DISPOSING OF THE WHEAT SURPLUS: Earnest Elmo Calkins, w riting j in the Rotarian Magazine under! the title of "Advertising's New | Role," expresses a new thought in regards to handling and disposition . as the wheat surplus. He says: "Advertising cannot ' afford to ■ stop when the public loses interest. That is what advertising is i for, to whip up a fresh interest, . combat indifference, carry on. j create action, achieve a .purpose. Because of this fact, paid adver-; Using must be the logical way of j accomplishing certain desirable; ends from selling health to avert-j ing war. and because such ends are j n it the concern o£ any one Indus-1 try or groujf, such advertising must j be a public charge and thus may I properly become one of the func-j tions of governments. "Suppose, for a moment, there j had been a policy of what might j be called "public good" advertis- j ing. advertising to promote the common weal, those great objec-j tives which are nobody's business because they are everybody’s. Take the surplus wheat with which America has long struggled. Every way of disposing of it has been | tried except the obvious one of I eating it. That we could have eat-1 en it If it had been sold to us (by, advertising, of course, as that is the only way) can be shown by a few figures: "The annual per-capita consump-1 tion of wheat is now 4' r , bushels. I Before the war it was 5-- bushels, j That I’- bushels is the surplus. | That we' once ate more bread and hence consumed more wheat than we do now proves that we could do it again. “The drop in wheat consumption was caused by several things. First war propaganda, “conserve the wheat for the men fighting in Europe." Next the slenderness fad which put millions of women on i diet. Also the prosperous years taught us to eat many new and more expensive foods and cut down on the bread, rolls, spaghetti, cakes, pies, cookies, doughnuts, and other foods in which wheat is the largest ingredient. All these results were accomplished by propaganda —a form of advertising. What advertising has done, advertising can undo. The people can be brought back to wheat by the same means through which they were weaned from it. “Only a part of the immense sums spent to peg the price of wheat would be needed to advertise it back to its former popularity, and the government would not ynly have solved its emergency problem Hut provided a future market, instead of being left holding

!the hag. What would such a conI cern as the du Bouts do with such ' a problem T The end of the war I found them w ith largo stocks of , J nitro-collulose on hand and no mar- ! ket for It. The chemists found I peacetime use for It, a hundred new products were sold by advertising, and the whole world was wrapped in cellophane.’’ K Hoffman, In charge of securing easements on road 527 Is getting near the end. He has secured about sixty per cent and the rest I are either in controversy or held |up because of the signatures of heirs are necessary. Whether these can be obtained in time to get In jon the October letting next Tuesj day is doubtful, but we are still j hoping. Another letting will be | held in November and perhaps we can get in on that one If we miss this month, but we can't get in un- : less we can get the right-of-ways. ! That's a sure thing. Autumn is here. You can feel It i in the air and its time to tell your ! customers what you have for sale. | I'se the Daily Democrat and watch 1 your sales grow. Once a week is j not enough to advertise. That's j better than not at all hut the wise | merchant tells his customers each j day w hat he has special. Our fate* ; are low and our circulation covers | the trading radius of Decatur. | Don't pass it up. Plenty of beets will be on hand j Monday for opening the big mill, j ; They have been coming in steadily j the past two or three days and are | j being handled with dispatch at the | j factory jnrds, much to the satis faction of the farmers who thus, j save a lot of time. It is said the J : machinery inside the building. i>: also in "apple pie" order and it is j I expected a record will be made in ! beet cutting after they get going — ■■ — A big parade on Hallowe’en would i be fine entertainment and provide | a good time for thousands. SevI I eral events of this kind were held j here but had been discarded the past year or two. Now with times i better and folks at work, there is ino reason why we snouldn't pep up and do things. President Roosevelt, wearing his | j famous smile, watched the Wash- [ j ington Senators trim the Giants i and apparently got as much kick j out of the thrilling plays as any | ) one there. The final score yeater-1 'day was four to nothing and the! I American League fans are looking ; wise and hopeful once more. Members of the Giant and Sen ator teams < scrambled like a lot of boys after the ball tossed out by President Roosevelt yesterday and Maneuso, of New York, came up smiling with it. So even the players themselves have a hobby on I souvenirs. We thought so—Sally Rand is to have a new trial — maybe. The! court has set aside the verdict any ■ way and unless the case is dismissed will be given another hearing . November Ist. Bishop Cannon refused to vote in the Virginia repeal election and his town went wet by sixteen. Surely the fighting southerner ! hasn't a yellow streak. o •* . -»

FLORIDA DRYS FACE MEMORY TEST AT POLLS Complicated Ballot Ottered For Prohibition Amendment Flection Tallahasse, Fla. Oct. 5 Tlit> Florida dry ts going lo havo a , good memory when lie goes to »he polls to )ote Oct. Id OH the ques tion of repealing the prohibition amendment. For a com plicated ballot will I confront him, and if be wants to vote a straight "dry ‘ ticket the matter is a bit involved. { The ballot carries three claselfi j cations of candidates to be named to the slate convention to ratify I the repealing amendment. (Troup A candidates are pledged to favor ratification and repeal of the ISth ! amendment; Group B candidates 1 are against ratification and there--1 fore in favor of the retention of 1 the alcoholic liquor prohibition laws; and Group C are those c|jnj delates who are not pledged to ! vote either for or against ratiflea- ; tion if they are elected to attend the constitutional convention to be ( , held in Tallahassee Nov. 14. | Group A has qualified 67 candi-. ’ dates —there will be 67 delegates. ;to be elected to the convention, so | it will be easy enough for the wet I j voter to check all 67^1.lines and his j | ballot will be accepted Any ballot j having more than 67 names mark- | ed w ill be counted in the usual man-1 j ner. The Group B contains only eightj dry candidates, and if the dry | wants to till out his full list o( 67 j candidates, lie lias to delve into I the Group C list, where it is claimed 60 of the unpledged candidates favor retention of the prohibition amendment. It is not stated on the ballot, however, whether the unpledged candidate personally favi ors repeal, or retention, so the dry will have to do a bit of memorizi >ng. * Secretary of State R. A. Gray has ordered 600.00 U ballots printed. He estimates that between , 200,000 and 250,000 votes will be ,! cast at the 1,275 precincts. o Attend the opening of MiLady’g Shoppe above MillerJones store tomorrow.
