How Is the Government and the
People 20 Solve Future Problems
Since the war is over business men,
professional men, manufacturers, mar
chants and Iumbermen, are all busy
taking an inventory of present con
ditions and how best to solve them.
Politicians are busy studying how best
to handle the future problems to the
best advantage fer themselves and
the Political parties to which they
belong. Everybody is busy and neces-
sarily must be to do that which VIII
prove best for all the people.
It's human to be selfish and there
-ora r1any Of US are inclined to take
and lock at questions as to how they

engaged. This is a time when We
must consider the other fellow The
Capitalists must consider the Laborcr
and vice versa. The question Of Gov
arnment ownership Of railroads, tele-
phones, telegraph and other natural
monopolies are the most important
ones. What viii we do with them
How shall we dispose of them for the
peoples good?
The Socialist, the Democrat and The
| Republicans, all have remedies that
hey will offer through congress. How

past. What is the record of the three
parties? Which one has given this
country the best government thus far?
Investigate their records. What have
t7oev promised and how much have
they fulfilled? Let each man investi-
rate for himself and then sustain who
have given the best results.
If it could be possible, the best IN

should be united together and offered
Jointly for our future good. What
would that be?

MEAT I.C..EaSE
IT TINE Needed
Producers Responded NO5I}
When Demand Was Shown
to Them.
CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.
Government Justified in Pork Policy
Which Nov Provides Chief Sup
ply to Meet Three Billion
Pound Fat Shortage.

In line with the general plan Of con-
servatiou formulated by the U. S. Food
Administration Immediately following
the entrance of the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers of this country to the
war program is of particular signifi-
canoe. as it demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Ad-
ministration by the meat producers of
the country.
According to reports of the Q. s.
Department Of Agriculture, there was
an increase in cattle OF 10,22S,0O0 head
and -, Al, 900 hogs, these figures com
piled to January last. In the same
period there was a decrease Of $4,000
head Of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January l unofficial infOrma-
ton indicates an increase in hogs Of
not less than eight per cent and not
more than fifteen per cent compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
average weight
Following the request of the Food
Administration for increase in hog
production for the fall of 1913 and the
spring of 1919 the increase may yield
not less than 1000, 100000 pounds
more Of pork products than We're
available last year. without this in
crease the shipping program ARRANGED
l, NTs. 0r-.Tf animal [-slsfi
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80,
1917, amounted to 903, 172, 600 pounds,
while for the same months Of 1918 the
production w9s 1877, $50, 900 pounds,
an increase of over 374,000,000 pounds
for the quarter.
During the same period in 1917 in
spected slaughter records of dressed
beef showed 1858. 100000 pounds as
against 1,454000,0O0 pounds for the
three month period ending September
l, this year.
We must increase our meat ship
ments. especially our pork products,
to meet the added delGands of the mil
lions liberated from German oppres-
sion. And at the same time We must
look forward to the rehabilitation of
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
it has brought about will enable US
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on US for the coming year.
There will be a world shortage in fats.
and it is to the United States that Eu-
rope must look to supply its deticien-
cy. At the same time there viii con
tinue to be heavy demands for beef,
Owing to the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports Of
beef for some time will be limited.
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain Il
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.

Why Advertised Stores Succeed

Why Advertised Stores Succeed
Because the advertised store speaks
with strong confidence of the merits
Of its proposition.
When a store fails to advertise, it
must be for one of three reasons: first
because the proprietor thinks the pub
lie will not see his notice; second, be-
cause the proprietor thinks they will
not believe it if they do see it; or third
because the proprietor feels that he
has no goods of such exceptional val
lie that he can persuade the public to
come in and look at them.
The first reason is valid only if
merchant is considering some paper
of small circulation. The second and
third reasons indicate lack of conf
dence on the part of the store in its
goods
No one would have the, courage to
put money into advertising unless
goods had demonstrated their value
n practical experience. The public
feels in buying advertised goods, that
t is getting something that has made
good
