ADVERTISING BUSINESS NEED. 
Prof. Butler Warns Merchants Not to Limit 
Their Horizon. 
Ralph Starr Butler, associate professor of busi¬ 
ness, in a lecture at the University of Wiscon¬ 
sin defined advertising as the merchant’s great¬ 
est need. 
“The man who says he does not believe in ad¬ 
vertising does not know what he is talking about,” 
he said. “If he really believed what he says he 
would tear down his sign, board up his win¬ 
dows, cover up his shelves, make kindling out of 
his store windows, and do business with intending 
customers through a hole in the wall. 
“The merchant who is looking toward the 
largest success can no more do without adver¬ 
tising than he can do without his sign, his store 
windows, his display of goods, his service, his 
courteous clerks, his reputation and the thousand 
and one other things that go to make up adver¬ 
tising. 
“Advertising is a modern necessity and the 
merchant who refuses to limit his business hori¬ 
zon does not try to fool himself by thinking that 
he can get along without it.” 
Pennsylvania and New Jersey lead all other 
states in the quantity of wood used for making 
tobacco pipes, and utilize apple wood, French 
brier, ebony, birch, red gum, and olive wood. 
The position of city forester is now offering 
a new field for men with a technical training in 
forestry. Fitchbburg, Massachusetts, is one of 
the latest towns to secure an official of this sort. 
Because of extreme drouth, the fire risks on 
the national forests in the Northwest have been 
greater this season than in any other since 1910, 
the worst year since the forests were created. 
Much less damage was done this year because 
experience in fire fighting was gained in the fires 
of .1910. 
Bill Borden and Durl Spock, the committee
