"Advertising today is the most po
tent force in finance and commerce,"
declared Stephen W. Bolles of the
Humphrey Advertising Company, in
a recent address before the St. Louis
College of Finance and Law. "It Is
today the mightiest factor in the
business world. It is a business
builder with a potency that goes be
yond human desires. It la something
more than a drummer's knocking at
the door of the customer; it is a I
' positive creative force in business.
Modern advertising has made the
luxuries of yesterday the necessi
ties of today. The constant drop
ping of the water of publicity wears
away the stone of indifference."

From every corner of the world
-where civilized people dwell will
com contributions to help swell the I
great purse which will be made up
.for the stricken country of Italy.
JThere has been no calamity in the
history of the world to compare with
that which was visited upon the Ital
ians last week. It is safe to say
that every civilized race of earth is
represented among the victims of
the awful catastrophe. It is simply
bewildering for the human mind to
attempt to picture anything of the
want and deprivation that hangs over
that country. It is the duty of every
community of the world to offer do
nations to the sufferers of stricken
Italy. The Enterprise will take
charge of any contributions that the
people of Independence care to make!
and will forward them to the proper
people In Salem or Portland.

January and February are the
months of clearance sales. Watch the
advertising of these sales in the En
terprise. It's a good time to get real
bargains n merchandise. The En
terprise asks you to do the favor of
patronizing the advertisers when you
can do so without inconveniencing
yourselves. It will pay you to do it
because you know as well as you
know anything that it is the best
houses that advertise. Stop and
think a minute. Isn't it a fact in al
most every case that the merchant
who does not advertise is the one
who is too close and stingy to ap
preciate his own best interests. He
Is not pleasant to trade with. He
never has a bargain for you and you
will notice that he hangs on to his
old stuff for good profits until there
Is nothing left in his shop that is
desirable. Don't you remember
stores that were like that? Perhaps
. you will remember also that they
were poor patrons of the newspapers.
Stand by the good advertiser for he

Pope's Appeal to World.
It is stated that the Popu has de

obtain sabscrlptions to the earth'

Americans, English and Irish.
An American recommends that
through the co-operation of Ameri
cans In Rome, steamers be chartered
at Naples to carry provisions, cloth
ing and medical supplies of all kinds
as well as doctors and nurses to the
Straits of Messina.
The United States is far ahead of
other nations in the relief work. Am
bassador Griscom, has chartered a
vessel for two weeks at a cost of
$50,000 to carry medical supplies,
doctors, nurses and provisions to the
devastated district.

Washington, Jan. 4. Resolutions
were introduced today in the senate

American and English newspapers
have a way of mangling the name of
the sultan of Turkey. Often he is
called simply "Abdul" nothing more.
Sometimes it Is "Abdul the Artful,"
"Abdul the Wary." The proper way
to write the name, according to the
London Chronicle, is "Abd-ul-Hamld"
or, as some would transliterate it,
"Abd-'I-IIamld." This means "servant
(or slave) of the praised one" 1. e.,
God or Allah. The "ul" or " T mere

"Abd" is a very common first name
with Mohammedans, as in Abd-uI-Ka-dir,
Abd-ul-Latif, Abu-ul-Azlz. "Ab

makes nonsense, but no one seems to
notice it.
On this principle George du Maurler
