AND UTILITIES

The lowest priced commodities of any kind whether
shoes automobiles gas and electric service are those
which are most advertised says W. H. Hodge, of the Byl
lesby Company
Utility advertising has brought important facts con-
cernng the industry before the American people, and has
helped provide them with understanding of utility pro-
blems and operating conditions. And it has helped as
WELL in creating tremendous demand for gas and elec-
trcy with the result that utilities able to provide
better service at lower rates.
Possibly one of the absurd statements made
that utilities purchase advertising in in order
to influence editorial opinion. Such attitude is
reflection every American editor And it is likewise
a serious criticism unfounded in fact of the great utilities
which have made every effort to aid the industrial agr
cultural and domestic progress of the nation.
AT the present time but 06 cent of the total rev.
enues of the gas industry and but 068 per cent of the
electric used for advertising. is doubtful II any
other industry of great size advertises little In the
opinion of many authorities great deal should be
spent utility advertising in order to give the public
thorough grasp of the operation of the and electric
industries

There is a tendency at times for

DIRT

For his waist once clean and his shoes

Were covered with mud for an inch or

And she said as she looked at his
ruined shirt:
Il think that he willfully rolls in
dirt"
They argued it out in the usual way,
Il couldn't help it, was all he'd say;
"Of course, you could help it," his
mother said, ras
You could look where you're run

OF seeking the puddles to wallow in.

A chance to win if you'd catch a fly
And you knew you could if you'd only
try.
And the kids were yelling, Go to it,
Bud"
Would you be stopped by a puddle of
mud?

to score
And your team was needing just one

And you started i'm and the throw was

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. StrauS.)

At a time when business progress
seems in somewhat of hesitant
mood, the question arises regarding
the best policy to be pursued in the
matter of individual expenditures.
A noted economist was recently quoted
as saying that people should not put
their money in savings banks but
should spend it freely in order to keep
the wheels of industry in motion.
This problem has an important
bearing on the whole theory of thrift
as an element of progress. 1t would
not, of course, be possible for any
one no matter what might be his high
degree of wisdom, to map out a plan
that would be suitable for every in
dividual under every circumstance.
Each person has his own problems
and each day is to some extent law
unto itself. The argument, however,
that seeks to justify the free and reck-
less spending of money in order to
help business, is not tenable although
often employed.
The economic balance can not be
preserved without the constant up
building of capital through the pro-
cess of savings. In order that individ-
uals may maintain their financial
independence they necessarily must
provide for emergencies through saw
ing a part of their earnings Also
there can be no permanent business
progress without individual savings
because all financing in the final ana

WE SALUTE YOU.

A Tribute to The American Legion
Auxiliary, written on Christmas day.
1929, by Harry Duncan Of Onamia,
Minnesota, who says:
"TO most of us the world war end
ed with the armistice hut there are
those for whom the war will never
end until our tortured bodies find
relief in the final summons of the
Great Commander.
Being one of those who have spent
many days and weeks in hospitals,
my mind turns back to other Yule-
tide seasons made happy because of
you. You and the Auxiliary, you who
make our suffering bearable, you who
suffer with us, share our troubles
and listen to our woe.
Though my words are inadequate
to voice my affection, feel am ex-
pressing the sentiment of all who are
still paying the price of war. How
we look forward 40 your visits, your
CHEEKY greetings, your welcome smile
your many homemade, articles that
make our burdens easier to bear.
ITO the disabled veterans you stand
out as angels of mercy. AS | med
itate this Happy Christmas day,
can picture many happy homes made
so by your untiring efforts. Many
homes in my neighborhood are hap
py this day; made so by your noble
organization, the American Legion
Auxiliary.
There are those among you whose
son, brother, or sweetheart was mus
tered out over there and yet through
mist of tears and a heavy heart
you smile though he is gone. Your
kindly hand reaches out and touches
the aching brow or the fevered cheek
of someone's boy, brings him mem
cries of home and mother, and in
stills in him new hope that helps him
bear up under his suffering.
Il and many more on this glad
Christmas day extend our sincere af-
lection. Day by day, year by year,
may we gain a fuller realization of
your true worth You are dear to US,
you are comrades and pals, and we
salute you. May the coming year
bring you happiness"

A GREAT AMERICAN

The oath birthday anniversary of
Benjamin Franklin is tomorrow, JAN
uary II, and brings to mind man
that not only helped to give the print
ing industry good start toward the
stage of perfection it has now attained
but also gave the best he had for his
country and in service to his fellow
men, Franklin was printer by trade
and printed a newspaper which he
managed with great ability and which
caused him to be recognized both
at home and abroad. Among his other
works was the publication of Poor
Richard Almanac" which was issued
between the years of 1882 and 1857
He was also the inventor of the light
ming conductor and is known in school
books for his experiments with the
kite which he used with a bottle at
tached in his experiments to identify
lightning and electricity.
He was active both at home and
abroad on missions pertaining to pub
lie problems and in 1887 he served
as president of Pennsylvania and at
tended the federal convention where
he approved the constitution then
formed.
Such farsighted men as Benjamin
Franklin make up the type of sturdy
pioneers which this country may well
feel proud Of For was it not such
men as they who drafted the dOcu-
ment known as the Constitution of
the United States? A document which
has guided the destinies of one of the
foremost countries of the world
through the trying years of young
and struggling nation onward in its
march to hold the distinction which
il now enjoys with only few minor
changes

USE BUTTER

Now that the price of butter is low
is good time to use it literally and
thus do our part to wipe out the sur
plus and raise the price which means
so much to dairy communities like
Pine county. Good butter and milk
are health producers and something
the body needs and Graves. Comment
ing on the drop in butter prices the
st. Peter herald says:
The sad part of this is that 60
per cent of the butter substitute is
consumed on the farm. A mania
has sprung up during the past five
years of pinching the nickels. Peo-
pie will spend $500 for gasoline and
tires to save 10 cents on a grocery
item. 1t is this mania that is blind
ing the farmer to his own welfare.
The farmer should lead the way in
the use of butter. and should do his
utmost to show others that it is a
real economy to use butter with
its high food value instead of the
substitutes much lower in vitamines.
We also might mention that farm
ers should be the last ones to use
vegetable oils for cooking purposes.
If they would stick to lard and but
ter, there would be a noticeable adj
vance in pork and butter rates. If
we allow the money to be so close
to our eyes that we cannot see the
dollar behind it, we can expect no
sympathy. Let's use Minnesota but
ter and lard"
