ADVERTISING.
It Is In the "unusual" time*
that advertising is most effec-
tive. Not a single housewife
in Brenham but would be in-
terested in a personal message
from her grocer, her butcher,
her baker, or her dairyman.
Perhaps not pleased, if prices
are quoted, but interested, be-
yond any doubt.
Right now when business is
on the Friti, as it were, when
every patriotic woman is trying
to economize, the grocer should
present the articles he has in
stock which are the best bar-
gains. Heaven known the bar-
gain counter is near bare, but
there are a few items which
could be suggested to the mu-
tual profit of the grocer and the
consumer alike.
The average advertiser fig-
ures on cutting out his news-
paper space when business gets
poor—the very time when his
business is in greatest need oi
a wtimulant, a tonic, as it were.
Why don't some advertiser
start in this direction: "Dear
Mrs. Housewife: Let us help
you to solve your kitchen prob-
lems." And then let him name
a few attractive offerings, for
there are still a few commodi-
ties which are not entirely out
of reach of the average consum-
er.
Advertising of this kind is
interesting. It Is the kind that
the readers of th® Great Moral
Dully scan as carefully as they
do this column of high-brow
stuff. It is the kind of adver-
tising that yields the greatest
return for the money invested.
taken
thus preparing
J? to lift a part of the burden
from the national government.
And it is not to be under-
stood that this is all Texas ex*
pects to do. When congress in
its wisdom decides—if it ever
does—how we are to create the
great army for overseas fight-
ing, Texas will be found in the
front rank of the states in pro-
viding her quota, either volun
tarily or by draft, and her sons
will, as they have always, be
found in the thick of whatever
fighting is to be done, at home
or abroad.—Beaumont Enter-
prise.

It is an ill-wind that blows
nobody good. Doubtless the
hardware man is getting rid of
his stock of garden tools, for to
a certainty, the town-gardener
Is at work; yea, he goeth home
from his toll, and procedeth to
spade up the ant hills and the
ash heap, and worketh in his
bean patch until his hands are
calloused and his hide exudeth
perspiration in every pore. And
the water meter spinneth mer-
rily around.
The Calvert Courier is wav
ing the (lag of democracy. In
an editorial too long to reprint,
it charges that the packers and
others have been holding up
and robbing the farmers of the
South for the past forty years.
Doubtless they have gotten all
that was due them and proba
Wy about two-bits over on every
dollar they received. Rut the
farmers of Texas have not
been robbed to any great extent
by the packers and that crowd
They have been robbing them
selves by following the one-
crop program. They have
placed themselves thereby In a
most beautiful attitude to be
robbed. They have Instead of
raising their own meats and
vegetables and feed and Jfood
generally, just let down the

and millers and everybody else
who has to do with making food
edible, because they were buy

While the bulk of America's
rich young men are embarrass
edly seeking a way to combine
service to their country with
their accustomed comforts.
America's perhaps, richest
young man has taken the direct
step dictated by unadulterated
patriotism. He has enlisted as
a private of cavalry. Many
will rise to say that young Mar-
shall Field has done only wha
everybody should do. They
will be careful to ignore the
fact that everybody isn't doing
it.
The notoriety which Private
Field's conduct is bound to
arouse will be unpleasant for
him, but it will be good for the
nation. When the call of duty
leads the nation's richest young
man to leave a sumptuous home
and the joys of a delightful do-
mestic life and to choose the
hardships of u private soldier
and the chance of wounds and
death, thousands of other young
men will heed the call they
have heard but have not yet
understood.—Chicago Tribune.
The Committee on Public
Safety has determined that the
oafer, black or white, shall no
onger infest the kitchens of
this city, and yield no return ' ,
manual labor for ius sustenance.
Heretofore the attempts to en-
force the vagrancy law have
taken the form of "lectures" by
the minions of the law, deliver
ed to the calloused offenders,
liectures from this date will
probably be no less eloquent,
but more brief, and only one lec-
ture to the man.

Selective conscription has
been found to be the only feas-
ible means of creating an army
for war-time. Certainly in a
battle the average American
had rather follow a trained of-
ficer, than one appointed on ac-
count of his politics. The lit-
tle group of wilful men, who
have been lighting the adminis-
tration unsuccessfully, step by
step, may expect another de-
feat.
Brenham is still sending re-
cruits to the American army
In the meantime, patriotic citi-
zens can serve their country by
practicing economy, refraining
from casting reflections upon
the character of loyal Ameri-
cana of German ancestry, and
by keeping a garden growing.

to see the cape of good style al-

be gopher too at that but the chanc-

are made up of one or a combina-

skins selected suitable sartorially
for summertime showing.
