The Business Outlook.

In former times the country mer.
chant could advertise at various in
tervals and get along. In these
days he cannot. With the rapid
shift of conditions and of the mar.
kets it is absolutely essential to
success that the merchant keep in
constant touch with his customers.
In the east the magazines and News
papers are carrying more advertis-
ing than they ever did before, and
advertising men on the large publ
cations predict that 1913 will be the
greatest year IN their history,
The same conditions that make
it imperative for the fastener to
60 heavier on advertising than 9TH
er years apply to Western mer-
chants as well.
All the great city papers of Mis-
souri, circulate largely in the rural
districts. They are loaded to the
guards with advertising for the
great department stores. the cloth.
ing merchants. the jewellers and the
general retail dealers of the big
city. These advertisements, of
course, fall into the hands of the
people, in the country merchants
territory.
. When the merchant or his adver-
Using assistant sits down to COM
pose a business announcement for
the papers, he should keep in mind
that he is talking to an immense
audience. For a few dollars he can
tell most satisfactorily what he has
to say in his local newspaper. The
same opportunity would cost him a
great many dollars by any other
method.
This year the wstchful merchant
will be on the job during every
moment of the day. keeping in
touch with conditions and with his
circle Of customers. He will be

In the days of the happy.go lucky

There is nothing 10 be afraid of

Not all can fight not all can work

buying a Liberty Loan Bond, or

the Nation. 1t has been put within

Save More Wheat.

We have saved some food during
the last few months. the months
since there has been Food Admin.
istration. We have made a good
beginning, But it is only a begin
ming. We must save more, not sim
Dly more in total, but more each
month.
We have already sent overseas
for our army in France and the
soldiers and civilians of our associ.
ates in this war all of our surplus
wheat and meat and fats. But they
need much more. We can keep on
sending them what they need in on
1y one way. and that is by lessenine
our own consumption of the food we
have on hand and are constantly
producing. We need to reduce our
consumption of wheat by One-third
and of fats and meat by One-fifth.
Doing this will not injure us in the
least, for we are now eating much
more than we need and we can east
iy use corn and other cereals to a
considerable extent in place of
W heat. So, beginning right now
the Food Administration asks the
American people to save more than
they have been saving.
Not all of our people can eat less
than they now eat. for many are un.
able to buy more food than they &C
tually need. But if all who can
save will save there will be enough
for all of US, our associates in this
war, friendly neutrals and ourselves
Do not hoard food, for the Gov
eminent will keep in this country
enough of every essential kind of
fOOdstuff to supply all of the peo-
pie. The Government has no inten-
ton of ever taking an ounce of the
