In prosperous times when there is full demand for labor em ployers in the seasonal trades have to pay good wages to attract men and the workers'are able to save some thing to tide them over the slack season. But then in prosperous times unemployment ceases to be s greet problem. Though the unemployment problem in its more serious aspect is a by product of the present competitive system of industry', suggestions are made for easing its worst hardships. It is proposed to shift certain kinds of work from times of stead employ nient to times of depression. This could be done with programs of road- building and generally with public works. No doubt there are many pri vate projects which could be devel oped in slack times if thought were devoted to the matter, such as clear ing land, draining swamp lands, re foresting cut-over areas, etc. In spite of the fact that industry is organized for profit and that employ ers feel too little compunction in dis charging their workers as soon as their market shows signs of weaken ing, it is possible that many of them are shortsighted even from a busi ness standpoint. In a recent number of Commerce and Finance the presi dent of an important motor-car con cern tells why he kept his factory go ing in the face of the depression which he saw coming a year ago. "Ws appreciated if we shut down we would have the tremendous cost of breaking up our producing organization, which in turn would have cut our sales or ganization all to pieces. Than, you have carrying charges in shut-down and these have to be paid out of cash, capita! or surplus. We have come through with our organization intact. That means that it has not coot as much in dollars and cents as If we had shut down.

Ut il be aerrad from 8 to 9. adv The Red Bluff Daily Nawa submit, thia statement: "If you had newspa per space to sell, and a payroll to meet, would you wll your apace to business men who want it or would you hold it for local people who won’t take it and who sometimes declare advertising doesn’t pay!" The question is one that concerns newspaper editors everywhere. In many places, notably smaller com munities, the newspaper has a hard struggles for existence. It may be a live sheet, splendidly edited, but the local merchant feels that “everybody knows him" and it is not necessary to advertise; that he does about the ‘same amount of business anyway.” Ha fails to appreciate what it means to his community to spread the newe abroad of its doings, of its achievements and of its opportunities for new settlers. Every new family means at least 11,000 yearly spent in that commun ity. Every merchant gets his share of this. In supporting tha newspaper by ad vertising, the merchant encourages enterprise on the part of the publish er, and the greater the publicity given the town and district the more rapid the growth. The local newspaper is the chamber of commerce and publicity bureau combined. It should have the support of every one, to tha end that the greatest amount of good may be ac complished. Thousands of dollars’ worth of free advertiring is given every year to the community by tha local newspaper. Every little thing is boos lad, and peo ple abroad begin to find out what ■ fine place your town is. Only in advertising can the local newspaper find reward for its effort. The subscriptions do not more than pay for the cost of publishing and delivering the paper. In supporting the paper by adver tising, the merchant is contributing not only to his direct benefit, but to th« future of the community. Naturally, If there is not sufficient income from local sources to pay the bills, and leave a fair margin of pro fit, there tan be no question of the Justification of the newspaper in ac cepting advertising from abrosd. The people of Byron, for instance, would not have the Byron Times for another issue if it were not for out side advertising. The fact that this advertising space is In demand by out riders is a tribute to tha paper—to its influence and wide circulation. The Red Bluff News wisely says "newspaper space is not for hand- picked customers, any more than is the commodity of any other business. And all other business sells its wares where it can And a customer." Subscribe for th* Harald, |1.5O. Rd, HARRY SEARLS Pioneer Wood Sawyer E. R. BRADBURY ADVERTISING SPACE (From th* Byreo.
