BOTH ENDS AND THE MIDDLE

The retailer- —the newspaper—the consumer. There you have it—both ends and the middle—and the three working in harmony should make any community prosperous. The one cannot prosper without the other, and neither can meet with success without the co-opera-tion of the other two. Therefore, to achieve prosperity for this community it becomes the paramount duty of all concerned to work in harmony—to labor to one common end —to protect the homes that give us shelter and to conserve the interests of the people who constitute the community. We may make of this community a hive of industry and a realm of peace, prosperity and happiness—or we may just drift along with the tide, pick up the crumbs that are thrown our way, and grumble because the Lord provides for others and apparently forgets our existence. ■-,■■■ It will be as we make it—no other way. The Lord has provided us with intelligence, and health, and energy, and the power to accomplish things.

With that His work is done, and the rest is up to us. If we make the best of that which He has given us we will soon become prosperous, and happy, and contented —a people enjoying to the fullest of, life’s blessings. But if we neglect the gifts with which He has endowed us the penalty of failure will fall upon our shoulders—-the responsibility will be ours alone—the commercial stagnation of our common community will be but the natural sequence of our own short sightedness. No community will prosper without the presence of a variety of stores, shops and other marts of commerce and trade. They are as necessary as the ground that we till and the sun and rain that produce our crops. No store or shop can survive without the loyal support of the community—the whole community. The interests of the retailer and the consumer are one in common —-the success of the one depends upon the co-operation of the other. But these two interests that should be working in harmony are often too wide apart—-separated by a yawning gulf of indifference and neglect.

And the body politic—the community as a whole—suffers, and stagnates, and withers, and dies. But there is a remedy. And herein comes the province of the middleman——this newspaper. From a commercial standpoint the local newspaper is simply a “go between’’—it is the medium of carrying the message from the merchant to the consumer. The consumer reads the paper, and if he sees nothing in its advertising columns of which he stands in need it is but natural that in many cases he should drift to other points for his wares. The local business man is forgotten simply because he does not advertise—because he is slower than his out of town competitor. But if the merchant is alive to his opportunities, if he uses the advertising columns of the paper to bring his goods to the favorable attention of the buyer, then he is meeting competition, is making an effective bid for the home trade, and invariably achieves prosperity.

Men of brains realize that it is to their own individual interests to foster their own community by trading with their home institutions. But the seeker—the buyer-—never goes to a haystack for a needle. He follows the lure of the well written advertisement, and if that advertisement happens to be an out of town concern using another paper, then it is generally the out of town retailer who gets the business. But the remedy should be applied. The two ends and the middle should get closer together for the common good of the community. The local retailer and the consumer are the two ends, with this paper as the middle, and if all will unite in the common cause there will be but one verdict—prosperity. This paper stands willing to do' its part. The consumer is willing to do his part—is waiting for the message from the retailer. Our advertising columns will carry the message. But what of the retailer? Will he send that message for which the consumer is watting? Or will he remain passive and let stagnation become the common lot because the message is never told, because the community cash floats out to other points' 7 He will render the final verdict. z

CENTENNIAL JUBILEE COVERS TWO WEEKS

Indianapolis Has SIOO,OOO Fund to Entertain All Hoosiers Oct. 2-15. While practically every county In the state is in some form celebrating the centennial of Indiana statehood the culminating and most gigantic celebration of the year is to be held in Indianapolis, covering two full weeks beginning Oct. 2. The observance is the greatest civic enterprise the capital city has ever undertaken, and it is to be a period of lavish entertainment of the higher class to which all the people of the state are invited. It is, in fact, to be a great civic and patriotic demonstration on the part of all the Hoosiers and it is estimated that one million or more people will attend. It is to be a festival of pageantry, parades, music Olympic games, motor parades, family reunions and oratory with immense arrays of attractions and entertainments for every day. Nearly a score of committees made up of the most active , civic workers of Indianapolis have the details of the celebration well in hand, the whole force of committees being headed by former Mayor Charles A. Bookwaiter as chairman. The business associations and individuals have contributed ' nearly SIOO,OOO to the guarantee fund with which to stage the huge affair. Riverside park, the largest and most beautiful civic spot in Indiana, is to be the scene of the chief pageant which will be given on six afternoons. The state fair grounds will be used for several events as it is the only place near the Hoosier capital with acreage large enough to take care of both crowds and attractions. Murat theater will also be utilized, while the Indiana Soldiers’ monument and its surrounding circle is to be the centerpiece of a very elaborate scheme of downtown decorations. All the counties of Indiana are being drawn upon to organize a processional pageant for one day. Practically all the brass bands of the state will go to Indianapolis for some of the parades and will be massed into immense concerts. The Boston Grand Opera company has been engaged to give three operas at the Murat, and it, with the massed choral societies of Indianapolis will give the grand finale of the celebration in a concert at the state fair coliseum on Oct. 15.

Eighty per cent of the people, of Indianapolis are Hoosiers who formerly lived out in the state and they are preparing to keep “open house” to their kith and kin from “back home” while the centennial festival is in progress. The whole city is astir in preparation for the mighty demonstration, which will be the greatest outburst of "Hoosier” patriotism the state has ever known.

Could Not Do Her Cooking Mrs. F. E. Hartmeister, Tea, Mo., writes: “I was affected with kidney trouble for two years. I got so bad this summer I could hardly do my cooking. I got Foley Kidney Pills and I feel like a new person.” Too many women neglect symptoms of kidney derangement, weak back, swollen ankles and joints, aches, pains and rheumatism.
