4 PERTINENT QUESTION

Advertising is the economic factor
# business. Without It few buyers
you'd know of the exceptional values
1fered and the turnover would be
rndnced to almost nothing. Merchants
would be compelled to increase their
wssRs in order to remain in business,
and higher prices would mean fewer
buyers and business failure to those
merchants who have not taken the
kime to study and learn the real value
VI persistent advertising.
The truth of the matter is that the
merchant who does not advertise and
Msrease his volume of sales must in
sxesse his prices on the limited amount
a. srzff he sells and actually charge
sn,rR than the merchant who by the
zEea ut regular advertising turns his
groaS three or four times to the other
1sllOws once. 1t is simply the old
story of the nimble nickle.

RANDOM THOUGHTS

The contrary sex appears to be the
other one.
Of two evils, most men seem to
choose both.
Many a decided blonde has just de-
cided recently.
Troubles seem to, be like bananas
they come in punches.
If man has his trials, he should be
entitled to his convictions.
1t isn't nearly so hard to meet bill
as it is to keep out Of its way.
An optimist, my son, is chap who
plays the other fellows game.
Often it is not necessary to put on
glasses in order to see your finish.
Job was a patient man--but he new
err had his collar button roll under the
bed.
After a man has had good dinner
you won't find him knocking the gov
eminent.
The man who pays as he goes may
never get very far-but he can always
come back.
Knocking the place in which you
make your living is like slapping your
mother in the face.
Sometimes the man who makes as
much noise as the big bass drum is as
hollow inside.
The average man doesn't have to
travel far out of his way in order to
make fool of himself.
There are some men nj this world
who never blow their own horns unless
they are on a "toot"
The young man who tries to slip
through life in the easiest way won
ders why it is that he hits only the
rough spots.
Most political plums turn out to be
lemons
Smartness may get you over one
rough spot in the road, but intelli-

One of the lovely things about win

1t has just beendiscovered that some
painters and several writers have an
income larger than Babe Ruth. But
such injustices are bound to occur now
and then.
There is no glory in life equal to
that which comes to the heart that has
suffered whit the sufferings of others,
and caught its music and its laughter
out of the rainbows that shine above
the tears of human sympathy.
Believing that things will go right
is fine in its way; but it's better to hus-
tie little in helping them to go right.
The man who can get good laugh
out of his own blunders is on the way
to wisdom-and to happiness.
Only those can conquer who have
themselves been conquered by the
flame of divine enthusiasm.
A mighty lot of sheer laziness con-

jump out--bail like the dickens.

TO CURB RECKLESS DRIVERS

The Green Bay Press Gazette in
dulges in some sound observations on
the question of curbing reckless driv-
ers on the public highways. The mere
fixing of speed limit is no solution
OF the problem. Some men can hand
lie car at 35 miles an hour in a thor
oughly safe manner while others are
dangerous at 20 miles an hour. The
age and the experience of the driver
are important factors. The Press Ga
zette in discussing the matter SAYS:
"One of the first steps toward the
correction of abuses in the use of high
ways by motor cars, and in the solu-
ton of the automobile problem gener-
ally,is to license all drivers to restrict
the age limit of drivers and take away
the driving privilege of every person
convicted of recklessness or of habit
uai speeding. Michigan, New York
and many other states have already
adopted this system and Wisconsin
must come to it. With the promis-
cuous driving we have today and the
lack of any real regulation of or con-
troll over drivers, hte motor car is fast
becoming a public menace. The mat
ter OF making the highways more Sc
cure and of protecting the public as
well as motorists themselves is one
which presses for attention.

COUNTRY PAPERS BE-
INC HEI n IT'D

The postoffice department at Wash
ington have established throughout
the country certain terminal offices
to which the weekly papers are sent
instead of being worked on the rail-
way mail trains. The result is that
they are delayed from twelve to forty
eight hours every week in delivery.
Daily papers are given the right of
way and come through far more
promptly. Both pay the same rate of
postage and it is unfair to show any
discrimination.
A paper published not over IS miles
from St.Paul states that while its pub
LEGATION is in St.Paul by Friday night
it frequently does not reach its sub
scribers until Monday or Tuesday of
