If the relatives of soldier or sailor
abroad have received no word from him
for an unreasonable length of time and
desire to inquire as to his welfare; or if
they have received word that he has
been wounded and desire to receive ad-
ditional information; or if they have
been notified of his death and desire to
receive additional information, they
should write to the Bureau of Communi-
cation, American Red Cross, Washington,
ID. c., or Red Triangle League, 603 A.
o. U. W. Bldg, Little Rock, Ark, giving
the full name of the soldier, his rank
when last heard from, his serial number,
the name of his unit, his age, and the
date when he entered the service. By
giving this information in full, it will
be much easier to find the record of the
Soldier and to also make certain that they
have the right man and not some one
with a similar name. It is well for rel
atives to make certain that they have
the correct serial or Identification tag
number of the soldier to avoid all uncer-
tainty.

Necessity For Newspaper
Advertising Greater Un-
der Present Condi-
tons
Will Promote Intelligent Buying
And Thus Save Time Of De-
creased Force of Sales
people

| IL the merchants of your community
are inclined to adopt the idea that there
| is less necessity for newspaper advertis-
ing under present conditions than there
is under normal conditions, you have a
| task to perform that should not be put
aside by other activities during these
busy times.
There are dozens of reasons why news
paper advertising should be continued and
increased at the present time and it is
important that newspaper publishers
should bring these reasons to the atten-
ton of the business men of their COM
munities on every possible occasion. An
increased volume of advertising will do
much toward Tightening the burdens
that every newspaper is bearing.
Some suggestions that should be of
value in this connection are contained in
the following editorial appearing in the
Philadelphia Record:
"a great many merchants are short
handed The difficulty Of securing a
sufficient number Of employees to prop
erly handle their business will be stead
lily increased when the drain upon the
eighteenth forty-fve classes for army
service get well under way.
Gin these circumstances, the advan
tage of getting two peoples work out
of one salesperson without. increasing
his hours of service is obvious. It can
be done ply intelligent advertising.
cit may take an average of Is min
Utes to serve a customer who visits the
store for the purpose Of making GER
tain purchase without having previously
formed a definite idea of exactly what
that purchase is to be, where it is to be
found and what price will be charged.
Such customer will expect to be shown
dozen or more articles of the general
description he or she desires, and will
take up lot of the salesperson s time
in examination, discussion, deliberation
and decision.
"On the other hand, the customer who
has obtained from newspaper advertise
ment complet2 information about the
contemplated purchase ,can be served
with satisfaction in less than half the
time. The salesperson who handles we'll
advertised wares can wait upon two or
more persons in the time that it takes
another to serve one buyer Of unadver-
tised gods, because in the latter case the
seller has to do the advertising personally
as he goes along. '-Publsher' Auril

PAY IN PATRIOTISM.

:" At this time, when the United States
government is doing its utmost to stamp
out waste wherever waste exists, it should
be one Of the obligations Of the shop
uing public to pay its bills promptly.
BY SO doing men and women engaged in
writing dunning letters and other col
lection work would be released for more
important labor. The saving thus made
would give the merchant an opportunity
to invest it in Liberty bonds or SUBJ
scribe to the Red Cross.
"Unproductive effort must be elimi-
mated. Therefore, it is the duty of every
one to cooperate by the prompt payment
of their bills. Why not begin nowa"
If it is wasteful from the standpoint
of the merchant to have bills running
longer than reasonable time it is equal
ly wasteful to the consumer. The need
less expense saddled onto the merchant
is ultimately passed to the consumer in
higher prices. Slow payment Of bills
slows up the circulation of money, max
ing less available cash and limiting the
borrowing and lending power.
Ii everybody pays bills promptly it
will speed up things all along the line,
saving money, labor, time and worry.
Business in general would be very much
improved, consumers would be much
benefited and all in this way would be
materially helping to win the war. We
believe, if merchants would use some
judgment in collections of bills, col
lectors would be unnecessary.-People s
Gazette (Thibodaux).

WE4THER WILL CONTROL.

The planters are trying to work out a
problem of saving the present cane crop.
II the weather is good, then it will be
certainty because the work will be
slow on account of the scarcity of labor
and the task can be completed, but if an
early freeze comes, or the wet season
comes at time when every energy and
industry will be stretched to its last ca
pacity, then it is a certainty that part
of it will be lost. Cane is different from
almost any other crop, in that it must
be harvested when it is ripe, and every
safeguard must be applied in the move
ment from the fields to the factories.-
