AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
STORE ADVERTISING.
I
Retail stores are doing busi
ness today on a smaller margin
of profit than ever. The higher
range of prices prevailing since
the war has stimulated com
petition and has forced retail
trade to remodel its system of
operation and to make every
possible improvement and
economy in its methods. As a
result the stores are saving a
margin for the public through
improved distribution methods.
Live merchants today are al
so putting more brains in their
work .They get better expert
advice .they understand mark
ets better, they train their em
ployees to render better serv
ice.
Live dealers know that these
facts will not become known
unless they are given proper
publicity; know also that the
best way to make people
realize the quality of the ser
vice they are giving is to con
sistently advertise their stores
and wares.
Not even those of our local
merchants who do not adver
tise at all—and there are
a number, by the way—can
consistently deny that the pub
lic reads newspaper advertise
ments and takes advantage of
such bargains and savings as
appear. And if they do deny
there is benefit in advertising,
they can speedily prove the
falsity of their argument by j
the simple process of adver-j
tising some popular comrnodi-!
ty at a reduced price. Then j
they will speedily learn that
the advertised store is the store
that is most appreciated by the
buying public.

THE PATHFINDER
No man liveth unto himself
alone. All need pathfinders.
Newton, the scientist, said, “If
I have achieved anything in
science it is because I have
stood on the shoulders of gi
ants.” y
The young student takes it
as a matter of course that he
shall follow the old masters.
If music, he sits at the feet of
great guides-Bach .Beethoven,
Chopin. If art, he works for
hours before copies of the
great masters—Raphael, Mich
ael Angelo, Murillo. The stu
dent not only knows the value
of the pathfinder, but is happy
to acknowledge the debt he
owes these immortals.
So it is in business. The man
who forges to the front in in
dustrial or commercial life is
the man who is closely in touch
with everything the leaders in
his line are doing. Business
men are not ashamed to follow
the pathfinder..
The greater the man, the more
frankly does he acknowledge
his debt to men still greater
Ilian himself. Plato sat at the
feet of Socrates, Aristotles at
the feet of Plato. Raphael
learned his art from Angelo,
and Corregio from Raphael.
None but a fool feels him
self to be self-sufficient. The
best of men must acknowledge
their masters. Few there are
m the galaxy of world stars
that shine by themselves with
out the added luster of bor
rowed glory.
It is not weakness to have a
pathfinder, but rather a mark
ot good sense.
-o
DEATH TO THE FLY.
If there is no breeding place
for flies there will be no flies.
The almost total disappear
ance of stables from cities has
removed a prolific source of
fly propagation. But not all
the spots which assist the fly
in preserving his species were
in the vicinity of stables.
Where there is filth there will
be flies and where flies go
there will some of the filth ac
company them.
Time was when flies were
endured as an inevitable an
noyance without an appreci
ation of the menace to health
their presence is. They swarm
ed because no effort was made
to eradicate them. That era is
past but ther& are those still
who tolerate conditions which
in effect are not inimical to
the interests of the fly. House
occupants cannot prevent flies
from seeking entrance but ev
eryone can keep them on the
outside. Also it is within the
province of all to refuse to
purchase food products which
are accessible to flies.
Were everyone to eliminate
breeding places on his own
premises and to screen and
swat, the fly soon would be
come as completely extinct a&
the monsters of which \ve
know only through their fossil
remains. The fly is small but
he makes up in industry and
persistence what he lacks in
size. We become alarmed when
an epidemic threatens, yet too
many of us tolerate the fly
when we know his capacity as
a disease carrier. Because he
is no novelty we minimize the
peril which he may transmit.
So we repeat again to our
readers: “Swat the fly.”

Maybe when they make paper
j money smaller they will make
' more of it.

a sensible man to spend hours

try to guess a woman’s age. No

to tell the truth if he were
certain of it.
With the girls all working,
young whippersnappers may

is one who will help meet the
expenses.
j Long hair, says a woman’s
page note, will come back
slowly, if at all. Bobbed young
ladies who are trying to grow
it already knew that.
The man who slaps your face
instead of your back plays
fair. Ethics permit you to swat
him in return.
Next to persons who know
how to run a newspaper, prob

they could write a book if they
had time.
The laying on of hands may
have cured few diseases, but
it worked wonders in chronic
cases of impudence.
