The second is by all odds the more important of the two. Of the total farm output of the country, 85 per cent is consumed within its borders; only 15 per cent is exported.

KEEP INFORMED FRIG ID A I RE A well known economist declared recently that if our American popular government really is to be made effective, each stockholder of the public business which is of course each and every citizen interested in the welfare of this country must be intelligently informed. The details and ramifications of modern government are too varied to know how each tax dollar is spent or to judge the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the methods by which each public function is carried on, without the aid of some organized interpreting society. Public understanding and support of tax measures is necessary as a check on public affairs. Public administrators very often fail to ferret out and apply chjanges in procedure which would contribute to economy and efficiency. Changes in methods are usually impossible without the organized activity and demand from citizens. Personal interest in, and knowledge of tax problems, are sentries at. the tax exit gate. It is the means by which the public is kept informed on the progress of public business. Individual interest in the problems of the government and taxation, will bear fruit a hundred fold in improved governmental services to the people. There is food for serious thought! in this contentionIt is true that the average citizen does not havd time to go into the records of the county, state and municipal government to see just what is being done with the taxpayers money. Ami yet all of us ought to be better informed as to just what is going on. Of course, a great many, of our civic societies and commercial organizations are now of service along this line and can continue to be of service. And it is here also that the local newspaper can render real service to the community. The local newspaper is admirably equipped to give this service to the public and in most cases willing to do so. The 1928 'campaign is coming on and it s hoped that It wll bea campaign of education' rather than villification. One of the best kinds of education a public can get is education on the management of local affairi After all, most of the taxes we pay are spent at home for local improvement and local necessities and the people who pay ought lq have something to say about what is being done with the money- - And they can have something to say if they will keep close tuoch on the subject.', if II 4V .' m 4 zx x n si r M 1 U - : j CREATING CONFIDENCE W. M. Wflsh, public utilities merchandise manager of the Connecticut Light 'and Power Company, of Hartford, said in a recent i' statement: , Continuous advertising is the most successful method of increasing business. Utility advertising, if wisely directed, will build you friends and create sales. Good advertising can be depended upon to do much of the missionary or advanced sales work. This preliminary informative work can be effectually accomplished at much less expense through' the medium of advertising than by a salesman." i Here is a statement that ought to be considered by every individual and every business concern which haa something to sell whether it be electrc current or hoes or automobiles. Undoubtedly the way to sell wbat you have and to increase your business is to advertise. And advertising must not ben done spasmodically and in a haphazard manner, but reguWly and with a definite object in view Nothing tan so create a goold will between a public and any business organization as judicious' advertising. After all, most of us aia honest and inclined to do the right thing. One of the things which handicaps us in a business way is suspicion, and suspicion originates from an imperfect acquaintance. Now the way for the average business man, or the average public utility to get acquainted with $he public, is to advertise in the newspapers, The proper sort of advertising is bound to create a spirit of good will thich will bring greater returns in business, better service and greater economy for the public. There is no longer serious argument against the point that the best sort qflF advertising is that wfyich comes through the columns of the local newspaper. The newspjaper enters the home of the intelligent mazi, the one who is ambitiotis and must therefore keep himself informed, who makes the country o and makes business gTow along with it. If you want to increase your busbiess, you must get the public with you; tell the public whak you are doing and what you are trying tb do, so that the public will have confidence in you, The way to do this is to advertise consistently and scientifically , and the place to do this is in the columns of your local newspaperwell-planne- d f times a day, three hundred and sixty-fiv- e days a year, Three electric refrigeration safeguards the health of your family.
