AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
GETTING NEW BUSINESS.
The progressive business firm
finds that it needs to be con
stantly making new friends
and rreat’rg a new circle of
customers. If it just depends
on satisfying those who have
previously bought its goods, it
is likely to see its trade di
minished. Population changes,
more rapidly now than former
ly, and if a firm has a certain
list of customers this year, it
can expect, as the result of all
h f'b&nges that naturally oc
in that a considerable pro
portion of those customers will
not be on the list in a year or
two.
Also people are changeable
•n their habits, and unless a
vc). rnergetic effort is made
to hold old customers by ad
vertising, a lot of them will go
elsewhere, attracted by the
▼arious inducements that are
offered them.
People are not much inclined,
as they were often formerly,
Just to trade at one place or
a few places right along year
after year. They are quick to
get the idea, if some firm
seems to be hustling a little
harder than its competitors to
. please- the people, and no feel
ing of habit or sentiment of
loyalty is apt to hold them, if
they think they can do better
by going elsewhere for some
thing they want.
By an active campaign of ad
vertising, a firm can keep mak
ing new business friends, to
make up for those who drift
elsewhere. It does not take
elaborate persuasion to win
such new customers in these
times.
People are ready to go to any
place of business where the
spirit of enterprise and hustle
seems to prevail. A concern
that makes it a regular prac
tice tb advertise , even if it does
not take any great amount of
space, will have new customers
entering its doors, who will
more than make up for old
customers who go elsewhere.
NO CAUSE FOR WORRY.
There is always more or less
worry connected with money.
Those of us who do not have
it worry about getting it, and
those of us who have it are
often put to a great deal of
worry in hanging on to it. In
addition to this no little worry
is brought on by the desire to
make a jitney grow where
only a penny grew before. It
seems as though poets and
philosophers have conspired
to bring money into disrepute
so anxious are they to tell us
that the mere possession of it
is a great burden.
In more recent times there
has come to us the warning
that money carries germs.
Germ experts even went so
far as to demonstrate that a
bank clerk’s occupation was
particularly hazardous because
he handles so much money.
But now this dread has been
dispelled. After exhaustive in
vestigation on the subject of
money as germ carriers two
Illinois University experts as
sure us that this danger has
been greatly exaggerated. It
seems that the metals from
which coins are made act as
destroyers of bacteria.
This relieves us of the worry
connected with the handling
of money. The next thing for
some expert to do is to toll us
how we may be relieved of
our worries in trying to get
hold of it

LIFE IN THE COUNTRY.
Considerable discussion is
heard these days as to the
means that may be adopted to
keep folks on the farms. The
dtuation has become serious,
for many experienced farmers
are moving into the cities, eith
er for the purpose of earning
•vhat they consider to be
easier money, or to use their
iavings in giving their children j
nd themselves the advantage i
of city life. ;
Whatever the cause, the sit
uation remains and it consti
tutes a problem that may well
engage the attention of nation
al and state authorities. The
fear is expressed that the pro
diction of food may become
reduced to an extent that
the scarcity will not only
greatly increase prices, but
threaten the welfare of the
people.
While the reasoning is pure
ly academic and subject to
the views of each individual,
^ is probably true that the
persons who make occasional
trips from the rural districts
to the larger towns enjoy these
visits and the things they see
much more than those who see
them every day. It is a case
where familiarity sometimes
breeds contempt. In the mat
ter of better school facilities
in the towns, there is in most
cases no place for argument,
although some progress has
been made in a number of
states to bring about a central
isation of teaching that gives
country pupils some of the ad
vantages of the city in a course
of study.
There is nothing to justify un
due pressure to keep men and
women and boys and girls on
the farms. So long as there are
mouths to feed, enough per
sons will make choice of the
country life to insure the crops
of grain and quantities of oth
er foodstuffs needed to main
tain all the people at a reason
able cost.

EVEN ON A RAINY DAY
"When a bit of sunshine hits
ye,
After passing of a cloud,
When a fit of laughter hits
ye,
And your spine is feeling
proud;
Don’t forget to up and fling
it
At a soul that’s feelin’ blue,
For the minit that ye sling it,
Its a boomerang to you.
"How will men look in the
future?” asks a writer. It all
depends on how the women
dress.
That school-girl complexion

both cheeks at the same elevat

Teacher—How would you
punctuate this sentence--“The
money was rolling down the
street’ ? ”
Bright one—I’d make a dash
after it.
