GREATER
HOLIDAY TRADE


Every advertiser knows this, es-
pecially merchants at holiday time.
How to secure 100 per cent eff
cheney from every cent expended in
holiday ADVERTISING is the big
problem. A few actual facts which
every local merchant should consid-
er carefully are given. These are
based on an experience of fifteen
years and a broad scope of investi-
cation covering the Local Labor
press question from coast to cost.
In at least fifty American cities
the local papers are regularly used
by large department stores, and in
each case the results are reported
as extremely satisfactory.
In many cities the local labor
paper is considered on a full par
with the local dailies as medium
for local advertising by all firms.
In practically every case rates in
the labor paper are less than in the
dailies, but authority states that
one thousand labor paper circuIa-
ton equals in actual purchasing
power, six thousand ordinary circu-
lation. Here's the reason: The la
Dor paper has practically no news
stand or street circulation. News
stands can return unsold copies.
The labor paper is not bought for
sport or stock news and tossed
aside. The labor paper is usually
weekly or monthly--it is not dead"
over night. The man who reads
the labor paper has a family, all of
whom are interested in the paper, as
it is the advocate Of labor rights.
The readers Of labor papers act
on the advertising in the columns
Of their own pspers-they cooper
ate, and patronize those firms who
show a friendly spirit of reciprocity.
This is not theory but a proven
fact. Any merchant who will cater
to and treat fairly the organized
workers will receive direct action.
The workers have the cash. they
take the judgment of their local
editors as to who is fair or unfair,
The holiday trade this year will
be made UP Of over rs per cent of
actual organized wage-earners, the
trades and crafts of the city, and
the part Of wisdom for each and ev-
cry merchant Is to see to it that a
substantial appropriation Is made
for labor paper space.
Today tho big national advertis-
ing agencies buy space in the Local
Labor Press the same as I'm the ma
tional magazines, not on sentiment.
but az cold-blooded business
proposition and when the adver-
Using agencies do this-the local
merchant should not hesitate to do
likewise, for the popularity of Ivory
Soap, Wrigley Gum, Keen Kutter
Tools, Sloan Liniment and Fleisch-
mann Yeast and other lines is
based on quality first and creating
a popular demand "a we'll, and a
large part OF that demand ia now

IS HE RUNNING
ON HIS RECORD?

Lest we forget it would be well
to continue our efforts 10 regain
possession of the city Dock with
the view of operating it in the in
terest of the public.
This property was leased to a
corporation capt, Harry Ramwell,
manager on the 18th day of June.
1907. Who the officers OF this cor
poratiou are. other than Captain
Harry Ramwell, is not known.
The lease was for period OF ten
years and expired on the 18th day
Of June. 1871 Since that date the
city Dock has been operated by
Capt. Harry Ramwell at a monthly
rental Of 500.
Pretty cheap rent, don't you
think, for a property of that value?
Last spring an effort was made by
a few citizens who have the welfare
of the public at heart to take over
the dock and operate it by and for
the people who own it.
Now it is up to the people to see
that the proposition to take over
the City Dock, to be submitted to
the people at the coming municipal
election be made so clear that
no question will arise clouding the
reason for Municipal Operation of
the dock
All Municipal Utilities must be
operated in the interest of all the
people.
Now what the voters who favor
municipal ownership will do if they
arc put wise" will be to cast their
ballots against all candidates for
City Commissioners who cannot
show that their records prove that
they are in favor of the Municipal
ownership and operation of all
public utilities

GOAL MINERS ARE
PROUD Of RECORD
From Savings Divisions of Treas
ury DEPARTMENT.

Union Labor has every right to be
proud of the patriotic record made
by the United Mine Workers of
America throughout the last three
years. The report Of Secretary
Treasurer William Green, made to
Dthe national convention of the Mine
Workers at Cleveland, showed that
t53,S12 members had served in the
American forces during the war, Of
WHOM 1888 had laid down their
hives The international and local
unions together purchased more
than $9,800,OoO in War Savings

tminers are credited with having in
creased coal production from $780,
100000 tons in 1916 to 6S4,O00, 900
tons last year
Proud as that record is. however,
Fhe duty and opportunity for fur
Fher patriotic service has not ended
either for the Miners or other union
men. The economic situation en-
Hailed by the high cost of living

with safe and conservative invest

cIeanina Your Flow.

Many blows. even those that have been we'll covered with oil or axle grease, fail to SCOUT readily when first taken into the field. The following method is being used by many farmers to overcome the inconvenience attend ing the use of blow that fails to clean off quickly: The blow is taken to the nearby branch or creek and drawn a few times through the sand or gravel beds that invariably are found along water courses. It usually takes but a few turns to cut off the rust or hard ened grease. Under no circumstances does the sand stick to the plow, no matter how rusty 1t may be; and If the gravel does not contain large stones the blow will not be dulled.

DROP THE TERM "WOODL OT~
Government Authorities Favor the Word "Woodiand" When Used in
 Reference to Farm Forestry.

The increased interest in private forestry, particularly with reference to farm forestry, has brought about the general acceptance of the term woodland" or woods" instead of the original one of "woodlot," according to the forest service.
 A large proportion of the woodland in the eastern United States is in ir- regularly shaped tracts, spreading out over ridges. ravines, slopes, swamps, and poor lands. whereas "woodlot" carries the idea of a small-sized, reg ularly shaped, and, in a large section of the country, fenced tract. When applied to the large or irregularly shaped tracts, it is obvious that the word fnadequately describes the con ditions. ''WoodlOt" probably origin ated in New England and seems fairly well established there. So long as on- ly conditions like those in New Eng land were considered, "woodlot" was accepted as adequate, but in the last few years farm forestry has been de veloping rapidly throughout the coun- try.
 "Woodland" and woods" are more satisfactory. more expressive, and avoid the possibility of creating con- fusion in the minds of the people over most sections of the country where the word @woodlots" has never been in To- cal use.

Passed the Test

A young man from our town had gone into a training school as an auto mobile mechanic In one of their tests an automobile was taken apart and it was his duty to assemble each part to it's respective place. He had done this with the exception of one piece, which was missing and which he could not find. The c. O. told this young fellow that it was up to him to get this piece, so, taking his superior officer at his word, he proceeded to take the missing part from the com manding officers own car and he was one of four out of a class of 19O who passed the test-Chicago Tribune.
