BUYS YEARS ADVERTISING

Big Stone ight-There is some
thing new in the Headlight this week.
II. l.. Hyatt came down from his home
ten miles up the lake and inquired
what our rate would be on a certain
amount of advertising space by the
year. We told him and he said he
would take it. He said he always had
to sell or trade, or else
wanted something. and he believed
that a regular space in the Headlight
in which he could put any thing he
pleased at any time would be just the
thing to get results. So there you
are. We have done a good deal of
for farmers in the last
twenty years, but this is the first time
we ever sold a farmer a years space.
A good many farmers put up bulle-
tin boards in front Of their farms,
and put on notice of whatever they
have to sell from time to time, which
Is a good idea, though in these days

THE PUBLIC TAKING A HAND

The consumers of the country, and
all of us are consumers, are not only
willing but glad to pay reasonable
prices for the necessities of life, but
when they get the idea that profteer-
ing is going on they are ready TO raise
a revolt. Nearly every day We read
Of organizations being started TO COM
bat to some extent the high cost Of
living. There are those who are buy
ing and will continue to buy things,
no matter what the cost, and mer-
chants are there 10 accommodate them
with the class of goods these reckless
ones think they want and must have.
Some people use harsher term than
reckless. AS q protest against the
report that mems suits will be more
than double in price next spring than
they were before the war there is talk
OF adopting a general costume Of
uniOnals to combat the upward ten
dency Of prices in clothing Some go
so far as 10 recommend the use of
y.
Old clothes clubs have been actually
formed and many individuals econom-
iZing In the same way. by wearing
their old clothes. The women of Illi-
nois are taking the lead in the attack
on the high cost Of living. The leader
of the state organization has issued
her first manifesto: stop buying.
Refuse 20 pay luxury prices and un-
reasonable costs for the common food
stuffs. Buy only what is necessary.
Stop eating dollara-dozen eggs and
so-cent butter. Postpone purchase Of
fur coat and expensive suit, and watch
prices tumble" She was considerate
enough not to set the date for starting
the campaign until after the holidays.
1t is reasonable to suppose that We
are not going back to old normal
prices. but we are bound to have re
adjustments. (

THE CROWS NEST


In one Of the cities in this state four
teen youths, ranging In age from Ia
to 25 years were rounded up and IT
the local court openly admitted that
they had been pilfering from an ex
press company for months and the
total amounted to several thousand
dollars. The express company says
il has recovered over $4,000 from the
bows. II is said that detectives who
| Investigated the case charge that the
youths had been living lives of reck'
less extravaganza with the proceeds
of their loot" The local paper re-
marks that such conditions edo not
obtain exclusively" in that city and
that "it is the natural result Of war
and that history has recorded similar
periods after its other wars" Not
all Of the cases of petty larceny can
he laid to the result of war, for habits
of extravaganza had been growing rap
idly for a decade or two before the
war. During the war excessive spend
ing declined somewhat, but has been
making up for lost time since the
armistice. Wages have been gradu-
ally going up and those who had en-
ployment and are still employed are
spending freely, but those who do not
or will not work have to find some
way Of getting money to maintain ex-
travagant habits which they formed
in earlier days when they perhaps
were living on allowances. When al
lowances are cut off or limited and
habits still keep on growing, with no
means Of meeting increased expenses,
then trouble begins. Several in
group who can afford it, or their par
ents can, set an extravagant pace and
those who cannot afford 1t and ought
not to try 1t, are led into temptat on.
If they have easy consciences they
will take dangerous risks rather than
trying to economic and live within
their means. They may not be vicious
at the outset, but when the first step
Is taken all may be lost. 1t has been
suggested that the community as a
whole is more or less responsible for
the safekeeping of boys by providing
for and Offering wholesome surround
Ings, but it Is hard to compete with
the many inducements for spending
money that one finds in city. There
are too many lures for extravaganza.
The best way to keep out of trouble
Is to try to live within ones means.

REBoUNOING TRADE

Sioux City Journal-The manner in
which trade and industry rebounded
when the compression resulting from
the coal strike was removed is one
of the surprises of the last seven days.
II shows as nothing else could the
healthy condition OF both trade and
industry, IL they were relieved OF the
collateral influence which effect them
at different stages. Supplies of bunker
coal on the eastern seaboard increased
the coastwise and foreign shipping.
Delivering of fuel and the removal OF
restrictions enabled industries which
had been forced to suspend or to re-
duce operations to resume on full time
with resultant increases in output.
There has been an active buying OF
iron and steel for immediate and
spring deliveries, indicating a con-
struction season Of unusual activities.
The cold wave, which has covered all
the northern portion of the country
for more than fortnight, has in
creased the retail demand for heavier
clothes and the trade has displayed
a marked increase in bulk.
The foreign business situation is i'm
proved. Exchange has steadied, though
it has not rallied materially. With the
English and French exchanges at their
lowest point in years, foreign buyers
are unable to make purchases in this
country, when they realize that the
low rate Of exchange will increase the
face value of their bills more than
one-fourth. The passage of the Edge
bill by congress has stimulated foreign
buying of grain and hog products and
slight advances in the prices Of these
commodities may be expected as re-
suit.
The cost Of living last week showed
4 slight decline on the whole, caused
by lowered prices on butter, eggs,
pork and potatoes. While these re-
ductions did not reach all consumers.
It is evident that where they did not,
the retailer is responsible for the
preservation of the higher level.
Hides and leather showed a slight
decline, but not sufficient to fore.
shadow any reduction in the cost Of
shoes and other leather goods. Holi
day trade bounded upward, following
the ending Of the coal strike. and the
last seven days show an aggregate
Of retail buying equal to that Of the
entire previous pre-holiday season
The outlook is that the few remaining
days until Christmas will break al
records for total holiday trade.

mont and the packers came too late

THE PACKER CASE

On thexface of it the news aDou
the governments settlement with INC
packers may appear to the puDilc d.
one of the most important items VI
the week. A campaign was SIal'eu
against the "big five" as a part o'
the general plan to start war OH
the high cost of living. The case
against the packers was wlthdra"h
when they agreed to cease dealihs
I'm all kinds of food products, other
than meats and he by-products OF the
hacking industry. 1t was claimed that
their entering into the wholesale gro
Gerry business and even reaching out
into other lines, was the creating OF
such giant monopoly that the com
bine would soon have the whole OF the
business Of the country in its grasp.
The question now is, as to what el-
feet this dissolution will have upon
nrices In the future. If it starts
break in unreasonable prices OF 1000
products the general public VIII De
thankful and the government VIII get
the credit for it. If it does, some
other methods of attacking the subject
will have to be devised. In the light
of past history, the dissolution of other
combines did not accomplish all that
was expected to be accomplished.
These instances a'e so well-know that
n list of them need not be mentioned
at this time We await the next point
of attack. The grocers having won the r
contention and forced the packers to
surrender their wholesale grocery
trade, II Is incumbent upon the grocers
now to see that the cost Of the COM
modities Is not increased to the con
sumer by the elimination of their most
dangerous competitor. II the prices
should advance the public will under
stand that the excessive profits have
been laid down by one element and
taken up by another. 1t will turn its
attention to the wholesale grocers and
see that they, too, take warning from
the fate OF others and stop profiteer-
ing II Is all right to remove their
competitors, but they must not take
his place.
