LIVE WIRES ADVERTISE.

It is an interesting problem, in business
psychology to determine why people will 60 to
one store to trade rather than to another. 1t is
not wholly matter of the personality Of the
proprietor and his assistants, nor altogether of
the prices or the quality of the goods sold.
When person quits his home town and goes
off to trade somewhere else, he does not COM
mcnly buy the same article any cheaper. But
something in the distant place seems more al
Turing.
OF course the relation of store to the cost of
living is perhaps the biggest factor. Prices
come home closer to the modern family than
anything else. When woman reads that a
two-dollar shirt waist can be bought for one
dollar and thirty-three cents, nothing in the
newspaper interests her SO much If she gets
an idea certain place sells good goods cheapy,
she will patronize it, and she can't be pried
loose from it.
A great many stores win trade by giving an
impression that they have enterprise They
spread abroad the idea that they are the spirit
of hustle. There is nothing that the American
temperament values more than this. IF man
can give the idea that he is wide awake, live
wire, people like to do business with him. They
have confidence that he has been alert to get
the best values in the market, and can afford to
sell the same article cheaper
The American people have little use for mac
tivity. They care little for the businessman
who sits down and waits for trade to come to
him. They respect and have faith in the man
who gets out and hustles for business.
The one way to give this impression of enter
prise and hustle is to advertise in the daily
newspaper Personal solicitation from door to
door might accomplish the same result, only it
would cost twenty times as much. Circulariz
~ 4I,o J;c+r ;b,,+; ofb
Ineffective. The newspaper advertisement
gives the impression that the merchant who is
using that medium of publicity is hustling for
business, that he is wide awake and keen to
pick up the opportunities that are within reach
at the most favorable terms. The American
public likes to do business with that type of
man.

opposition was expected, but it will not prevent

MEXICO our WARD

We are at note writing again and
watchiully waiting on Mexico. This
government is going to preside at the
next move for the establishment of or
der in the land of the ancient Aztec as
sure as the sun shines. 1t will not
necessarily mean the annexation of
Mexico, but ours will be the duty Of
setting this disordercd house Alright.
1t has already become a necessity.
Civilization and commerce are de-
manding it of US. How long are we
going 10 delay the task?
War with Carranza could mean little
more than war with Villa. The one
can offer about as much organized re,
sistance as the other, and both could
do little harm
Setting up government in Mexico is
Humanitarian move almost as nee
essary as the maintenance OF good gov
eminent in our own borders. 1t is
physically 80 nearly part Of this
country. Mexico is commercially so
interlinked with American industry
that we suffer when that country ex-
periences internal disorders.
The sooner we satisfy the powers to
the south that government should
be established in Mexico and then go
about the duty, the sooner will all the
nations in the New World feel the
good effect. We violate no trust when
we take up this task. Mexico is our
ward, our disrupted close neighbor.
There is need of our assistance. 1t
may prove costly but it will be good
investment in the end to go and estab-
fish order and godo government. 1t
will stop the necessity of an army on
the border and place the commerce of
that country on safe footing.

REFLECTIONS OF a REFORMED

campaign. His letter follows:

imagined that in the preparation and

be stronger than Wilson. Lots Of other

than all his jackass followers; hence
hey one and all thought he was TO be
