for the selectmen to contract for 1900
tons OF coal to be used In the Municipal
fuel yard. with the prospect Of later
for another 1900 tons. The
price per ton at the mines will be
s445 and s4.75 and with the trans
portation. delivery and overhead ex
penses 1t is figured that the cost will
be about So per ton. delivered at the
houses The fact that the coal will
have to be sold direct from the cars
is made necessary, because Of the in
ability on the part Of the selectmen
to find a place at any point along the
track suitable for a yard, while the
location of q yard at accessible points
away from the train would increase
the price per ton considerably. Should
there be danger Of demurrage charges
from holding the cars loaded with the
product for too long a time. one Of
the local firms has agreed to take over
and handle the coal at a very small
profit, but no decision has been reached
as to whether such steps would be
taken in case demurrAge charges be-
came evident.

IL sides of the newspaper game

N IL sides of the newspaper game A\ are interesting, but one peep into z S the Advertising end of the game seems to me to prove that no other stands ghost of a show beside it.
 Now, I'm going to confess right at the beginning that I've got a ''prying' dis position and when hear of all the won derful things that an advertising cam paign" can do for a merchant natur- ally want to know the 'fns and outs'' of it, because I'm from Missouri as the saying goes, and you have got to show me-"
 So I got very much interested recently in an advertising campaign" which the service department of The Age Herald has been conducting for one of BirminS- hams high-grade institutions, the firm of Orr & Roberts, which has converted this business from an everyday, ordi- nary credit businesss' to cash busi- ness, which has more than doubled it's receipts, as the figures in the case show.
 From this "nosing" into affairs I have found out some very remarkable things, the main one of which is that the fool ish ostrich who thinks that it is safe from the pursuer if it hides it's head in the sand, is very like unto the foolish business man who thinks he can save money by cutting down advertising or, worse still not advertising at all.
 Ever since the people of this country began to worry about the war and neg lected their own business, as some busi- ness men have done, there has been a disposition on the part of a few business people to curtail their expenditures for advertising and it has proved to be mistake; for it is more important to ad- vertise now than it ever was before, be- cause there are so many people who have more money now than they've ever had, as the result of the war-agents, manu- lecturers, contractors, dealers in war supplies, and workmen in the big muni- tion plants, and if the people who have things to sell want these people to spend their new money they must advertise and let them know what they've got to sell.
