ADVERTISED ARTICLES THE
BEST
ON the McRae Enterprise:

From the McRae Enterprise:
Not many months ago the editor Of
the Enterprise walked into store and
called for certain article of wearing
apparel. The clerk asked if this par-
ticular brand was desired or would a
substitute Just as good at a cheaper
price suit" We made it plain that we.
wanted the brand called for.
Our insistence brought on an ar
gument The clerk argued that the ar
tlcle called for cost more than the
substitute OF the same grade, stating
that the manufacturers had to CHARGE
a bigger price in order to pay for the.
advertising.
Now that is one of the poorest ar
guments anyone could put up. ANY
one who is at all familiar with up-to-
date merchandising knows that ad-
vertising not only insures quality bur
actually REDUCES cost of mannfac-
ture, and, of course, reduces the retail
price. The article that is well adver-
tised has a reputation to maintain I'm
the first place. else the money world
not amount to row of pins. The
public would soon "get on to it,, to
use common expression.
Manufacturers KNOW that adyer-
Using increases sales, and when sales
are increased that reduces the selling
price of the article manufactured. The
same thing holds good with the retail
er. If he spends large amount of
money building up a business he Is
not going to waste that reputation hy
selling you inferior goods. And as
advertising increases sales it likewise
reduces the cost of doing business
and you are thereby enabled to buy
goods of him at less than the non-ad-
vertising merchant will have to
charge.
Remember, Mr. Consumer, advertis-
INC DOES NOT raise the price of
goods, but on the other hand RE-
DUCES the price.

HOME PRODUCTION
MUST Be INCREASED

| Lordon, Feb 23.-Dav;d Lloyd
George, the British Prime Minister.
today presented to the House of Com
mons in a speech lasting an hour and
half his program for coping with
the problem of shortage OF shipping
space.
The speech was serious and grave
effort, the Premier giving his audience
little opportunity for enthusiasm and
endeavoring to concentrate attention
on the serious situation with which
the nations is faced, owing to the
| shortage of food stocks and the Ger
man submarine menace.
The Premier's program for dealing
with the situation was under two
heads, the first to increase home food
production and the second the cur
tailment of non-victual imports.
Under the first head Mr.. Lloyd
George outlined scheme for speed
Ing up the farmer by guaranteeing
him good prices for his commodities
over period of years, thus inviting
him to plow and SOW every inch of
available land. He announced that
the land owner would be actually for
ced to cultivate his land.
The speeding up of the 1esiurely
British farm laborer, who has been
regarded the poorest paid laborer in
England, was provided for by the
Premier by guaranteeing him mini
mum wage OF 2 shillings per week
instead of a to Is shillings.
Mr.. Lloyd George said he expected

by several million tons. Foodstuffs.
of which 100000 tons were import
ed last year, will be cut down nearly
million tons by looping off certain
luxuries. Paper users must get along
with only half the present supply.
thus saving $4,000 tons. Certain
savings also will be effected in the
import of ore, which now amounts
to 100000 tons annually, and in the
lumber, which is 100000 tons.
The Premier said it was necessary
to get as much work as possible out
OF the ship yards. Six million four
hundred thousand tons of timber had
been imported and if this was to be
saved the problem must be dealt with
The French government had placed
two forests at the disposal of Great
Britain and he was afraid France must
be asked for greater sacrifices.
The next heaviest item of import
is iron ore. Regarding this item the
Premier said:
"We are importing millions of tons
but the importation cannot be dimin-
ished unless more iron ore is found
in our country. There is plenty OF
low grade ore, however, in this coun-
try, and if the supply of labor can be
augmented we can increase enormous
ly our output The saving of tonnage
would be large, but unfortunately it
would come late in the year"
Farmers can increase even now by
hundreds of thousands Of tons for this
year" said Premier Lloyd George.
"the food supplies of the country If
all the plans are carried ont very
considerable quantity OF tonnage will
be saved but future tonnage is ur-
gently needed. The French ambassa-
dor has been here begging for more
ships and the Italian ambassador has
just left after making the same re-
quest. We need an immediate and
substantial saving of tonnage Let us
come down ruthlessly on imports
which are not essential. 1t is idle to

suggest that we who are comfortable
at home should not be prepared to
surrender the things unnecessary.
The Premier also announced that the
importations of books, periodicals and
other printed matter would be prohib-
tied entirely.

Giving Up Luxuries will

Labor Problem.

IOW Cdl IilS AIHSIlSdll Oahh'
ar aid the farmer in sustaining
the country through the WARP"
This problem is not a financial
one. 1t is lot a problem that the
bankers can solve. The news
can do, and are doing
more than anybody else to solve
it.
In the first place, it is a matter
of awakening the people to the
full seriousness of the problam.
That means the awakening of
producers as we'll as consumers.
Let us see how vital it is that we.
as a people, discharge fully our
obligation to feed ourselves and
our allies.
After this we must consider
principally the problem of man.
power, of labor.
We have had two years of great
industrial, activity. There have
been great increases in wages.
AS was inevitable, this has drawn
men away from the farms. You
tell the farmer today to raise
more crops and he will answer
you, Where am 1 to get the la
bor?'
The people who can best salts
fly this problem are those en-
ployed in producing unnecessary
things. "The'man who buys an
automobile has employed a large
amount of labor that might 9TH
erwise have been diverted. He
will continue to employ such la
bor-in the production of his tires
and gasoline and accessories: in
his chauffeur, if he has one.
If this one man would forego
the pleasure of his automobile he
would divert all that labor to the
production of things of vital i'm
portance. I use the example of
the automobile; the principle ap-
plies to the new suit of clothes
we do not need, to other innum-
cradle luxuries.
If you can induce the people to
think nationally instead of think
ing individually. "How can we
use those men to better purpose?"
then you are at the root of the
labor situation.
There is, | believe, in the minds
of some farmers the idea that if
they limit their crops they will
obtain higher prices for them. 1t
is, of course, a fallacious idea and
economically wrong 1t cannot
and will not persist.
But whether it should not per-
sist, great deal can be done to
increase production by means of
vacant4lot gardens. Here is ev-
cry mans opportunity, and every
woman's, materially to do their
bit. - By Frank A. Vanderlip,

every now and then from some Of our

that they need at the right prices.
We find upon investigation. that the
matter of meeting outside competition
has been carefully considered by the
various. trade organizations in the State,
and by their cooperation we are present.
ing you an illustration this week which
we feel proves that 50 far as these partic-
ular items are concerned that there is
every reason in the world why the home
merchant should be given the preference.
Please note that the Review is present
ing you this information in such way
that it's easy to compare and judge. We
are referring to this example because
we know that nearly all our merchants
can do likewise under the same terms
and conditions, but we find that foreign
corporations are not in it, while on the
other hand the home merchants have
not told the buying public that it is not SO.
We have adopted in the. interest of our
subscribers and New Ulm the policy
that the business Of this community be-
longs first, last and all the time to this
community and that there is absolutely
no reason why this business should not
stay at home and so we will present to.

by our different merchants, proofs as
illustrated in the rocker advertisement

and that after everything is said and
done the real prosperity Of New Ulm
depends upon the prosperity and wealth
OF this community and if every need
that this community develops is bought
in New Ulm, it will give us all the where
wlthal to do the things that will make
life worth living and more pleasant in
