ADVERTISING COPY

Local advertisers who believe in
small space should have their at
tention called to the results of an
investigation conducted by Profess
sor Scott among all of the adver-
tisers west of Buffalo, who used
the columns of the Ladies' Home
Journal. 1t was shown that the add
vertiser who used SO line copy drop
pde out in one year, the advertiser
who used 116 line copy dropped Out
in two years, the advertiser who
used 16S hne copy kept up his adj
vertising three years, and so the
figures continue to show longer life
for the advertising in proportion tC
the size Of the copy used.
Advertisers who used 600 line
space kept up their campaigns fol
eight years.
Such figures need no argument tC
prove the value of large space

woman got the following letter:
"'The undersigned bailiff of the

SPRING FLOWING IN FRANCE

To increase Frances crops and
to tighten the burden of toll on
her old men, women, and children
800 farm tractors will go to
that country from the United
States. The first hundred are al
ready on the way, and the whole
number will be in France by
March, in time for the spring
blowing. Deck space was provided
for the first shipment on a naval
transport. Schools Of instruction
will be organized.
The acreage sown to crops in the
uninvaded portion of France in
1917 was about 100000 acres
less than in 1913, or 24.4 per cent
The increased production through
the use of tractors this year is eX-
pected to greatly improve the food
situation.

FOOD SUPPLY OF FRANCE
ON THE DECLINE

According to the Food Admins
tration, shortage OF wheat in
France is becoming more and more
alarming each week. The minister
of general revictualing indicated
recently that a further reduction
Of 20 per cent. in the bread ration
would soon become imperative.
Denmark is now looking forward
to a reduction Of wheat rations.
Final figures for the cereal harvest
show a total of about 100000
bushels, which is 2O,OO0,OOO bushels
less than in 1916 and about TO-
100000 less than was estimated in
the summer, when the populace was
put on bread rations. The author
tiles are already considering a
further reduction in the allowed
consumption.
The food situation in, Switzer-
land is rapidly falling to the dan
ger line. A ration that is far be-
low the consumption in many of the
countries at war has already been
ordered. Under the new regula-
tions the Swiss may have only a
pound and half of sugar per per-
son per month. The bread ration
has been fixed at about half a
pound a day, and the butter ration
at one-fifth of a pound a month.

URGES WOMEN TO MAKE
MANY INFANTS LAYETTES

Women workers in Red Cross
chapters in Lake Division have had
their attention called to the fact
that the American Red Cross is
planning to provide every French
or Belgian mother who may need it
with an infants layette. The wo-
mems bureau has available a leaflet
describing a simple outfit of warm
baby clothes.
The articles and garments in the
layette have been chosen on the
advice Of representative of the
woman's bureau who have just re-
turned from France. The Red Cross
is anxious that these baby clothes
be made by women working at home
instead of at the chapter work
rooms.
The garments are very simple.
Great emphasis is laid on the pur-
chase of extremely durable mater
ials, since, owing to the coal short
age in France, hot water is avail
able in most villages only twice a
week, and greater part of the
laundry work is done in icy
streams. The method of cleansing
is by pounding with stones. Warm
baby clothes will save many child
who otherwise might perish.
The layette will, if necessary
serve also for civilian relief here in
America. Patterns described in the
leahet can be obtained at Red Gross
chapters and at practically every
retail dry goods store with a pat,
tern counter.
Wherever possible, the Red Cross
Urges that the layette be cOmplet,
ed before it is turned over to chap,
tiers for shipping. Where this i:
not possible, single articles VII be
acceptable at chapter rooms.

At a meeting of the Wholesale

Reports from many sections Of
the country, that the answer to the
appeal for conservation is not b.
any means what it should be, and
what the authorities had every
reason to expect it would be. II
has been some time since the people
were urged to economic on wheat,
yet we are informed that the con
SUMPTION of wheat in this country
for the month of October, 1917, was
Is per cent. greater than for the
same month last year.
Now, hysteria in the matter of
economy will get us nowhere. It's
useless to seek to scare the people
with the cry of possible famine. All
too well they know this to be i'm
possible so long as the seasons
come and reasonable work is done.
People everywhere are earning
more these days than ever before,
perhaps, in their lives. This no
doubt accounts for much of the
increase in consumption.
But while the people can not be
scared into economy, if the matter
is placed before them in its proper
light, common sense should induce
them to economic.
The present era of high prices Is
in the nature of wlndfall-a
streak of luck that can no@ in the
nature of things, continue indefi-
nitely. Eventually the cause-war-
must be removed, then prices will
naturally seek something near their
old level. The man who, while TAX
ing every legitimate advantage OF
inflated values, at the same time
practices economy in his expendi-
lures, is the man who will be living
on Easy Street when the slump
comes. The fellow who increases
his style of living to match his sal
airy will find himself at that time in
worse condition than ever. He will
have contracted habits of life that
be will find impossible to maintain
when conditions change.
There is, however, another aspect
of the case that should be Impress
ed upon all. Our government ha-
decided to maintain the Allies tC
the best of its ability. 1t will also
keep plenty of supplies going to oul
own armies in Europe. These
causes, together with extravaganza
Mt home, may easily cause guc1
conditions that it will be imperative
that the government take active
steps in food control This has nj
