DEFEAT OF GERMANY
FORETOLD BY OMENS

One of the things most strictly for
hidden by German censorship during
the war was the publication of news
concerning bad omens. Therefore the
truth was just beginning to come out
that Germany's defeat was unavoid-
able according to any number of signs.
In the summer of 1916 lightning
struck the upraised sword of Ger
mania on the Niederwald memorial
and split the imperial eagle and loos-
ened its pedestal. The CANCEL of
Peace" was damaged at the same
time.
A year earlier, the imperial crown
on the cupola of the Bismarck memoir
ial topping the "Prudelberg" outside
Stonsdorf was shattered by lightning
and the same bolt, passing down the
side Of the hill, wrecked the cross on
the memorial to the heroes of the
Franco -Prussian war.
There were other manifestations of
the same sort, but in the minds of the
peasants these alone were sufficient
to prove that "Gott Nit Uns" had
lost its power.

ADVERTISING MAKES
LOWER PRICED GOODS
Unadvertised Goods Have Increased
From 100 to 150@6-Advertised
Have Decreased 25 to 500,

The popular notion that the con-
sumer pays the merchants advertis-
ing bill and that advertising increases
the cost of goods to the consumer is
entirely erroneous, according to bull
letin issued by the general offices of
the Montana Development association
which shows conclusively that since
the beginning of the present era of
initiation, unadvertised goods increas-
ed from 100 to $50 per cent, while ma
tionally advertised goods have shown
an increase of but 25 to SO per cent.
BY increasing the volume of sales,
advertising is big factor in keeping
prices down, says the association. The
retail merchant applies his advertising
on percentage plan and as his adver-
tising increases his volume, it follows
that the advertising in turn can be in
creased.
Low prices go hand in hand with
advertising. Where it would not be
possible to reduce the price of line
of goods to nearly cost only to make
occasional sales to casual purchasers,
the merchant, by advertising the cut
price, can get volume of sales which
will move the goods with the smallest
possible overhead expense.
Without advertising of some sort,
there would rarely be bargain prices,
and the gradual increase in cost of all
lines would be felt much more keenly
as it would affect one line as much
as another. Advertising is not only a
very necessary factor in the success
full conduct of the average retail store;
it also saves millions of dollars an
nually to the consuming public.
The statement that advertising
makes goods cheaper appears paradox
ical to the layman, but careful ex-
animation of the facts and figures
shows that it is an invariable econom-
ic truth and very important one in
the conduct of modern business.

MEAT PRICES ARE
DOWN AFTER LONG
PERIOD OF INCREASE

The advance in the monthly aver
age price of hogs per 100 pounds re.
ceived by producers, which began with
February 1916, comparison being made
with the same month in the preced-
ing year, continued without break
to August, 1919, and the advance was
from $7.07 to $3.50. Since August,
1919, the fall from month to month
was continuous to $12.66 in Decem-
ber, followed by rise to $13.36 in
January, 1920, or $2.33 below the
January price of 1919, according to
the records of the bureau of crop es-
Inmates, United States department of
agriculture.
The average price of sheep per
100 pounds received by producers
throughout the whole year had an
upward movement from 1913 to 1918,
from $4.54 to $10.94, the principal in
crease being in 1917. The average for
1919, 1888, is drop of s1.36 from
that for 1918, or IL per cent.
From 1915 to 1918, the average
price of beef cattle per 100 pounds to
producers advanced from year to year
in each month and the advance con-
tinued from 1918 to 1919 until May,
after which month the average price
in 1919 fell below that of 1918 in each
month, and the average price for jan
uary, 1920, was $500 or &c cents be-
low that for January, 1919. In the
upward movement, the highest month
ly average price reached was $1O.S4
in May, 1919.
Veal calves gained in average price
in every month of every year since
1915, the comparison being with the
same month of the preceding year,
and the price being per 100 pounds
to producers. The yearly average price
rose from $7.63 in 1915 to $12.74 in
1919.

RADIO AMATEURS
ARE PICKING UP
WEATHER REPORTS

An amateur radio operator in North
Dakota has written the weather bu-
reau, United States department of ag-
riculture, that he is daily receiving
the weather forecasts sent out by the
powerful wireless station at Arling-
ton, Va. In Kansas, according to re-
ports, the state agricultural college
is now sending out weather reports
by wireless every morning except
Sunday, for the benefit of a consid-
cradle number of amateurs, many of
whom live in the rural districts of
that state and so are able to be Of
service to the farmers in their neigh
borhoods. No doubt in other parts
Of the country there are those who
are listening in" on the dispatches
sent out by high-powered radio tow
ers.
The sending Of the weather bureaus
forecasts by radio is in charge of the
navy, hence at many points far inland
it is improbable that amateurs could
pick up the messages. The weather
bureau has carefully considered the
possibilities of further use of the wire
less in inland districts, but owing to
an arrangement made some years ago
whereby the bureau relinquished radio
activity in favor of the army for in
land communication and the navy for
coastal work, it has not been feasible
to extend the forecast service in this
manner. However, what the amateur
have been able to do suggests that
others might "pick up" the weather

BETTER SALARIES WILL
MEAN BETTER TEACHERS
Low Salaries to Teachers Have Been
an Injustice to Children
in School.

Low salaries have not injured teach
ers as individuals. The injustice has
been to the children. We hear cries
on every side concerning the injus-
tice to the teacher of the present low
salaries. The injuatice to the chill
dren should be our chief concern. The
insufficient salaries have not inflicted
any permanent injury upon teachers
individually, but the profession has
suffered lowering of standards from
which it will take several years to
recover. Teachers have left the pro-
fession for more lucrative employment
Regardless of the salary that may be
offered, many of them will never re-
turn. Their places have been taken
by others poorly qualified. Our nor
NAL schools show decreased enroll
ment. Even after salaries reach a
just basis, the public will have to wait
some time for supply of teachers
to be trained.
A grave injustice to the children has
been the result. The employment of
teachers who are unable to secure GER
tlficates, as we'll as the closing of
many schools, is affecting the children
OF today to degree that we may not
appreciate for several years to come.
In these days of unrest it is of para
mount Importance that those who must
solve our perplexing social and eco
nomic problems be given an opportun-
ity to equip themselves with an edu-
cation which will fit them for the great
task. Poor teachers are not capable
of giving such training, and only a
higher salary schedule will make
supply of we'll trained teachers pos
sible.

A FEW FACTS ABOUT
SUNFLOWER PLANT

l. The sunflower plant was early
grown in Spain, but the best infor-
nation available points to the fact
that it was first grown and much i'm
proved by the Indians of North Amer
lea.
2. The early commercial Importance
of the sunflower in Russia led to the
development of three special varieties
in that country. These are a large
white-seeded sort, variety with small
black seeds, and an intermediate va
riety of striped seeds. The last-men-
toned variety under the name of MANI
moth Russian is the one commonly
grown in the United States.
3. Comparatively little work has
been done by the experiment stations
of the United States on the yield and
value of the entire sunflower plant for
forage. The Maine Experiment Sta
tion reports yield Of 24.4 tons and
the Nevada Experiment Station yield
of 23 tons of silage per acre.
4. Tests with sunflowers have been
carried on by the Montana experiment
station for four years, 1915 to 1918
inclusive. The tests in 1915 and 1916
were preliminary, to find the yield of
the crop. This was 36.8 tons in 1915
and 31:O7 tons in 1916.
5. Method and date-of-planting
tests were conducted in 1917 and 1918
at the experiment station at Bozeman

MONTANA MERCHANTS
ARE PROGRESSIVE
Patronage of Mail Order Houses Re
suit of Not Knowing What the
Retailer Has.

The merchants of Montana, on the
average, are far ahead of business men
in other states in progressive merchan-
dising, according to Robert C. Line,
prominent economist and lecturer for
the Montana Development association,
and he asserts that for this reason
Montana offers a less fertile field for
the chain store.
Mr.. Line has made several exhaust
i've surveys Of retail merchandising
conditions in several states for univer-
sites and his observation is not super.
ficial; it is based on accurate knowl
edge of the facts.
Montana merchants as a rule are
both progressive and aggressive" said
Mr.. Line. "Even in the smaller towns
OF the state one finds very complete
stocks, up to date display and selling
methods as we'll as generally compe-
tent merchandising. They are also
keenly interested in any suggestions
for improvement. The excellent stocks
carried may be accounted for by the
very general prosperity throughout
the state, which has always obtained.
II have found that in many cases
those who send to mail order houses
for goods have done so more through
ignorance Of what the local merchant
can offer them than on account of the
inability of the merchant to actually
sell goods as cheaply and furnish the
desired merchandise. An investigation
will convince one that, in the aggre-
gate, money can actually be saved by
trading at home"
Mr.. Line believes that the Montana
Development association offers the To-
cal merchant an excellent opportunity
for education along the lines of bet
ter merchandising and declares that
the organization is the most import
ant step the merchants of the state
have ever taken.
"The association not only is doing
valuable work in educating the pub
lie to the fact that the merchants of
the state are not responsible for high
prices and have not profited by them,"
says Mr.. Line, "but it is also carrying
on a most constructive and important
work in bringing about feeling of
greater confidence between the retail
er and the consumer.
ut is demonstrating to the mer-
chant that it will pay him to take the
public into his confidence"

reports, thereby securing them con-
siderably in advance of the published
reports. To do this it will be neces-
sary to ascertain the exact time that
the forecast is sent out and the wave
length used. The weather bureau will
be glad to inform inquirers as to the
points at which the federal govern
ment sends out weather reports by ra-
dio, but it will not have information
as to such activities by other agencies.
