WAR HYsTERlA

Nothing can be more harmful to
the business life of the country than
for the people to give way to hys-
terra over the war. There are
enough disturbing factors in the
business situation, growing out of
the war problems, without our ad-
ding to them unnecessarily. But
this we do whenever we permit
thoughts of the war to obtrude in
to business or cause us to vacillate
or hesitate over ordinary business
problems.
Business conditions are now more
than ever subject to sudden change,
hence there is all the more reason
that the people keep cool and
steady. But these changes are more
in method than anything else, and
a consistent application to business
will enable us to grasp them as they
occur and continue to conduct bust
ness in safe channels.
Another thing: There are men
at Washington and elsewhere who
are drawing salaries for developing
our war policies. Our help in this
matter is not needed. We can rem
der the greatest aid to our country
in this crisis by making of our bus
iness-it matters not what it may
be--the greatest success possible.
If we are farming, the greatest aid
we can render will be measured by
the size of our crops. The same in
all lines. We can render absolute
ly no aid if we discuss the situa-
ton from now till next spring. We
can, however, help to make confus-
ion worse COMPOUNDED by abandon
ing ourselves to hysterical discus
sions and speculations.
Another phase of the situation in
which we should keep cool and
preserve an even tenor, is in the
matter of giving credence to the
thousands of sensational reports
circulated. Many of these are the
product of idle brains and the out
growth of the very useless discus
sions we have sought to discourage.
The people will be informed from
an authoritative source Of all mat
tiers that affect the public welfare.

A STANDARD
DELIVERY pRoGRAm

Retail merchants in all towns of
$500 population or more will be
asked in the next few weeks to
adopt the retail delivery program
of the commercial economy board,
Council of National Defense.
This program includes the maxi
mum of one delivery a day, the elm
nation of special deliveries, re-
strictions on returned goods, C. O.
d. privileges, and the establishment
of cooperative delivery systems in
small and medium sized commune
ties.
This action was decided upon at
a conference held by the com
mercial economy board at which were
present Herbert c. Hoover, Unit
ed States Food Administrator; w.
c. Redfeld, Secretary of Commerce,
and representatives of State Coun-
ellis of Defense from the states
east of the Mississippi river. Al
similar conference is soon to be
held for the western states.

DOING HIS DUTY

In view of the terrible tragedy
that happened at Winchester last
Saturday night when many people
were injured trying to get out of
the theatre owing to the aisles be-
ing crowded, we think a word should
be spoken for Mr.. VIM. B. Small,
Manager of The Tabb Theatre, of
this city, regarding the manner in
which he conducts the house, when
every seat has been sold he will not
allow standing room to be sold nor
will he permit anyone to stand in
the aisles of the theatre, so that in
case of any kind of accident the
building could be emptied in few
seconds. We might also add that
The Tabb has more exits than any
theatre building its size in the State
Of Kentucky and is equipped with
every apparatus obtainable for the
protection of its patrons.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1918-03-12

the sanction of the Washington au-
thorities should be frowned upon
and discouraged. You are always
safe in disbelieving and contradict
ing all such.
Taken by and large, while condi-
tons are not normal, still there is
really no good reason for hysteri-
cal worry. Goodness and common
sense, added to increased applica-
tons and energy, will carry us
safely through and enable our gov
eminent to win out in the mammoth
undertaking before it.
