BACK TO THE FARM

It begins to appear that the "bacl
to the farm" movement has started
and that the strong trend Of popula.
ton from the country to the city
which was manifested since the be-
ginning of the war has been checked,
if not reversed. The Department Of
Agriculture reports that the farm la
Dor situation is decidedly easier. In
the South there is surplus of labor
while from the West it is reported
that the supply is ample and that wag-
es are considerably lower than last
year. Reports from other sections in
dictate that the farmers will have no
labor problem to worry them this
year. These conditions indicate that
many thousands of families who left
the farms recently and moved to ur-
ban centers. attracted by higher wag-
es and by the alurements of city life,
are going back to the filling of the soil.
They have found that life in the city is
no one round of pleasure but that it
has it's vexations, too. Higher rents,
higher cost of foods ana fuel and
other problems which confront the
urban dweller make the free and in
dependent life of the country more at
tractive. If this "back to the farm"
movement continues and assumes
larger proportions it will have pow
erful effect upon the economic life Of
the nation. With farm labor plenti-
full at reasonable wages the production
of crops can be accomplished at fair
cost, which will insure cheaper food
to the populace. And the trend to ru-
raj communities will relieve the con-
gestion in the cities and thus help to
solve the housing situation.--Wash-
ington Post,

LOWERS THE
COST OF GOODS.

In one of its advertising talks tc
dealers, the International Harvester
Company proves conclusively that ad.
ertisinC does not add to the cost Of the
goods.
"One of the outlawed, motheater
ideas that still persists in some minds
is the one that advertising is an extra
item that has to be snddled to goods
and makes them cost more.
'If this were really true, the whole
fabric of advertising would collapse OF
its own weight in less than six months
in fact, it never would have. existed.
"When large department stores hire
highly paid experts to write their ads
for them, and take thousands of dol
lars worth of space in the papers, they
don't do it for the fun of spending mo-
ney to tack onto the cost of their
goods.
"For they know that volume of bust
ness is what keeps expenses down, and
advertising is absolutely essential to
get the volume.
"If motor car manufacturer puts
up an expensive plant, with possibly
single giant trip hammer costing
fifty thousand dollars, and then builds
emily one car, what will be the cost of
it?
"But when through national and To-
cal advertising, he GETS he demand
that enables Kim to turn them out by
the thousands. right then is when he
is able to put price on them that is
in direct inverse ratio to quantity.
ain the good old days when nickel
bought something. you often sold an
article "a nickel apiece, six for quar-
ter What was tie idea?
"You were simply paying a sixteen
and two-thirds per cent premium on
volume.
"Good advertising serves exactly
tie same purpose, and costs you a
much smaller r.:argin.
"But so-called advertising, which
does not advertise, is only an item of
expense to you. When you substitute
the I sell idea for Why you should
buy it becomes liability instead
Of an asset.
"Giye your customers real, interest
stimulating facts about goods in sea-
son, and you will prove to your own.
satisfaction that good advertising
costs no one anything in the long rum"

DOES MISSISSIPPI FLOW UPHILL


"Does Mississippi river flow up
hill?" is frequently the subject of
school debates, and such debates us
ually arise from inaccurate or indef-
mite use of the terms uphill" and
"downhill."
In answer to correspondent who
recently made this inquiry, the United
States Geological Survey sent the fol-
lowing reply: Some people describe
"down or at lower elevation" when
referring to two localities, as the one
nearer the center Of the earth, and
consider the upper" of the two as
the farther from the center. If only
a small area is considered this is prac-
tically true, but in reference to widely
separated localities such as the source
and the mouth of the Mississippi riv-
er, such definition would lead to an
absurdity and must therefore be in
correct. The surface of water at rest
is level surface, as that phrase is
usually understood Any particle of
matter above such surface will be
at higher elevation, and if acted on
by natural forces alone will tend to go
down toward the water. Mean sea
level is the surface generally accepted
as the datum or reference plane for all
topographic elevations.
The source of the Mississippi river
is about 1900 feet above mean sea
level. Therefore the unrestrained wa
ter at the source of the river, under
the action of natural forces tends to
60 down to sea level at the rivers
mouth.
AS the equatorial radius of the
earth is about 10 miles greater than
the polar radius, and as the interme-
date radii differ in length between
these limits, and as the source of the
Mississippi nearly 10 degrees of lat
tude farther north than its mouth, it
follows that the river mouth is about
four miles farther from the center of
the earth than its source. The COM
bined effect of gravity and centrifu-
gal force makes the water of the riy-
er run downhill, although actually the
water moves away from the center of
the earth in doing SO.

COUNTRY TOWN BOOSTING

Right now agriculture is our big
important problem and it is the prob
lem Of the manufacturer, the mer-s
chant, the newspaper and newspaper
editor, the banker and the general
public just as much as it is the prob

Agriculture, above all industries, is
entitled to constructive publicity. Ag-

pleasure and profit. We don't want to
hurt their feelings, but lover can
have more pleasure driving one
horse buggy than he can with the fin
est car that runs on rubber. An au-
tomobile going 60 miles an hour is no
place to tell girl that she has the
sweetest laugh, the cutest nose, the
bluest eyes, the reddest lips, and
other things that fellow tells girl,
four miles down the road. Just about
the time he gets to the nose or the
lips he suddenly notices that he is GO
ing over the fence in the general di-
rection of the ground. No young man
can pour out all that is in his heart
when he has to keep both hands on the
wheel; he should have at least one arm
free to put on the right emphasis; in
fact his technique will be better if he
hangs the lines over the dashboard.
In this way real good worker can
make so much progress in the right
direction that the horse will turn its
head around and rubber at what is GO
ing on. The old one-horse buggy, with
creak in the off hind wheel. an egg
rolling around in the back part, the
top decorated with timothy seed, fea-
theirs and other signs of the barnyard,
has made more hearts beat as one
than all the automobiles ever con-
structed in Michigan.-Dexter Mes
