They may buy high-price- d articles when they could get the same thing for much less, if they had taken the trouble to make a study of newspaper advertising. The American people put a vast amount, of thought into the eamihg of money. Many people spend years in education for business, and they plan and scheme and strive to secure a greater productive capacity. Then when they have acquired it, they may dissipate their earnings by an unwise policy of spending. Expenditure of an income is no hit or miss matter. It should be studied just as one studies the earning of the .same. The purchaser should follow the business information in the newspapers showing the tendency of the markets for foods, clothing, house furnishings, etc. The first principle to learn is that the stores of your home city have everything that you really need. The distribution of jnerchandise is now so standardized that a community the size of Provo can supply all necessary wants and an abundance of luxuries. Some dealers are more enterprising and hustling than others. Those of this class turn their capital more frequently. Their dollars work faster, the cost of operating their service is less per article. Stores of this character are usually good advertisers. They could not turn their capital with this speed, if they were not working all the time to attract buyers and keep the goods moving by low prices and special inducements. Well written advertising contains much information about goods. Afted reading the business notices in The Post the home buyer is in a position to purchase more intelligently and also to know where the money will go the farthest. Editor and Manager NEPHI C.

INCREASING. i - Some recent publications would lead to the belief that the Bible is a back number and its lessons are dropping out of the consciousness of the American people. There are, however, other indications that the Bible is being better understood and more thoroughly studied than ever before. These indications deserve our consideration, and, if we count the message of the Bible a worthy one, those who are promoting the free and careful study of that message deserve our encouragement and support. One of these indications is the increasing number of colleges that allow candidates for admission to offer a knowledge of Bible history and - I . literature as an entrance credit. Among these are such universities as Chicago University, in the west, and Columbia University-- , in the east. Christian Education for April, 1921, contains a list of such institutions covering six pamphlet pages. Also courses in fhe study of religion, based, in whole or in part, on the Bible, are given by an apparently increasing number of colleges.
