HER HAT is FOUND

New Era want ads surely do the
business, and if yuu doubt it ask
some of the people who have been
using them. A few days ago a wo-
man lost hat, yes. <wo hats in one
box. She failed to locate them after
a two weeks search, so put an ad
in last weeks issue and the next day
after the paper came out the hats
were located. The moral is: "why
not use the want ads in the begin
ning?"
Another case, and one wherein we
believe the want ad purchaser doubts
the benefits of these ads. He left a
"lost notice" last January. having
lost a pair of gloves. The ad read:
Finder return to the New Era Of
fice." The ad buyer failed to leave
his name and never came back. but
the gloves came in within few days
and are still here for that owner.
You, when you leave an ad, Just as
well expect results. for there are
more times you'll get immediate re-
suits than where you don't.

That Cartoon Service

]. Thomas, the New Era's cartoon
list, has been furnishing us with some
mighty timely cartoons. Have you
been noticing them for the past sew
eral weeks and have you seen how
direct their application and how sea-
sonable they have been? The one
last week was "The Keystone" 1t
applied to the Victory Loan. Others
have been just as direct and Just as
localized as this one.
This week you will see another
of general interest, and all of these
have been clever enough to draw
considerable favorable comment from
New Era readers.
Over on another page and down at
the bottom is what newspapers term
"Strip Comic" The New Era's strip
comic is entitled Home Sweet
Home" and have you noticed how
applicable they are to the every day
doings and occurances in the aver
age home?

NUMBER YOUR HOUSE

Every street in Ordway has a
name. Every house in Ordway has
a number. so put the number up and
let the stranger and the new mail
carrier know where you live.
The mail carrier has not arrived
yet, but he will not until the houses
are numbered and the streets mark
ed It's up to the city to mark the
streets, but it's up to residents to
put the numbers on their houses.
1t has always been difficult to d.
rect strangers to a place they might
wish to go. Some times 1t is neces-
sary to tell them that Gillhu1y lives
in the three-room mansion painted
green. and that to get to 1t 1t was
necessary to go to the corner where
the church is located and turn east,
then west, and four times around
like dog when he goes to lay down.
and then its the third house over. on

and on your left if you are going
north-but, what's the use. Number
your house and refer to the number.

'Over one hundred and fifty

APPALLING waste of life when we
consider that tuberculosis is

become a conviction that translates
itself into action.
Production canot be increased by
decreasing the hours Of labor. Men
like their wages, and the better the
wages the better they like them
They do not like long hours of work
Excessively long hours are not nee
essary but any reduction Of hours is
little short of crime, just at the
present moment. If men want prices
to come down they must see that part
of the reduction is up to them in do
ing their share to create enough
goods to make the supply meet the
demand.
Economy in buying is as necessary
as production, too. Somehow the
present idea is that unless things are
priced extravagantly they are not
worth buying. Over and over retail
men tell the story Of Sc shoes that go
a-begging until they mark them to
s12 or $14. Then they go with a rush.
The merchants themselves don't at
tempt to explain this phenomon.
They merely see that it is so and
profit accordingly. 1t is estimated
that 80 per cent. of the retail buyers
are women. 1t is to them, then, that
the country must look for bringing
about the reaction from present ex-
travagance to wise and sane buying.
During the war people wore their old
clothes and economized for patriotic
reasons, but as soon as the fighting
stopped apparently they at once be-
gan to make up for lost time, with in
terest, and this is the result. 1t is q
fact. however that the need for econ
omy is just as great now as in war
time, for the cessation of fighting did
not put things back as they were by
any means.
At best the return to normal will
be slow. Nobody can estimate defin-
itely how slow it will be, but various
lines Of industry and production
think 1t will take them ten, twelve,
fifteen years under the best possible
conditions to approach the pre-wa
basis, other things like increa ased
wages, inflated currency and de-
creased hours being taken into con-
sideration.

The Advertising Game,

Its a great life if you don't
weaken" and William Jennings
Bryan has never exhibited any weak
ness of that kind.
Long years he succeeded in having
the Democratic party pay his ad-
vertising expenses. We think he
showed little gratitude when he
queered the job by reflections as to
the significance OF our war-like at
titude. No doubt the Germans were
fooled by it, but it is extremely
doubtful if this was Bryan's inten-
ton.
OF course Bryan gave US Wilson
but there are some who do not re-
gard that as an unmixed blessing and
hints are not lacking that Bryan
himself is not altogether pleased with
his handiwork.
The war was somewhat of Jolt to
William; the Chautauqua demand
fell off: indeed for a time he was as
unobtrusive as something dead and
buried; but little thing like that
does not faze him, he comes TO the
front as cheerfully as on those
numerous occasions when he was
chief mourner at the burial Of the
Democratic party.
Ah, but this advertising game is a
science and Bryan has taken all the
degrees from fellowship with the
