ADVERTISING AND PRICES

The belief is expressed by some
people that advertising adds to the
cost of goods purchased and that
the consumer would be better off If
money were not spent to advertise
commodities, articles and services.
Nothing is farther from the facts
in the case. Only because of adj
vertising has economical production
been made possible, with resultant
reduction in costs to the consumer.
Had it not been for advertising, au-
tomobiles could never have been sold
at price within the means of most
of us-nor hundreds of common
place comforts and conveniences
which we today accept without a
thought.
Advertising, too, reduces the cost
of retailing food and other mer-
chandise. The overhead cost of
store is more or less fixed. BY add
ing comparatively small sum for
advertising, the merchant can &C
quaint the public with the mer-
chandise he has for sale and its
price. This, in turn, increases the
volume without appreciably affecting
his overhead cost, thus enabling
him to sell for a lower price than
the store with a smaller turnover.
We know the editorial column
isn't the place to "talk shop" but
we cannot refrain from mentioning
that the merchant who advertises
not only does himself and the public
a good turn in a merchandising way,
but by his newspaper advertising
makes possible the publication of
this paper, with its many announce
ments of civic and community af-
fairs. This, we flater ourselves in
believing, is of value to the city and
district.
So if you appreciate the publicity
given through these columns to your
club, church or other organization,
don't thank this paper but rather
the merchants whose advertisements
makes it possible

A thing that most old age pension
promoters overlook Is that money
can only be made by work. Any plan
that provides an income for some
one without work is simply dis
guised scheme to take money from
some one who has worked for 1t and
give it to some one who has not
worked for it. Money and wealth
can be created only by work. Every
dollar represents so many hours
work by some one.

It doesn't take much Of a town
booster to boost when the home
team has a winning streak. The
kind of booster whose boosting Is
worth while is the fellow who boosts
when the home team is in the eel
lar. Its that way with a lot Of
things. The fellow who slaps us on
the back when we are riding on top
of the wave isn't nearly so helpful
or welcome as the fellow who comes
around when we are discouraged and
gives us the glad hand and tells us
he believes in us.

SELF HELP

Here in Kennewick we like to
hear of cases where help and under
standing is given young people thru
worthy projects sponsored by adults
with an insight to the needs OF
youth. In many cases outside aid
is necessary to continue in school.
One woman in Michigan worked out
q farm p reject where 25 students
have continued education through
farming a few acres of potatoes,
planting onions and raising turkeys.
The youths repay the loan and earn
money for school needs. The crops
are planted to give the enterprising
youngsters a chance for an educa-
ton. Every act such as this, work
ed out by an understanding citizen,
deserves recognition and praise.

The wise parents had dedicated one

On Monday both parents devoted the
evening to their eldest daughter. Per-

she was very fond Of music, or they

another time. Peggie would invite q
group Of her own friends, and her
parents would assist in entertaining
them. It was Peggie's night.
On Tuesday, which was Mothers
night, Grandmother always took charge
up Peggie allowed nothing to inter-
fere with Tuesdays. Her friends had
learned this and respected her for
her refusal to break her rule. On these
evenings food shows, fashion shows, or
art exhibits were often visited. In the
summer Peggie sometimes arranged a
picnic supper. Occasionally Father

Often the group merely did the club

times an entertainer was brought in:

early hour, how she did enjoy the at

two Of the substances needed to make
jelly "jell."
The fundamental rule for jelly max
ing is keep cooking time to a mini
num-" On that rule hang three i'm
portant directions.
First use only a minimum amount
of water to cook the fruit; just enough
to cook 1t soft. Since any excess water
has to be cooked off, 1t unnecessarily
lengthens the time the jelly must be
on the stove. Second, use large, flat
bottomed pan. That shortens cooking
time by permitting rapid evaporation
of liquid. Third, after the Juice has
been extracted from the fruit, COM
bine it with the required amount OF
sugar without preheating the juice.
This not only cuts down on the cook
ing time. but the sugar tends to pre-
vent the destruction of the pectin.
Those who make jelly from Concord
grapes should guard against common
fault of this jelly-the formation of
tar crystals, harmless, but objection
able because they give the jelly a
gritty texture.
One way of preventing cream OF
tartar crystals in jelly is to let the
grape juice stand over night in cold
! place before combining it with the
sugar The crystals settle to the bot
tom. Pour off the juice and strain 1t
again. Then go on with the jelly max
ing. Another way to prevent crystals
in jelly is to combine grape juice with
the Juice of other fruits.
