One Woman Wants

We have letter from the wife of weIl-known
farmer living few miles from Olivia that deserves special
mention and which WILL believe, voice the sentiment
of almost every farm woman in this community
She says the primary desire of the farm housewife
is not running water in the house. electric lights

roads and schools She argues that better
better mail service and better facilities getting
from school, and better schools in rural districts
would a long way toward checking the exodus from
the farms to the town and city.
An amazing fact about this back-to- the-land
ment of recent years is people have generally dsre
garded the passion for education and overlooked the
wishes of the youth. 1t is, too weknown fact that
better schools in towns powerful factor in
bringing hundreds of families off the farms who would
otherwise stay there and successful if they
oo had equal advantages for the education

Is Advertising a Debit?

In the ordinary business enterprise when catalogng
the various items of salaries rent, heat light,
head, etc. column is usually taken by item
of called Advertising Along with other "debits
advertising is often considered necessary contingent
upon operating the business
That this classification is unjust everyone
who is familiar with the general trend scope of
vertising the country The biggest sue
cessful do not consider advertising debit
they do realize that it is asset investment
decidedly profitable at that.
Fred P. Mann, a prominent general merchant of
Devils Lake. N d. in 1919 did business in half
million dollars in small town department store. Dur
ing this time he spent between and $13 for
advertising alone Yet he said quite truthfuy it
did cost him cent He refused to
penditure of $4,000 debit at ALL because he real
lied that without the advertising his volume of
would perhaps only half large his pro-
fts therefore, proportionaly smaller At the time
he would have had the constant for
expense duty for double business, the profit from
which than cared for the Advertising leaving
profit asset to be charged to advertising itself.
Is advertising a debit? If an employer pays $4,000
week to get efficient, first class employee who does
double the work of $500 week the extra SIS
week is clearly not 1oss-but gain II by advers-
ing the merchant does larger volume of business it
equally clear that advertising itself should be charged
as expense. Nothing is debit which in the long
results in profit Nothing debit which increases
volume of business while the overhead expense con-
slant Advertising should therefore be given right
full place the credit side of the ledger The really
progressive merchants keep it there-Northfed News.
