AYHY THEY AUK RICH
The business man who rolls up bank accounts lu bad times as well as :
in good times is the business man who advertises all the time, but harder
and stronger than ever In bad times. That's because he THINKS.
Hhls thinking tells him that when times are good everybody has money
and It isn't hard for his ad to reach as many customers as he needs to buy
his stock of goods—say 50 out of every hundred people, or 50 per cent. '
Cut when times are bad. perhaps only 50 out of every hundred spend '
easily. He knows that where bis average advertisement reached 50 spend- j
ers out of every hundred in good times. In hard times the same advertise- |
ment, with the same reaching power, will still reach 50 percent of the 50 I
spenders, or 23. But that's only half of what be is accustomed to and J
needs; now he must have all or nearly all the 50 spenders in order to equal
bis good times business. So he girds up his loins, fixes up a bigger ad. a
walloplngly attractive ad. and if he doesn't reach all the 50 spenders, he
comes pretty near to it.
That is the system of the biggest, shrewdest advertisers in America. |
You didn't see thein cutting their ads this year. You just simply saw them
making their advertisements bigger, stronger, more Intelligently drawing.
That's why they are rich—John Wanamaker, for Instance.
And mind this: The figuring and the principle involved takes no ac
count of whether the advertising is done in New York or Smithvllle. The
figuring is done on percentages of peo;>Ie. The principle Is the same
whether your business has been accustomed to deal with 1.000 people
around you or whether you have been accustomed to deal with one million
people around you.
It you did a satisfactory business in a community of 1,000 in good
times, you can do a reasonably good business in poor times. When few
people have money, you must get a greater pen outage of that few than you
got before of the many. You do it by—

t'Ol'XTRY PAPER GIVES A LI- THE NEWS
I
The editor of a country paper must be many men in one. and must |
know the temperature > f his patients at all times, save Austin K. Chenow- j
eth in The Ohio Newspaper. The stories must be written so all kinds of j
people can read and understand tliern. In other words, the country paper j
must "get across" with the towns-people, the business man, the farmer. |
and his hired man.
The country paper must ^ive the news—country news, town news, so- ■
ciety news, all the news, it must tell about the new baby at the home of '
BUI Jones down on the corner, about the big town wedding of the year,
about the square dance over on the hill, about the general crop conditions j
and the latest from Spink's Corners—all with absolute accuracy and in i
common everyday American words.
The country newspaper, therefore, fills a place in the life of the nation
that no other paper in the world can fill. It keeps the people posted. It J
drives away the blues. It keeps the temperature of the country folks
the backbone of the nation—at normal, and thus insures coutinuance of |
the good common sense of the American people and leaves little room for \
"wild" Ideas to take root and grow.
Can you measure, therefore, the worth of a country newspaper in dol- I
lars and cents? No, but you can in service—and that is the entire point |
of this article. "The country paper serves, and its service is of lnestim- |
able value to the country. That's why there is no place greater under the I
sua than that occupied by the right kind of a country paper and its own
ers and editors.
Come out into the sunshine of life and enjoy the great outdoors with
a small-town country newspaper, is our advice to those who may enter or |
are in the newspaper game. To have succeeded, in a measure, in work
that you love and in which you serve others, is our way of spelling sue-|
cess.
"NEWS" TO UK KI\ E ( EMS PER COPY
The publishers of the "Fort Seward News", much against their wishes, I
have found it necessary to state that, commencing with the next issue,— '
that of Friday. February 3, 1922,—the "News" will have to cost money
to its readers. We had hoped to follow out the policy with which the pa
per was born—that of a free, costless weekly chronicle of Post doins—
and so long as the mimeograph paper and the ink held out, we lived up to
our Intentions. But old H. C. L. has made a pass at us, also, and we were I
forced to buy supplies, on jawbone, in order to get this out, and many oth
issues to follow. The labor involved in making up the sheet, and the I
mental energy, or agony, if some wish to call it that, will still be given
gratis, but the cost of the materials has to be met.
And so, beginning with next week's paper, we must ask a charge of 5 i
cents for each single copy of the "News." However, as a special induce- !
ment to our readers, we offer a three months' subscription to our journal j
for the small sum of four bits, or the well-known half of a dollar—and t
will furnish the "News" for six months for the meager contribution of one I
buck. The mathematicians of the Post can see that by a three months'
subscription they will get 12 copies of the "News" for SO cents, or 24 cop
les, in six ruonts, for one dollar—at a rate of about 4 cents per paper. Wo
hate like the deuce to have to make this charge, but exponses render it
absolutely necessary. We wish our weekly to continue, and we feel that
our readers want the paper to live, if the commendations the "News" gets
are any proof of its worth.
Copies of the "News" may be obtained, or three or six month sub
scriptions secured from the following agents:
-Company "E" Corporal Lucius Jones
Headquarters Company Corporal John E. Sutherland
Quartermaster Department Private Jones
Medical Department Sergeant Romberg

"IP A JOB ISN'T
WORTH PRAYING FOR IT
ISX'T WORTH HAVING"
Many unique schemes to lielp the
jobless in various communities of
late have been brought to the at
tention of President Harding's con
ference on unemployment, but none
more novel than Philadelphia's—
"Join the Drexel Diddle Bible Class
and get n Job."
The Bible Class vneets every Sun
dry in the parish house ol Hoi.v
Trinity Church. An employment
bureau which functions remarkably
well, according to figures fur
nished. is run by John A.
Hawkey and Robert Bethel in con
junction with the class. Hawkev Is
a former pugilist and was bayonet
instructer for the marines during
the war. In the service he met Ma
jor Anthony J. Piexel Diddle, one
of the foremost ar nteitr exponents
of the fistic art in the Tinted States
who has taken on many a profes
sional prize-tighter 'n bis day. But
he gives up his Sundays to the serv
ice of the church.
A veteran of the war. Major Bid
die co-operates wi\h the American
Legion in placing applicants for
jobs. He has the promise of a long
list of Philadelphia firms that they
will give any man employment if
sent with the DrextC B.ddle endorse
ment.
Proof of the extraordinary success
of the scheme is that the Bible
Class has placed 271 applicants in
jobs out of 2H9. ai.d the good work
is stili going on. I
"1 take off my l.at to the Drexel |
Biddle Bible Claj i," .said Colonel |
Arthur Woods. Chairman of the'
Emergency Committee of the con
ference today. "They are certainly,
living up to their slogan "If a job
isn't worth praying for, it isn't
worth having'."

To a sympathetic young "army" of

Director Alexander Prlngle of the Near
East Relief, for forcing Gallatin county
out into an early lead with gifts of
wheat and cash that will result in sav

children in the cropless Near East.
After carrying the appeal of the
Near East to practically every school
in the Gallatin valley, with short talks
to the teachers and pupils, and distri
buting cards for pledges of aid, this
group of Montana college boys, enthusi

In the Near East crops were a com
