The VOLUNTEER TYPE

The house made a, mistake yesterda,
when 1t voted against permitting Theo-
dore Roosevelt TO raise 10000 volun-
teers for service in France There is
not the slightest good reason why lead

would flock to serve under him should

the country needs soldiers and leader

and duty the better the soldier. We

Also, those who condemn the yol,n

stop there. A sneer at the volunteer

soldier in history and wtll ever he so

it is the badge OF high honor and

OUTLOOK FOR DIsTlLLERs.

Midas Criterion, leading spokespa-
per of the whisky and wine trade, very
sensbly tells the distillers that PRO-
hibition future does not look so dark
after all-and incidentally deals n blow
to the compensation plea. We are glad
to pass on this optimistic view, be-
cause once assure the distillers that
they will lose no money through prohi-
bition and we shall hear no more from
them about personal liberty" Says
Midas:
"In the next five years there will be
an average of not under 100000 motor
cars in the United States. With eight
miles to the gallon for fuel and 30
miles average per day would equal
four gallons OF fuel per day per car,
or 20,000,000 gallons per day total, with
n total of 7,000O00,Oo0 gallons per
year. Add to this 100000 motor trucks
averaging 10 gallons per day, we would
have 1750,000000 gallons more, or a
total of S,750,000,O00 gallons of fuel for
the year. This would certainly tax the
capacity of every distillery I'm the land,
and, besides, denatured alcohol for fuel
does not require $1.10 per gallon tax
from the government"

THE HOME TOWN
BY NELs DAZZLING


7 KNOW of farmer living near town in lii
nois who refused four hundred dollars an acre
for his land His is good farm and yet there is
Just good and productive land in the Nile River
Farms in that locality practically off the mar
ket. Why? Because of their approximity to a
real, wide-a-wake thriving town. That town has
excellent schools, modern churches, stores that
are up-to-date and that are giving service.
The people appreciate these stores-they pat
ronize them. They are run by men who know
how to buy right, sell right and advertise They
meet competition through correct methods. If
some customers wish cheap goods that are not
quite up to the standard, at low prices, these mer-
chants furnish them Just that kind of merchan-
disc. If they haven't the article in stock they
send and get it, They tell the truth about their
merchandise When they advertise twenty per
cent reduction SALE they put it on. Everybody is
treated with courtesy and all made to feel
that their trade is appreciated These stores are
giving service. That word service is a summary
of the standard for measuring the value of man
in community.
The person who appreciates service will not
buy groceries of mail order house and expect
the local grocer to make quick delivery on tele-
phone order of something overlooked in giving
the regular order for the days dinner. The fair
person will not ask the merchant to charge item
after ITEM until quite a bill has been run up, if
the ready money is being sent out of town to the
mail order house.
When you compare prices, do not overlook the
cost and value of service.
Mr.. Farmer if you are regular patron of
these great catalog houses, do not complain when
you fail to find in your local stores, particular
article you want Do not ask for local credit when
your crops short and give the home dealer the
short end of your money when crops are long

TALKS WITH THE BUSINESS MAN
BY NELs DARLING

WHO pays for advertising? Does advertising
increase or decrease the cost of goods to the
consumer? Effective advertising may reduce the
consumers cost and frequently does.
Take that much-advertised $500 shoe. We
are all familiar with the likeness of the manufac-
turer, because advertising has made the man
known the country over, The enormous output.
the large numer of shoes sold, enables him to sell
each pair on very small margin. Advertising
built up and keeps up the demand. Without news
paper and magazine advertising, the cost Of intro
ducing this shoe would have been large in pro-
portion to the number of shoes sold Advertising
put the shoe on the market and will keep it there
Take the famous cracker, or so-called biscuit.
There was time when the grocer scooped all
crackers out of barrel or box, weighed them and
placed them in paper sack. Today you purchase
a Clean crisp, wholesome soda cracker at less cost
and it comes in an air-tight, sealed package. The
manufacturer knew what advertising would do
and made the price accordingly. There was an
immediate and nationwide demand. Advertising
made and is sustaining this demand
Advertise wisely and So effectively. Increase
your sales without materially increasing your ex-
penses. Reduce the price on any article you can.
Advertise and make your increased business pay
for it.

personal LIBERTY"

When Billy Sunday was conducting
meetings in Milwaukee, he, according
TO custom. sent invitations to the large
department stores end other industrial
concerns to be present on special eve
nings. Inasmuch as Mr.. Sunday always
has something forceful to say concern
ing the liquor traffic, the brewers ex-
pressed their diSapproval of the whole
proceeding by asking Milwaukee bust
ness houses TO forbid their. employees
attending the meetings. A manager Of

this too good to keep TO himself. He

ALCOHOL AND THE SOLDIER.

Does the use of alcohol prevent q
man from being a good soldier? Sir
Thomas Anderson Stuart, dean of the
medical faculty In Sydney, Australia.
thinks that this question Is a most per-
tinent one, and that 1t Is the angle
from which nations today should dis
cuss the drink problem. He says that
alcohol does prevent man from be-
ing a good soldier and that military
men and scientists have proved It. We
quote:
alcohol is subversive Of discipline,
and robs man of his prudence, judg-
ment,S consciousness and higher
morality. The development of the hui
man brain took countless years, but al
cohol works n change quickly, and
brings n man to the level of beast in
few minutes. Alcohol has also had a
great influence on the sexual passion,
and the diseases which result are the
shame and bane of the military au-
thorities.
II have seen 400 men In one day In
one place. They all came from one
military camp, and alcohol was the in
direct cause of all their misery When
one man asks another. What Is your
poisonT he does not know how cor
rectly In scientific sense he Is speak
ing"

testimony from laboratory. hospital,
and fatal family pathologic lineage and
sequence testimony against alcohol as
an unsafe drink, forceful for harm

WE are proud of our Iron County volunteers.
We have seen them in uniforms, and have COM
pared them with unframed recruits from other
sections of the country, and in stature bearing
and department they have no peers We believe
that they are all courageous and will give good
account of themselves if ever they are called upon
to enter an engagement And we are Just as proud
of the boys who proffered their services but were
deemed to be physically unable to undertake the
arduous duties of a soldier They are Just as much
heroes and perhaps have just as courageous hearts
as their more fortunate companions
