MAKING BUSINESS GROW

In former years when business
people were specially ambitious to
make. their concerns grow, they saw
no way to accomplish that end bat
by getting business away from home
competitors. While efforts to excel
are always praisewOrthy, and bust
ness is a fair race between competi-
tors, this is not the only way to make
a business grow.
The other way is to take hold Of
efforts to boost the total business Of
a town. If the town can grow i'll
population or wealth, or if by suit
able pushing it can be made into
more popular trading center, then
al the business concerns get the
benefit of tha: grnwth. 1t pays for
business people to put time and
money into these efforts to develop
thu community as a whole.

WINNING ATTENTION

If some one is looking for success
in business, politics, or anything
else, how is he going to get it? This
question is stewing many minds.
Winning public attention has lot
to do with it, If two people are run
ming for some political office, and
cne of them gets five newspaper no
tic es for every one that the other
gets, the one who gets the publicity
Las the best chances, other things
being equal. Every time a candi-
Gates name is impressed on the
public mind, his personality gains
something of power and interest.
The candidate who stays out of sight
drops out of the public mind, and
people are not inclined to vote for
him.
It is very much so in running a
business. If one concern is con-
stantly featured in its advertising in
the newspapers, the people are at
tTacted to it. The mere fact that
people see that concerns name in
print, has an effect. The name sticks
in their consciousness. If they want
something in that line, the thought
of that constantly advertised store
is suggested to them. The chances
are strong that they will go to such
store for that article.
If a concern simply printed its
name in large type in the center of
white space, and said nothing else,
the mere repetition of that name day
after day would have its effect. The
human mind works that way. 1t
turns in the direction to which its
notice is excited, and it does so un-
consciously and without reasoning
about it.
But of course a concern obtains
much more value from its advertis-
ing, if it goes ON and mentions va
rious articles or lines in its store
which it feels have a special appeal,
and tells a little something about
them and quotes prices.
Printers ink is a wonderful meth
cd of winning business, and it has
turned the commercial world upside
down in recent years.

BETWEEN 1928 AND 1927 the
cost of operating the city govern
ments of this country increased ST.
S1s, 200, 900, or 25.6 per cent. Since
then the cost has undoubtedly con-
tinued to mount rapidly.
Here is ammunition for those who
rail against the tax burden without
taking definite action. The Federal
government has, in the main, made
a good record of economy since the
war. High taxes are the result of
waste, duplication of effort, govern
ment ventures into business or I'M
necessary extravaganza in the mat
ter of public improvements on the
part of local units of government.
The much-talked-abou increased
cost of living and increased taxa
ton are due to one simple cause
extravaganza. We may not like to
admit it, but it's fact nevertheless
extravaganza in family life and ex-
travagance in government activity.

PUSHING THE TEXTILE
INDUSTRY

Congress has passed a law Great
ing the textile foundation" which
will spend about $2,OOO,OOO for scien-
tifc research aimed to develop the
textile industry. This industry has
suffered of late due to changes in
clothing styles and various causes.
A vast amount of capital spent in de-
veloping this industry has been ly-
ing idle due to these changes.
Such a situation should be met by
scientific research. When an indus
try is suffering like that, it is usual
ly true that better advertising would
help it. Goods that won't sell with
out advertising, will commonly sell
with publicity. But they have to con-
form to peoples needs, desires, and
fashions.

WAR ON THE GANGsTERS

The Chicago newspapers have
united to make a desperate war on
the underworld characters resorting
to their city. They are spurred on
to do so by the dastardly shooting of
Jake" Lingle, underworld reporter
for the Chicago Tribune, who knew
too much for the health Of some of
these gunner. The fellows who
planned this crime will find that
when they touch a newspaper man,
they have hit something that will hit
back
Newspaper men in centers of crime
have to take some risks to cover the
desperate deeds they record. 1t is
necessary for the public welfare that
these deeds be truthfully reported
and the courageous men who take
these chances must be protected, or
society will suffer from the lack Of
their faithful work.

BUYING POWER

Many cities and towns have shown
a phenomenal growth under the new
census because of resources that
have been developed. They were ad-
vantageously located for commercial
centers, they had specially favor
able climate, or there were other ad-
Vantages that could be utilized.
Meanwhile every community has a
certain resource in itself, the power
of which for development is not al
ways realized. That resource is the
buying power of its people. If they
buy their merchandise to any consid-
cradle extent through concerns To-
Gated elsewhere, their buying power
is a wasted resource so far as their
home town is concerned. A state
will not develop unless it conserves
its natural resources of soil, forests,
mines, etc, and town will not de-
Yelop unless it conserves its re-
sources of buying power by spending
its money at home.

 Yesterday an automobile stopped in front of the Tessendorf's farm home and two men got out. One, tall . and slim, walked toward the house. The other met the farmer at the barn. Before Tessendorf could de. fend himself. he fell under a blow from pistol butt.

 Then for two hours Tessendorf was tortured. His cheeks were scar ed with glowing ends and his nails were plucked out. Only when one robber fired a shotgun at Mrs. Tes- sendorf would the farmer reveal his secret.
 Look under the clock on the nantel," he said.
 Today the farmer admitted he had sent the stone to a Chicago jeweler. The answer had been: "Nery fine crystal, worth probably S300.'
