ADVERTISE
Tho Springfield Development League, at its meeting
Tuesday evening, spent a considerable portion of its time
in discussing the matter of advertising Springfield, during
the coming summer when so many tourists are going to
be. on the' coast, and the unanimous opinion was that every
effort within the means of the community ought to be put
forth to "bring this place to the attention of prospective in
vestors and settlers. League members were unanimous
vlhat some form of literature should 'be gotten out to -give
In as concise form as possible, information, about Spring
field and its surrounding country. Such literature should bo
on hand fax quantities; sufllcient to supply all inquirers who
pay Springfield a personal .visit and additional copies ought
to be sent to all who might be interested. The booklet is
sued by the Willamette Valley Exhibition association gives
the names of various community organizations to whom
those interested may write for further information. There
are bound to be inquiries; Springfield must be prepared
to supply the Information.
The very name "Springfield" is an asset of value for
community advertising. In the United States there are no
less than a dozen towns by the name of Springfield, ranging
from Spriugfieldj Massachusetts, with a population, o 100,
000 downs to Springfield, Colorado, with 100 people. All
of these Springfields are known to thousands of persons
more than those who live in them, and to every person
who knows of a town by the name of Springfield the word
will be a magnet, drawing their attention It is up to our
Springfield to capitalize this interest. Literature and lettdrs
sent to these other Springfields will secure attention all out
of proportion to the attention paid to the advertising matter,
of other towns. -:
Some cities have spent thousands of dollars to impress
their ;name. oh; the minds of easterners; "Springfield'' is
already known to the greater portion of them, and "the hard
part of interesting easterners in our community has been
done. Why waste the opportunity?

be cut according to the cloth of resources. Thd strongest
co-operation of all citizens is necessary to get the best re
sults. The meeting next Tuesday is for the purpose of
tackling this community advertising problem. All who- want
Springfield, to go ahead and, every citizen does; the only
difference has been on the methods to be employed should
attend this meeting, take his part in the discussion, and then
get behind the .movement and present this year to the world
as united a front as it is possible for any town to present.
BRINGING THE MAN TO THE JOB.
The Federal Department of Labor has opened an employ
ment bureau with the largest force and the most comprehen
sive system of Government aid for unemployed workers

plan of "bringing the manless jobiand.. the jobless man- to
gether." 1

expected, the trade if: anyj whether married or single, and if
married whether his; -wife' would accept employment as a do

fare.
Blanks on which employers make application for laborers
state the nationalities preferred or acceptable, whether single
men or men accompanied by their families are preferred,
whether transportation will be advanced and whether, if ad
vanced, it will, be deducted, from wages. Other Information

lodging and length of employment and hours of work.
