SOME PLAIN TALK
Randolph Review Editor Writes
Splendid Article On This I'm
portant Question.

Not because the Review derives
part OF its income from advertising
and not merely for The sake Of TO-
creasing it's income from that source
but as a matter Of truth fact and
reason comparatively few merchants
in this section advertise as they look
upon advertising merely as an ex-
pense or what Is worse as charity
to the newspapers Some do not ad.
yertise because they do not feel that
they need It. What is the result?
The Mail order House is getting the
mans business
You laugh you scon. Impossible,
you say Very well. talk to your
postmaster. On Monday, August IS,
10 mail sacks came to the Alliance,
Nebraska. postofice. Each sack con.
tanned 20 catalogues from Montgom.
cry Ward q Co These catalogues
We're consigned to their customers.
The postage on each catalogue was
rs cents That made total of $50
catalogues in one day. the total cost
for postage alone being sos These
catalogues cost the company approx
lmafely S1.O0 each to publish. This
makes the cost Of the catalogues
sent to Alliance in one day a total
of 1880 which plus the postage
makes $475, or SIPS for each Gus
toner
In short Mr. Business Man, the
mail order house is encro&ahiag upon
your business Don't complain il
your business is slow Don't COM
plain II people patronize the mail
order houses. Don't wall and mourn
because your business is not what you
think 1t ought to be, II does not
grow because you do not keep ever
lastingy at it, The truth Of the
matter is, in a nutshell, there are
some advertisers who think that
page of advertising ought to last
them a year.
Take the experience OF the Review
1t should not be understood that this
paper is complaining because Of any
dearth of advertising because on the
contrary it has had plenty of adver
Using but when the editor Of the Re
view has from week to week ap
preached some business men. four
times out of five he has met with the
remark q can't afford to this week "
Think OF it. He can't afford to tell
Of his wares. lie can't afford to de-
scribe what he has to sell lie can't
afford forsooth to let you know
whether his goods are as cheap as
the mail order house goods How
then can he expect to attract business
when the larger concerns mail into
hundreds of homes in this country
their catalogues How can a store
expect to compete with the mail or
der houses when they won't adyer-
tise because they look upon it as an
expense.
If you are not willing to invest
money in telling people where you
are and what you have you must
blame no one but yourself if your
business dwfndIes sud is finally taken
away from you by more up-to-date
houses.-Randolph Review.

COST OF LIVING
Or. Wiley Says Eat More Cereals and
Less Meat--Keep a
Garden.

CHICAGO, Sept. 18.-The six sec
tons Of the International Congress and
Exposition OF Refrigeration arranged
,their temporary organizations, pre-.
paratory to week Of discussion Of
the most modern means Of preserving,
conserving and transporting foods
The first day Of the congress was
devoted chiefly to a welcome by the
city officials and to the examination
Of the exhibits, which fiji the large
a.mpitbetatre at the Union Stock
Yards. The discussion and arguments
on the problems OF refrigeration be
gan today
The six sections Of the congress
are:
l. Liquid gases and units.
2. The design, construction, oper
alton and methods Of testing refrig
Grating machinery and insulating ma
terlals.
g. The application Of refrigeration
to foods for the purpose Of conserving
and preserving them
4. The use of refrlgerating appara,
tus in the industrial arts.
3. Consideration Of refrigeration
in railway and steamship transporta-
ton.
g. Consideration OF questions relat
ing to legislation and administration.
Or. Wiley's speech.
The cost of living and means of ] e.
ducing it were discussed by DR.. Har-
vey w. Wiley.
There never was a time he said,
when man was so well fed as at the
present. We do not have to look far
to see the causes Of the increased
cost of food.
First. people are eating better foods
than ever before, and second the pur-
CHASING medium-namely Colds rel
atively far more abundant than ever
before, hence the quantity OF food IL
will purchase is decidedly less. The
great staples, the cereals, however,
are not as expensive at the present
time as during the past.
For a days labor a man can buy
more wheat than he could 25 or 30
years ago II is the part of scientific
nutrition as we'll as social economy
to increase the quantity of cereals in
our foods and to diminish those nu
triments which are of less necessity
and of increasingly higher price.
"To my mind, 1t seems the most
important factor of the day is to
check the aggregation of men in the
cities and to encourage the distribu-
ton of the great industries where
men are employed.
The saloon has no compelling at
traction for the laboring man who,
after his eight hours of work. has
eight hours for his flower and vege-
table garden. If our productive indus
tries in a manufacturing line were
properly distributed, the alcohol evil
would be robbed of most of its ter
rors.
The unfortunate condition now eX-
lists of providing so-called fresh foods
in an advanced state OF staleness and
of providing foods which should be
properly aged in an immature state.
The cured ham is ready for distribu-
ton within three weeks of slaughter
and the four-year old whiskey is made
forty seconds.

The happiest man in the world is the man who ls having a good time and knows it. Too many people live not in the present, but in the past, from which they borrow cruel memories of mis- lakes or pleasant thoughts of pleasures now forever ended. If not this, they dream continually of the happy pOssi' bilities of the future and close their eyes to the joys that now surround them. This is exactly the case with many Alaskans. They have fsllen'into Che habit of thinbing, or actingas if they thought, that here they endure the tortures of bades, but paradise will come with their removal to the States, where street cars. automobiles, parks and theatres will, provide a never end- ing bliss that will not permit of pain. If that day comes to them, their minds will revert to Alaskan scenes and. they will long for the return of the gOodiold days spent in the North.

Again have Alaskan waters witnessed a terrible happening Again have the people of tha North suffered the loss of dear ones in the icy waters. When wintry winds conspire with angry seas Che danger of ocean travel is yell known. But how often have we been told that the wonderful "inside pas sage" is as safe as mill pond during Che summer months. The happening of Sunday, the 17th of August, proves this statement to be a lie. Sunday was beautiful day. Not cloud was in Che sky. The sea was placid and smooth. But the warm sunshine gave little cheer to the near two score who went down to their death in the cold waters. An uncharted rock is said to be Che cause of the disaster, and many are quick Co blame the government. And the government is no doubt to blame.
