The other day a merchant said he
could not afford to advertise in his
newspaper. If the mans view were
not distorted, he would see that he
couldn't afford not to advertise. Re
fusing to advertise is his most ex-
pensive extravaganza. That same
merchant will spend hours telling of
the unfair" competition of the mail
order houses who are his most ag-
gressive and dangerous competitors.
yet the methods employed by the mail
order houses which succeed are the
very ones which the merchant refuse
to use. The mail order house first
of all is an advertiser. Advertising
is the life of its business. Every mag
azine that enters the small town and
rural home carries the ad of the mail
order house. Expensive catalogs are
printed showing the illustrations of
the actual articles. Occasionally
sheets are scattered broadcast over the
country as a special "come-on" for the
bargain hunter. Instead of doing these
things in a smaller way through the
columns of his local paper, the .mer-
chant who can't afford to advertise
sits down and "cusses" his tough
luck and wonders why he can't get
the business. He never thinks he has
o better opportunity to reach the peo-

The administration cut the bottom
out of our revenue system. /. then
built new pipes from the pockets Of
citizens to the national till Through
one, carrying the income tax. it was
expected that the eXchequer could
be kept filled. But the exchequer was
a dismal failure. So the second was
constructed, and through it flow the
war taxes. Yet still the intake is not
equal to the outgo. There is a de-
fciency, really collosal deficit.
That deficit appears in cold figures
in the governments reports. The other
deficit, far more vast and awful in
its effects, is the unmeasured deficit
in the pockets Of citizens throughout
the whole country, deficit occasion
ed by the Reputation of the fiscal pol
icy on which the prosperity Of many
Of our greatest industries was based.
The governments income has been
unequal to its outlay. That reflects
the situation in which thousands, even
millions, of citizens have found them
selves. Congress legislated the ma
tional treasury into a stringency; it
forced that same stringency into the
pockets of more than half the popu-
lation.
1t is current gossip that the war
will carry President Wilson into an
other term. On the contrary, free
trade will carry him into u defeat as
emphatic as was his success in 1912
Prosperity is something the American
people must have. They are not en-
joying it, although millions and mil
lions of foreign gold has been poured
into the country. This indicates how
horrible conditions were, how hopeless
Of actual betterment without a return
to the wise policy under which the
national wealth had doubled and re
doubled.
For the one lesson that he who runs
may read, the one sure conclusion to
be reached from the experimentation
Of the last three years, is that of all
our economic policies protection is the
most essential and important. 1t will
be years before the nation will ever
again vote against it or the people
fail to mass themselves in its sup
port.

Snow fell last winter to a depth Of
over three feet in the upland districts
OF Athol and Strathtay, and on several
sheep-grazing holdings 1t was impos-
sible to gather the sheep herds. In
enc case shepherds dog successfully
located a sheep which got enveloped
In large wreath. The dog scraped
away the snow, disclosing the pres

full this season the stock of roots

You'll meet an ugly giantess
Called Curiosity;
Her neck is fifty cubits long,
And plant like hose;
A horrible, sharp pointed prong
Does service as her nose.
Her body's shaped-'twill cause sur

Just like q question mark,
And with two little gimlet eyes
She sees when it's pitch dark;
She towers above the trees so tall
When upright she doth stand,
Like gentle Alice, you'll recall,
In haunted Wonderland.
A lovely child she once was, at
The age Of Eta May;
She poked her nose in matters that
Concerned her in no way;
So, mind you your own affairs, nor let
Your prying self o'erdo,
Lest curiosity should get

| London, May A.. England oday is di

"The entire Clyde shipyards may be
tied up because the men can earn enough
in three days to keep them in rum the

Union leaders admit that some OF the
workers drink and that because all in
dustries connected with the war are run
ming at top speed, men lay off as they
like, knowing if they lose one job they
easily can find another. But they say
this is confined to minority of the

say, is that officials and the bosses of
