My Message to YOUi
I buy you groceries, your home, everything you
use or need.
I am not money; I am its superior, for I buy

life of the world has been built, more so in modern
times than ever before.
J am founded upon honesty, and built upon faith
in mankind. .
1 hove given men the means to become rich,
means which nothing else could place within their
reach.
I am, when rightfully used, the greatest means
to prosperity and happiness, but whon wrongfully
uaed and abused, I diave brought misery into the
lives of men and women.
I am confldenee placed In a mans ability and
reliability to meet his future obligations.
I am greater than Industry and capital, for I
demand the Industry and capital of others cn the
strength of ability and disposition to make my prom- •
isos good.
I AM GOOD CREDIT—and thli is my mes-

FICTITIOUS VALUES

been fixed for farm property as a result of the war,
but from our exchanges we learn that a lot of com-
munities are suffering .from such a condition. And,
too, millions of dollars are going to be lost by peo-
ple whove paid fancy prices for farming land In
many sections of this country.
, ™8 ca,"e about through the purchase of land
m 50 ?3°° an acre when wheat was bringing
$2.20 or better and com $2. Today com is around
50c a bushel and wheat is below $2, and farmers
predict it will not go back to the higher level. So
the man who bought the high-priced land must lose
money if he raises low-priced crops. That stands
to reason. Some of them ,of course, will be able to
so farm their land as to get out from under, but in
a majority of instances they will suffer a tremen-
dous loss for the chances are the land cannot be
disposed of at anything like the price the present
owner paid for it.
I' or that reason, and to save the other land-own-
ers of this country millions of dollars, anything in
J the way of legislation looking to the way of the
farming class is to be encouraged. We may hear
arguments to the contrary from capitalists of this
country and taxpayers in our larger cities, but in
our rural communities there should bo no division
of opinion along this line. For serious results may
be looted for if a sudden slump comes in the price
of farming lands, and that slump would undoubtedly
bo felt in ev^ry section of the country.

STICK TO FACTS.
The other day we picked up an exchange and
found this little rhyme:
“When you start to advertise,
Stick to facts!
Good business isn’t built on lies_
Stick to facts!
No matter what you have to sell,
The truth is good enough to tell_
Boost your goods and boost them well—
But stick to facts!’’
And there is a while sermon in those few words.
The Pawhuska man who advertises knows it pays
to advertise. And he also knows that advertising
must be truthful if he holds the customers advertis-
. ing will bring into the store. The man who doesn’t
believe in advertising is usually the one who placed
an ad. or two in the paper, didn’t stick to facts, or
didn t do as he advertised, and then can’t understand
why he couldn’t fool the people.
You can depend on the ads you read in this
Paper, and that is why they are worth reading, line
by line each week. Our advertisers are men who
know that it pays to stick to facts. And the man
who won’t do this isn’t advertising. So, as they
used to say in the good old days, you can "draw '
your own conclusions’’ as to why a whole lot of men
who should be advertising are not doing so.
-—O--
THE GOODS TO PUSH
Every man who keeps a storp nowadays is ad-
vrtised, whether he advertises himself or not. Con-
sequently every storekeeper must be interested in
advertising. The .makers of scores of the things sold
are advertised for the home merchants—not over
their names, it is true, but they advertise and the
public, knowing that advertised articles are sold
in good stores, • naturally go into good stores when
seeking a branded and advertised product.
These manufacturers who advertise put up good
products, too. If they didn’t the advertising would
fail. This product, usually the best of it’s kind
to be had, is advertised to stimulate the dealer’s
own individual trade. A demand is created by the
maker and the goods are partly sold from the mo-
ment the dealer has placed his order. You go to a
store for soap, and you ask for a brand you’ve seen
advertised. It is the same way with hundreds of
other things—you know them through advertising,
and you know that unless^they were good the ad-
vertising would have stopped long ago.
Advertising makes selling easy. Tho merchant
knows this, and he knows that he doesn’t have to
"talk up” advertised products, and he doesn’t lose
time explaining their merits to the customer. All
he has to do is to take the order for an advertised
article, wrap up the goods and put the money in
the cash drawer.
That being the case, there should not be a mer-
chant in all this land so headstrong as to argue that
advertising doesn’t pay. For he is arguing against
the makers of the very goods he has upon his
shelved

LETS BE PATIENT
When you go to a circus, a theatre or any place
where a crowd is striving te gain admission, you
take your place in line and patiently wait until you
get up to the main entrance. You don’t fret about
time that is being consumed, and you keep your
temper and finish up in a good humor.
And yet, unless you are far different from the
average citisen, if you start to call someono by
telephone end don’t get the number within a second
or two you’re angry and want to give the telephone
operator "a piece of your mind.” Haven’t you no-
ticed it? And haven’t you noticed that the very
people who can stand Inconvenience in most any
other form, can’t hold their temper when they’re
trying to get someone by phone? Certainly you
have, and we daresay you’ve been guilty of tho same
offense.
Maybe it's just a trait of human nature—but
at that it's a bad one. For the telephone operator
would much sooner give you your number quickly
and take chances on getting a moment’s rest than
she would In holding you on tho line and hnvlng to
listen to shurp words or abuse. We’ve started In on
a new year now, and It’s a good long while to the
end of it. Why wouldn’t It be a good idea to re-
solve, even at this late date, to try and be Juat as
patient with the telephone operators during the
balance of the year as we an when we are in lino
at a circus or a movie ahow?

If you want a nal city then help eleet nal, com-
petent and progressive men to the city offices this
spring. And, any, by the way, let’s vote a salary
largo enough so they can afford to take the Job
and atay on It. After this then if you want tho
managerial form of government wo can then docldo
this Issue in a friendly way—without mandamus and
ouster proceeding*.
