Everyone Knows Him

The other evening | was talking
to a friend about his advertising.
He told me he didn't do any, that
he had been in the same location
for % years and everyone knew
him and knew where he was To-
Gated. When a man has reached
that point know that there is no
use talking to him-he has reach
ed the point where he is not inter
ested in his business and is simply
a hanger on probably because
he cannot afford to close up, for a
man who has been in business for
% years and hash t advertised is
not apt to have fortune to retire
on | could have mentioned sew
eral arguments to him, could have
cited his young competitors who
had been in business only II years
but had moved three times-into
larger quarters each time. They
had not stayed in the same place,
where everybody knew them they
had advertised and grown into
new fields where they had to in
troduce themselves.
/ could have given this every
body knows me" merchant any
number of arguments, but he gave
the best argument himself that
evening after supper. He was
sprinkling some commercial ferti-
izer on his lawn and as | watched
him an idea struck me. | strolled
over to where he was and asked
him what he was doing. OF course

speech to my advertising argu-

tomorrow night I'll begin to sprin-

can't expect the same grass to

Children Need Wholesome Food

At least one-ffth of all the
school children in the United
States are under nourished today,
1T has been estimated. This con-
dition is not the result, as in many
lands, of lack of food, but comes
about because in many eases
American mothers are not giving
their children the right kinds Of
food. The right kind is not nee
essarily more expensive than the
wrong kind and more often costs
less. An undernourished child is
physically, mentally, and some
times morally below par and
shows it in appearance, school
work and conduct.
In order to arouse the attention
OF parents to necessity Of Civ
ing a child proper food, at many
fairs home demonstration agents
working under the United States
Department of Agriculture and
the State agricultural colleges.
have measured and weighed the
children brought to them at their
booths. At the Windsor Fair in
Connecticut III boys and girls
We're weighed and measured by
the home demonstration agent.
The majority were from s to y
years of age. Of the s. boys who
were weighed, 43 were under

have been made with the home
economics committee of the town
t" follow up the cases where there
were marked signs of malnutri-
ton. The children themselves
were much interested and were
keen about learning how to gain
weight and health. Bulletins on
child feeding and suggestions as
to changes in diet were received
with appreciation.

A Grating Session

Several thousands Of dollars
were squandered by the calling of
the special session of the legisla-
tIre. Much more money was
needleSsly spent by tax payers
and others who were forced into
the courts for protection. The
Supreme court rightfully declared
all the proceedings Illegal now
comes the governor with another
call for a special session to try to
force the special districts on the
tax payers anyway. Something
like two hundred and fifty spe-
cialdistricts were passed by this
last special session. If the matter
had been left to the voters or tax
payers they would not have been
formed, especially if the voters
were aware that ) per cent of the
bond issue was going TO engineers
who had just taken mail order
courses and that another ) per
cent of the bond issue was going
as a fee to an attorney who could
not in his natural lifetime earn as
much money in the legitimate prac-
tice of law.
The State has a general law I'M
der which roads have been built
and under which they can be built
wherever the people decide they
can afford to pay for them. The
special acts are unnecessary and
the special session is not necessary
Recently a senator was sent to
the penitentiary on the charge of
accepting $1,000 Of stage" mon
ey to aid bogus act. This was
termed "boodling''
But it is all right and proper
for a senator or representative to
introduce bill creating a special

friend the engineer raking down

The special acts are nothing
but graft in its crudest form

POlNDExTER'S SERVICE.

The nation owes a large debt TO
Senator PoindeXter for the coura-
geous stand he took when the original
covenant of the league Of nations was
presented TO the American public with
the curt admonition, Sign here The
covenant came TO this country with al
the prestige that the administration
press agents could give 1t by months
Of official publicity; it came as a
sacred document to be accepted In
humility, and any proposal to change
1t was officially denounced as Sacr-
legiouS Senator PoindeXter was one
of the few men in public life who was
neither oyeraWed by the artificial
Slemnty thrown around the document
nor intimidated by the unreaSOned sen
timent in favor of it, a sentiment
founded largely ON popular ignorance
Of Just what the covenant meant.
As result of the fearless and clear
analysis Of Senator PoindeXter and
the few other senators who joined with
him, the covenant has been radically
altered, and public sentiment, once SO
enthusiastic for the original draft, now
recognizes the wisdom of the changes

THE Pomdexter bin is Il long step

connected with railway freight rates
Srst attracted my attention in conner-
zion with army work In fact. there
is no question but what the present
railroad tariffs constitute one of the
grossest imposiionS ever practiced
in this country
The tariffs for freight are still
based upon the old principle of charg-
iug all that the traffic Viii bear, a
relic of the days of unregulated mo-
nopoly The railroads have practical
lN driven water transportation out Of
business in many parts of the coun-
try, by making low cut rates at com
petitive points where water carriers
were trying to do business. Then
they made up the losses by oyercharg-
ing in other localities where there was
no such competitions The system was
distinctly selfish one devised for the
greater prosperity of the railroads
and involved the exercise OF autocratic
powers which do not rghtfully belong
to common carriers of goods
"Water transportation can be re-
vived IN many parts of the United
States as Il result Of proper regulation
of railway freight charges. There
are many classes of freight which
might profitably be sent by water to
the benefit of the railroads them
selves"
