BUTTS, STUBS,
HEELS And FIRE

We will leave it to the wife and
mother to discuss stagnant smoke and
morality of smoking.
The right to smoke may be an in
dividual matter; but what the smoker
does with the lighted match, cigaret
butt, cigar stub or pipe heel, is of
vital concern to the public.
Each day Americans smoke 5000
miles of cigarets, and carelessly tos-

elsewhere where volatile oils are kept
or used or combustible materials are
present.
The careless workman must be
taught that he has no right to en-
danger the lives of his fellow employ
ees or to rob them of their jobs thru
careless fires. A fire in factory may
put all out of work

A new machinery storage house to
cost about $4,000 will be built imme-
diately by Wood County, in Wisconsin
Rapids. The shed will be about 48 by
100 feet and will be sufficiently large
to house all the read building mach
inery which the highway commission
owns The members ole the county

once to have the building erected.

victims of promotion are merchants,
professional men and even bankers.
Billions of dollars wisely invested
every year which heretofore have
been dissipated in speculation will ey-
identity have capital effect in nit
igating panics, business depression,
and unemployment An increase,
such as it seems there is an oppor-
tunity to secure, in the annual mere
ment Of saved capital that will be
permanently saved by sound invest
ment, will by steadily charging the
national fund at a greater rate than
heretofore lower the cost and price
innate enterprise a greater sense of
security and courage, tend to a stead
Ter employment of labor and to low
cred price level and cost Of living,
consequently a higher standard of liv
ing.
The country should not permit the
opportunity to slip by which the Lib
erty Loan experience opens to it of
adding yearly to the capital fund the
great savings of the peovle. A sys-
tenatic, intelligent, organized attempt
should be made to counteract the pro-
paganda of promoters, not merely in
the negative way of legislation a.
gainst criminal practice, but by pos
tive propaganda setting forth the
superior attraction of Safety First in
investment.
Beware Promoter
It is a large undertaking to get to
the people the Safety First idea, but
worth whatever effort is necessary
The promoter appeals to raw cupidity
and to that propensity to speculate,
to accept a chance, to gamble on the
future, which is instructive in all of
Us. He is no mean hypnotist and en-
deavors to put caution to sleep and
by suppression of all conflicting i'm
pulses and ideas intensity the passion
for quick gain. His propaganda is al
Turing, but there is enticement also
in other instincts, in self-preserva-
ticn, in security III retaining what
one has. These are also primary hu-
man instincts and are capable of be-
ing played upon effectively, if one
can get the knack of it.

ISABUSINESS THAT ISN'T WORTH
ADVERTISING WORTH PATRONIzING?

Occasionally we see man in Enthusiastically try
ing to establish busness-whos says he does not adver
tse because he would have Increase his prices if he
did
It is not often we such in business because
with such limited business vision seldom remains
III business long enough to be SEEN
The truth OF the matter is that the merchant who does
not advertise and increase his volume of sales must in
crease his prices the limited amount of stuff he sells
and actually charge than the merchant who by the
use of regular advertising turns his goods three four
times to the other fellows It simply the old story
OF the nimbe nickel.
The nationally advertised brands of goods with few
exceptions the best and the owestprced products
that can buy today The big busy store that advers
and draws trade for miles around is always the best
and the cheapest place to trade and has always been So
No one ever hears it said Of the big ma-order houses
that their great advertising expenditures sending out
millions Of catalogs and foow-up literature including
large monthly supplements on groceries, clothing, dry
goods, shoes, furniture hardware, farm Implements
paints wall paper etc. made them charge for their
goods.
But you do hear just the opposite Ask any farmer
VINO buys goods OF maorder house why he patronses
them and he will tell you that he believes he does little
better IN the way OF price. 1t you ask him why their
lower than the local stores he will you that
because of the great amount of business they do thru
sending out cataogs and other advertising matter reg
ularly to every farm house throughout the country
The home newspaper affords the only effective
of counteractng the pulling influence of these
n7al-Order catalOgS taking business away from YOUR
home community.
By the of regular space in the local paper mercf
ant educate the home folks to appreciate the
fact that he doing everything he to them to
the very best of his ability This can not be done as
quickly and successfully in any other by ad
vertisng.
Advertising is the economic factor of business. With
out few buyers Wou dnow of the exceptional values
offered and the turnover would be reduced to almost
thing. Merchants would be compelled to increase their
prices in order to remain business and higher prices
would mean fewer buyers and business failure those
merchants who have not taken the time to study and
learn the real value of persistent advertising.
OF course, there some moochers in business who
