Six horses were hitched
to a two-ton load of hay,
but they could not turn a
wheel. Yet, any two of
the six could have pulled
easily one ton.
They failed simply be-
cause there was no team
work. They wouldn't pull
together.
Every business might
very aptly be described as
a three-team organization
merchandise, service and
advertising.
Each OF the three is
capable of pulling a certain
amount of patronage by
itself, and if all three are
right" the total business
should equal the total of
the possibilities of the
three as separate units.
Very often, however, we
find one of the three sadly
deficient. and still more
deplorable is the fact that
usually this deficiency lies
either in the service or the
advertising.
So if your business is
running below par. look
first to your service, then
to your merchandise and
advertising.

 Argentina is the chief country af- fected by the removal of the embargo or importations of corn. Large stores of corn are held in that country for export, it was said, and this corn may now be sent to the United States and also probably to the allied countries, since most embargoes placed by the War Trade Board were in accord with an inter-allied agreement.

REO GROSS HAS YET
 MUCH N0gK AHFAD
''Thc War Against lie Hun Is Over.
 But the Sears Oi Battle Which The Cory Monster Left Still Remains"

There are 1000 garments in the Red Cross rooms waiting to be made up. Of these 24G are Belgian Relief garments which must be completed and shipped by January 20. The leaders of the local Red Cross work are very anxious that the ladies of the city make every effort to compile te this work.
 While it is generally recognized that much of the grind of war work is over. and there must be a metamorphize from sternuous self denial and hard work, yet il is urged that the work of the Red Cross was by no means com ule.ed with tine signing of the armis tice The Red Cross is perpetual and is everywhere. Red Cross is on the battle front, and in the queter chan | nCls far back from the frontier The Red Cross nurse who risks her life in an attempt to save for her country woman who sits with her needle play 1 ing to and fro in an effort to supply l comfort to the needy are sisters of the same order. Nor one mermits more of i humanity's acclaims than the other. ! The way ill which the women of q nation come forward in the moments of great emergency is written glor- iously on the eternal pages of the his- tory of all ages. The tenderest pas sages from the faded pages of chival- ry, and glory which mark the volume of our Civil war, are those which tell of the magnificent sacrifices rem dered by the women of the men wno went out to fight.
 The war against the Hun is over. But the marks, and scars and stains i which the gory monster of tyranny and rape and murder has left, are not yet effaced. Suffering and pain must be alleviated. There must be relief for the magnificent little country which stood the brunt of the war for five long years. It is not enough to say, poor Belgium
 Clothes and food--material help must be given. The war is over; rela- xation must naturally follow. But there still remains reconstruction; tner ~ still remains work for our women, work which only woman in iHe grand breadth of her sympathy can do.
 It is not enough to have given While we were at war. There still remain suffering and needy souls. And where there is one single defelect soul; where there is one aching heart; where there is one shivering body, racked and wrecked by the hob-nailed oppressors boot, there will be found the Red Cross.
 1000 garments still remain at the Red Cross rooms. Two hundred and forty are Belgian relief garments.
