any OF these countries to attack the United States.
And it would make it impossible for the United
States to sen fleet across the Pacific ocean TO
attack Japan. Sentiment in this country is clear
that il would never pay to send an army or navy
to Asia to secure more profitable trade relations.
The United States would be better pleased if
Japan would withdraw all military forces from
China and Siberia But if the United States had
sent m army into Mexico to clean up disturbed
conditions, it would resent it deeply if the powers
OF Asia or Europe ordered to withdraw them
at any given date. There will be plenty of ways
to deal with Japan by peaceful methods, if she
does not play the game fair.
The termination of the Anglo Japanese al
hance removes the possibility of an adverse com
blnation against this country SO this conference
has taken several long steps toward world peace
besides others of large importance Still more will
follow in due time

THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF ADVERTISING
STORIES OF SUCCESS-Some people in tn,


real estate business had the idea last year that it
not good time to sell houses. An example
OF what push and good advertising do in this
line any otheris found in the experience last
ia Of Joseph Phillips a real estate dealer in Gin
cinnati, as told ia Printers Ink. He started in
the past season building and advertising standard
iZed houses for $450O apiece. He spent on adver-
Using since September l, 5000 to $500 month and
sold $67, 800 with Of these houses. He feels he
would have sold many more if he had begun a lit
tie earlier
a story of successful advertising on big scale
Is found In the recent history OF large shoe man
ufacturing company. This company recently stated
that their sales of one we'll advertised line were
III per cent of those of the preceding year while
lines OF shoes that had not been advertised had de-
creased 80 per cent These results were so striking
that this company is now pushing some previously
non-advertised goods by national publicity and is
getting splendid results
One OF the officials of big phonograph company
recently stated that in spite OF slow business last
year IN the country at large, the company's sales
were considerably greater than ever before The
advertising Appropriation for this company for
l9zl was much in excess of 1920 which I'D to that
tme was It's biggest advertising year. so that one
gets some idea how business can be pushed in
times like these
lhese successes of advertising illustrate one
Pr1nclple that operates in everything from big
nation wide concern, down to any local business.
he people who push for patronage and tell the
public what they have to sell, are the ones who
get the trade. OF course concern has to back
up ITS ads with good goods. but it can't keep the
trade II It never gets it in tn" fist rlace.

GOVERNMENT SEEDS-In

GOVERNMENT SEEDS spite of all the
protest against the distribution of free seeds bv
ue government as an extravaganza, these are pro-
vded Tor by the last appropriation bills and are
gong out to constituents of congressman and SEN
atorS. While this use OF the taxpayers money is
not generally approved, still as long as the thing
IS beng done, the best possible should be made
Ct these seeds. If receiving them would induce a
lot of people to plant gardens who otherwise would
not raise anything, the distribution would pav fo
itself.
Any persons in Fitzgerald who secure thest
seeds ought not to receive this gift without making
return for it. 1t represents money for which the
people had to be taxed. That money should not
be thrown away The seeds should be carefully
preserved, and when the good old Sprngtime ar
lives, they should be tucked away in carefully pre-
pared ground, and the fruit thereof watched and
tended.

PRACTICAL RURAL PROGRESSIVE

chance for economic prosperity in the country lies
in tn eattempt to secure for the food producer
bigger share Of the price the consumer pays. Shoe
manufacturers for instance are estimated to get
around 20 per cent OF the price paid by the con-
sumner. But the farmer has not been averaging
so per cent of the price paid by the consumer of
MS products In other industries, large proper
ton of the product goes direct from the factory
door to the retail store that sells to the consumer
But in farming, most OF the product goes through
a number Of hands, with the labor expenses and
profits mounting at every turn The farmer can
not OF course spend much of his own time doing
his own marketing, except in cases where he lives
near city or large town. and finds it paws to drive
his own truck or sell to automobile parties But
he can cooperate with other farmers to hire a
competent man or men to do marketing for him
Where marketing and distributing are done by
by middlemen in cities, they are burdened by many
Heavy expenses. The work is done in costly build
lngS III crowded city streets, where traffic is so
congested that all kinds of work are costly, Land
costs so high on those quarters that it would fire.

for sorting ard distributing products except at

Where the work of distribution can be done bv
cooperative associations in country centers it saves

FEARING EDUCATION-Som country people
Will not educate their children for fear that school
and college life will interest them in pursuits other
tran farming, and that they will never return to
tnelr old homes. This may be the case where the
education has no training for country life and rural
industries
But any family that wants to keep its young
people yet have them thoroughly trained for life
Can accomplish both ends by giving them course
IN some good agricultural school or college. That
ilw open their eyes to the possibilities of rural in

Economic lnaen uity.

An English Jew, successful In
business deal In New York, wrote the
following message to his wife: "Busi-
ness successful: $4,000 profit; sail to-
morrow on the Majestic. Arrive Liv-
erpool 25th home early same evening.
Your loving husband, JACOB"
Jacob. however, was appalled, when
he found the cost per word and set
at work to reduce the length Of the
message. He reasoned as follows:
Rachel would notice that the cable
was from New York and, having no
friends there, would know it must be
from Jacob. She would know, too,
that he would not cable unless he had
been successful. She would remember
that he had expected to make $4,000.
She would guess that he would take
the first boat and that she could
identify that from the shipping office.
Finally she would think there was
something wrong If he was not her
flowing husband" So in the end ia
cob's telegram consisted Of Rachel's
name and address only.-Chicago
