PATRIOTISM

HOLIDAYS like Memorial day
= are commonly used as times
for teaching patriotism. We are
shown the superb example of the
soldiers sacrifc, and told to dis
play a like spirit.
But there is no special reason to
think that in the near future we
shall be called on for patriotic SER
vice of that kind. We are asked
for patriotic service constantly,
and the way to give it is to try
our best to make q better country.
There are many ways to do that.
Voting. at. all primaries and cleo
tions is one. Reading and studying
the newspapers to find out what
parties and candidates will give
the best service, is good way.
Sending children to school just as
long as we possibly can, so they
will make good citizens, is an ex-
cellent way. Obeying the laws Of
the land is good method of pa
triotism. We do not have to go to
France or the Philippines to show
patriotism, it can be manifested
just as well right here in Kenne-
wick.

ADVERTISING

A ND of course, there are stores
that cannot advertise. In fact
advertising would ruin their bust
ness just as surely as it is the
making of others. These establish
ments that do not seek publicity
are the ones you drop into and are
delighted with the apparently low
prices. Later when the articles
purchased are tried out you exper-
fence the very disagreeable feeling
of having been "stung." Mer-
chants, as rule, that handle stock
Of poor quality do not care to tell
anyone about it.
An advertisements is pledge to
the public that the goods sold are
exactly as represented. It means
that a certain price has been set
on them and that the maker and
seller are eager that their value
be considered compared with sim
liar articles offered by any other
firm.
When you buy from a store that
regularly advertises in these pag-
es you are insured against fraud
or Misrepresentation. When you
select the commodities you need
from among those you see listed
every week you are guarding your
self against being disappointed.
