LINCOLN COUNTJl SHOUT $89,150 I
ON ITS LOAN QUOTA
The Trlbuno regrets that It cannot '
say to the world that Lincoln county
subscribed Its quota on tlfo Victory
loan, but the cold facts are that when
war ceased our patriotism began to
oozo, and as a result we have fallen
short of our quota by a sum that does
.not really look well In print. The
quota for tho county was $476,200, and
the total amount subscribed was
$387,050.
Tho North Platte district oversub
scribed Its quota by somewhat' ovci
$16,000, tho total subscriptions being
$253,150 while the quota for the dis
trict was $237,800.

The subscriptions of the Great

E. and the National Refining Co. were
credited Lincoln county but not taken
through tho banks.
The only bank in the county that
went over Us quota was tho Farmers
State Bank of Sutherland, and as the
other bank in this locality was unable
to "raise their full quota, this bank pui
the district over .the top by buying
$4,650 over its quota. If every bank
took as much interest In the credit of
their community as this bank. Lincoln
county would be over the top in this
loan.

Federal Official Urges Necessity of
Campaign of Advertising to Attract
Attention of Consumers.

"Advertise your business. I owe all
my success to printer's Ink."
This wes tho language of P. T. Bnr-
num, and thnt ho was n conspicuous
success Is generally admitted.
Something of the same sort seems
to hnve struck Washington. Roger
W. Bnbson, director of education serv
ice, labor depnrtmcnt, has Issued a
statement urging a campaign of adver
tising, snylng In partr "Prosperity ul
timately depends upon tho consumer.
If thero Is not n market for goods
they will not bo produced. . . .
Only by advertising can buying pow
er be stimulated, but advertising does
stimulate buying power and brings a
very direct return to tho man who ad
vertises." It Is sound advice. It Is also time
ly.
Advertising Is the chief auxiliary In
trade. It Is not tho road to success,
but success Itself. Advertising Is to
tho business mnn what machinery is
to tho mechanic.
How can n mnn know what you
wjint unless you ask for It, or what
you have to sell unless you advertise
It?
"My advice to tho merchant," says
Mr. Babson, "Is this: For your own
interest and for the good of tho'coun
try, Increase the advertising appropri
ation you have mnde for this yenr. If
It is $20,000, make it ?2f,00O; muko it
more if you can."
