Shortage OF Livestock


The grave shortage of live stock
as indicated by reports from prae-
tieally every market in the country
is giving much concern to food ad-
ministration officials The Denver
live stock market alone has received
to date this year, over 20. 900 head
OF hogs less than was received up
to the corresponding date, a year
ago The west is trifle worse off
in this respect than is the east. but
the situation is sufficiently alarm
ing throughout the nation to cause
fear of an impending meat famine.
The livestock growers are not in
clined to take chances of increas
ing their production in the face OF
what they consider an impending
possibility of declining market,
and, while the viewpoint of the
grower in insisting upon guaran-
ted price insuring fair profit is
fully recognized as just, it is never
the less held by those in authority
that there is little danger of falling
live stock prices, in fact, all indica-
tions point toward even higher
prices, especially In the event that
the war should end within a year
OF two.
Government, State and local all
thorities are uniting in movement
to insure increased live stock pro
duction and guaranteed mini
mum price for the production.

The Art OF Advertising

Edmund Burke was something OF
thinker as well as a writer and
orator. Also he was keen obser
ver Here is one of his sayings that
has been often quoted:
let us only suffer any person to-
tell lis his story, morning and eve
ming, but for one tWelve-months,
and he viii become our. master
When he struck off the epigrani,
Burke had no thought of the adver-
tising game, but he none the less
stated the psychology OF advertisS
ing in an unforgettable way. He
emphasized the law of iteration, the
law of appeal
Expert advertisers understand
this law and utilize it by tellingathe
story OF the excellence of certain

word or until the name OF certain
mercantile establishment comes to
the mind the moment any woman
thinks OF something she wants
that store can supply.
Wise merchants realize that to
secure response to offers they must
tell their story untiringly, and with
personal belief in it. The false note
is more quickly detected than sllod-
dy goods.
II in the telling of this story the
merchants grows weary of his task
the effect is lost He loses the
thread, and the readers lose contact
with it and their attention is divert
ed to other things. Such lost atten-
tion is difficult to regain. 1t must
be held, once it is secured, by con-
slant reiteration
A stores story must be told anew
with every new day. 1t is a story
abounding in new facts yet it is

He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.

at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.

state might be induced to raise their own 1eeo

err the odds the greater the incentive with him.
and he entered upon the work with enthusiasm
With staff of sixty men the campaign was
carried on for period of thirty-ive days, approx
matelv 1900 meetings being held in forty-nlne
different counties. covering the entire cotton Deit
of the state. The speakers were not eloquent
orators. They men who had given lnelI
lives to the study of agricultural problems ana
knew their subjects from A to z and back again
They pointed out to the farmer the folly Of buy
ing food and paying big profit to someone else
when he could just as we'll raise that food al
home and save this big profit. Likewise they told
him that if the farmer up North could raise grain
and beef and pork and sell them to the Southern
farmer at profit on lands valued at from 500 to
5000 an acre the Southern farmer could make
an even greater profit by raising these commod-
tiles for himself
According to the Little Rock chamber of COM
merce this campaign added $3O,74415O to the
value Of the agricultural products of Arkansas, a
fact which is proved by government statistics
But there were other benefits of that campaign
which are not so easily measured. This huge
Increase does not take into account the money
saved and kept in the state by the farmer who
raised his own food at home--1noney which in
other years had gone out of the state, never to
return. Nor does it take into account the fact
that by raising his own food the farmer enjoyed
a better living than ever before.
