NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



The following is taken from the Oc- 

 tober number of the Journal of the S. 

 A. F. & O. H., delayed in its appear- 

 ance through the vexatious strike in 

 the printing trade in New York, which 

 has tied up in the neighborhood of a 

 thousand publications: 



"The Influence of Our Slogan." 



Of late we have, in the columns of 

 the trade press presented evidence of 

 the growing popularity of our slogan, 

 "Say It With Flowers" and its use in 

 the direction of publicity other than 

 that which our Campaign Fund pro- 

 vides. George E. M. Stumpp, one of 

 New York's prominent florists, and a 

 generous supporter of our campaign, 

 is a member of the Kiwanis Club, a 

 national organization of business men, 

 with branches in all of the principal 

 cities of the United States. The club 

 has an official organ known as the 

 "Kiwanis Torch," and Mr. Stumpp 

 sends us a clipping from the August 

 number which is further evidence that 

 our slogan is carrying us beyond the 

 sphere wherein we hoped to spread 

 our doctrine. We intended in our lim- 

 ited space to reproduce only a portion 

 of the article, but the sentiment em- 

 bodied in it is so beautiful that we un- 

 grudgingly present the greater part of 

 it. It is written by the editor, who 

 evidently wrote it while convalescing 

 from a sickness. Here it is: 



"Then of course I had to lie around In 

 bed for ten days and Sim., the Sec. of my 

 Kiwanis Club, sent ine some flowers and 

 he must have passed the word to some 

 other secretaries for, bless me, if the 

 wagonB didn't begin to back up in front 

 of the place with flowers until the neigh- 

 bors thought I had died. 



"Were you ever lying in bed. so sick you 

 wanted to gel up and bite your father, 

 and thru have your wife come to the bed- 

 side and lay a great armful of roses beside 

 you? 



"It makes a great big Lump come up in 

 your throat ami makes you sniff like you 

 had a cold, and more than tiiat. it makes 

 you realize that behind all the badinage, 

 all the kidding, all the college fraternity 

 nonsense that permeates these organiza- 

 tions to which we belong, there Is a real 

 depth of love, a real sympathetic interest 

 and a real feeling of regret that you are 

 down on your bark and Buffering. 



"To know that around your town are fel- 

 lows who love you, who with an armful of 

 daisies or a great sheaf of gladiolus are 

 saying, 'Old man. mere words are but 

 empty and meaningless things but let this 

 bunch of flowers show you that I have 

 stopped in the miilst of a busy clay to send 

 yen those thai you may know 1 have 

 thought of you and want their fragrance
