aMany changes have already occur
red in our social life since the war
began, and many more will certainly
occur. No prophet is needed to fore
east that. The difficulty is in finding
a prophet who will tell us, with rea-
sonab,e certainty, what the character
of these changes will be.
1--WE know, for instance, that for
months and perhaps years to come we
are to be rid of a certain unpleasant
and useless kind of reformers. The
war, is big enough to lose these people
who are effective only in times OF
peace when people will stand for nag
cling and prodding. When a real job
is on hand, like the war, the demand
comes for sizeable men to take charge
like Edison, Schwab, Dawes, Lovett,
Peabody or other great executives.
The little reformers who have pecked
away at the body polite become
suddenly obscured. Nobody has time
to listen to their piping.
1.-THE type is very familiar. They
are fau1t-finders with no remedies.
They fret and stew or cry for some
thing to be done but never offer to
do anything. They r seemingly in
earnest, but they always place the job
on the other fellow. They e to
think their duty is done when they
plant themselves on a high pedestal of
morality and scold.

cannot have their own way. They
make discord in communities because
nothing ever suits them; they are

little gnats who are carrying their
singers concealed these days."

A BLESSING.

Many changes have been wrought
in the social and economic life OF the
country during the present WEI. The
petty grievances and selfish partisan
policies that were once in vogue,
seem to have died a natural death.
But the change which seems to be
the greatest blessing and which is
most Noticeable in our community, is
the muff]Gg and gagging Of the petty
reformer, whose bowls and kicks af-
fected none but himself.
In times like this, the people turn
a deaf ear to the whimpering of a
self-appointed community doctor.
They have more serious things to
think about.
Along this line, one of the leading

DOES ADVERTISING PAY?

Sears-Roebuck Company have just
closed a contract for 10000 tons or
SAC, 0e0,0 900 lbs. of catalog paper for
their 1917 trade. This paper alone,
figured at 2 cents a pound, which is
probably far less than it costs them,
e an outlay of 81, 900 for pa
per alone. Add to this the cost of
getting out the catalog and the mail
ing of the same and it will make an
norm sum that this one firm is
spending to get business that should
and would go to the country mer-
chants if these merchants would APP
ply some of the methods of this big
mail-order house. The country mer-
chant can not issue catalogs, but bet
ter than this, they can quote prices
and describe their goods to prospec-
tive customers each week by using
the columns of the local paper.

SENSIBLE ECONOMY

The millions now going into Wash

The sums subscribed to the Liberty
Loan will be put back into circulation,
and the more hands, each dollar passes

A free flowing stream can success

The worst policy we can pursue at
the moment is the boarding of in

press trade, discourage enterprise and
CuTLdll BUSINESS.
Support the retailer and his orders
will keep the factories busy, which in
turn will engage the dependents of
soldiers and sailors families, the
question of whose support is holding
an enormous number of their earners
from instant enlistment.
The responsibility of furnishing the
laborer with adequate opportunities
rests with the of his wares,
and a regularly received wage envel-

the receipts of butcher, baker, grocer
doctor, lawyer and landlord. Normal
buying protects everybody's interests
