The habit of reading newspapers

ern themselves, alert, informed,

but half the governmental machin-
cry that people would were they in
the darkness of ignorance without
single paper to shed a CLEAN OF
intelligence. The paper is the great
est force for any cause that you
can think of and so much is this
true that the expression "The power
Of the press" has long ago passed
into axiom. The early fathers of
this republic recognized this power
so well that it was decided at the
early stages of the history of the
nation to forever let the press Of
the country stay unmuzzled and the
wisdom of this is being demonstrate
ed daily.

THE LOW COST OF
SIMPLE LIVING

Instead of wailing about the
high cost of living we should
study the low cost Of simple living.
While prices have advanced, so
have wages, but the highest advance
of all is in the standard of hv-
ing and the demands of the public.
New York is looked upon as an
expensive city in which to live, and
yet in New York you can get a
meal consisting Of fruit, dish of
baked beans, a cup Of cocoa, two
thick slices Of bread and piece
of butter for 10 cents. For ID
cents, ham, potato salad, an apple,
glass of milk, and bread and butter
are served. This is at the Peoples
Kitchen, made possible by the
philanthropy of Mrs. William K.
Vanderbilt, Jr., and Mrs. James A.
Burden, Jr. Despite its low price
it was soon on a paying basis.
What the Peoples Kitchen has done,
every progressive woman ought to
be able to do in the home. Elk
pensive cuts OF meat are desirable
if one can afford them, but some
of the cheaper parts contain more
nourishment. With the great var
iety of foods uffo:H. the market, one
is able to secure a well balanced
diet at comparatively small cost.
Stern necessity has compelled the
people of the warning nations to
seek substitutes for costly articles
Of diet, and to cut down expense
in every conceivable way. Living
in an extravagant era we have
been the most prodigal people on
earth. If, instead Of finding fault
with high prices, we cultivate a
simpler habit Of life, the problem
would be largely solved.

APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE

When a farmer finds certain
crop is less profitable than an
other, what does he do7 When
merchant finds certain goods are
more saleable than others, what
does he do7 Both the farmer
and the merchant, if they are pos
sessed of average common sense,
push the things that produce
profit, and very naturally prosper
where the man of one idea based
on what his predecessors did will
stick to his idols and drag out a
weary existence. Apply this illus
tration to states and taxation and
see what follows. The states that
have stuck to the Anticipated gen.
eral property tax and insisted on
working the same old fields and the
same old goods over and over have
Jagged in the procession, while
those with foresight and fore
thought have found it profitable to
drop some of the old ideas and
try new fields Of operations and
new sources Of revenue to their
satisfaction and profit. Why should
Kentucky close her eyes to their
existence and keep working on
the obsolete ideas of her forbearsf
The general property tax has
been worked to a FRAGILE, and
the only plan its advocates have
to offer is to work it some more,
instead of recognizing its in
adequacy and striking out a few
new fields, the plea is still for
so-called uniformity when there
is no uniformity left.
Let us initiate the progressive
merchant and change our crops and
order some new goods to attract
the investor and increase our
revenues. The opportunity is open
and the result assured. Stop the
cant about uniformity when every
body knows it is a myth. AS long
as adjoining lands in the same
county and adjoining counties in
the same state, a thoroughbred bull
in one field and another in calling
distance are variously valued at the
within of the assessors, there is and
can be no uniformity, and we need
a change and need it badly.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1916-02-09
JUST THE NEWSPAPER

"The newspaper of today is a
better college than Abraham Lin
coin had-just the newspaper
Billy Sunday.
And the renowned evangelist was
correct. The newspaper is the peo-
pies college. 1t is doing more to
educate the people generally than
all Of the schools, all of the colleges,
all of the universities the world
over. In it is information all in
form that even the most careless
cannot but take in. Read a paper
twelve months, not irregularly, not
systematically, but regularly, and
see what you have learned in that
time, the amount of information you
have CLEANED; see how you have
kept step with the progress Of the
ages, how you are abreast Of the
times, with the happenings of the
world at your fingers end each day.
The newspaper is the great dissipa-
tor of ignorance. Before it CLEANS

Nearing every farmer, no matter
how independent financially, de-
ponds to a certain extent upon his
credit system. And this is as it
should be. He markets his crops
as a rule in considerable guam
titles and collects a large amount
Of money at one time. After pay
ing his debts, he usually places
the balance out on interest or
makes profitable investment. If
he were compelled to pay cash
for everything he buys, he would
have to keep a good deal of this
money on hand, which would make
il vslueless as far as definite
earning capacity is concerned.
Under the modern credit system
the merchant is really the farmers
banker, the main difference between
him and the professional banker
being that the latter requires
profitable interest on money loaned,
while the dealer charges nothing
for his banking service and does
not even demand security, In this
he probably deserves no special
commentator; it's just good bust
ness. Our whole business and
commercial system is founded on
an elaborate credit basis, and,
because of the comparative scar
city Of money, it would be impos-
sible for all business to change to
strictly cash plan.
+ The rural credit system has
proven necessity. Anything
that injuries it is bound to vitality
affect the farmer. Yet occasion
ally it is missed. For instance, a
man buys during the intervals be-
tween harvests at the local stores,
on credit. Then when he sells
his products and is supplied with
cash, he sends away from home
for his merchandise. is this
treating the local merchant, who
has in effect served as his custom
er's financial hacker during the
whole year, fairly and squarely7
Not only is it wrong from an
ethical viewpoint, but eventually it
is bound to undermine the very
rocks on which the rural credit
system is built.
Many customers do not appre-
ciatel the value of this credit, and
many merchants have therefore
changed to a cash basis. They
observe that the consumer is will
ing to pay in advance when pur-
chasing from the catalog houses,
and they figure that is the way
people prefer to buy. 1t is GER
tainly more convenient for the
dealer. The mail order houses
seem to thrive on this basis. They
all demand the money even before
they permit an inspection of the
! goods. They take it for granted
that they, themselves, are honest,
but are "from Missouri" when it
comes to sizing up the consumer.
As for accommodating a customer
during hard times, it is only nee.
essary TO send an order to them
without accompanying it with
the cash, to see what a courteous
refusal comes back.
The merchants OF Mt. Sterling,
the merchants of any community
for that matter, do not ask for
the patronage of the consumer
unless they can serve him better
than, and as cheaply as, any other
distributor from whom he might
buy. They ask for patronage on
no other basis. Money for charit-
able purposes should be given in
the spirit of aims and not in the
spirit of business. There is com
munity benefit in keeping the
money at home, but the man who
buys simply on that basis gem
orally has an unusually well de-
