tial things are going to be talked
about from week to week in a

This will be an attempt to help the
home makers solve some of .those
perplexing questions in a sane,
sensible, and easy manner,. These
are not to be theories but facts.
Facts that other home-makers have
worked out and found successful
will be given to you. The follow
ing is a suggestion of the plans
whice we anticipate carrying out.

s Brains in Business.
This is a day of brains and tlie.v
command p premium in every
? walk of life. This is conspicuous
- ly true in mercantile affairs.
The merchant who would be
successful must use bis brains,
' and the use of brains prompts biin
? also to the judicious use of adver
tising space in his local Dews
' paper.
If he expects his establishment
' to become a permanent fixture in
" the town he is equally desirous of
leaving with his customers a feel
ing of satisfaction and the iuctina
I tion to return,
Therein lies the secret of bis
success, but to accomplish this he
must first consider three Salient
I points.
First, his goods must be of the
standard required by the people
ol?hi* community.
Second, they must be reasonable
in price.
'fliird, they must be brought to
the attention of the buying public.
It is a simple matter tie buy the
goods and fix the price, but keep
| ing them in the public eye is the
. problem. It is the stumbling
block upon which the hopes of
many merchants are wrecked.
The merchant who makes the
most conspicuous success is the
one who brings his wares to the
attention of the public through the
medium of well written advertis
P ing matter.
Whenever you find a merchant
who advertises judiciously but
persistently in his local paper you
will invariably find a successful
and growing business, a business
founded upon solid principles, and
one which commands the respect
Ul HID DUUiUJUUIbJ .
It is the brains of the merchant
piloting him safely through "the in
tricate perils of commercial life.
Advertising is the product of
the brain, and is the greatest of all
aids to business success and emi
nence.
The well written advertisement
of seasonable goods will always
bring results, for it must be borne
?n mind that the buyer, as well as
the seller, is possessed of brafus,
and those brains will be utilized to
his own advantage.
This is essentially an advertising
age. and the business men who
persistently declines to recognize
the requirements of the- public
will iu times have no patrons to
affront by his indifference to their
desires.
The people of this community
have the ad reading habit. It is
as mush a part of their daily life
as are the ordinary pursuits of the
day. .' p
It is simply a matter of brains
forging to the front, for while the
merchant employs his brains in
selling of his goods, the buyer
utilizes bis brains in the disburs
ing of his funds to his own best
advantage.
And the advertisement?fresh,
and crisp, and to the point?leads
the buyer direct to the seller,
directs his footsteps to the spot
where lie may find that which he
seeks without delay and the con
sequent loss of time in "looking
around." -?

COTTON STII-L RISING.
The rise of cotton last week to
nearly ten cents a pound was grati
fying to the business men of the
whole country. If the cotton plant
ers will continue to borrow on
their cotton instead of selling it,
the price of cotton will continue to
rise and then when the Depart
ment ^f Agriculture annoutjces
after the planting season is over
that only one half a crop was
planted then the price will no
doubt go up to eleven cents a
i pound.

Altho Mr. Lowery is

Pasbing Tbe Ship Bill.
Washington, D.C., Jan. 25,1915.
?The action of the Democrats in
the Senate a few days ago, in
pledging themselves unammiously
to the support of the Bill for the
purchase of Ships has elictied the
ever whelming approval of the
country.
Since August 1st, whem more
than half of the world became in
volved in war, ships bearing an
aggregate of five million tons,
have been with-drawn from com
merce. Our great cotton crop of
1914 which is literally weeping for
the opportunity of getting into
the European* markets, would be
greatly benefited if Uncle Sam po
sessed an adequate merchant Ma
rine. There is great demand in
Europe for our lumber, grain, and
other farm products, but not near* ,
|y enough ships with which to
-export them. And so if we had
an adequate nufnber of ocean car,
rying ships with which to handle
the vast manufacturing and agri
cultural output of this country
business would be flourishing to
an unusual degree, iq every state
in the Union. The Bill "provides
for an issue of thirty million dol
lars ($30,000,000) Government
Bonds, with which to punchase
and. to build a Merchant Marine
with which to meet this problem.
The Bill Is broad in its provision
and the government Can if it wisb
ea turn this enterprise over te
private individuals after it is once
organized if it sees fit to do so.
