LET REASON RULE!

The most important business we
have on hand at the present time is
to win the war--no doubt about that.
The allies must win--and they're 60
ing to win. ~
1t may take one year--it may take
ten--bus time doesn't count in nat
ter of this kind.
Every American
Every American dollar
Every American commercial enter
prise is back of our determination.
America already has a big part-a
big place--in this struggle, and that
part is going to be bigger. Ameri-
cans have made sacrifices, and will
be called upon to make greater sacri-
fees, and those sacrifices will be
made Il eerfully and Willingly. T.
may oven be necessary, in order to
prosecute the war to q SD: :,ssful toll-
clusion, that many businesses of
years standing shall go to the wall,
and, If this is necessary, there will be
but little complaint, even from those
WHO suffer the most-because Amerf-
cans play the game and abide by the
rules.

Bullet Reason Rulel

Enthusiasm frequently carries the
best thinking people to extremes in
deciding what it is best to do in or
der to accomplish a purpose. Let
us be well and thoroughly convinced
that it is necessary that certain indus
tries should be practically eliminated.
Remember, it is much easier to tear
down than it is to build; to destroy
than it is to create.
Many people must gain their live
lihood who could not be employed in
any other than their present trade or
profession.
1t is a very serious thing to check
the commercial or manufacturing bus
inesses of any country. 1t is, and
should be, our care to foster and in
crease the business of our people. AL
ready the other nations of the world,
despite the strenuous efforts they are
making to win this war, are planning
for the recovery and expansion of
their commercial businesses.
Our boys at the front are fighting
to preserve our country, protect our
homes, and keep the world "a decent
place to live in" Let us see to it
that false reasoning does not lead us
to destroy, by regulation or non-pat-
ronage, many of those great CONNER
cial enterprises which will be needed
for their occupation and support when
the war is over and cur boys come
marching home again"
Therefore, it is incumbent on all of
us to spend what we can afford, TO
continue to purchase things which we
need, even many of the so-called nom
essentials, provided that, first of all,
we are prepared to do our whole duty
by the government in supplying those
things which are needed by the gov
eminent for the prosecution of the war
and are ready to meet the govern
ment demands as to buying bonds and
war savings stamps.
Let Reason Rule!

THEY QUIT ADVERTISING
What Happened When "Babbitt's''
Soap Advertising Was Discontinued.

You can't buy Rabbits soap now,
a few years ago sold by every dealer,
large and small. The reason is the
company stopped advertising and lost
the value of name which had been es-
timated by advertising men to be
worth more than a million dollars.
This kitchen and laundry soap, by
advertising had almost driven compe-
ton from the field. The manufactur-
ers with a plant, big for those days,
were pressed to turn it out fast
enough. 1t was demanded by patrons
of the cross-road store and the big city
department stores. Housewives
would accept no other.
1--WE are so well known and our pro
duct is in such demand it is not neces-
sary for us to advertise any more.
We might better add to our profits
the money we pay newspapers and
advertising agents." the officers of
the company decided. They cut that
useless" expenditure of money.
About this time, in a matter of
court litigation, advertising men tes-
titled Rabbits soap" had been so
extensively advertised that the two
words, they estimated, had an actual
cash value of more than a million
dollars. In other words that it would
be worth that much to a rival manu-
fcturer to secure the right to use the
name Rabbits soap"
The company persisted in its non
advertising policy. Younger men in
the soap business with "new tangled
ideas,a fellows fresh from college,
were fighting for soap profits. They
launched big advertising campaign
as soon as the Rabbit firm stopped
theirs. There were several rival cam
paigns. All showed increasVd business.
The old soap which so many house
wives had demanded gradually lost its
hold. The demand decreased. Deal
ers' stocked with the new soaps and
finally the company which once had
dominated the field as Ford does his
today, found no market for its pro-
duct.
Advertising money had been "sav-
ed' but there was no company to bank
the savings.
Merchants can draw their own de-
auctions from the experience of Bah
bits soap.

In summer when, again and again
the historic phrase, "Francc-Ameri-
can troops, makes its appearance in
the communicates, the distinction of
being the most complete amalgam of
the two armies belongs to that flying
squadron of emergency transporta-
ton, that trundling troop of trucks,
that charging company of camions,
the Mallet Reserve.
This organization consists of 700
5-ton trucks-American trucks driv-
en- over French roads, driven now by
French, now by American drivers,
officeed by French and American Off
GERS, carrying French and American
troops, French and American ammu-
milton.
The Mallet Reserve is so named be
cause its commanding officer is Major
Mallet of the French cavalry and is
called a reserve because it is attached
TO no army corps, but rather is held
in reserve for emergency duty when
ever a crisis in the war brings crl-
sis in transportation. This means that
the interminable line of camions bear
ing the Mallet mark will invariably
appear wherever things are hottest
that the trucks and their drivers
know no rest from one years end to
the other.
Thus, you saw them along the roads
up Cambria way last fall. When the
French troops were rushed into the
gap that opened during the German
drive of March 81, Mallet trucks car
ried them and they were Mallet
trucks which bore northward the
French soldiers who made their sud-
den and startling appearance among
the British in Flanders during the
April fighting. The American troops
and ammunition that were moved
with a rush to the lines of the Chau-
teau-Thierry front were transported
many of them in the home grown
camions Of the Mallet reserve.
The trucks themselves, if you ex-
anime them, tell many a story of
transport under shell-fire, tell Of ma
chine gunners borne to the very rim
of the battle so that the gunners need
only drop from the cannon, run across
field and start firing.
The personnel of the Mallet Re-
serve numbers $500. OF these 1900
are Americans. Some of the Amer
leans are alumni of the old American
Field Ambulance; some of the officers
began as ambulanciers with that
group of volunteers who preceded the
A. +. +. Some of the Americans
who drive these trucks first learned
their trade at the wheel of their own
fast roadsters back home; some of
them learned it in that company of
lower East Side taxi drivers who were
forever appearing in the gang-fghts
which used to excite New York when
there were no greater fight to absorb
its attention.
They live in their trucks, sleep in
their tn, trucks. they move over France
ment, group or company withdraws
from the road into a field for q few
days. rest and repair, the trucks still
serve as tents.

STORY OF A FAMOUS SHRINE
The Virgin Said to Have Appeared to
Mexican Indian.

The most ancient and revered shrine
in Mexico is that of the Virgin of
Guadalupe, concerning which a beau
tiful legend is told. A short dis
lance from the present city of Mexico
is a hill called Tepeyacca where, in
ancient times, the natives celebrated
rits in honor of the mother of their
gods. In 1881, soon after the con-
quest Of Mexico by the Spaniards, a
converted Indian, named Diego, was
crossing this hill one morning on the
way to mass. As he reached the
summit the air was filled with music
so the legend reads, and looking up he
saw a white cloud surrounded by a
brilliant rainbow. Framed by the
cloud was a woman Of marvellous
beauty who addressed Diego in his
own language, told him she was Mary
mother of God, and that it was her
wish that a shrine be built on the hill
in her honor. Diego hurried on to
mass and told the bishop of the vision
and of the message. The skeptical
bishop demanded proof.
When next the vision appeared to
him, Diego told of the bishops
doubts and his demand for token.
This the Virgin promised to give at
their next meeting. But when the
time came for Diego to keep his tryst
at the top of the hill his uncle was
very ill, and he remained to care for
him. Whereupon the Virgin ap-
peared at the little hut and babe him
go to the hilltop, where a sign would
be found. Diego hurried to the sum-
nit; and there, where there had been
only barren rock, he found bed of
the most marvellous flowers. Filling
his blanket with these as a proof that
the sign had been given him, the In
dian hurried to the bishop. The peo-
pie outside the church derided Diego
and plucked at the flowers; but, final
ly, when he was admitted to the bish-
ops presence and threw open the
blanket, instead of the flowers, there
appeared on the blanket wonderful
painting of the Virgin. Convinced,
the bishop and his attendants follow
ed Diego to the hill and besought him
to point out the exact spot where the
Virgin had stood. Diego being un-
certain for a moment, fountain sud-
denly gushed from the spot.-The
Peoples Home Journal.

German Treachery.

With the American army in France
Sept. 10.-Grim- faced, begrimmed
and stained after several days of des-
perate, continuous battle. platoon of
Marines was firing rapidly but calm
ly and accurately at the Hun ranks.
The foes numbers were in the ma
jority but the Sea Soldiers fire was
proving speedily evening.
Suddenly the Huns dropped their
rifles and cried eKamerad."
The Marines waited for the sur
rendering enemy to approach. When
the foe came within 200 yards their
first lines dropped. They had been
dragging machine guns by ropes at
tached to their belts.
About 80 Marines fell before their
comrades with yell Of rage and re-
venge surged forward. The bayonet
let not Hun survive.
This is another example of Teuton
treachery. 1t is told by an officer
and two members of the platoon now
in a hospital.

Hold Your Liberty Bonds.

The effort to separate Liberty bond
holders not familiar with stock and
bend values from their Liberty bonds
has taken a new turn. The manipu-
lators instead of offering to buy the
bonds at inadequate prices offer in ex-
change for them the stocks and bonds
of various wildcat corporations, whose
face value is large but whose actual
value is little or nothing.
The safest investment in the world
is Liberty bond. For a patriotic
American, Liberty bonds are the best
investment in the world. 1t is not
only wise thing to hold them it is a
patriotic thing to do. The soldier
who takes a trench and then volun-
tarily gives it up is not to be COM
pared with one who takes a trench
and holds it against the enemy. An
American who buys a Liberty bond
and then sells it is not so good an
American as one who buys bond and
holds it. This does not apply, how
ever, to one who sells his bond be-
cause of real necessity; there is le-
gitimate trading in Liberty bonds
which the treasury recognizes.
1t was wise and patriotic old col
ored American who refused to sell his
500 Liberty bond for 500, because he
would net give up the United States
promise, (his bond), to pay him 500
with interest for the United States
promise currency to pay him 500,
and who refused to sell the same bond
for $102, because, he said, that the
$102 must be counterfeit or else the
would-be purchaser would not be will
ling to give it for only 500. It is
safe to say that there are no gold
bricks or wildcat securities among
that Americans assets.
