GOVERNMENT URGED
TO FIX FOOD PRICES

Immediate creation Of a Federal
Food Commission with power to FIX
prices and TO supervise marketing
and distribution Of food in the Unit
ed States during the war was pro-
posed formally by the National
Agricultural Society.
AT an agricultural mobilization"
convention the society adopted reso-
buttons recommending this and 9th
or measures to meet d threatened
food shortage, including increased
food crop acreage, an amendment of
wheat milling laws and liberal
encouragement of sheep raising.
The convention was called to aid
the Administration in solving one of
the most serious problems with
which it is faced in the conduct Of
the war. The prospect of short
crops is giving great concern to
officials not only charged with the
responsibility of seeing that Ameri-
ca is fed, nut keeniy aware, TOO, OF
the fact that this country in
large measure must supply the
other countries fighting Germany.

The TRUTH ABOUT
ADVERTISING

Well, let's see,
You say you must have some
rare bargain to offer. But, having
chat bargain, WHY do you adver-
tiseP Is it merely to sell the special
articleS And do you, in your heart,
realize that you can't sell it with-
out advertisingi And again, WHY
do you want to sell itH Is it be-
cause there is profit for you in
the saleY If so, it can't be such
great bargain.
Now just be frank and admit
that your "great bargain" is itself
nothing but an ADVERTISEMENT.
Let us look at the matter in this
way: Suppose you are clothing
merchant. You pick up job lot
that you get at real sacrifice.
You find that by eliminating most
of your legitimate profit you can
sell those suits for about what
your competitor can buy them for.
This you do, and the goods are
sold with rush. But if you knew
that none of these customers would
buy anything but the suits, would
you offer them in this way9 NOT
ON YOUR LIFE? They would
stay in your store until you sold
them at the regular figures. The
truth is, you have made of them a
leader by which you hope to benefit
in other lines and in future dealings.
To sum up the matter, you have
carried TWO ads-one, the sacri-
flee of your legitimate profit on a
lucky purchase; the other, the add
vertising in order to sell your regu-
lar line. And for WHAT? Frank
ly, to attract an indirect custom in
all lines, from which you hope to
benefit.
And you were correct in your
Judgment, so far as the one in
stance is concerned. But you are
DEAD WRONG in limiting your ad-
vertising TO such instances. Tou
admit that, after counting the cost
of the ads and the sacrifice of
profits, you have cleared scarcely
anything on the bargain suits, and
that your only hope of profit lies in
the advertisement your business
has received.
The plain truth is, no merchant
would think of advertising special
or bargain lines if he knew that
his customers would confine their
purchases to these lines. 1t is dhe
indirect advertising by which he
hopes really to benefit. And this is
the secret of all advertising that is
successful. The live wire business
man is constantly on the alert to
get his wares to public notice. A
drive in one line is always utilized
to attract attention to other lines,
and the process forms, as it were,
an endless chain of interlocking
causes and effects.
And, just as no merchant ex-
poets to reap his full profits on any
one line of bargains, just so no
shrewd business man expects to
reap the full returns in single in
stance from any line of advertising.
1t is only through the cumulative
effects of persistent advertising
that he hopes to-and does-bene-
fit. An ad today may develop re-
suits months hence and in altogeth-
er different lines. In fact, this is
frequently the case.
The business world furnishes null
titudes Of instances where seem
ingly proftless advertising has de-
veloped results long after the adj
vertiser has forgotten the circum-
stance.
This is a basic truth that is
recognized by all Of the masters of
advertising. Not one of these ex-
poets any one concrete case to re-
| turn a due promotion of prohts.

in AN AUTO WRECK
ON WEDDING TRIP
Norman Fletcher, Bride and Father
Are Injured
Struck by Fast Electric Car on
Crossing At Victor, NV.

Norman A. Fletcher Of Brdport and
his bride of few weeks, who was Miss
Leno Needham of Orwell, and his
father, Thomas w, Fletcher Of Brid-
port were victims of a serious automo-
mobile accident near Canandaigua, N.
y, last Friday,
The young couple, in a car driven
| by Mr., Fletcher, Sr,, were returning
from a honeymoon trip to Niagara
Falls, The accident occurred at Victor,
N. Y, about 10 miles south of Roches-
ter, and few miles north of Canaan
daigua, The wedding party had left
Buffalo early Friday morning and were
passing through Victor at about
o clock that afternoon when they met
with their accident.
A mile west of Victor village is bad
crossing Of the road and trolley tracks.
1t is known as the Swamp Road
Crossing, A swamp, high grown with
marsh grass and weeds cuts off good
view Of the tracks. Mr. Fletcher, a
stranger to the region, drove onto the
crossing, evidently not realizing the
danger from an approaching Rochester
and Eastern electric car. His automo-
bile was struck and hurled over into the
ditch, badly damaged, and the occupants
all thrown out and hurt.
The electric car that had struck them
was followed by another, which took
the injured people on board and backed
to Victor village where DR.. w. b.
Clapper was called to give them first
aid They were then taken on the car
to Canandaigua and to the Frederick
Ferris Thompson hospital.
1t was determined at the hospital
that Norman Fletcher was apparently
the most seriously hurt, having sus-
tanned internal injuries which were
suing from the mouth. His bride re.
ceived fracture of the pelvis. painful
injury but not serious beyond the fact
that it will keep her in the hospital for
month or more, while the groom's
father, Thomas Fletch r, was found to
have two broken ribs and some body
bruises
A later letter received from Mrs.
Norman Fletcher, states that she is
suffering but little pain but that it will
be four weeks before she can leave the
hospital. Norman Fletcher suffers con-
siderable pain. Three x-rays have been
taken which disclosed no internal injur-
les save that the muscles of the interior
of his stomach were badly strained, 7.
W, Fletcher is up and about the hospital
though still suffering somewhat from
hil broken ribs and bruises
Mr.. and Mrs. Norman Fletcher were
married October the Sth of this month
at the brides home in Orwell, and they
have been planning to make their home

BOND SALE $4,000
UP TO NOON TODAY
Last Day But One, For Joining
in Second Loan
We Are stu Far Short Minimum
Your Country Calls on YOU

lRhN Wv ' - ~
The local committee for the Second
Liberty Loan, including John A.
Fletcher chairman, c, h. Pinney, and c.
|. Button, have been vigorously pushing
the solicitation of subscriptions the past
week and The National Bank of Middle
bury reports that the total for this center
stood $751; 900 at noon today. Though
still short OF the minimum, which is
Sl45, 600 the committee feel much has
been accomplished, yet hopes that be-
fore the close of the banks doors to-
morrow there may be a stampede of
those who have, until the last minute,
failed to realize the urgent need of
every man, woman and child needing
their country's call.
The committee as last appeal has
sent out circular which reads in
part:
"The greatest war in the world 5
history is being waged and our country s
future is at stake. For its success, we
have pledged our lives, our fortunes and
our sacred honor. The call comes this
week that we loan our money to our
government at per cent semi-annual
interest to be secured by second Liberty
Loan bonds, backed by every dollar of
property in the United States. For the
sale of these bonds, Addison County
has been divided into four districts to
correspond with its four banks. You
live in the territory served by the
National Bank of Middebury. This
territory is expected to loan to the
National Government not less than
$l45, 600, and if possible $239, 900. That
is a lot of money. We do not need to
assure you that it calls for every dollar
every person can spare-$50 for every
man, woman and child in the Nation.
Will you not take what you can of these
bonds by subscrip ton reported to the
National Bank Of Middlebury, which
will furnish you with blanks on request,
not later than Friday of this week, and
will you not ask as many of your neigh
bors as you can to do the same?
This is the safest investment in the
world 1t affords a splendid opportunity
for the investment of trust funds as
well as for our own savings. On the
otfer hand, what will our money be
worth to us, if we withhold it from the
Government and lose this war;"
