The dealer who doesn't advertise

He saves the bother of talking with

He has plenty of time to improve
his mind by reading good books in

TALKS WITH THE BUSINESS MAN
BY NELs DARLING

BY NELs DARLING
7 JERE are a few "donts' to be observed in
1 writing newspaper advertising:
Don't give list of goods that are always car
ried in store of your kind, without giving prices
If you are in the dry goods business, people know
that you carry calcoes-the price is what inter

Don't run the same adv. week after week, but
change your copy at least every other issue
Don't twenty inches of space and try to

SCARCITY OF SEEDS

NNE of the most serious limitations we to
- the program for the increasing of our produc-
tion Of food stuffs in the United States, and par
ticuarly in this part of the country is the scarcity
and exhorbitant price of seeds of all kinds There
are great many of the people who cannot afford
to buy the seeds they really need to plant their
available land. One Of the best moves for pre-
paredness that we know of would be the assistance
of the farmers in some way to enable them to pro-
cure seeds.
1t is true that the government for number
of years has been in the habit of circulating
few Seeds but while this has doubt helped
little the supply in the hands of the government
has been entirely inadequate, and the system Of
distribution has been largely inefficient, for the
reason that more Of the seeds have gone to per-
sons not needing them than to those who did, as
a remembrance of political favors; then the sup
ply furnished each individual was merely enough
for experimental purposes, and would not enable
any farmer in times of stress and necessity to seed
any considerable portion of his farm.
What is needed is some system Of extending
credit to the farmer that will enable him to obtain
seeds and allow him until his crop is harvested in
which to return the money In Salt Lake City and
some of the more populous districts the banks are
trying to met this contingency and doubtless the
banks all over the country will do lot in this di-
rection. But the banks must have ample security
when they loan money, and cannot reach a lot of
the cases requiring aid. This is where the nation
al government should find way of meeting the
necessity, for every bushel of grain produced adds
just that much strength and support to the gov
eminent in times of war.

CONSUMPTION ADOPTED

A FTER rather lively debate and bitter oppo-
sition on the part of minority members the
United States Congress has adopted the Conscrip-
ton or Draft bill, which means that in recruiting
an army volunteers will not be called for, but the
recruiting officers, after being provided with in
formation as to the available men of military age
will select those best suited for the purpose and
whose circumstances are such as to permit them
to leave with the least hardship to those depend
ent upon them for support.
While we recognize that there is something
very noble about the man who voluntarily profers
his life if required to the good of his country we
believe that CONSUMPTION is by far the fairer and
better method to pursue, for while there are
great many men who would willingly respond to
their countrys CALL they are as likely to be those
who can least be spared from their posts as those
who are foot-loose and better able to CO. Again,
there are any number of young men who will go
into the army or navy cheerfully if their serv-
ices are actually required, who have no love for
mere soldering, and would not consider enlisting
unless they are actually needed Under conscrip-
ton they are relieved of this responsibility and
will go if called with the feeling that no matter
what comes they answering the demands of
their country and had no other alternative, where
as had they volunteered without knowing wheth-
er they were really needed not or wi sther they
were best able to answer the call d not if the
service should be found more trying than they
anticipated they would have been likely to enter
tain regrets of their enlistment
Viewed from every standpoint conscription APP
pears to us as the logical and equitable method
and we trust that when called upon for it's quota
of men, those selected will go cheerfully and with
the love and support of the communities from
which they are taken

THE HOME TOWN
BY NELs DARLING

BY NELs DARLING
no you own property in this town? Have you
- farm near this town? Is this your nearest
trading point? In other words, when you are
away do you call this your home town? If So,
you are vitality and materially interested in its
welfare.
Will this town live, much less gain wealth and
population? Statistics show that large number
of the towns of less than 10000 are going back
ward The future of this town is in the hands of
its citizens The towns that will live are the towns
that give service.
In twenty-five states the rural communities
have actually lost or failed to gain, proportion
ately, in population In Pennsylvania 1920 towns
have gone backward in the last ten years.
Draw circle with radius of ten miles around
each of forty-seven largest cities in the United
States Take census of the population and you
will find living within the confines of these cities
approximately 27,500000 people, or about one
third of all the people of continental United States.
They occupy one-twenty- thousandth part of the
entire area of the country.
The town of one thousand or over should be
the social, spiritual and commercial center for
the people within the radius of six to eight miles.
Are you trying to make your town such center?
A spirit of pride engenders pride few cit
liens of any community who believe in clean
streets, free from waste paper and empty tobacco
tins, can by precept and example create spirit
of civic pride in all the people that will make for
a clean town. A spirit of town loyalty exercised
by the really patriotic men and women of this
town will do wonders. Practice what you preach
Each one doing his or her part every day can
make this town of grass instead Of weeds of
flowers of cleaner streets, more pretty door yards
a town of larger and better stores, a town of loyal
endeavor born of knowledge Of the interdepend-
encies of all the people We can make this a still
better place in which to live and mighty hard
place to leave.

THAT'S BETTER

A GLANCE at the advertising columns of The
Record this week will reveal much health
Ter appearance than has existed for number of
months, at least. Our business houses have given
hearty response to our request of better patron
age and are showing that they are made of the
sort of material that appreciates effort and that
they are loyal to local institutions. 1t also shows
that they are enterprising and progressive, and
are deserving of the liberal patronage of the pub
lie. Not one dollar ought to be sent out of Cedar
City for the retail purchase of merchandise that
is carried by our local merchants; and not dollar
should be paid to outside for service that
is available at home 1t is only by patronzing
each other and encouraging local institutions that
any town is able to progress and grow
In the matter of location, natural resources
and other natural advantages, Cedar City is the
most richly endowed of any spot in the state, if
not in the entire Western country. She is going
ahead steadily and surey--she can't help that
but she can advance much faster if the people will
be united and all pull together to this end.
This is no place for knockers and persons who
hang back, Boosters are what are wanted, with
every one right in the collar doing his part
