WHAT IS 100% AMERICANISM? We hear a great deal ithese days of a mythical personage who is 100% Americanism, and we are still wondering who he is, where he is, what he I is aside from the 1Q0% and what he looks likelife is evidently groping for . the '' same information forthat saucy week | ly has the following this week:— "It is probably too late now fori any musical comedy producer to arrange for a choros otf socialists to oome on singing; I am a Hun 1 am a Hun I am a Hun >- dred percent American!" We wxmder if it ever bccured to the •watch dogs of Liberties, and the supporters of our sacred institutions that a little more real patriotism at Washington would go far toward cultivating patriotism. The ma. p- may be as ignorant as these worthy men seem to believe ^ but the coming generation is, not totally ignorant of the fact that regardless of what party is in power, partisan politics actuates 90% of tfaeirjpfts. which permit the punishment - of small offenders and are more than lenient toward rich offenders do not savor of 100% Americanism A government that wasts as much tame <k>u« nothing as is wasted every year at Washington in not doing much to cultivate in our national garden the plants of national hopes, as pi rations or patriotism. What a pdty 100% Americans cannot be substituted for those at our capita! whoe acts show the cloven hoof of a politician rather than the naked foot of Justice Whatever the party he adheres ho a politaoan for the moat part is filled with patriotism—for himself— and while men have all the failings at humans we expect we must be content that there are some whose acts show more patrictisan for the country' than they do for the chosen of the people ' America for Americans may be .a', good policy if property interpreted but i who is "to decide what constitutes an I American of the pure unadulterated! brand? If 'Americanism if founded on any j one quality that quality must be i Justice. And wfcpc the 100% Ameri- 1 *an is found he will be a just man at j home, in public and abroad. j t

IS IT NOT SOT 1 Advertising fa to Selling What f Lathering fa to Sharing v — r I hastened into a barber ehop the ; other day, says B- C Flortes, in o Fortes' Magazine, and- asked if I L could be shaved in five minutes. tJ "Yep!" was the reply. H* barter s. ; quickly applied the soap. He began a ' lathering and fathering and kept on g ! lathering until I felt sure I would p ; miss my train. Still he kept on ply- g ; :ng his soap brush. I was saying to e i myself, "Why doesn't he quit this » . process and get busy with Ms razor?" n

That would have been my way of 1 shaving myself in « hurry. When he J finally did take up his razor, the job t over in a jiffy. And I caught I train. t H»e incident, for some reason or other, begot this thought in my mind: Lathering is to shaving very much same thing that advertising is to selling. If you do enough preliminwork and do it properly, so that groundwork has been thoroughly prepared, then the resistance fa very greatly reduced, and it fa possible either to shave with less trouble or to ' sell goods *wath less trouble- A good r many business men are as foolish as t

would have been m trying to shave myself in a huitry. They dont use enough advertising before starting to to get results- They dont apply enough advertising father.
