The managing editor was forced to admit that it was a good page, for he assigned 1t to me, and he had to back his judgment; but confidentially don't think he read it; if he did he is not as strong with me as he was when he threw me the cue to go to it.
 Gus Douglas, the boy who looks after the meal ticket end of this de- partment, thinks it was fair, and Gus ought to know, for he has to see the boys every week and they tell him what they would not dare tell me, for they have compassion.
 Anyhow, fellows, give me a lift every once and a while, and then we will get the cut-out open yet.
 PAIGE ASCENSION JULY 15
 All of you guys that have a weak spot for the Paige car had better lamp this over:
 Paige prices will be advanced on July 15."
 Now, there are many of you who have been hankering for one of
 
 many moons and suns, and are right up to the snorting pole now and, believe me, it is time to snort, before you take cold feet.
 The factory has penned Law renee Pennington, local dealer, these sad words, and much as they hate 1t the old ascension must take place. Scarcity of material has limited the production of these cars, says the proxy of the Paige Detroit organization, and they must also meet the salary limit in order to continue to play in the big tops and this, they declare, they are going to do when they say: "The Paige will always rep resent a preferred investment. Its actual cost in dollars and cents will always be an important but an altogether secondary consider ation."

TRIES TO MAKE PURCHASE

B. M. Stone, recent addition to the motoring world, speaking from Greater Birmingham standpoint, is a rather determined person. He got this young automobile and then it was up to him to decide what he was going to do with it-and right away he said, run the durn thing or know why'' And here is one of the things that he did:
 Oozing up Twentieth street in an attempt to steer the frisky little fivver to the barn for the night, as it was along towards the shank of the evening, he decided that he would like to swap the smoke of the gas burner for little clear Havana, so he twisted the steering wheel towards Greene's drug store, and reached with his left hind foot for the thing-erma- dodger that stops the engines ath- letic work. But his foot evidently was asleep when he gave 1t the mental suggestion to bear down on the brake. and settled on the wrong thing, and instead of even hesitating, the fiivver climbed over the curb and headed into the soft drink end of the pill foundry. At the same time B. M." got a bit excited over knock ing down the Empire building. and nlS Knee leaned HedNAy dSdlIlSt tHo fuss instrument attached on the side of the car, and here he went footing and buzzing right into the side door of the pharmaceutical emporium. The track was clear in jiffy, for no mat ter how brave man is, he does not want the stigma of being run over by a 4d, so seeing that he could not connect with the cigar stand without mixing up few plate plass fronts with the transaction, ''B. M" steered the critter back into the street, and eased the juice to it. homeward bound, but cigarless.
 few minutes later he appeared in the cigar store and bought his smoke. and was recognized by the vender of nicotine.

Advertising That Moves Goods.

The merchants greatest labor-saver
is not necessarily cash register or
an adding machine. 1t is more likely
to be advertising.
A great factor in the cost of goods
is the time it takes to move them.
Advertising and trademarks, working
together, are the most efficient NOV
ers Of goods consequently the great
est reducers of selling cost.
When you handle a non-advertised
and untrade-marked article of limited
sale, you pay interest on the money
that is tied up in the goods that move
slowly, and you pay the greater pro-
ducing cost incident to limited out
put. You may pay either in increased
price or in lowered quality-but you
pay.
Trademarks are the John Han
cocks" of business. The producer
who places his John Hancock on his
goods and advertises it nationally, is
so sure of their quality that he is
willing to stand the full force of pos
sible complaints.
The whole tendency of trademarks
and national advertising is to raise
qualities and standardize them, while
reducing prices and stabilizing them.

"Raise more cattle or eat less beef"
This is the word sent out from Wash
ington by the federal department of
agriculture. The government points
out that, whereas the population Of
the United States has increased a.
100000 in the last Is years, the pro-
duction of beef cattle has fallen off
more than 100000 in numbers. In
the same time sheep have increased
only 100000. After all, in the final
analysis, the high cost of meat, as in
many other of life's necessities, may
be laid in part at the door of extrava-
CANT tastes. Our trouble is no more
in over-consumption or under-consump-
ton than in over-luxurious living.
Tender lamb and veal appetites can
not be appeased without paying the
price. "Raise more cattle and eat
less beef" is good as far as it goes,
but it doesn't go far enough. "Slaugh-
ter less calves and develop less lux
urious tases' might we'll be added.

rails, and overhead costs. Though
crude-rubber prices are high, it is
said to be the rising charges for
fabric that will make the advance
certain. The article is, in part, as
follows:
"The 1917 crop of Egyptian cotton
cannot possibly get into the mills of
the American tire makers before the
middle of January, 1918. The crop
of American cotton, only small guam
titles of which are employed by the
tire makers, together with the Sea
islands, will not be available until
the middle of October, 1917. Between
the cotton field and the tire factory
intervenes long period of season
ing, spinning, conditioning and weav-
ing, and quite apart from the ques-
ton of supply, as relating to guam
tity and quality, the labor and mate
rails situation calls for readjustments
Of their own affairs by the interme-
date crafts. So far as the fabric
question alone is concerned, there
fore, it looks as though there were
no relief in sight for at least two
years.
''The labor cost in tires is up about
1917 per cent, while in the same Pc
riod the average price of materials
has advanced more than 30 per cent.
Overheads have risen 25 per cent
also, making an average of about 25
per cent advance in the total cost of
the tire, despite the employment of
the most rigid economies.
"Due to these economies, however,
particularly those made in the way of
revising, selling and distributive sys-
TENS, the actual advance to be made
will have to absorb only a part of
the total increase in cost of manufac
ture. For this reason it is probable
that about Is per cent will mark the
average advance in lists.
Given so, it is not unlikely that
some of the small companies will
have before them an exceedingly per-
picking problem when present mate
rial stocks are depleted and it be-
comes necessary to replenish them
at prevailing prices. The pinch is
likely to be felt during the last six
months of next year, although even
today it is not possible to purchase
tire materials at anywhere near the
market ranges of year ago.
"The association of rubber and
tires has always seemed so close
that it will come as surprise to
most of those who deal in tires to
find that rubber itself has been rele-
gated to second place. While today
rubber rules around IS cents, with
the future expected to bring it even
lower, this does not promise much
relief, for in any event it will not
compare with the advances in Sea
island and Egyptian cottons, which
even now are selling in the neighbor-
hood of $1.2O. Interruptions in ship
ping, due to submarine activities in
the Mediterranean and elsewhere, and
other considerations, practically make
certain continuance of high prices
for this material, at least while the
war lasts"

If you do no advertising, in way
you advertise yourself as unprogres-
sive. In other words, no advertising
is still advertising but not the sort
that helps business. The returns
from advertising do not come on a
basis of "The more you spend, the
more returns you get" Returns are
based on the quality rather than on
the quantity of the advertising.
