FIGHTING THE SAyAGES.

~-HE Savage stores throughout the country
are known as cut-rate shops, that is most
people believe they are. One OF these estaD-
lishments anchored at Waterville. There was
no demand for this store at Waterville, but 1t was
there and proposed to do all the business it could.
The company specialized in groceries. There IS
q grocerynan there by the name OF Rudey, ana
he is live one, right off the end OF the bat Inc
newcomer seemed to have some prestige winch
Rndev had to overcome if he expected to sell
goods in that city. The first thing Rudey dld
WAS to 90 to the Advance office and contract for
Ia good liberal space for year, ad to be changed
every week. He offered special prices for Ger
tain days in the week, often times selling goods
At less than cost To his amazement and delight
|ha saw MANY new customers coming to his store
every day. some from quite distance. Soon ne
had to add to his clerical force to properly take
care Of his large and rapidly increasing business
He was doing great service for Watervlle' anu i,
incidentally building up the greatest grocery ana
provision trade in Southern Minnesota he was
demonstrating the possibilities in any line OF busl-
ness. He might have laid down when Savage
moved in but he didn't, Rudey preferred to ngnt
# out along progressive business lines, ana ne
won, easily He is doing four times the business
he did before the new store started, ana says ne
is going to grow some more. We DO not mentlon
this to boost Rudey for we have no more interest
in him than we have in hundreds OF other mer-
chants, but his case seems to offer the best llu-
stration Of what can be done along the lines OF
nubcity to increase business. Rudey, OF course
IS an exceptional character, he goes after GER
tain thing and stays, with bull dog tenaclty, until
he gets it. Therefore his case is no dlHerent
from that of hundreds of others situated just as
he was. With him it was a case OF get pussy
or lose out-he preferred to get busy, and TO-DAY
he is master of the situation, no competitor can
tin him over his foundation is good, ne has pulit
m the business himself and knows he can not only
hold #. but will add to it. Mr.. Rudey's advertls-
ING has not been expensive, for he did not take
large space, but it has been persistant, always
giving prices, feature in ad writing that IS ap-
nreciated out on the farm. He has filled his space
every week with real store news, feature too Of
ten neglected by the average ad writer People
want store news just as much as they want any
other kind Of news, and the merchant who gives
then that kind Of news is going to win out. The
business man who thinks he cannot afford to give
his customers the information they want is IN the
wrong kind Of business. The case of Mr.. Rudey
is worthy Of the attention of every merchant, big
and little.-LeSueur Herald.

Don't pack any put-aside garments away in the
attic this year, on the suppositon that some day
we'll get that out and make it over. Ten chances
to one you'll never do it-and in the meantime
the need for the material in these garments is
greater than your personal need will probably
ever be. From the Executive Secretary of the
Redwood County Red Cross comes most earnest
appeal for used garments and shoes for use
throughout the county. From relief committees
in every locality come similar appeals Women
are pedging themselves to remodel or repair
these garments so that they are wearable and
useful-and it is a very necessary part OF relief
plans everywhere that these workers be supplied
with materials. It is not an extravagant discard
ing of clothes that we are suggesting; everywhere
recognized the need of the strictest of personal
economy. But we are asking that you put every
bit of useabe material or clothing to work. If it
won't work in your own family, put it where it
will.

more clinics! S
Another appealing feature and we regret that
b1mar nature Is such that this feature does make
such strong appeal is the fact that lffty-fve
percent of the funds raised in each county re-
mains right in that county to be used in clinics
heath surveys, anti -tubercular work etc. Forty
cent goes to the Minnesota State Public Health
Association which is doing such a tremendous
GOOD for the citizenry Of Minnesota Five percent
goes toward the support Of the National Tubercu-
losis Society So when you buy that Health Bond
remember that it is for the children Of Redwood
County and maybe for the benefit Of your own
bows and girls, that you spending the five or
ten dollars,
The members Of the Twentieth Century, the
Equality and the Womens Clubs earnestly ask the
help and all the help it is possible for the citizens
Of the town to give them, and just as ardent an
appeal from other sources is being made to the
people Of other communities These women re-
cognize as do mothers everywhere, the big import
ance Of the cause they are representing. They
realize that even though there is, as we have
heard it said there is, scarcity OF money, this
cause must not be neglected, that Christmas gifts
must be made fewer and simpler, and less expen-
siye. that "extras" must be dispensed with in the
homes in order that the children Of the county may
reap the benefit.
So we are urging that organizations and indiv-
iduals buy these stamps. Buy as many Of them
as YOU can possible afford and then buy Health
Bond that you are not quite sure you can afford
The Bonds are especially adapted for purchase by
organizations, and those lodges and societies
which carry an ideal Of alturistic work, will do

p. S. When you have bought all Of these things
that you can reasonably be expected to, we know
of several other things Of begging nature that
we are going to suggest to you. That's what you

Being in the newspaper business means being
busy The work is never over within news
paper office. The news is never all in, the type
is never all distributed, the mail is never all de-
.livered before new news has to be handled, new
types have to be set, new mails dispatched. When
person has a job in newspaper office he need
never be unemployed. He can work his silly self
to death if he half wants to. Moreover, the num-
Der of people employed in newspaper office,
great or small, is limited only by the earning cap
actiy of the establishment. There is SO much for
everybody to do that whenever little profit ap-
pears on the balance sheet new names appear on
the pay roll. This is as true of the New York
Apogee as Of the Hickory Hill Herald. Being in
the newspaper business means to wonder if the
army Of the unemployed is as miserable place
as it is represented to be. Not to have something
to do that must be done on schedule time does
not seem to newspaper man condition Of ex-

WE ARE BEGGfNG AGAIN.

wv E were told the other day that our news
\x/ paper was getting monotonous ebecause
you are all the time begging for some
public cause"
We don't mind that sort of reputation bit
and, having acquired it, we mean to live right up
10 all of it.
This time we are making Plea real earnest
with ll-our-heart sort of plea for every one to
buy-and ,lse-the little Christmas Seals now on
SALE
The club women of the city have pledged them
sleeves to sell as many as possible Of these seals
and of the health bonds which are sold for the
same purpose. The school children Of the city
are making a house to house canvas, cooperating
with the women in their effort to make Redwood
Falls sale worthy one.
These seals may look bit insignificant as to
size but the things that they do, when enough Of
them are put into action, are mighty indeed.
First of all they pay all the expenses in the
Health Crusade which is the best possible method
OF teaching the children Of the schools all those
habits of personal care and attention which mean
SO much in the physical welfare of both children
and grown-up people. Without the annual sale
Of health seals it would be impossible to put on
this crusade which. has now become one Of the
child in the county.
But this is one Of the least of the many good
things which these seals do. Redwood County
has been much benefited the past several years
through the clinics of various kinds held through
out the county under the direction of the school
nurse and the clinics are financed solely by the
seal sale each year.
Last year there were nineteen Of these clinics
held at various places in the county, the examlna-
ton given by splendid physicians, free OF charge,
covering nose and throat troubles, teeth troubles,
malnutrition, and the baby diseases.
During these clinics over TWELVE HUNDRED
children were given this examination and atten-
ton by the attending physicians, everyone OF them
specialist Of reputation in the particular trouble
for which the clinic was held Now it is possible
that many Of these children would have received
attention had there been clincis, butt is pro-
bable that the larger number Of them would have
received no attention and would have gone on
until it became too late to correct the trouble.
There are two elements in this probability; the
first Of these is the poverty Of many parents which
makes it impossible for them to take these chill
dren to specialists for examination. The second
is ignorance; many parents fail to recognize that
there is anything wrong with the child and fail to
seek medical advice. When this medical advice
is brought to their own neighborhood, and the
other parents are talking clinics and planning for
visits to the clinic these thoughtless or unsuspect-
ing parents will go too, and the result IS that
frequently child who was supposedly well has
been discovered to have troubles that sadly need
correction. There is no greater factor ii health
growth and health education than these clinics

o. C. lie Page, and at other places
in the state where they have rela-
tives; thence home by the way OF
Kansas, stopping to visit Mrs. LIE
Pages sister at Utah, Kan. They
expect to be home by Nov. j. They
are making the trip in their Ford,
and have it equipped in tourist style.
In a number of cities, they state,
there are regular tourists parks.
Mr.. LIE Page and family were accord
ed splendid treatment along their
way and think it fine way to travel
and see the country. When they
reach home they will have travelled
about 5000 miles.
They left their home in Guernsey
county about five years ago, for
Texas, then making the trip by auto.
Mr.. LIE Page bought uncleared land
in the Rio Grande valley, which was
then very cheap, and on which he
now raises oranges, lemons and
grapefruit, making a speciality of the
latter. The grapefruit of that place
is claimed to be the best favored of
any grown in the United States. Mr..
LIE Page grows his fruit without fer
tilizer. His orchards are irrigated
with water from the Rio Grande.
Land such as he owns now sells at
$4,000 to $4,000 per acre. On his
long trip Mr.. lie Page met with
many types of people, and has many
interesting incidents to relate. So
far he has had no car trouble to
speak of.
The best roads, he reports, that
he travelled over after leaving Texas,
were in Ohio, on his way to Cam
bridge The worst were from Cam
bridge here, excepting cobble
stone road he passed over in Ken
lucky.
