French wotuei have long been
famous for makiig money go far.
From childhood t ley are trained in
all the departments of that univer
sal and most exacting business o;
num»i •'■• •jwnding of money—the
making of ends i.. «i.a v»«t
r:a "i of Instances t!iis demands
. - : in adeptness. just as much
•lc- ■ d . ire. ns the masculine
business of making money. So let
ns jive dux credit to the woman of
Franc-. Her garments are fresh,
dainty and of the latest fasion. Her
ha's ar>- models of bewitching lie
' «n. -ness and good style.
And yet she spends in a season far
less 'han 1;- r Kuropean sisters of the
sat financial and social standing
Also she prid-'S herself on the
achievement.
U at are her methods?
Surprisingly sitaple.
Si:e uses her eves and her brain.
She knows rallies when she sees
them, and never neglects a buying
opportunity. But by 110 means is
she without rival in this today.
Merchants whose judgment means
something say that the modern Am
erican woman is without peer as a
discriminating purchaser—that her
alertness to price advantage, her
keenness in questions of style and
quantity are unmatched by ativ other
nation.
Ti.ey attribute this development of
recent years to the education they
t: ■ selves have provided—the edu
laiinn of advertising—and they off
er ample evidence that such is the
fact.
A review of this evidence would
he lengthy and tiresome, and we can
more easily find the truth for our
selves. Make it your own case.
Ynu know that reputable merch
ants. in these days, deal with truth
in their advertising—that when val
ues are stated they are ligitimato
values—that when certain savings
are offered, those savings actually
exist.
You no lettcer have to depend on
voiir own judgment. If the article
you seek is advertised, the reputa
tion of the advertiser is your guar
antee ot its worth.
So it may be well said that we of
America are expert shoppers—that
we get the most for our money—be
cause we follow advertising. This is
palpably the truth.
Hut that doesn's mean that we
are constant spekers of price con
cessions. The benefits of advertis
ing are as great in several other di
rections. It gives, for example, au
thentic style information and pro
motes high standards of quality.
So it is apparent that the woman
best equipped to do the most effi
cient shopping for herself and ner
home is she who keeps closest watch
on the prinf d offerings of merchants
and manufacturers.
Advertising spells style, economy,
abundance of opportunity. It gath
ers the good of the world Into a
handful of printed pages.
If ygu are one of the few who have
not learned of the mutual value and
benefit of advertising It would pay
you at this particular time to read
the advertising columns carefully and
continuously.— Pocatella Tribune.
Judging by the numbers that arc
rushing into Western Alaska on
every boat there will soon be an
overabundance of labor out there—if
ihat condition does not already exist.
It is predicted that government ships
will be used to take some of the men
to the south again.—Kx.
That Alaska, one of the richest
territories in the world, vuli never
develop under government owner
ship. was declared this week by Fal
con Joslin. mining man of Seattle,
before the third international min
ing convention's concluding session.
"We have government ownership in
Alaska of the telegraph system, of
railroad building, of fur seals and
coal mines." he said. "That means
that all these industries are dead
to private enterprises and healthy
growth. The country wil develop
very slowly, if at all. tinder a leas
ing system with government regula
tion and control. Words can scarce
ly describe without disrespect. t!ie
penurious aud appressive policy of
the government relative to the coal
and oil resources of the territory.
The history is shameful. The coun
try cannot grow without fuel and it
will grow slowly, o.- decline as long
as it is obliged to import its fuel
as it has been obliged to do for 10
years past. The real trouble with Al
aska is bad government. The seat
of administration is in Washington
and those who exercise the power
get their information by hearsay.
I'ntil the power is placed among the
people of Alaska it will never fill
the needs of the country. It is not
inadequate steamship service, but
inadequate government that is the
cause in the decline of population.
