PURCHASES WITHOUT SERVICE

Going farther and faring worse.
How truly this trite old phrase ap-
plies in buying home supplies. People
will pay car fare to some distant city
exhaust themselves with day Of shop
ping, waste valuable time, and return
with goods they could have bought
better at home. And they admit It.
Making a wise purchase is not sim
ply handing over your money to a
machine. You want some personal
service. You don't get that out of a
mail order house shipment, or from
some stranger clerk in distant de-
partment store.
On the contrary, the home merchant
and his clerks try to make sale that
will fit your needs. They give you
the benefit of their intelligence and
experience. They speak of defects to
be avoided and give information about
goods. In making this kind Of pur-
chase, you get service, something more
than the mere goods handed over the
counter. And if they don't fit, you
get satisfaction.

HIGH COST OF PAPER

The paper producers, in maintain
ing the present high prices, are really
placing tax on the distribution Of
intelligence, but perhaps the paper
maker may not be influenced by this
consideration.
There is another point directly af-
fecting his interest that he may well
consider. The existing prices are lead
ing publishers to use the cheapest and
coarsest grades. The public is being
educated to accept inferior stock in its
newspapers.
When the war is over and the causes
Of the high prices are removed. many
publishers will be likely to keep right
on using cheap paper, the public hav-
ing become educated to it. II is the
rule in all industries that inferior ma
terial produces the least profit. This
must hurt the paper trade. 1t would
seem good business for the producer
70 take care of the newspaper publish
er in the present exigency and give
him the lowest possible figures, rather
than drive him into corner and very
likely make him permanent user Of
the cheapest grades Of his product.

Suitable motto for non advertising

In old time wars people used TO
live by eating their shoe leather. In
the present war they live by issuing
long term bonds for their descendants

So far as heard from, the merchants
who didn't advertise did not complain
about overwork during the recent hol-

parents much. They were schooled
in making economies. 1t was second

II was conservation of resources,
and they attended to it seriously and

the most appe6zing relishes and con-

OF course some people can't afford

NAVY DEPARTMENT
INFORMED OF THE
RAIDERS PRESENCE

Washington, April THE navy de-
partment learned today of q strange
craft off Nantucket light.
The department would not give out
the time the vessel was seen, or from
what sources the department received
its information.
Her nationality is not as yet known, :"
it was officially stated.
That Germany may stage something
spectacular against America within the
next few days-such as repetition
of the U-53 act--was the confident be-
lief of some officials today.
NAVY ON THE LOOKOUT.
The navy, however, can be said to he
on the full lookout for just such moves.
Everything is being done to check up
on Germany's moves. Lighthouses and
lightships have been mobilized with the
navy and ordered to report any suspi-
cious incidents along the coasts.
The Nantucket shoals light reported
that a vessel had passed there headed
westward. The department explained
that the report meant that the light
keeper did not recognize the vessel and
that he regarded the ship as suspicious.
Secretary Daniels admitted he is in
vestigating the situation. though he
would not go into details as to what
steps were being taken.
The navy department has received
reports, not official, that a raider also
is off the Virginia capes.

GERMAN U-BOATS
ENGAGED BY MANY
MERCHANT SHIPS
Sixty nine Encounters Since
Feb. l Reported by Lord
Robert Cecil, the British
Minister of Blockade.

London, April 7.-More than 60 COM
bats against German submarines have
taken place since Feb. Land 30 of
these in the period from Feb. 81 to
March Lord Robert Cecil, minister
Of blockade, stated today.
His statement was evoked by ques-
tion from the United Press suggesting
that he outline for Americans what he
thought the problems of the day were
in the submarine menace.
Several points stand out strikingIy
in the German submarine blockade"
he said. 1T is confession of weak
ness and sign that the Germans have
really abandoned all hope of obtaining
successful issue in land war.
JUSTIFY ANY MEANS.
Il will not speak of the aspect of the
campaign of brutality in this warfare.
1t is not new from Germans. Any
means are justifiable to maintain the
greatness of that state and impose its
will on the rest of the world.
1T is that spirit we are fighting; 1t
is that doctrine which we must de-
stroy If we wish durable peace.
Like all bullies the Germans are
fondest of attacking those who can't
defend themselves. Unarmed neutral
merchantmen are just the sort of tar
gets that a German submarine hero
really likes.
TELLS OF CoMBATS.
THE submarine menace is not near
ly as bad as it sounds.
Il am authorized to state, by the ad-
miralty, however, that between Feb. 81
and March there were 20 combats be-
tween British ships and submarines
Remember that from Feb. to Feb.
81, Sir Edward Carson announced not
less than 40 combats had taken place,
