Looking For a Coon ; Get Honey
Last Saturday evening John O.
Yeiser and family accompanied by
Joseph Coppeck, all of Omaha, came
to Xehawka where they visited at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Strum.
The men folks were very eager to
try their luck at the hunting of the
festive coon and went to the home
of Henry P. Strum where it was
supposed that there were plenty of
coons in a certain tree and when the
doga scented this very tree their sus
pisions were confirmed and with Gale
Sturm, the other gents secured twenty-five
pounds of blasting powder and
placed it in the tree, with a sufficient
fuse they set the charge off. The tree
was literally torn to pieces and pieces
were hurled hundreds of feet. Every
body was on the alert for the coon or
Raccoon, but not a one made his ap
pearance to the great disappointment
of the men. On searching about in
the semi-darkness they found three
dead honey bees, which led to fur
ther investigation and which re
vealed a large deposit of very ex
cellent honey. All feasted on this and
took the remainder to the home of
Mr. Sturm. After having partaken
so liberally of the honey the hunters
had no more desire for the chase and
returned home to Mr. and Mrs. A.
F. Sturm's where they listened to
the concerts on the radio.

STATE EXECUTIVES WANTED
I The federal government for the
past three years has been able to
constantly reduce taxes, while th;
state governments have been con
stantly increasing them.
In a few states where state tar-
ation has been lowered, it has conn
about by the vigorous efforts of an
able xecutive in the ofhee of gover
nor.
Governors have either increase 1
tax burdens or been unable to re
uuce them have generally been men
who merely play politics, or indivi
duals of clerical capacity.
It state governments are to escape
the woes of mob rule or the dicta
tor, the people must select execu
tives strong enough to curb the
appetite for political spoils.

! ( Xote The following is a timely ar
ticle on "Advertising Costs" by Lee
Fleming, sales manager of the Flyer
Garment Co., Fort Smith. Arkansas.)
T'iie store that doesn't advertise
I pays the advertising bill for the one
! that doc s.
Every merchant in business pays
for advertising, whether he uses it
or nol. If a competitor's advertising
takes any business away from him,
the profit he would have made on
the lost sale is what his competitor's
advertising cost him.
You have, perhaps, wondered how
seme stores can afford 10 spend such
enormous sums for advertising. That
is easy to fathom. Their competitor,
who doesn't advertise and whose
business they take, pays for their ad
vertising. Say the Jones family is a customer
of your store. They have $C0 which
they intend to spend with you. They
read the advertising of your com
petitor and are induced to spend
their $C with him instead of spend
ing it with you. The store makes 20
nor cent, or S12. on the sale. They
deduct, we will say, the $1 advertis
ing cost and have $11 profit left.
The
insr.

only
advertising has cost them noth
they got back its cost and had
profit they would not have had
for their advertising.
Who paid for this advertising?
Did the customer pay? Xo! He
5jot the co?t back, and profit besides.
Hid the purchaser pay? Xo! He
r;ai(i only the regular price.
Then who did pay?
The store that did not advertise
paid for his competitor's advertising,
fie not only paid for the other fel
low';; advertising, but he paid out of
his cash drawer, the profit his com
petitor made on the sale. The store
that doesn't advertise pays the ad
vertising bill for the one that does.
Me pays in loss of sales, profits and
increased costs.
The store that, loses business thru
not advertising has such-high over
head and unit sale cost that it can
not possibly sell goods as cheaply as
the store that increases its sales and
reduces its cost with advertising.

Lincoln, Xeb., Jan. 11. More cat
tle are going on gTain feed in var
ious sections of the state, the state
and federal division of agricultural
ttatiEtics reported n a review of the
present agricultural situation in Xe
j bra ska.
I The general feeling among farm
jers is somwhat better than a yenr
ago. A. E. Anderson, federal statis
tician said, but many farmers are
dissatisfied with the present price of
(corn and feel they are being dis
1 criminated against, since the pur
' chasing power of their dollar is not
on a par with that of the manufac
turer. His report was based on re
plies to a questionnaire mailed to
bankers throughout the state. Live
rtock farmers, it was found, are in
clined to show more optimism.
The condition of winter wheat is
reported at 91 per cent of normal,
although the ground is somewhat dry
in some sections.
For a mild after-dinner smoke, go
to Bates Book and Stationery Store.
