THE MAN AND THE CHUCK
hrift stamps.

In summer time the WOodchuck is as
spry as he can be;
He digs his holes, and hobs about, and
works in~dustriously,
But when the winter winds come on.
and bring the ice and SHOWS,
He curls up in a little ball, and off to
sleep he goes.
Because he is a spineless beast, all full
of doubt and fear,
He doesn't try to make a fght-and
he loses half a year.
Some merchants are like W~oodchuck
and winter finds them dead.
While, profits. effort. labor, are con
sumed in "~overhead."
The January SHOWS and wind just
seem to freeze their brain;
They sit around and loaf and smoke
till springtime comes again,
Because they don't know how, perhaps,
and haven't got the "spizz"
To advertise and hustle and bring in
winter biz"
For January is the time to sort the
stock out well,
And dispose of all the "stickers' at
prices hat will sell;
To get your money out of goods that
stay upon the shelf
And put it into some thing that will
justify itself.
SO have a sale, with bargains on the
stuff that's got to go,
And give real bargains, mind you
for the folks are SUI to know;
People have got to live and eat in
January, too
They'll buy their goods of somebody
it might as we'll be you.
If you are a W%oodchuck merchant,
why go to sleep and snore.
But if you're strong and full of Pep,
get busy in your store.
Boost for the winter business; show
that you possess the pluck;
Be a live one and do business-be a
Man and not a "Chuck."

HI CROW'S-NEST

1t is a pity that so much fighting

Congress these days hat might better
be utilized on the fighting front in
Europe.

Synchronous handclapping is frown-

IL Is getting altogether too common as
a means Of applause in some of our
audiences in this city. Neither it is

THINK THIS OVER

If you see a tall fellow ahead Of a
crowd,
A leader of men, marching fearless
and proud,
And you know of a tale, whose mere
telling aloud
Would cause his poor head to in an
guish be bowed,
It's a pretty good plan to forget 1t.
If you know of a skeleton hidden away
In a closet, and guarded and kept from
the day
In the dark, and whose showing, whose
sudden display
Would cause grief and sorrow and life
long dismay,
It's a pretty good plan to forget 1t.
If you know of a thing that will dark
en- the JOY
OF a man or a woman, a girl or a boy
That will wipe out a smile, or the
least may annoy
A fellow, or cause any g~ladness to cloy,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.

over the many papers, that come TO our
exchange table 1t is encouraging 20 see
the concerted efforts that are being
put forth by the publishers. Some OF
them are giving more space to one
thing than to another, but most all or
them are giving generous space to at
least one OF the many calls to the ma
ton to give of money, men and service.
Some Of this publicity is resulting
from the campaigns being conducted
by the various boards or committees
having such matters in charge, while
the most part Of it, however, comes
from the voluntary contributions or
the publishers themselves. With the
new publicity board, appointed by the
President TO co ordinate the work OF
all government advertising, it is to be
presumed that even better results Will
be obtained. General publicity as OBJ
tanned through generous advertising IS
bound to do more in getting responses
from the people, that all the personal
solicitation campaigns that were ever
started. A knowledge of what is want
ed must come before the appeal is
made personally to the individual. If
you don't believe that advertising pays,
try to borrow some.

CRITlCISING THE PRESIDENT

Webster City Freeman-Journal The
Freeman-Journal can see no reason
why the president should be immune
from criticism at this or any other
time while criticism is freely lodged
against war governors. congressman
and heads of departments. The real
cause for criticism against the presi-
dent is his extreme craftsmanship and
his slowness in grasping and solving
problems. When he gets right he is
absolutely right all over and after hav-
ing taken a stand can sustain himself
with unusual ability. No man in the
world can put a proposition in better
language nor drive home points with
more telling logic. His ideals are fine
his patriotism is unflinching and he is
a great leader in the field of diplomacy
after he gets his bearings.

is FOOD

In the Commercial Bulletin, publish
ed in the Twin Cities, for this week
is an article which proves by figures
given out in Washington that food is
eighteen percent cheaper now han it
was last May. These same figures also
deal with the prices in the first three
months of 1917, and show that the
May prices were nineteen per cent
higher than those of January. Febru.
AIRY and March. According to the fig
ures the apex OF price was reached in
May and the decline has continued,
considering the same staples in all
these figures, from that time until the
present. Though the present price
is about half way between those OF
March aud May, ii appears that the de-
cline is credited 10 seven Of the staples
named. Flour, potatoes. beans. onions,
sugar. steak and hens are all lower,
But bread, cornmeal, rice. prunes, sal.
mon, tea. coffee, bacon, pork, ham,
lard, milk, butter, cheese and eggs
have all gone up even higher thar the
apex OF May. Now It is true that
some Of these higher staples are sea
sonable, that is higher al some sea
son than others, but still ii would
seem that If there is so much advance
in SO many, that there is not the right
use Of the staples that are cheapest.
While we are ready 10 give the Food
Administration credit for preventing
profteering in foods that May gave
evidence Of being inevitable, yet the
real crux OF the matter remains in the
hands Of the household buyer. With
all of the regulations in the land there
yet enters into the price question the
old matter Of supply and demand, or
controls the supply's price. With all
due Difference to the great good that
has been accomplished by the regula-
ton OF food, we submit that the real
saver of the nation in the matter of
the food supply for our boys at wal
and our allies, is the mother who does
the family marketing. She is the
rallying post around which this cam
paign for food saving must assemble,
and II VIZ accomplish the great things
that are expected of us during the next
six months, 1t will be because the
women of the nation have made 1t
possible.

WHO IN THE GOAT?

New Hampton, Ia, Gazette: Some
Iowa newspaper men are working at
out publicity matter for Jews
papers to publish in connection with
the war needs. They draw salaries
for their work. But when they were
publishing papers they We're expected
10 print all the publicity matter free.
In other words, the man who prepares
the matter gets paid, but the man who
gets it to the public, at heavy expense,
gets nothing. You have to quit print
and get a job on the other end Of
the business if you want pay for your
labor.

MERE JUSTICE

Burlington, Ia. Hawkeye: Equal pay
for equal work. That is putting it brief
ly and to the point. Women who take
the place of men should get the mans
pay as long as they do the work as we'll
as the man did it. Where they do the
work better, there they should get bet
ter pay than was given the man. That
is so simple that it seems impossible
that anyone should misunderstood 1t.
And it is quite fair and just.

The city has been amply supplied
with coal for the municipal utilities
all this winter and we are told by a
local coal dealer that the mayor is to
blame. AS be believe that blame should
be placed where it belongs, We cheer
fully extend to Mayor Leighty our
congratulations for being the cause
of this admirable condition of af-
fairs. We often wondered why the city
piled dirty coal all over our landscape
view, but now we realize the reason
and applaud the mayors f~orethought.

There are always two sides to every
question. Senator Chamberlain gave
one side Of the war preparedness ques-
ton recently and now Secretary Baker
has appeared before the Senate com
mittee and given the Other side. When
you look at both OF these statements
you find that we are not as bad as
We were painted at first. Both are right,
and the wrong way in which the mat
ter was aired to the public may come
from the nervous strain that must be
the lot OF every official now on duty
in Washington.

WARNING
Order Repair Parts of Farm
ing Machinery Early, Delay
May Mean Serious Loss

Don't rely on eleventh hour repair service this
year. Overhaul machines and order repair parts a
long time in advance of the you expect to
the machines. Freight and express shipments move
slowly now, and because of increasing movements of
troops and Government supplies, they are likely to
move slower in the future.
Everything possible is being done by manufacture
erS and the Government TO assure the farmer of
pie repair parts Nevertheless hc should take steps
to avoid inevitable delays by planning ahead. If he
waits until the minute he needs them before ordering,
may be impossible to get repair parts to him in
time
Order repair parts even if you do not expect
to use them for several months That is the only way
to be and safe against the loss that you al
most certain to suffer if you delay until the last
minute.
