PREVENT FUTURE FAMINE

A few weeks ago the American
committee for the China Famine
Fund announced that it would
have to extend its work over n
considerably longer period than
was at first anticipated because n
continued drought was threaten
ing the failure of the spring crops
in the province Of Chilli Since
then things have changed.
Just recently Thomas W, La
mont chairman Of The American
committee, received n cable stat
ing that abundant rains IN some
sections were now insuring the
safety of the crops, while the
contributions TO the famine fund
Of the Chinese themselves had SO

The committee. however, is not
going TO drop its work as soon as
the existing emergency is over.

are left after the actual cost Of

A BIG ACHIEVEMENT

The calling of the disarmament
conference for next November is a
bigger event than some Of us real.
ize. On the surface 1t has seemed
simple enough. But underneath
there has been lot of pulling and
hauling among the nations. Their
conflicting interests have had to be
studied and adjusted 1t has not
been an easy thing to get them all
to come here and lay their cards on
the table and have a frank talk as
to their differences, and as to the
needlessness of a crushing burden
OF competitive armament.
To get these powers to come and
talk II over IS an achievement the
Importance of which should be rec
ognized. President Harding and
Secretary Hughes have done big
thing in putting it over. 1t has
skill, and genuine feeling of in
ternational friendship. Many eff
forts for meetings of this kind in
the past have failed for lack of
these qualities.
Whetheror not the coming con-
ference accomplishes all that is hop.
ed and expected of 1t, the achieve
ment of our government remains
the same. Our people have done
their part to make it success,
and they will offer some kind of
reasonable proposition to other
powers.
If the subject of limitation of
armaments is approached in the
same spirit by the ther nations,
reduction of expense will be saved
all over the world that will elicit
a chorus of rejoicing from all those
overburdened peoples.
The Holly chieftain., 1921-09-29
THE OPPORTUNITY IN
THE PROVISION TRADE

For the past year there has been
much complainst about the prices
of meat and other provisions.
Wholesale values have been greatly
reduced, yet in the majority OF
places retail prices continue high.
Probably one big reason is, that
the retail meat trade has not learn
ed to advertise as well as other
lines.
The fact that prices are high does
not necessarily prove that profiteer-
ing exists. A trade may be split up
into a lot of little shops, which do
too small business to do 1t econ
omically. So the public has to pay
a high price, not to enrich the mer-
chant, but to pay his abnormally
high operating and overhead costs.
The dry goods trade and many
other lines have done business econ
omically through advertising. En-
terprising men would thereby ar
quire such volume of trade, that
the charge per article for overhead
cost, clerk hire rent and etc. was
small.
Meanwhile in many places, the
provision business had been divided
into a number of small stores, none
of them big enough to do business
at a minimum of cost. In such
city there is fine chance for an
enterprising man to develop his
business through advertising. BY
making moderate prices and telling
the public constantly what he has,
he should within year double or
triple his business. That will en-
able him to do business much more
economically, that he. can make
more money on lower prices.
Chain stores have obtained big
hold is many places in the grocery
business, as the result of failure of
such stores to advertise as they
ought to. Probably the reason why
chain stores have not obtained any
such hold in the dry goods trade, Is
that dry goods merchants are usu-
ally good advertisers, as the result
of which they build up a permanent
good will and secure themselves
from competition.

THE FARMERS SHARE

Business will never run right in
this country while great classes Of
the population fail to get their
share of prosperity. Prices of farm
products are today somewhere
about 25 per cent above pre- war
figures. Meanwhile the cost of man
ufactured products is around GO to
Is per cent above pre-war figures.
Business will never be permanent
ly good, until these two conditions
are equalized. Either factory prices
must come down, or farm prices
must go up, and it does not make
much difference which. When the
gap is bridged, you will see bust
ness jump ahead like dog let out
