects of the organization, and that is most desirable.

constantly; that times should not be good all the time here

If Salem would adopt the motto of Los Angeles, "Full

A thoroughly well supported commercial club will help
in this matter in many ways.

By jthe close of 1921 California

By the withdrawal of the Greek
forces in the region of Ismid the
way is left open for the advance
of the Turkish Nationalists to the
Bosphorus if they choose to take
advantage of it. Constantinople
itself could presumably be de
fended by the entente fleets
gurding the straits, but there
seem to be no armies available
for the defense of the peninsula
on the Asiatic side which gives
approach to the Turkish capital.
The facts, hower, are ex
tremely obscure, and little is
known, either of the attitude ot
the Turks, because the peace pro
gram of the allies was interrupt
ed by the refusal of the Greeks to
accept mediation. But the Turk
ish Nationalists have never re
linquished their demand for re
storation of the capital of the
empire, and an apparent chance
to capture it might b a tempta
tion hard to resist. Nor are the
allies united in opposing their re
turn-to Constantinople. The Paris
Temps makes the important state
ment that at the recent London
conference the British govern
ment agreed to the French pro
posal of a possible eventual evac
uation of the Turkish capital by
he allies, on condition of the es-1
tablishment of an entente Gibral
tar on the peninsula of Gatlipoli
commanding the Dardenelles.'
With this exception all the zone
of the straits would be handed
back to the Turks. The Temps
raises this point now because it
believes that by negotiation on
this basis the Turks might be
kept from attacking a city which
they would ultimately get by
peaceful methods.
It is clear that the famous city
of Constantinople remains a dan
gerous apple of discord. Not all
countries desire it but no country
desires to see it possessed by a
rival. France would much rath
er see Turkey established there
than England, and the prolonged
British occupation which is what
the present status amounts to.

power the presence of which
there would not cause jealousy
and suspicion. Internationaliza

the ideal thing gets little chance
in the treatment of the Turkish
problem. The approach of the
Turkish armies raises once mor?
the question of Constantinople in
,an acute form.

Postmaster General Hays, hu-
manizer of the postal service, ha3
directed that hereafter all de

monial forms of address and sig
nature, such as "My dear sir" and
"Sincerely yours." "In no part
of our work." he declares, "does
the demand for the human qual

Above all, I do not want the let
ters to be stereotyped.-'
In an age when every tim
saving device is at a premium the
old-fashioned formula of circum

Nobody writes any more: . "Your

was regarded by many as a waste
of ink. Lincoln sometimes used
"Yonr obedient servant," but
generally it was "Yours truly,"
or at most "Yours very truly."
Perhaps it would be more per
tinent to the present issue to cite
the usage of our first postmaster
general. Benjamin Franklin. Our
great Philadelphian liked to-be-tin
his letters with the utmost
brevity. He usuallv started mere

Make the Pennies: Bi

When James Buchanan was President and tall beaver hats were in vogue; when gentle
men wore broad cravats and ladies wore hoop skirts the pennies they tossed to chil
dren were as big as quarters. But the cart-wheel coppers your, grandfather got for
keeping his lace collar clean were not as big in buying power as the pennies of today.
A penny then might buy a pastry, or ten
of them take one to the Fair, but your great
aunt and great-uncle couldn't have gone to a
movie at any price.
Your great-gran'ther may have driven
the fastest horse in the country and paid a
tidy sum for it. ..But the price of a stable of
thoroughbreds would not have bought him
a flivver.
Sixty years agq the ladies could go shop-
ping for dry oods and buy silks that would
make you green with envy, linens that were
linens and broadcloths that beggar descrip
tion. But what their favorite store did not
have they usually got along without.
You can pick up your daily newspaper
and in fifteen minutes you can know what
the different shops are offering in fabrics,
patterns, varieties and qualities that great
grandmother never dreamed could be gath
ered together under any conditions.
Times have changed, and so have mer
chandise and business methods. One of the
influences that has helped to bring about so
much of change, that has helped to multiply,
opportunities- and increased the spending
size of our pennies is advertising.
Every merchant, every manufacturer
knows that advertising materially reduces
selling costs . by increasing the demand for
and the distribution of the products of hun
dreds of thousands of mills. Indeed many
of the things we count today as necessities
or simple luxuries could, not be made and
sold at their reasonable prices except as ad
vertising has created a broad market for
them, making millions of sales at little prices
and little profits.
And so you owe very much to advertis
ing. You owe much to the people of yester
day who have read and been influenced by
past advertising and so have made possible
the economics and varieties and wide dis
tribution of merchandise that you enjoy.
You owe present advertising a thorough
reading. A greater familiarity with adver
tising, with advertisers and advertised mer
chandise makes continually for the increas
inj .size of your pennies.
