"THE BEST WAY TO IM-
PROVE BUSINESS IS TO
WRITE THINGS ABOUT IT"
11 is a fact that advertising
has come to have its ethical
91111818; advertisers are coming
to recognize a moral reSponsi-
bility fo the public whom they
address; advertising is now 01 -
gutted as something more than
business news about merchan-
dise. It does more than persu-
ade the public what to buy,
.where buy it, what to pay
for it• Advertising builds big-
ger business, increases turn-
over and makes possible the
manufacture and distribution
of merchandise at less cost.
Advertising educates; it edu-
cates both the public and the
merchant; it not only cultivates
trade, but it cultivates a better
splirlt in trade.
That is the way to feel aliout
your adyertd.sing; it not only
helps you to a better bu,sinesr,
but it helps you to N better
business men, for it's a very
good thing for 3)14' Man to state
his convictions in print ,o.e.r his
own signature. After that he
just HAS TO TRY to live up to
them. As one advertising man
said: "The best way to improve
a business is to write things a-
bout it."

STAND BY THE MEN AT LENS
(Canadians in bitter hand-to-hand
fight all day around Lens. -Cana,
dian Press.)
Who are Canada's men today?
Those at glorious Lens.
Men of action, men of deeds,
• Our brave heroes at Lens;
Not in Ottawa, not in the West,
Shrivelled up party pawns;
But bomb and bayonet, rifle and axe,
Out on the line at Lens.
'Not for self or party's greed,
There on the line at Lens;
Not for faction, but for deed,
There on the line at Lens;
Doing their duty, giving their lives,
To free the world from the Tueton
gyves,
There on the line at Lens.
The evilest thing we ever have had,
Is our senseless party strife.
Parting our people in peurile hates,
With foul corruption rife;
But more so now, When in the bal-
ance,
Hangs the whole world's life;
So gather together, men with men,
Not mere Grit and Tory;
But like our steadfast host at Lens,
One, for the nation's glory.
When the line goes over the parape.t,
There is no parrot at Lens;
Grit and Tory are blashemous
words,
Garments that nobody dons;
Faction and self are not on the card,
They are only men at Lens;
Men to baffle and win and die,
Knowing only the Tueton foe,
And the deed to do, and the road

And are we tru.i to lair scared trust,

Are We playing the real man's game,
Or is it dirty political game,

A nobler dream, heroic and free;

And Stand With the men at Lens.
