Support Your Town Paper.

Says the Trade Outlook: "The best
index of town is its newspaper.
If we were a wholesale merchant just
entering trade, the first move of the
credit department would be to secure
the newspaper of every town, note
the advertising, progressive and non
progressive spirit of its merchants
and base information on impressions
thus secured.
where town showed notable
lack of progressive spirit, had more
mail order advertising in its news
paper than of its local merchants, no
matter what Dunn or Bradstreet had
to say, their rating would be dollars
minus to us. 1t would be clear that
mere business was going away from
that town than was good for it, and
a lack of cooperation between the
local merchant and its newspape' was
The cause.
1t is high time retail merchants i'll
the smaller cities and towns were rea-

This particular fact Is demonstrated

when they are carried out to sell. The
general rule also applies to lloaung
bodies. For instance, ship with d
cargo on the sea will sink sometimes q

On the other hand, If she leaves Il fresh

when entering the ocean. So a ship
may be loaded apparently too much at

In building a dam the fact Of salt

be taken into consideration. and the
