There died in the city of Chica-
90 recently man who did more
harm to rural and small town mer-
chants in his brief span Of years
than all other men combined. The
papers credited him with being
the originator of the "send-only-
one-dollar" mail order ads. His
estate totalled millions, and not o
dollar of it came from the pockets
of those who lived in the same
city with him. His field was the
small towns and the rural dis
tricts of the United States. His
travelling statesmen were news
papers and magazines that make
a speciality of this "send-only-a-
dollar" class of advertising. This
man learned early in life that hui
mainly win buy anything under
the sun if it looks cheap. He also
found out that when people buy
ON the installment plan they never
stop to figure how much more ex-
pensive it is than buying for cash.
And he also knew that advertising
viii sell goods when no other
agency OH earth can. So he started
his send-only-a-dollar" advertis-
ing, and ne piled up millions-mil-
lions that should have remained
in the small towns and along the
rural routes from whence they
came. Today the country is full Of
his followers. Every post Office
has its patrons of this class Of mcr
chandising, and the worst feature
of it all is, the number is increas-
ing. All of the warnings issued
BY weekly newspapers against the
practice of taking chances on such
ads seems to be going for naueht.
There appears but one way to off
set it to any extent, and that is for
the home merchants TO tell their
patrons, in season and out, that

quire, PLENTY of WHAT"
Uncle Sam is turning out post
age stamps at the rate of forty
million a day, and from the
amount of political matter going
through the mail it looks like he
will have 10 increase the output.
In conversation with a we'll
known resident few days ago be
expressed the belief that the ten.
dency all over this country to re-
duce the size Of farms is move
in the right direction. He argued
that the most profitable farm III
the world is the small farm--a
one-man farm as he calls it.
He said it is more profitable be.
cause it is cultivated more closely.
And then we told a farmer friend
about the conversation, and he
said The large farm can still be
operated at a profit, but sooner or
later the big farms will be split up
and men viii secure for them
selves one-man farm when they
find they can live better and have
more of the comforts of life that
way than any other way" The
one-man farm is a live topic all
over this countryitoday.
NE feel sure that readers of the
New Record do not appreciate the
talk they hear these days about a
paper shortage. Parents buy a tab
let for the school child or a few
sheets of writing paper for them
selves occasionally and imagine
that so long as these articles can
b. had this talk Of shortage
must be overdrawn. On the other
hand it is a hundred times worse
.han the average citizen knows
anything about. Post Office figures
show that since January 1st more
than nine hundred papers have
been forced to suspend publica-
ton because of their inability to
secure sufficient newsprint paper
or to meet the price demanded

BRINGS TOTAL UP
TO ABOUT $4,000

The highest amount yet received
from any one source in the Wilmington
Community Service campaign was
given today by Pierre S. dupont who
contributed $500 to John p. Nields,
chairman, stating that he wanted It ap-
piled to the essential features OF the
service.
The announcement came just at the
time the workers were mapping out
their work for the day and has inspired
them TO even greater efforts.
Mr.. duPonts generous contribution
was made unsolicited. He stated he
gave the money because he believed
thoroughly in the efforts peing made
by the service TO bring the people OF
the city into neighborly contact
through wholesome recreational activ-
ity and because he had observed the
success Of the committees
enterprise during the past year.
During the week Of the campaign,
Mr.. dupont was in Honolulu and there
fore the matter had not been brought
to his attention by the solicitors during
the campaign period.
