mean advertising by fits and starts.
They do not produce a finished or

and let your lungs rest. There would
soon be more Of you at rest than your

then stop eating. Business men gen.
orally are doing more advertising
than they have ever done before, and
they are trying to give the public
more for its money than it ever be-
fore received. They are also making
a serious bid for public interest and
public good will. We have all been
scraping our chins every morning for
years. Would the effect last other

matter of keeping it up once you have

do that when nothing else can.

When the pig club shipment plan
was first talked of the club children
waxed enthusiastic over the possibility
Of receiving an attractive price for
their pigs, as heretofore local buyers
had been reluctant about paying the
children the prices which they could
receive elsewhere. The children were
then forced to find another market.
The impractical plan Of each person
shipping his own pigs individually
was overcome with the pig club train
load shipment. All was going well
when the local dealers realized that
the elimination Of such a plan would
mean a subsequent shortage Of hogs,
so they voluntarily agreed to offer
prices which would behoove the child
rem to accept.
The specialists in charge of the
shipment feel that this apparent turn
in the tables is the greatest achieve
ment they could have credited to the
undertaking. For the ultimate aim Of
the shipment was to get fair price
for club hogs so as to encourage
children Of Louisiana to raise hogs,
and not to send Louisiana products
elsewhere.
