ADVERTISING IN DULL PERIODS

Establishments which have adver-
tised generously and agressively this
year, and which have advertised jul
diciously and truthfully, have felt
practically no adverse effects of the
general business depression. On the
contrary, they have fiourished better
than ever and have kept their stocks
continually on a replacement basis,
absolutely prohibiting loss through
liquidation.
Bankers of all cities and towns re-
port that there is plenty of money
in the land. The total of savings
are larger than ever. The fact that,
although this reaction has been the
worst in modern times, there has
been minimum of want, bears out
their statements. The buyers strike,
as it was called, was sot due to lack
of money, but to dissatisfaction with
prices, and determination to pur-
chase goods only when terms were
agreeable.
Establishments which advertised
have been able to overcome the OBJ
jections of reluctant customers and
to readjust their business to changed
conditions. They lowered their prices
advertised, and disposed of their
stocks of merchandise. Then, they
bought new goods at lower prices,
advertised, and sold out all their
wares again. By aggressive advertis-
ing they have, with reduced prices,
kept their totals of sales up to last
years totals.
1t behooves merchants who have
not benefited from the profitable
example of liberal advertising to
adopt this policy and pursue it until
the situation is stabilized complete
ly. The public buys when prices
suit them. The dull season is the
time when advertising should be
most vigorous, for advertising will
both create and increase trade.
Establishments which have pros
pered amazingly will not deviate
from their successful methods. They
will persist with their intensive pub
licity and reay the rich rewards all
through the year.

HAY AND FREIGHT

1t is costing the farmers of Kan
sas $24.84 per acre to produce and
place alfalfa f. o. b. cars local
shipping point. This is the tabula-
ton just made by Secretary Chas. R.
Weeks of Kansas State Farm Bu-
reau from a QUESTIONABLE sent out
to the officers of the farm bureaus
in fifty widely scattered counties
of the state of Kansas.
On the answers tabulated from
the QUESTIONABLE on actual hay
shipments the freight charges
amounted to PAN per cent of the
selling price of alfalfa. These fig
ures will be used before the Inter
state Commerce Commission in get
ting them to rescind their order of
July goth, in authorizing a 35 per
cent increase on interstate freight
rates on hay and grain between
points in the western group.
IrdcIlcdIly every farmer VINO an
swered the QUESTIONABLE stated that
the freight rates were now prohibit
tive. If the freight rates were adj
vanced 35 per cent it would mean
that instead of farmers paying PAN
per cent of the selling price of al
falfa at the terminal market, they
would pay 35 per cent of the selling
price to get their hay to that market.
The State Farm Bureau is coop
Grating with the public utilities
commission of this state and the
American Farm Bureau Federation
in their efforts to prevent this de-
structive increase in freight rates,
which are already prohibitive.

ten minutes at time, nor TO any but
the main point, which was to decide
the question.
"They laid their shoulders to the
great points, knowing that the little
ones would follow OF themselves. II
the present congress errs In too much
talking. how can It be otherwisel In
a body TO which the people send $50
lawyers, whose trade Is TO question
everything, yield nothing, and talk by
the hour7 That $50 lawyers should
do business together ought not to be
expected"
Multiply the above by four, add sew

Probably il could be calculated by an
efficient expert that the amount Of en-
ergy. time, money and lung power
wasted In one session by. congress
would be enough 10 drain every
swamp In this country, irrigate every
barren acre and rescue and educate
every child iaborer, with enough left
over then to support and train every
wounded doughboy.

lhdlsputable historical testimony, have
been later than February i. c. 4.
That settles the year of the first
Christmas, but all attempts 10 fix the
actual day and month OF Christmas
have failed.
And, as regards the present date,
Christmas, like Easter took some cen
turtles before settlement was arrived
at. In the first centuries Of Chris
tianlty several important Eastern
churches observed January as
Christmas day. The Armeni~- Chris
tians do so still.

attained, but not before the Fifth cen

membered that for quite long period
this country was divided on the ques-
tlon Of Christmas. Some people per-
sisted In observing "old" Christmas
day.

Chrlst's birth, is n happy choice.

unpleasantness outside make II all the
more agreeable to keep warm and
snug inside. II keeps US together In
every sense.
