Shoemaker, editor, author, historian and writer of note, so completely sums up the delay in the government in ‘‘ investigating’ ocer- tain things in Washington that he contributed the followingto his paper in Altoona. The Colonel evidently is disgusted with the so-called '‘ investi- gations”, which amount to nothing, that he calls for the people to stand be- hind the President and win the war. A part of the editorial follows : This is no tine for charges and counter-charges, for accusations or re- criminations and the reluctant denials, Let us stop investigating and win this war. Let us back up President Wilson as he, above all other Americans, knows how to do it. Do not heckle and annoy him and sap his vitality like the copperhead and yellow curs in general did with the patient and plod- ding Lincoln during the civil war. Let us bave enthusiasm for our army and navy, and for all civilian or- ganizations co-operating with toe, realizing that no buman beings are perfect, and most of usare apt to err. Fight shoulder to shoulder against the Teuton foes, and win. Then turn the searchlight on those who adminis- tered the war in different departments and on the corporations snd individ- uals who farnished the supplies. If the light reveals any crookedness or graft or suffering to the men in arme, hang the guilty publicly in a whole- sale hanging-bee like common sples or thieves, But let all who are trying to aid in preparing for our righteous war have a free reign mow. Don’t tell them that they shouldn’t have done this or that before they have had time to do anything at all. Don’t oust of- ficials for having done little when the time has been so short. Remember our state of unpreparedoess, and then don’t blame it on President Wilson, but on all bis predecessors ; remember the labor shortage, the food shortage, the newness of the entire program of the world war to a commercial nation like ours, A ——— A ——— Adequate Advertising. Patrons of stores have come to un- derstand, as clearly se the merchants themselves understand, that the pure pose and result of newspaper advertis- ing are to reduce the cost of commod- ities to consumers. This Is accom- plished only through adequste advertising—for nothing less will as sure the largest possible volume of bus- iness which smlone makes possible small per-eale profita, Strangely enough, however, some merchants cling unconsciously to the outworn notion that to spend a little less for advertising than a competitor, with similar problems of selling to solve spends, ia to “save money. If this were sound doctrine it would fol- low that 8 merchant would find his greatest profit in reducing his turn- over—in a smaller, rather than a larg- er volume of sales. He would find it more profitable to keep his employees busy balf of the time—t0 accomplish but a part of the work of which hie selling organization is capable, rather than all of it. How much should s merchant spend for advertising ? Let us reduce the answer to its simplest terms : Enough to answer the largest volume of business which he ls prepared to handle, If he is securing eighty per oent of the business he could do, by adding one-fifth to his advertising ex- pense he should be able to secure the maximum 100 per cent. Figuring on that simple basie, a merchant may reach his goal. Larro Feed—the moremilk feed that's guaranteed. Car just in,—R. D. Foreman, adv, DEATHS, Rev. Andrew J.
