may be- used differently from another.
We've solved more than one house
hold problem that has been men
toned to us, and had the customer go
out of the store saying, "Well, thank
you, l never thought of that before
l didn't know it could be done that
way" You would be surprised if
you knew how many customers come
in and buy two cans of Campbells
Soup, one Tomato and one Vegetable,
just because we suggested to a few
people that a combination of those
two soups was delicious. We had a
compliment paid to us the other day
by very particular customer which
pleased US very much. She asked
for some cheese, some mild cheese, eff
it is good" "Well," l said, "tastes
differ in cheese, but this is a mild
one and we are having very heavy
sale of it, and l personally like it.
Do you want to taste it ?" "Oh, no."
she answered, eff you say it is good,
it is. l like to come in this store be-
cause you always tell me the truth
about your goods. You seem to think
more of satisfying and pleasing your
customers than of making sales"
Now, I suppose self-praise does
not go very far, but when someone
pays us a compliment like that I sort
of like to pass it on, for it expressed
exactly the policy that we have tried
to adhere to. We would rather lose
a sale for the time being than to sell
something to a customer that we
know they do not want.
Another thing we have tried to do
is to keep a good stock on hand-not
balanced stock with ample variety to

that boarders are entitled to a little
more sugar ration and a little more
wheat ration, etc., ETC., than anyone
else, just because they pay board.
We don't see it that way yet. An
American is an American, whether
he boards or lives at home, and his
sugar ration is two pounds month.
A real American won't use more
others must not.
One more paragraph. We've been
praising ourselves so long that we
feel real good humord. A few weeks
ago I started these little talks so that
people would know what THE A. & P.
MANAGER SAYS, and I find that
people surely do read what THE A.
& P. MANAGER SAYS. pay my
respects to the manager of this news
paper-the people who read his pa
per read the advertisements. The
sale on every article I've mentioned in
these talks from time to time has been
greatly increased. Pm only sorry
that didn't start talking to you Can
aan people sooner, in the paper.
Now once again, remember, this
is MY ANNIVERSARY. Help me
to make it a booster,-the biggest
week the store ever had. Come on
and see what I've got in the store
waiting TO ryou, this week, next week
and every week.

possible to have on hand Just the
things you've wanted-any merchant

the time to have on hand a good va

We sure have made a little trouble
for ourselves now and then on the

COMMENDABLE ATTITUDE

The attitude of President W. F. AL
worth of the state and county farm
bureaus toward political nomination is
a wholly commendable one and should
recall forcibly to those who have not
heretofore realized its seriousness, the
necessity for good, hard work on the
part of everybody to win out.
It is impossible to over-estimate the
value of the right sort of agricultural
production at this time. Wheat and
sugar must be had in large quantities
or we shall allow this war to be pro-
longed indefinitely, with greater loss
of life and a greater amount of hu-
man suffering and a greater amount
of poverty than would otherwise be
the case. We say prolong the war, for
we are going to win it; we have got to
win it.
There is nothing reprehensible
about a man being in a receptive at
titude toward public office. Offices
must be filled and competent men
should be willing to fill them. But a
man in the position occupied by Mr.
Alworth, who gets no salary, and who
puts out of mind the very thought of
office in the. interest Of his country
is certainly choosing the better part.

LET ALL VOTE FOR BONDS

The TIMES wishes to direct atten-
ton to the call for election on road
bonds published elsewhere in this is
sue, setting the date for April G. The
district should be created.
1t was over-confidence in this city,
which led a lot of friends of good
roads to stay at home while the peo-
pie of other districts, including Filler,
got out and hustled. Then Filler took
the initiative and will have district
of its own. The failure of the bond
issue last fall at least lays one ghost,
and that is that Twin Falls as a COM
munity always works together af-
firmatively to put over anything it
wants. In early days this was so. A
recrudescence of this early spirit, with
view of helping all the county,
whether its own road district or not
is needed and the citizens of this city
are awakening to this fact Let us
not forget to vote for the bonds.

before the United States puts an army
in the field overshadoing in size and
equipment even the hosts put under
arms by England and France. Fur
thermore, standardized tonnage will
ease the shipping pressure consider
ably The enemy high command is
evidently staying its hand because It
is reluctant to play its last card An
other failure like that at Verdun
might well be calculated to stir Up
openly even the rule-ridden German
populace and another lack of com
plete success means the beginning of
the end for Germany, it is declared.
The German army command, 1t is
believed, fully realizes that another
campaign like that at Verdun, even
if resulting in the capture of strong
hold like that upon the Mouse. with
out Selling a huge bag of prisoners,
would not compensate for the loss of
men and materials nor appease the
demand of the German populace for
a decisive victory.
German troops have already occu-
pied too many capital and large
cities for a further delusion of the
people that "storming operations" are
another means of victory and peace.
Military critics believe that Ger
many's sole hope now lies in stalking
all upon a final gigantic throw for
enormous stakes and the longer it is
delayed, the better prepared the al
lies will be to meet it.

CRUSHING THE SEASON"

The talk about setting up the clock
and the early spring following an open
winter, has stirred the giddy bugs
out earlier than usual, so without
waiting for April 1, at least one, like
the zone swallow" or the single rob-
bin, or the solitary blue bird. was out
chirping before the middle of March.
This particular bird discovered and
conveyed the discovery to others, that
the delay in sending Professor A. c.
Burrill back to resume his labors in
this field, where they proved so prof
liable, was because of a lecture, pub
lished in The TIMES after its deliv-
cry. in which he declared that Idaho
needed an insect Moses to lead it out
of bondage; and, so the story ran, be-
cause the given name of Governor
Alexander was Moses" it was assum-
ed that he took umbrage at the remark
which was clear in its context, and
that he prevented Burri's return.
The statement of the case shows its
absurdity. In the first place, the
meaning of the sentence was clear
from its context and could only be
construed to mean anything personal
to anybody by the most violent
wrench from all its connections. A
few newspapers and party workers
failing to appreciate the keen wit OF
Governor Alexander, have acted to-
ward him like the louis who misun-
derstood a noted attorney in one OF
Mark Twain's novels. Although twice
licked at the polls by the people, who
understand Governor Alexander very
well, these solemn owlish folks still
misrepresent him to themselves and

"Ill never buy another bottle of

One of the chief arguments against
the imminence of a German drive up
on the western front is the fact that
German newspaper are printing
stories on the subject, but there ar
guments were pointed out today as
possibly being groundless when it is
realized that all of the big German
operations since the beginning of the
war have been widely heralded in
advance
The five big German campaigns in
their order were:
/. The driving back of the Rus
slams from the Dunajec to the Brest-
Litovsk line in the summer of 1915.
2. The overrunning of Servia in
the autumn of 1915.
3. The Verdun drive in the spring
of 1916
4. The overrunning of Roumania
in the fall of 1916.
5. The thrust against the Italians
in the fall of 1917.
other big German offensive opera
tions were the submarine war, which
was announced early in the winter
of 1914-1915 and aerial bombing, an
nouncement of which came in the fall
of 1917.
Perusal of the old files of the for
eign neutral press shows that every
one of the campaigns mentioned
above was clearly foreshadowed.
Reports to Swiss newspapers from
German and Austrian sources indicat-
ed a concentration of artillery for vor
Mackensen's attempt to breach the

This is what one frequently hears

vehicle is Sheriff Nells Tustle."
Accomplishing feat almost
without parallel in motion pictures,
Polly Moran has within a few
months learned to ride bronchos
like a veteran cowboy, shoot with
remarkable accuracy, and lasso a
steer on the run. She excels as

WHY FARMERS ARE LEFT

The farmers and necessary farm
workers of the country, who are in
the first classification are assured
that they will not be taken until af-
ter the crops are harvested and Sc
cured. This is done that the greatest
amount of production shall be secured
for the coming year in needed sup
plies. AS DR.. Culbertson said in his
great speech Thursday night, THE
man who is producing on the farm is
as much engaged in fighting this war
as the man in the trenches because he
produces that without which the war
cannot be won" AS Napoleon once
said, AN army fights on its stomach
Just as those who are on the firing
line should not shrink from a post Of
danger, so those who are left on the
farm, should not fail to raise those
crops vitality necessary for the feeding
OF our boys abroad. When the govern
ment exempts man from army serv-
ice in the trenches, it does so on the
ground that he shall do essential farm
work at home. If he then fails to do
this, he is more than a Stacker he
fails to carry into effect an implied
promise to the government.
Wheat and sugar are necessary for
the conduct of the war. There is no
doubt that the milling interests and
the sugar factories have made enor-
nous rake-offs at times in the past.
This has been stopped. The man who
raises beets or wheat today is not
raising it to furnish tremendous and
unregulated profits to some trust
Perhaps regulations are not always
perfect. In fact. being made by men,
we are sure that they are not perfect
but they have curbed what would
otherwise have been unrestricted mo-
nopolistic conditions under circum-
stances, where had there been no reg
lation, unnatural monopoly would
have had full sway. Therefore, those
who feel that they should take a
swat" at the mills or the factories on
account of past derelictions, should
we believe. lay aside for the time of
war, any desire to get even. Let il
be understood that we do not mean to
imply that they should refrain from
seeking any change of system, through
political action during the war; what
we mean is that they should do the
best they can under present conditions
TO help out under the regulations now
at hand, even though they believe they
have something better to offer for the
future and even though they continue
to work to inaugurate the changes
which they think will better things.
In this, we believe that the govern
ment and the boys in the trenches viii
have the cooperation of the farmers
and the laborers with very few excep
tions.
