Cater to Needs Of Buyers.

Well-stOcked pantry shelves found
in so many American homes at the
end of the canning season have not
been enough in the way of food saw
ing for many women and girls who
last year, especially through their or
ganized clubs, put up millions of Jars
and cans of fruits and vegetables in
response to the worlds need of food.
Although some of this surplus
canned food, that the pantry shelves
would not hold, was sold on local mar
kets, and some of it was even shipped
to nearby points, here and there the
home Gamers found that it was hard
to sell the surplus. One of the main
difficulties, as pointed out by the bu-
reau of markets, was that the home
canned products were not standard
tied, for many cases were found where
well-selected, carefully packed stand
ardlzed goods brought good prices to
the home Gamer.
Best Markets
Local or nearby markets for home
canned products are usually the best.
The attractiveness Of the pack and
containers affects its selling qualities.
Merchants or other buyers do not
want a miscellaneous assortment Of
products, and it is better practice to
put different products in boxes by
themselves and not to mix containers
Of peaches and peppers, for example,
in the same lot when offering them
for sale. Containers should be graded
as to size and quarts and pints kept
separate. Labels are necessary on tin
containers and help sell canned goods.
Where products are put up by men,
Oers of canning clubs under organized
supervision 1t Is possible to guaran-
tee the pack Of the different products
as to grade and weight Of measure.
This is considerable aid in selling,
since the buyer then knows exactly
what he is buying.

marketing, the different kinds of fruit
or vegetables can be placed together
in graded-sized containers, when, per-
haps, the pack of any one individual
might not be large enough to make
up quantity sufficient to attract
buyers. 1t is as necessary to estab-
lish a reputation for reliability as to
have products put up attractlvs'y. The
marketing Of home or club-canned
products can be made successful II
the Gamers win study the marketing
problem and cater to the needs Of buy
ers. When orders are secured in adj
vance for products, home Gamers
should endeavor to fill the orders on
time and give the buyer the kind Of
products agreed upon.

A Debt of Honor

One of the humors of the more
struggling end of the country press,
has always been the heart rending APP
peals the rural editor had to put out
to his constituents to walk up and
settle for their subscription. 1t does
not seem so funny however, to the
editor. For a long time it was Gus
tomary to take money in anything
the reader happened to have, cord
wood, apples, vegetables, etc.
This scheme would be acceptable to
others than country editors at present
prices.
However no newspaper gets to the
point where it can omit to drum up its
readers on the subscription question.
1t is ike all small bills, something
that everyone means to pay sometime,
but it is so little that it is overlooked.
The newspaper is working sos days
in the year to promote your interest
and the advance of your community.
Remember US on just one day in the
year, and come in and pay that over
due subscription. Do it today and get
it off your mind!

The Bury the Hammer Club

A club member reported at our last
meeting, that some people think it
is smart to talk against the home
stores. They seem to think that in
this way they give an impression that
they are people of superior discrimina
ton, taste, and perception.
BY this hammering spirit these peo-
pie simply work against their own in
terest They work against home trade
sentiment, and help thwart all the eff
forts the home merchants make tic
build up trade that will support them
in the desire to carry every possible
line our townspeople may need.
Every time you sheer at stocks
carried by the home merchants, you
help discourage the efforts the mer-
chants are making to build up Grand
Rapids as a prominent and growing
trade center. Every time you COM
mend the service they render, speak
well of the goods you buy of them,
you help them in their ambitions to
make our town grow.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1918-07-11

But one town had in it the elements
of growth. Soon it became stable
city, known far beyond the confines
of it's own state.
The other remained as it was, pleas
ant and friendly, and not a bad place
to live in. But it could not grow.
The ambitions of it's citizens were dis
appointed. It's people keep along in
the same rut today that they plodded
thru % years ago.
What makes the difference? Why
does one go ahead, and another stand
still?
Growth is a natural ambition for
any town to entertain. Our people
here in Grand Rapids cherish it. We
have the elements for good business
and agreeable living. But the future
is hidden from us. Have we in our
selves the elements of advance, or
were we built on a stationary model ?
Some conservative people are not
ambitious for growth. They like their
little coy circle as it is, and do not
cordially welcome newcomers in a
town. But that is not the American
spirit. Every wide awake town wants
to double in population and business.
Growth if rightly handled should bring
new advantages, new wealth, more
favorable conditions of living. Let
us give thought then to the conditions
that prevail in growing towns and in
stationary towns, so that we can form
an impression to which class our flu
ture is likely to belong.

OS3,0O0

Final figures on the Second Red
Cross war fund campaign in Central
Division-Illinois, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa and Nebraska-show the
enormous total of $22,182,317 contrib
uted
Only one other division in the nation
surpasses this figure, the Atlantic di-
vision which includes New York.
Central Division was asked origin
ally to give $14,OO0,OOO therefore the
oyersubscription was SO per cent, OF
$3.50, 900.
Revisions of the figures upward are
certain as the weeks pass and the total
may go to approximately s22, 100000
By states the contributions to the
Red Cross were as follows:
Illinois (including Chicago), $40
$4,000; Michigan, 100000; Wiscon-
sin, s2,25O,0O0; Iowa, s2,5O9,317; Ne
braska, s2,3OO,OOO.
The city of Chicago gave $6,400,-
900 of the total for Illinois.
For the whole United States the Red
Cross war fund now stands at $780,
O38,00O.

AMERICAN
PRISONERS
CARED FOR

Germany now has twenty-seven
prison camps where American soldiers
captured in battle are held.
The American Red Cross has accur-
ate information about these camps
and with the aid of the Swiss Red
Cross keeps our soldiers and sailors
supplied with nourishing food, new
clothing, soap and other necessaries.
At the beginning of June there were
about 300 men in uniform in German
prison camps. The American troops
have captured considerably more than
1000 Germans, so the score is more
than even in that respect.
In Berne, Switzerland, the Ameri-
can Red Cross has a great warehouse
from which is sent to each American
prisoner in Germany twenty pounds
of food every week. Our government
pays for this food and equipment anC
| the Red Cross sees that it reaches the
men.
Already there are enough supplies
in the Red Cross warehouse at Berne
to take care of $4,000 American pris
oners-if Germany can take that mum

Deferred Military ClassifcatiOk,
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
In simple justice to group of earn
est and patriotic men. l ask your at
tention to few statements of fact.
The House of Representative adopted
an amendment to the Food Produc-
ton Act of 1919 forbidding the pay
ing of salaries under this act to any
man who has been placed in deferred
military classification on account of
his employment by the Department
Much publicity has been given to this
amendment and it has evoked much
newspaper comment. The men de-
ferred have been announced as slack
ers, and the impression is conveyed
that 1000 clerks in the Department of
Agriculture at Washington have been
sheltered from military service.
The facts are that only 205 men in
the District of Columbia have been
placed in deferred classification on the
recommendation of the Department
and of these, with the exception of
eight administrative assistants per-
forming responsible executive work,
all are scientific or technical employees
engaged in work of the most import
ant character. Much of this work has
to do with such vital war activities as
the development of war gases, the
testing of airplane fabrics, ETC. APP
proximately 100 persons, including
county agents, chemists, veterinarians
meat inspectors, and experts in the
various bureaus of the Department,
have been placed in deferred classif-
cation at the request of the Depart
ment. Not one of these men was de-
ferred on his own request. The de-
partment needs large number of
scientific men to replace those who
have gone to war or who have been
attracted to private employment. For
instance, the Bureau of Animal In
dustry needs more than go veterina-
rians in its work of meat inspection,
without which the health of the SOL
diers especially and of the civil popu-
lation generally can not be safeguard
ed.
Very truly yours,
Clarence Onsley, Secretary.

RED CROSS
DISTRIBUTION

Camp service has grown to be one
of the largest phases of Red Cross
work.
To indicate the volume of this work
it may be stated that up to April 80
1918, the Red Cross had distributed
1922, 906 sweaters 641,971 muf1ers
623,972 wristlets, 454,569 helmets
1,392,352 pairs of socks.
The work for the families of enlist
ed men by the home service depart
ment has been equally impressive. TIC
June Is service had been given in
some form to 202,302 families and
2,054,827 had been expended in this
relief work There are now 20,692
Home Service workers in the United
States under Red Cross supervision.
Then there is the canteen service
with more than 700 units ready to
meet troop trains to give refreshments
to the men, or to take care of those
who become home sick enroute.
The convelescent houses are nearing
completion in all camps to afford en-
listed men bright, cheerful environ
ment for their hours of convelescence
Provision is made for entertainment
and social diversions, which are pow
erful aids in he convelescent stage.
The communication service of the
Red Cross keeps families of enlisted
men informed of their welfare both
here and abroad, if the men are sick
wounded or captured and unable to
keep up correspondence.

Why Towns Grow
very ITuIy yours,
Clarence Onsley, Secretary

1t is a great problem in community
psychology why some towns grow and
others remain stationary Most of US
can see marvellous changes in this
respect. We can look back at a GER
tain pair of towns, and find in the
language of the Scriptures, that one
was taken and the other left.
At the start the two seemed much
alike in situation, size, and character.
