Recently this newspaper published an editorial
suggesting that if business is poor, advertise. This
was merely the newspaper sljpit upon the question.
."We naturally advocate the remedy with which we
are' most familiaT as we know -it has been success
ful, but there are other remedies of merit, radical
retrenchment not being one of th^m, however.

way even though it means spending more money
than when things are booming. If you come to a

the contrary you step on i t

It ¡requires more work to raise a crop in a poor
season than when everything is favorable but good
formers recognize this fact and instead of quit
ting, work all the harder.
Unavoidable conditions usually are responsible-.-
for bad bnsiuess periods but they are invariably

Fighting Inferno On Earth
A minister at Dallas, Oregon, invitedzthe whole
town to a special sermon on “ Fir« Prevention.”
Jle might have likened jt io the fire-and-brimstone
Of Calvinism; but he didn’t—he told it just as it is,
with the fire loss of life running to 15,000 or more
a year, mostly women and children and hospital
inmates. I t’s almost as bad in America as the World
War; and infinitely less defensible, for there is in
the fire loss no plea of national honor, no protest
against outside assault, but only personal greed
and carlessne8s and jsravado. It is a moral and
spiritual question that the church might well take
up and handle without gloves. •
Truth, Its Unfailing Strength
’ The press of America ys noi infallible as to

a Judas among the Master’s Twelve; there was an
Arnold in the Revolution; there wag a Nero in im
perial Rome; there have been traitors masquerad
ing as editors, just as Ujere have been fraudulent
bankers and shoemakers and railroaders and men
from every rank of life ^ B u t geherally speaking,
what one reads is usuall^nore true than what one
