itself subsidized the State agen-

Department of Public Welfare)
to the extent of 26000 per
month to pay tor the necessary

That Department has agreed to

provided the Social Security
Board here in Washington
which advances much' of the
money for the operation of the

County Judges with Hon. Paul
McNutt Administrator of the
Social Security Agency. After
considerable discussion he
agreed to recommend this nfo-

Board. The Board approved
this afternoon as an emergency
method of meeting the situation.

different regular committees of
the House I believe there are
only two other men in the en-

keeps me busy trying to attend
all of the meetings.
Everyone here is saddened by
the serious illness and expected
death of Senator Wm. E. Borah
of Idaho. Although a Republi-

TRUTH about ADVERTISING
By CHARLES B. ROTH
; ' $2 EGGS
WHEN my mother went over-
land.in a covered wagon to a
1 new: home in the West the country
was just settling up. Transporta-
tion was slow was expensive.
Prices of (everything were high.
She prprved a newspaper of her
girlhood q$ the frontier and it in-
. terests roe occasion
ally to rea4 the cur-
at prices of things
you buy eyery day
now for a Jew cents.
Eggs were $2 a
dozen in those .days.
Sugar brought 40
cents a pound. Kero-
sene was $2 a gal-
lon. Candles cost 25
cents apiece;
Compare these
npirB uriflt f ha
. prices you see ad- Cbar' Roth
vertised in your newspaper today
and you will see that although much
talk is bandied back and forth con-
ieraing the increased cost of living
M fact is that the cost has gone
doffQW&rd consistently since fron-
tirttm. .' '
jQ f tba reasons for Ugh prices
j r w was undoubtedly the diffleultv
W "vm-VMSto h supply wm obtained

Ife 9 cWf re was that the

a comparatively few customers.
Costs had to be high.
Prices on everything you huy to-
day regardless of whether you live
In a village or a large city would
be higher now if it were not for the
service of advertising in lowering
them to your advantage. .
as soon as a manufacturer or a
merchant begins to advertise he be-
gins to sell more As he'sells more
it costs him less to sell to each cus-
tomer. He cuts the price. More cus-
tomers come Again he is able to
cut the price.
Pretty soon you have the situation
of improved quality and lower
prices brought about through the
creative service of advertising to the
consumer.
Advertising and high prices do not
go together at all. Tliey are ex-
tremely incompatible to each other.
It is only the product wliicli is un-
advertlsed which has no established
market that costs more than you
caB afford to pay. 4
Whenever you go Into store and
buy an item of advertised merchan-
dise it doesn't make any difference
what you are getting more for your
money mere In quality and serv-
iee than you would get if yeu spent
the 'same araeuat for cMkethuig
whieta was net advertised. '
The man who builds a biwlneae
on advertising can give&you more
for your money because advertising
enables him to give more for leas.
