WHERE ROADS ARE NEEDED
In a recent issue Farm Implement
News says: There is growing con-
viction that more attention should be
paid to roads which lead from the
farm to the market center. Hard
roads are all right, but we will pro-
fit by paying more attention to the
roads over which the farmer must
travel l suggested this same thought
to a group of merchants several years
ago and one of them came back at
me thus: why? If we fix the roads
SO they can come into town they most
ly have cars, and will simply pass us
by and go on into the city" Some
thing in that, but it's only half an
argument. Good roads are fact
from the towns into the cities. Now
il the bad country road keeps the
farmer from going to town and on to
the city, it also keeps him from the
town, and mail orders are more like
Iy to be sent to the city than to the
farm. The easier for the farmer to
get to town, the more business, and
it's up to the town merchant to get
his share of ft-New West Trade.
Authorities ON advertising and pub

tent to which the buying public de-
ponds upon legitimate advertising.
This has been shown in hundreds of
ways in the past few years. The
tractive advertising campaign, and
has a record for good entertainment
back of it, always gets crowd. So,
also, the sotre which brings to the
attention of the public what it has to
offer, draws trade. The buying pub
lie studies the advertising. The adj
vertising columns of the newspapers
and magazines are read almost as
carefully at the home fireside as are
the news columns.

1t may surprise you to know that .
there are just II shopping days be-
tween now and Christmas. Those days
will pass just as quickly as the other
days of the year have passed and
the day before Christmas may find
you flying around almost distracted
yourself and driving the statesmen to
distraction, trying to get Christmas
presents for those whom you know
will expect them and must have them.
Save yourself this grief by shopping
right now.

The United States is better pre-
pared financially to build and main
tain huge navy than any other pow
er in the world. Yet she takes the
lead in reduction proposals and in
dicates a Willingness to make a far
greater reduction in her own navy
than is asked of any other country.I
AS matter of fact the proposition
made by the United States is an ex-
ample of international altruism new
er before approached in the history of
nations.
