ADVERTISED GOODS CHEAPER.
That. Advertising Helps Maintain Nor
NAL Prices is Demonstrated BY War

AANA - Ny "UA
The subject of the war situation and
advertised goods is being aptly con-
sidered in a series of editorials by J.
r. Hamilton in the Chicago Examiner.
Among other striking things pointed
out by this expert is that advertising,
rather than raising the cost of living,
is doing more to maintain normal con
ditions than any other force. MI.
Hamilton declares mot an advertised
product on the market hap yet raised
it's price"
This shows one thing: that the bust
resses that advertise pledge them
selves to keep faith with the people.
They are not nameless like the dealers
IL raw products who have nothing to
lose. They have spent their money
to create a good name and they are
wise enough now in this crisis to main
tain it.
If ever the public had a good lesson
in advertising, that lesson is being
taught today.
Practically every unadvertised store
has raised it's prices while practically
every advertised store is keeping faith.
Some of these big advertised stores
are actually selling their present stock
of groceries at lower prices than they
are buying their future stock. They
are paying more for their flour and
sugar than they are asking purchasers
TO pay.
And this applies to many lines. One
: great shoe manufacturer has just
turned down a European order for one
million pair of shoes at an increase of
81 per pair; because if he filled that
order he could not supply his own
trade at home and so would lose the
trade that his advertising has built up.
Another great advertiser of bread
is still selling the same sized loaf at
the same price, although -four in
creased in price the day the war was
| announced.
1t is a notable thing that your add
vertised baked beans,% your adver-
tised cereals, your advertised maca-
roni, your advertised drugs, toilet &C
! ~cessories," shoes, hosiery and clothes,
furniture, pianos and talking machines
have all maintained their regular
prices to you although the prices of
the raw materials that go into these
things have long since been fright
fully advanced.
These manufacturers and these
stores are practically the only ones
who have shown their willingness to
put their avarice behind them and to
play fair in these times of stress

THE A r LIFE NEEDS.
Mr.. Poe Says Rural Life Must be More
Attractive Socially and Financially.

Addressing the farmers at Concord,
Clarence H. Poe, editor OF the Pro-
gressive Farmer, had the following to
| say with reference to their needs:
In clear, strident tones which reach
co every listener, Mr.. Poe then spoke
fol about an hour. 1t was a straight
forward setting forth of fundamental
needs of North Cardinals farmers.
I~nterspersed throughout were many
humorous anecdotes of darky life.
North Carolina's prime need, said he,
Is to build up here a great rural civil.
zation. To accomplish this, we must
make rural life more attractive both
financially and socially. Necessary
for this are education, organization
and cooperation.
Despite the States progress in edu-
| cation in recent years, we must lot
be satisfied. In Japan-that suppos
eddy heather country to whose Chris
tianization Americans for years have
contributed-the speaker found ten
months school terms with SO per cent
Of the children enrolled. North Car
DINA must have longer terms and
more practical education. The day
should be past when q prospective
farmer a leave school versed in the
i~ntricaies of Greek roots and wholly
ignorant of the fundamentals of corn
roots, OF when he may graduate with
q thorough knowledge of a third cen
; ttury chariot only to be run down by
a twentieth century automobile. And
not only the young but the old must
be educated, through demonstration
work. In Denmark Mr.. Poe found
men 76 years of age in school. Ac-
cording to census figures of 1900 the
average farmer in the North Atlantic
States made $3.50 a year, and in the
South Atlantic States the average
was $4S9.
Need Organization.
There must be Organization, or drill
ing will of little value. And there
must be work, as the Irish sage said
who remarked that he didn't want
eco" without the Operate" Much
hard work must be done. The farmer
5hoHld take charge OF everything nee
essarily connected with his great task
CT supplying the world with the food
that it must eat and the clothes it
must wear. Cooperative purchases
of feed stuff, fertilizer and machinery
beyond the means OF a single individ-
Gal may be made as successfully CO.
| operative marketing. If in past years
the farmers had addressed themselves
to cooperative marketing they would
not now be routed by a sudden drop
in the price of cotton, for warehouses
would have been built to handle the
crop. A system of rural credits
something which practically every
other civilized country has-is badly
needed. Mr.. Poe made a plea, too, for
more attractive social conditions, adj
yocating that every school district In
the State cultivate a local pride
that will find expression In contests
for primacy in educational matters.
