OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS IS THIS A SQUARE DEAL? { The war department and certain civilian agencies are fos- tering a plan to establish a series of citizens’ military training| camps in this country. . ; | It is understood that the government will furnish trans-| portation, subsistence and uniforms, while the student would: be required to devote his time free of charge. A The main object of these camps would be to educate thei public up to the necessity of universal military training, which congress has so far refused to sanction. | On the surface this would appear to be a praiseworthy ! move. A : . But.is it? ; The rich man’s son and the young man in comfortable cir-“ cumstances can afford to devote a month of his time to attend-; ihg these camps without remuneration. He would therefore be: in line for a:commission in the army AT ONCE in the event of war. : ; The poor young man, who can not afford to lose the time! from ‘his ‘business without compensation, has no hope of at-! tending such a camp, no matter how many natural qualifica-| tions he might possess that go into the making of an acceptable army officer. Buck private in the ranks is the prize that awaits| him. . Yet, he must pay his proportion of taxes for the purpose of maintaining these camps for the benefit of those who are more fortunately situated. | If it is necessary to maintain training camps in order to| educate men for responsible positions in time of war there, should be no favoritism shown. i - The transportation, uniforms and subsistence furnished by the government are paid for by all of the people. | If congress desires to be fair in the matter, it will pay each; man who attends a reasonable sum to compensate him for the| time he, loses from his business, at least an amount equal to the!| pay of a second lieutenant, the lowest commissioned grade in the army. tioned out to the several states and counties in proportion to! population, the. local authorities to make the selections from those who apply. . | fair, then it should 'do nothing at all, and there should be no camps, unless private individuals desire to conduct them en-| tirely. at:their own expense. | i i~ To give the subject a purely local application, how many| young'men in this community are in a position to give a month of for the purpore of providing greater security for ALL OF | PEOPLE? =~ - o i e This country is not out of the woods of war. defenders for many years to come. It will need many men competent to step into commissioned rank. - But'in prganizing the camps that produce these officers, we shauld give every section of the country and every class of our citizenry an equal opportunity and a square deal. '!f congress will add the item of compensation to the appro- prlnpon for these camps, together with provisions for an ap- portionment of attendance privileges, we believe the scheme would be ideal and patriotic to a degree, and would meet with popular approval. But to spend the money of all of the people for the benefit of those who are more fortunately situated financially we con- sider undemocratic, ungenerous and un-American. 0- LOOK UP—SEE SOMETHING The best and surest way to bring prosperity back again is for et(';erybf_dy to, léelieve in it and talk about it. rowling and grumbling does a lot of har It produces nothing but further cause for compll;li:tl.]d e oy ’tl':l:';':c{‘srofnthg stun may be recping tl;rough the clouds that| e it, but we can not see it as 2 | ing at the mud beneath our feet.

It should represent the kind of business or profession represented. This means that letterhead problems must be studied from an entirely new angle. The designing of a letterhead can- not be governed entirely by a set of hard and fastrules. If it dould, personality and individuality - would entirely dis- appear. Each letterhead represents anindividual problem dif- " ferent from any other, a problem which, if handled right- ly, requires a careful selection of the material used as well as type and a pleasing arrangement of both. Most people between whom business corx"espondqnce © takes place never see each other. Hence the tie that binds is their correspondence. . ¢ When you first meet a man, you immediately, although sub-consciously, form an opinion of him, based largely up- on his appearance. In the same way, regardless of the ex- pression of a letter, the impression of its appearance has no small weight in your formation of opinion of the writer of that letter. And here is where the letterhead is all impor- tant. i . e The letterhead has a very definite duty to 'perfprm and the letterheads we print are just enough out of the ordinary to express that—*I demand your gttention.” it PRINTED SALESMANSHIP New methods of selling goods have revolutionized all the business world during the last ten years. A prominent advertising expert struck twelve when he called Printing the “Silent Salesman.” | ’ He never misrepresents you and he never butts in when he isn’t wanted. He can'always wait until Mr. Pros- . pect is ready. Unlike some saléesmen, he doesn’t try to tell all he knows the first trip.
