A good way to accustom hogs to the

corn and throw it over the fence to
the hogs just as 1t reaches the adj
vanced milk stage, gradually increas-
ing the amount until in 10 Or II days,
when the corn is well denied, the hogs

It is necessary to watch them closely to

BUSINESS NOT
A BED OF ROSES
For Mum Behind Counter

Because Of scant supply the gro
Ger often has serious trouble in pro-
curing merchandise. He has to stand
the sharp cut of complaints from buy
ers because Of nigh costs. He all too
frequently is blamed, when absolutely
blameless. And is not, on whole,
making wider margin of net profit
than he did when conditions were
normal, trade better satisfied and
business transactions decidedly more
pleasant.
The grocer is your servant. He is
in business to serve your require
ments. He doesn't make you a slave
20 high costs. He is in exactly the
same boat you are in. He sells goods
you want and ask for. He must meet
your demands or get out of business.
He has no choice in the matter. He
can't go contrary to your wishes.
The consumer can do more to-
wards restoring prices to normal
levels than the grocer can. This can
be accomplished with positive GER
tainty by buying only food products
of sound value and proven economy.
Careless buying and rank extrava-
gance are unquestionably vital fac
tors in maintenance of high costs.
When a consumer forces grocer
to sell a sixty-five cent article where
a thirty-hve-cent article would an
swer the purpose equally well he is
encouraging production of high
priced goods of short value and
hampering the manufacture of food
products of sound value and fair
prices. On the other hand, when the
consumer insists on goods of inferior
worth he is inviting Inevitable waste
that stands for loss rather than
economy. In such occurrences the
consumer, not the grocer, is at fault
For, remember, the grocer must
give you what you want despite the
fact that he would rather supply
your requirements with goods of
sterling value at a minimum cost.

tGROCERS WANT
TO HELP LOWER
FOOD COSTS
Not to BLnuae for HC.L.

The idea that the rank and file OF
grocers throughout the country arc
boosting prices for the sake of reaiiz-
ing exorbitant profits is absolutely
false.
Retail prices have gone up because
the retailer has been compelled to
put them up. The grocer has TO pay
more for his goods, more for rent,
more for clerks salaries; consequent
ly, must charge more
Shortage of raw materials, of pro-
ductive labor and a demand that has
far outstripped production are the
direct causes of prcsent-day prices.
AS a rule, the grocer is transacting
business on the same percentage of
profit as in the days of low selling
prices.
Grocers depend upon you for a
livelihood. They know just as you
know that to cheat in any way shape
or form, would kill their trade out
right. Common sense says that no
intelligent grocer will attempt to
kite" prices beyond legitimate prof
its. He can't afford to.

FOOD PRODUCTS
OF Utmost Purity and
Food Value

IL you will but consult your grocer
regarding the true values OF different
grades of goods, you most assuredly
will increase the purchasing power of
your dollars and strike straight at one
of the main roots of high costs by
wedding out extravaganza.
What the buyer demands more
than any other one thing deter
mines the market price of COM
modities ct all sorts. If you demand
full-value foods, insist upon having
them, you will get them and at legiti-
mate prices. Persistent demand for
top-price goods of questionable value
will then be sharply curtailed and pro-
duction stimulated in lines OF max
imum merit. And with this increased
production will come lower costs,
just as sure as day follows night.
The solution OF the problem SO far
as the consumer is concerned is SIM
ply this: select only proudcts of rec
ognized value, sold at lowest prices
permissible under present conditions
eliminate waste-don't encourage
the production of price-heavy prod
ucts-co-operate with your grocer
don't lose sight of the fact that he
must cater to your wishes. Your
demand for the right type of goods
is the best means at your command
