I Tfabja are the viewpoints that Geo. B A. Culien, vice president of the North K ' American Fruit Exchange and former ; vice President of the Lacawanna railroad; expressed today, when quesI tioned as to hia reasons for asking fl the apple growers of this state to | I launch an intensive advertising camI Mr. Cullen has had considerable I experience with the efficiency of ad -vertising as a medium with which to I create brisk business when the com- j I inercial pulae beats very slowly. He i I thinks that the logical time for ad-| ertising is when consumption is at the lowest ebb. It Is then that legitimate selling arguments should be advanced to the buying audience, he says. He has based these calculations on 'the matter on observations which tvave just been reinforced by the publication of Bradstreet's and Dun's jwnj reviews or iauures for 19 20 of the statement of all the failures r?corded during the past year, 84 per cent, were of firms that failed to adJ any produce i8 a matter 12j the people know what you ?-ell.

Inasmuch as lii8 paramount bust's interests are now centered in the ji growmgr oustness the Bald that has investigated the advertising *" d front the viewpoint of a fruit wer. But he is of the opinion that the same results that can be derived from advertising in the fruit field can be derived in other lines of commerce. According to hint, the buying public "Is never in a ntood to buy until it t-has been awakened to the possibilities ' of advantage that will accrue when ' spending money is not particularly plentiful, and when all manner of industry is showing signs 'of slowing <up, it will be found that shopperg are uuost discriminating and unwilling to go Into the markets. Unless a determined effort is made to show them vwhereby they can profit by buying at -such a time, business i9 likely to suf ter serious relapses. The consistent advertiser who, makes use of such business spell to bring his pro duct to public notice is the man who realises profits. In expressing those views Mr. Cullen said that they could be reasonably applied to any kind of business. But he'stressed tlie fact. that advertising was a boon to the Trult situation when buyers are loath to come into the market. ZKKE PEKKIN BUYS A NEW FORD v'Sunc to the tune of Casey Jones) ''Old Zeke Perkins sold his hogs the other day, ' The gosh-darned fool threw his money right away; :Rode into town sitting on a board. Came home riding in a brand new Ford. (Chorus) That gosh-dinged Ford kept right on a-going. That gosh-dinged Ford keeps right ahead; ' That gosh-dinged Ford keeps right on a-going, And it'll keep on agoing till we all are dead. "When he got to the house and turned toward'the gate, He shut down the ihrottle and put on the brake; .lie grabbed the reins, and got the tluottle instead, Ana the gosh-dinged Ford kept a pluggin" right ahead. Zeke Jerked at the lever8 and he turned off the 'gas, He kicked at the pedals and he broke I out the glass; He cut all the wires and he pulled off the top. But the gosh dinged Ford it just wouldn't stop. Bo he pulled out his knife, and he smiled all serene. Cut a hole in the tank, drained out the gasoline; He pulled out hi8 gun, shot the tires full of lead. But the gosh-dinged Ford kept apluggin right ahead. Zeke went right through the fence and up through the lane; Miranda saw him coming, and she almost went insane. 3h0 ran out ahead, then she stopped to see? ' And the Ford struck her squarely where the bustle ought to be. She stuck out her armg as she went into the air; Just as Zeke went by she grabbed him by the hair; She bounded on the seat, landed on me IMKZf And the gosh-dinged Ford kept apluggin' rtght*ghead. "Zeke steered for the shed, but just missed 'the hole, "Struck an old sow, and you should have seen her roll. Then out through the yard they landed In a heap, In the big, muddy pool, 'bout six feet tfZeke grabbed Miranda and struck for shore; i.

To be sure, there is a constant demand for , stenographers, but the g.rl who con | possibly do so should study on a far j broader basis. A stenographer u?*ual- I ly sticks pretty steadily in the same , rank. It is the few only who rise to | luui |iu.-muuu9, wnu come 10 run | their own offices, or graduate Into be- j ing private secretaries. A sound business training is a most valuable possession. The girl who 1ms it can afford to take chances. If she Is with a tirm that shows uo Inclination to promote her, or to use her to the best ability, she can quit and look for another position and be sure to And It For, let It be said right here ' and now, the girl who really knows ] business methods, who is capable of i managing an office, the girl who can I take responsibility, who is accurate I and who makes full, use of her intclll- > gence in business hours is still thq rare girl. Too many girls save their real Interest and their cleverness for j the time spent outside the office. At | work they fall Into a dull routine and ' stay there, doing the same thing day j id ana nay out, and doing it rather ; worse ns time goes on. i If you cannot get your business training before you begin to earn your, living, do It afterward. Nowadays there is plenty of opportunity. There are extension courses and home courses, evening schools and lectures. There are publications devoted to business that are of the greatest value, and then there are the opportunities | constantly available right where you 1 work. ' Don't he satisfied with half measures. shoddy effects. Think of your job as an interesting, a vital part of your life, and keep on the lookout for advancement, earned advancement To stay in a less-well-paid, less-worthwhile and less Important position than you are fit for is a crime against yourself. Do It long enough and you will begin to deteriorate. (Copyright.) 0 Foch Visited Grave of Son. Shortly after midnight the banquet of welcome given at Metz, France, to the Knights of Columbus, at which i Marshal Foch was the principal speaker, came to an end, and the tired knights and other guests hurried to bed. Not so Marshal Foch. Accompanied by a single aide-decamp, he was seen to leave the hotel | about 1 o'clock and enter a huge gray ; military automobile. "Situation must be getting worse in ' Poland," every one said who noted the departure of the marshal, "or else be would not travel to Paris by night." Few knew that Marshal Foch was making a sad pilgrimage to Longwy, i there to kneel upon the grave of his son killed in action during an engagement in the early days of the war. But Foch had to be back In Paria the j uMt uu/ auu cuuiu uui spare ine lime to travel by day.

Underlying die splendid tributes m France and Qreat Britain to two on known soldiers, as symbols of all tin unknown heroes of the war, Is i thought that should And more genera application ?n times of peace. It Is something new for onknowi soldiers to be burled In Weatmlnstei and under the Arch of Triumph. Stati burial was once reserved for marshali biiu inieniiB ioa conspicuous heroes amonn military men. It Is only Jus thut the victory of democracy over'au toe racy should make such a difference and It Is only natural that an anony mous soldier should symbolise comtuci service in war. Such service has always been anony mous, but the anonymous have not previously been so honored. Cornmot service of an official character Is usu ally performed by men In uniform? whether as soldiers, policemen. Are men or sailors?who for the most pari remain anonymous. When one of the* millions of official servants steps out of the usual routine and performs ex traordlnnry service and becomes a hero, the public demands his name Not that It matters; the deed is th? important thing, but henceforth fh? name unri the deed are associated Otherwise the anonymity of the liero'j service is preserved. Some years ago Dr. Nehemlah Boyn ton mude an Interesting address It which he emphasized tlife debt w? owed to the anonymous In all walk? of life. Unofficial service Is bul slightly less nnon.vmous In charactei than thnt of persons In uniform. \V? live In an Interdependent world, yel we know but a handful of people out of countless millions. Life Is sailed on an anonymous sea, and it Is only otiec In a while that we spenk a friendly ship. "What's in a name?" might he rendered "Why n nnme?"

Some sandstones will bend like pieces of India rubber. If a moder ately thin piece of sandstone is supported only at its two ends, it will sag in the middle; while if a piece is supported 'n the middle the two ends will drop. Flexible rock is found In India, and also In America, more especially in Brazil. It contains a proportion ol mica, which is largely used for making lamp chimneys on account of its flexibility. The presence of mica does not, however, account for the bending quality of the rock, which is due to the fact that the particles of quartz ol which It is composed are interlocked together like hinges, with spaces in between the particles, in such a manner that though the rock will give to a certain extent it will not break. The Snail and the Screw. It is no doubt true that nearly all human inventions have been suggested by natural objects. Fremont of the French school of mines points out an interesting example in the case of the screw, the fundamental idea of which, he believes, was suggested to primitive man by the spiral shape of the edlhle snail. It was not the shape of the shell that suggested the screw, but the spiral motion which It is necessary to give to the body of the snail In order to withdraw It from the shell. This at once showed that an object of a screw shape embedded In a solid powerfully resisted attempts to withdraw It by a straight pull. The hint was enough, and the screw became one of the earliest of man's inventions. Not on Supreme Court Rolls. Daniel Webster, one of the most ac n?c mwjera ueiore me nar or tne united States Supreme court, never signed the membership roll of the court. Associate Justice John H. Clarke, a member of the Supreme court, never practiced before the Supreme court as a lawyer, and his name is not on the rolls us having been admitted to the bnr of the court. The same Is true ot former Associate Justice David Davis, who. after the Hnyes-Tllden contest for the presidency, left the Supreme court to serve as United States senator from Illinois. But as Senator Davla he appeared several times before the Supreme court. Sorrows of the Sultan. Six months ago an oriental potentate of note dismissed a dozen of hit wives on the ground of economy. Now the cables tell us he's chaaged his mind, foodstuffs and dress goedi having declined, but It's too Iste.
