If we have good administration
of affairs by public officials. we
never take the trouble to tell them
If we have unusually large number
of public-spirited men who are
working for the betterment OF our
local conditions we seldom ever
give them even faint praise.
But le, something go wrong and
our first inclination is to blow up.
Somebody is to blame, OF course,
we reason, and that somebody
needs a good reprimand, If not
something worse.
Having let off steam, the most

But let's resolve to change our

The rural business man car
use advertising with as grea,
success as the town and CITY
business man.
He has found that it is sue.
cessful when he holds his
seml-annual or annual farm
auction. Why should it not
be equally as helpful during
other seasons of the year?
Modern business methods
will help solve modern farm
problems.
Advertising used with the
same discretion and the same
faith and understanding which
town and city business men
exhibit in advertising their
goods, could be made of ines
tlmable value to the rural
business mrn who have the
courage to take up a new idea
and give it a trial.
Why shouldn't farm selling
move forward just as farm
production methods hav
changed vastly in the last
decadr2
Adv rti,ing, judi C ously
used, is the answer.
The automobil- and good
roads make delivery or farm

The man who devotes all of his time
criticizing others never has time to
pick out his own faults.
What has become of the oldfashioned
parent who believed that a switch in
time saved nine?
People who cash in on their mistakes
are the kind who have to rent safety
boxes to keep track of their bonds.
No man Is so meddIesome as the man
who retires and has nothing else to do
but look after other peoples business.
Along about the time when we dream
of the day when there will be no more
ashes to empty. it's time to begin
spading for garden.
There may be better places to live,
but we haven't seen them yet.
It's easy enough to pick flaw. but
mending it is man-sized job.
He who gets pleasure out of work
has something to be thankful for.
A man who gets up wrong in the
morning shouldn't make others suffer
for it.
True friendship is the kind that
wears well no matter how rough the
road.
There is reason for everything ex-
cept people who try to be funny and
aren't.
Happiness is the cheapest thing on
earth, but too many people think 1t
costs money.
Fellows who go through life looking
for soft spot to light can generally
find it under their hat.
You can't back up the home COM
munity and be crossways on every
question for its welfare.
One of the great troubles with the
world is that too few people realize
that to have friends, it is necessary to
be one.
Children are the most valuable crop
ANYBODY can raise, but very often they
don't get as much attention as the

If capital could be inclined to worry

Old Man Waste Take the Count

An article in a magazine not SO long
ago said that a certain business house
eight years ago did an annual business
OF $3,OOO,OOO and the cost OF selling
the goods was 8 per cent. Good adver-
tising has since then increased their
annual sales to $15,OOO,ooo and the
cost of selling, including advertising,
has been reduced to 5 per cent Sales
are made easier, which has made it
possible to increase sales without in
creasing the sales force proportionately.
Who Paid the Advertising Bills?
Not the consumer, because the price
of the goods was less than it had been
without advertising.
Not the owner of the store, because
his total selling cost was 3 per cent
less.
Not the statesmen, because they
made more money due to the increased
earnings of their employer and their
larger opportunities
Who did pay, then, if none of these?
The same inexhaustible source upon
which we draw for the cost Of all prog
ress--Old Man Waste.
The most expensive institution in
the business world today is the unsuc-
cessful competitor--the business that
drags along for years, eats up rents
and salaries. trying to get business that
someone else can get and execute bet
ter and cheaper.
It is cruel, perhaps, but true that
the sooner such concerns disappear,
the better it is for the public. The ad-
vertising of their more aggressive and
better organized competitors brings
the end quicker. And it is the money
saved by putting a stop to hordes of
these petty, wasteful non-successes
which pays for the advertising and
cuts down the cost OF the goods you
buy.

When they begin reading
our thoughts by radio, which
is not outside the pale of pos
sibility. according to eminent
psychologists, we will have to
watch our steps.
No longer can we think
what we please of our enc
mics; No longer can we covet
our neighbours earthly pos
sessions; neither can we envy
our friends expensive auto
mobiles, their success in life
or their costly homes.
Folks who thrive on secret
hatreds which they harbor
against those they dislike,
who bear grudges on account
of fancied wrongs, who store
up in their moments alone,
hard thoughts about people
with whom they disagree-all
Of these will have to change
their method of thinking.
Sounds ridiculous, and it
may be improbable, but it is
not impossible. that our inner
most thoughts may be read
as plainly as though we were
writing them down on paper.
Some experiments have
been conducted along this
line. Thought-broad

bia universities professors,
