ADVERTISING HELPS CREDIT


There is one way by which busi-
ness mans credit is improved, and
that is by policy Of consistent ad-
vertising, for they know it pays. Their
feeling, therefore, is that when a mer-
chant who is good advertiser applies
for a loan, that reasonable amount
Of goods, bought by him on credit, is
likely to be turned over quickly and
promptly paid for, on account of his
methods of keeping his goods con-
stantly before the public. The banker
would have confidence that the goods
would be disposed of and turned into
cash before they got out of date or
shopworn.
Discriminating buyers of every class
know they can get fresh goods from
the store that advertises. The mer-
chant who advertises seldom has shop
worn goods. And in that way adver-
tising helps the merchants credit not
only with the banks but with his Gus
toners. And one is just as important
a. the other.-Yuba City (Calif) In

We sometimes wonder whether the
unfairness Of the debt cancellationists
IL due to stupidity or plain mendacity.
Here is one advocate OF cancellation
who Introduces an argument with the
remark, 'Tf America insists upon i'm
mediate payment Of that debt" etc.
No one ON earth, either in the United
States or elsewhere, has ever sug-
gested or thought Of suggesting i'm
mediate payment. All that anyone
has asked is that there be not an Inn
mediate but an early agreement upon
q definite plan of payment so that the
United States may know just what 1t
can count upon in the way Of future
payments. Most people who have
studied the subject believe that 1t
will take from rs to so years to collect
the debt. What the United States
wants is a funding of the debt into
negotiable bonds bearing reasonable
rate of interest SO that the United
States Government can use its own
discretion in keeping such bonds in
its own vaults or disposing Of them
70 the public as It may see At. Any
talk about this country insisting upor
Immediate payment" is misrepresen
tation, pure and simple, and there II
NO honest motive back Of 1t.

We listened to former Senator John
Shafroth talk for some forty minutes
before the Lions Club in Denver last
week. Mr.. Shafroth said he had just
returned from trip abroad, and that
we were surely in bad fix in this
country. He spoke of the low value
OF money in Europe; how Uncle Sam
had neglected to keep pace with the
world; that we ought to have known
better; how we should Immediately
get busy and right this condition. But
he failed to tell his audience single
thing which he had ever done during
his entire period of over a quarter of
q century as a member of our national
congress. Guess he forgot.

city stores promote their business and
draw trade from long distances. Al
though many people considered 1921
difficult year. yet the big city stores
have had a big trade. And how have
they done it? 1t has been due to
their tremendous advertising.
"The department stores are getting
the business" says Printers Ink, "for
the reason that they are going after
it. Never have we witnessed better
retail advertising than the big stores
have been running for the past six
months. On the average the big stores
ran ahead last year, while the small
stores ran behind"
According to the federal reserve
bank reports, of 372 department
stores reporting, there was decrease
of only ST per cent in sales in Oc-
tober, 1921, as compared with 1920.
AS prices were much lower during
last October, it would indicate that
the actual volume of merchandise hail.
died was greater. Many big city stores
showed better business last year for
December than during 1920.
The secret of the progress of these
big city stores which goes on without
much regard to general business con-
ditions, is that they keep up a per
sistent and prominent advertising
Any store in Delta can get
similar results by devoting similar
proportion of its receipts to promotion
work by publicity.

DEVELOPING TERRITORY

Formerly business men OF most
cities and towns thought but little
about the prosperity OF the outlying
country, and never formulated any
special plans to develop it. No COM
munity Of interest was created The
business men of live city in these
times realize that their prosperity Ii
dependent upon the industrial de-
yelopment Of the outlying country.
Hence they go in with farmers and
business men Of nearby communities
to plan for Joint measures that shall
increase agricultural and manufactur.
Ing production through the entire dis
tfict.
Our people here in Delta should
work for business and civic welfare
IN all surrounding towns and villages,
20 that the people all through this
section should look to this community
for leadership all along the line OF
progress. This closer relation Will
not merely make business friends, but
it will 80 promote the advance Of the
whole section that all industries will
be more profitable and property more
valuable.

IL the Muscle Shoals proposition is

KEEPING UP BUSINESS

Merchants in many places find fault
with the amount OF trade that goes
away from their home neighborhoods
to patronize department stores and
nail order houses in large cities. They
rightly question the judgment Of the
people who go so far from home for
their purchases, since such folks pay
more for the same article based on
the higher cost Of doing business in
large cities.

chants who have something to learn
from the methods by which these big

WHEN MARKETED THRU
AVERAGE DAIRY COWS

An interesting phenomenon exists in
Colorado today. Alfalfa hay. selling
as low as SO in the stack, will bring
returns of over $3.50 per ton when
marketed through the dairy COW. A
calculation with present-day prices
and products shows the soundness of
this statement.
Take as an example an average
dairy COW producing twenty pounds OF
milk per day. testing per cent butter
fat In one month this COW will pro-
duce "a pounds of butterfat. which at
80 cents per pound will return $7.6S.
On q daily ration consisting OF rs
pounds Of alfalfa and one pound Of
grain for every four pounds of milk
produced. and using . mixture Of one
pounds of corn. she will require per
month 1898 pounds OF corn. 20.7
pounds OF cottonseed meal and 750
pounds Of alfalfa. with corn At 81 Per
hundred and cottonseed meal at $45
per ton, the cost Of feeding her grain
each month would be $1.76. At this
rate the cream check would bring 4
return Of s5.s2 for 75o pounds Of al
falfa. In other words. alfalfa grown
ON the place would bring $3.50 per
ton. These calculations are from e.
J. Maynard Of the Agricultural Col
lege ut Fort Collins.
Figuring 33 per cent cream prod
uct, this COW would produce each
month 528 pounds Of skim milk, and
also manure, which, II properly mixed
with straw. should weigh around 800
to 1000 pounds.
Skim milk is valuable for both brood
sows and shoats. At present prices of
feeds, 1t Is worth about 2n cents per
hundred.
Even with increased production over
the country. and a seasonal variation
in the price Of butterfat. the dairy
COW is safe. sound and profitable
cash market for farm feeds year in
and year out.

: PRESS COMMENT .
. - 80 ><<<<>>>>><

It was a foregone conclusion that
the findings of the arms conference
would meet with some opposition when
they were placed before the Senate.
There is no doubt of the right of the
objectors to be heard. 1t is hoped,
however. that objections will be con-
structive, and will take cognizance of
two facts:
First. the people of the United
States-the ones upon whom the fight
ing and paying falls-are determined
to have peace. Second, peace cannot
be had without definite engagements
with the other great powers to pre-
serve 1t.
Unless we agree to keep the peace
with all the powers, we must before
very long agree again to fight with
some of them against the rest All
morality, chest-swatting and Tapping
of the Eagles wings aside, there is no
question which course is the cheapest
or which the majority Of the people
in this country prefer.
The agreements recommended by
the conference provide for mutual con-
sideration of rights. impose no mill.
tary obligations and are frankly ex-
perimental with definite time limit
Sooner or later such agreements must
be forthcoming II civilization is to
enthusiastically (O.) Register.
