LEAGUE TABLES.
TWO GOOD GAMES. Kowloon Bowling Green versus Kowloon Docks at the Bowling Green should be a very close and keenly contested affair. I fancy the Bowling Green at home.
In the Second Division K.C.C. seconds are at home to Talkoo and this should be another very closs
game.
OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP.
In Mr. McCubbin's opinion, the new club-house will be fitted out in such a way as to be able to enter Lain visiting teams and non-playing members.
What It Will Cost.
The estimated cost is $16,846 80; that the Club will be able to build free from debt. Ninety per cent. would be paid on completion and the balance held for six months as guarantee.
After Mr. McCubbin had for- mally proposed authorisation of the

By bringing into play those new and scientific methods, of marketing which modern condi- tions demand, we shall go far to retain that pre-eminent position In commerce which has been won for us by the efforts and enter- prise of previous generations.

The newspaper trade, is the most remarkable example of scientific advertising and business development that the world hus yet seen. The message of the convention is that what has been achieved by publicity in the news paper trade, constant Improve ment of service coupled with con- stant reduction of prices to con- sumer and constant increase of profs to producer, is in some degree possible to every other trade in the world.
Sir Ernest Benn, speaking on advertising and social service, said:
When the history of our times comes to be writton we shall be described as people who gave up work to take up polities, who laid down tools and attempted political experiments which did not suc- ceed, leaving our job grandfathers and the bill to the grandchildren.

This country is over-politicalis- ed. For about 30 years politi- clans in the mind of the public have been going up and the business man down. True polities is becoming a lost art. Enter- prise, skill, and knowledge which ought to be employed in the busi, ness of maintaining markets and providing employment are being diverted into new and puerile
channels.
Mr. C. King Woodbridge, presi- dent of the International Advertis- Ing. Association, invited delegates to be present at the meetings in formation of an international board Detrolt, when he will propose the with elected representatives of ad- vertising organisations in various countries to develop international business through advertising.

section, said:
We should try to get rid of that abominable word "circularising." I never hear this word without conjuring up a vision of misalves from gentlemen of Hebraic origin but Scottish names who are de- sirous of lending me any sum from £10 to £10,000 on note of hand alone. If I do not think of these gentlemen I think of others who write to me to give advertis- ing support to mysterious journals about which there is a ceep mystery дя to circulation figures. Speaking at the newspaper sec- tion's session, Sir William Crawford, deplored the poor representation of Britain and the United States at the Cologne Press and Printing Exhibition, which, he said, had been exploited by Bolsheviks paganda. He urged his hearers to visit the exhibition, which he de- scribed as wonderful and stimulat- ing.
