THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS CAN 8AVE 8MALL TOWNS The following editorial appeared originally la the Macon Telegraph. It ^ In being widely reprinted. With the coating of now modes of travel, merchant* la small communities ure usking, "How can wo keep our citizens front going to trade In larger towns and cities?" To Intelligently answer the (jues Hon, It Is necessary to learn why those customers are tempted to trade elsewhere. The answer Is simple. Advertised goods and attractive bargains offer the lure. No customer leaves his or her home to buy things that are not advertised. The prices must appeal and the goods themselves i must be temptingly described. More and more business. Ask any travel lug salesman, and he will tell you It Is impossible to sell to merchants any but nationally advertised brands. No salesman has genius enough to stock on a merchant's shelves goods that are not well known to the public; and If should do so in a few instances, the buyer will llnd himself stuck. The goods won't move, t Advertising is the only known method to create Increased human desires. Unless these desires are stimulated, merchants stagnate. The small town merchant has been notoriously dlsclined to advertise. He took It for granted that people In his community would llnd him and ask for whut they wauled. Occasionally one of those morchauta did venture to use advertising space in his county newspuper, and If he understood how to prepare his ads and create desire, he made a fortune. Many communities have seen this happen. Even such a necessity as flour Is now competitive, one braud mutched agalust another. A good advertiser who studies his business can drive into the. public mind the Idea that his Is the only brand thut a housewife can afford to use, and he can do It without referring to any other flour. Even corn meal has the same chance. Milling bus become a science. The mill that can clean every deletorius particle out of the wheat or corn has an appeal to every customer who can be made to understand what clean, sound food means to health. If advertising can pay a meal dealer or a flour merchant, it Is certain to sell more of life's luxuries. What better medium for these messages can be provided than the eoun- . try newspaper? Is not, then, the] county paper the hope of the small town' merchant? The dally papers are going to farmors and small town readers as never before. They are laden with stories of tempting bargains. Will the small town merchants let them have the business? There Is but one defense. It is to stock goods that are worth advertising and then tell about them in the county newspapers. RABBITS Rabbits increased so rapidly on a small island near Hawaii that they soon denuded the land of all vegetation In their search for food and then starved to death. A hare, tagged with a brass ticket In Hungary, liberated in Germany was shot recently in Hungary. It had roamed the ranges for four years, passing through three countries and over a mountain to return to the native land. Once protected by law In Australia pet rabbits are now forbidden there. Keepers of pet rabbits are liable to a penalty of $500. Propagation of a single pair of rabits is so rnpld and numerous that the progeny in a few years could comfortably fill all the subway cars Mother rabbits leave their progeny to shift for themselves if human hands have handled the baby rabbits. A natural swimmer, the rabbit, with its heavy fur coat, often drowns if In the water too long. The fur bocomes saturated and weighs the an! mal down. Pursued by an enemy the Jack rabbit becomes a high Jumper as well us I a broad jumper. Every six forward I strides the Jack rabbit leaps high in | the air to catch a glimpse of the purI slier. \ | Rabbits are injured, at times, when j i picked up by the ears or feet. They should be picked up by the scruff nt the shoulders with one band under the rabbit's body for additional supI port A carrying box should be used j in transporting them for any distance. Senator Rorah of Idaho, Is oppos| ing renewal of the reciprocal trade agreements on the ground that the I burden of these agreements fall on agriculture.
