ADVERTISING TO DOLLARS
Is LIKE SUGAR TO FLIES

The fellow who pays the advertising
bill il the fellow who doesn't adver-
tise. He pays just as surely and GER
tainly as If he went to his cash-draw-
er and took the money out. The only
difference is that his customers dol
lars. instead of getting into his CASH
drawer. pass right by him and enter
the cash drawer of the advertiser. He
is paying for the other fellows ad-
vertising but is not being benefited
by it. Many nonadvertisers have Of
ten wondered who pays the large ad-
vertising bills of their competitors,
not realizing that they themselves are
paying most dearly for it.
Why not stop paying the advertis-
ing bill of your competitor and let
some other fellow start paying for
your advertising through the loss of
business? Pull the customers dol
lar into your store with advertising.
For advertising is like magnet-the
stronger it is, the harder it pulls.

One Of our good farmers handed US

This year of 1923 started out with
actual prospects of breaking all form
er records as building year, but the
increased cost of material has caused
a cancellation of SO per cent of the
building contracts that were in sight
at the outset. Industrial and labor cor
porations are now so thoroly organ
lied that building boom or any other
boom isn't going to get by without
paying the highest possible toll for the
commodities used. Quantity prices do
not seem to apply in such cases, al
though it would seem that material
and labor could be furnished at a
much less figure for contracts total
ing three billions Of dollars 1.-THE am
cunt of the building contracts in sight
at the opening of the season) than for
contracts totaling half that figure, to
which point the cancellations have re-
duced the total on account of increas-
ed construction costs. "Build home of
your own" has dissolved into a pro
hibitive slogan with the common class
of people today, and it should not be
so.

Sugar brokers and spectators are
creating q false shortage by sending
sugar out of the country and then
boot-legging it back" charges
Chicago's food expert. Sugar coming

amount is charged to production by
sugar trusts and refiners," adds the
food expert. "but sugar coming from

pines our own countries and which are
legally free from . duty charge has
this same production charge fixed to
it by the sugar trust and which robs
the American people out Of millions

causes all the speculation" It appears

We hear so much talk lately about
conservation Of our natural beauties
but just how many Of US ever stop to
think Of conservation as applied to one
OF our very common natural beauties
which most of US may enjoy for the
expense of little motor trip Just be-
yond the city limits anywhere we
mean our wild flowers. And all of us
have seen some of those cars come
back to town gaily decorated with the
fruit or flowers from some secluded
nook. Yet We wonder why 50 many
of them cannot survive the ruthless
pulling of their flowers, some Of which
mean the slow storing of energy for
years in order to put forth a single,
short-lived array of beauty. If the
present increase in ownership of cars
keeps up, and thoughtless people per-
sist in strewing the roads with one of
our rarest gifts. we just wonder what
this world is going to look like to the

that occasionally those with great

WHEAT GROWERS HOLD
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING

Despite the heavy rain that fell
continuously throughout the day, and
the practically impossible condition of
the roads, a goodly number of memb.
ers attended the Annual Meeting Of
the Colorado Wheat Growers Associa-
tion on May 22nd in Sterling.
On account of the condition of the
highway Joseph Passonneau, Director
Of Markets for Colorado, was unable
to attend the meeting, being detained
at Hudson, wiring from that point
that the roads were impossible and
that he could proceed no further.
Representatives from Morgan, Yuma,
Phillips, Sedgwick, Weld and Logan
Counties were present and the meeting
was one filled with interest, harmony
and enthusiasm from start to finish.
Mayor H. B. Swedland of Sterling
opened the meeting with an address Of
Welcome to the Membership, and ex-
pressed his confidence in the National
Wide COOPERATIVE Movement. and
pledged his personal support, as well
as that Of the city of Sterling to the
movement, which, as he expressed it,
meant so much to the Colorado Farm
ers.
The report of the first years work
Of the Association by Manager Bruce
Lampson proved highly satisfactory to
every member. This report was follow
ed by an outline Of the work for the
coming year and by reports from the
Field Service Department. The Field
Mems Reports show that excellent
work has been done in securing new
memberships. Over 1400 new member.
have been done in securing new men,
bership within the past four months
and according to the records of the
average acreage on these contracts it
is expected that by harvest this year
between five and six million bushels
of Colorado's wheat crop will be pool
ed with the Association.
After this Mr.. Fred Strong, who is
connected with large Elevator Of
Yuma, gave talk on the Association's
work from comparative stand point
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1923-05-31

of the Elevator. In this talk Mr..
Strong ably showed how the Associa-
ton was able to secure a much better
price for it's membership, being nat
ionally organized on the pooling plan,
than was the Elevator, it being only
local unit. Figures were submitted by
Mr.. Strong showing that three
elevators, one at Haxtun, one at Wray
and one at Yuma, paid the farmers of
the communities for their 1922 wheat
respectively "a and one-tenth cents,
80 and one-half cents, and 81 and
twelve hundreths cents per bushel.
The Colorado Wheat Growers Associa-
tion has secured for its membership to
date 81 cents per bushel, and addition
al payments will be made at the close
of the pool season.
While the first Colorado State Ann
ual Meeting was in session in Sterling
the first Meeting of the American
Wheat Growers Associated was in ses-
sion at Minneapolis for the purpose of
establishing a National Sales Agen-
cy which will sell the pooled wheat for
all State Associations. A telegram re-
ceived in Sterling in the afternoon
from Minneapolis conveyed the good

was being successfully organized, all
states being represented, and all
working in full unison and harmony.
After confirming the election of the
new board of directors by the member
ship the meeting adjourned, the entire
assembly voicing its satisfaction with
the results of the first seasons work,
and pledging its united support to the
Association. The Directors elected for
the ensuing year were as follows:
