appropriation when business is dull
is like cutting, down on the cow feed
when the milk runs short.
This is so true it. scarcely needs to
bo emphasized. When business is
'dull, it is logical to conclude that all
,want to make their money buy as
much as it will, and that they are,
i therefore, looking for bargains. No
! buyer has ever yet looked for bar
gains in a place that does not adver
tise them. The logical conclusion is
jthat the merchant who has bargains
to offer will advertise the fact in or
der to obtain trade.
It is no argument to say that the
people have no money and that.
(therefore, it is useless to advertise.
The people have money. They may
not have as much some times as they

Cutting down on the advertising j muneration. Song writers are de
manding royalties, orchestras require
salaries, some news services refuse
the use of their dispatches. So the
hunt will continue, probably, until
the radio follower, like the movie
goers and the baseball fan pays his
way in full.

What is the result? Every one be
gins to look around to see where he
can get the most for his money. Na
turally he looks over his newspaper
o see what is being offered, by whom
and at what price. He is hunting
the place where his dollar will have
the greatest purchasing power. He
has sense enough to know that the
man who advertises is not making
him pay the advertising bill. On the
contrary, he knows tl-at the man who
does not advertise, due to the absence
of trade, is paying the advertising
bill of the merchant next door who
gets the trade.
When business is dull and people
have less money to spend than usual,
it is the time for the merchant to
place before the buying public such
inducements as he has to offer. When
the cow shows signs of giving less
milk the owner gives her more feed;
he does not cut down on it. He does
something that will cause her to give
milk.
The lesson for the merchant to
learn that is for those who have not
already learned it is that when
business is dull feed it; so the proper
feed is advertising.
The merchant who cuts his adver
tising bill on acoilnt of the dullness
of business is contributing to the
dullness instead of livening up business.

Ever since the beginning of the
present enthusiasm for radio enter
tainment, ever since the band con
certs and the broadcasting programs
and the bedtime stories commenced
to dispute with the dots and dashes
of code signaling for the rights of the
evening air, the radio enthusiast has
needed to make but one expenditure,
the original cost of his receiving
equipment, to bring into his home,
week after week, an unending round
of music, instruction and amuse
ment. "Free as the air" the radio
voices are, indeed, and one of the
chief non-mechanical problems of the
industry which has sprung up out
of the enormous interest in wireless
telephony has been tao devise some
way of making the consumer pay for
the waves his aerial snares for him.
Up to the present, the radio pro-
Half a dozen cruisers and destroy
ers flying the American flag off Vera
Cruz will speak louder than procla
mations to Mexican rebels tempted
to play havoc with foreign com
merce. They speak of guns and guns
constitute a universal language un
derstandable even in the dullest cir
cles. There are things the United
States will not tolerate in the dis
orderly realms of this hemisphere.
If Obregon finally rides out the
storm that now bests him he will
owe to Washington the gift of sur
vival. Not only has this government
sold him munitions and refused his
enemies permission to buy munitions
in this country, and then given Ob
regon permission to march his troops
a short cut across American territory
but it now sends a -detachment of
fighting naval vessels to make a dem
onstration outside the rebel strong
hold. ' -
Being a neighbor to a household
; perpetually in turmoil involves re
sponsibilities that cannot very well
be avoided. Americans generally
know little about what has been go
ing on in Mexico in recent months,
the occasional reports being unsat
isfactory and often contradictory.
The American government, however,
has not hesitated to espouse the Ob
regon cause. It may possess more in
formation than the general public
has. Clearly, the Mexican insurrec
tionists are within their rights in
rebelling against Obregon if they
think the situation merits so drastic
a step.
They must not, however, jeopar
dize American lives or interfere with
legitimate American interests in the
interior. The United States would
naturally look to Obregon to furnish
protection, but in the present case he
is obviously unable to control events
over a considerable portion of his
country. It is useless to appeal to
the rebel leaders through diplomatic
channels. But they cannot faif to
understand" the threat being the visit
of the naval detachment now off for"
Vera Cruz.
It is not to be supposed that Wash
ington intends anything more than
a demonstration or that the insur
rectionists have anything to fear as
long as they keep hands off Ameri
can interests. We do not make our
selves partisans of Obregon so much
as defenders of order. There is such
a thing as orderly rebellion -and that
is the kind which the enemies of the
Mexican state must stick to if they
wish not to provoke the frowning
craft soon to ride at anchor off their
capital.

is this demand that has enabled the
broadcasters to meet the steadily
mounting cost as programs become
more elaborate. Now, like the auto

In the County Court.
In the matter of the estate of
Samuel L. Furlong, deceased.
To the creditors of said estate:
You are hereby notified, that I will
sit. at the County Court room in
Plattsmouth. in said county, on the
26th day of February, 1924. and on
the 26th day of May, 1924. at 10
o'clock a. m., each day, to receive and
examine all claims against said es
tate, with a view to their adjustment
and allowance. The time limited for
the presentation of claims against
said estate is three months from the
26th day of February, A. D. D24,
and the time limited for payment of
debts is one year from said 26th day
of February, 192-1.
Witness my hand and the seal of
said County Court, this 24th day of

od is not new, of course; it was in
vented and patented by an American
army officer several years ago. This
electric company is merely the first
to make general use of it. And it is
the only plan thus far devised that
makes possible a regular charge for
the programs.
Though it is not expected that the
great army of radio fans hail and
welcome the discovery of some sure
way of assessing them for their, en

feel that such a plan for a higher
