JAPAN WILL SEND SOLDIERS TO FIGHT GERMANS IN EUROPE Troop Intervention to be Answer to U-Boat Attacks on Shipping. Paris, Jan. 27.—Arrival in Europe this spring of a ‘large Japanese army to fight side by side with the troops of England and France is“predicted here as the probable answer of Japan to Germany’s long distance submar- ine campaign. ; Heretofore, all suggestions of inviting Japan to supply an army to fight Germany on European soil have been rejected by France and England, beeause neither country has thought, such inter- vention necessary to victory, and because in any ease it would have to be paid for by them at the sac- rifice of some of ‘their Asiatic pos- sessions, ‘ It is now predicted in well in- formed Paris circles, however, that the Mikado will voluntarily offer an army to punish Germany for the sinking of Japanese mer- chant ships. In Allied circles it is expected jthat by spring Germany will be lable to establish secret bases somewhere near the straits of Ma- 'gellan, enabling her largest ocean- going submarines to strike at Ja- ipan ‘s trade with South American ‘states and even to harry shipping lin Chinese waters. ‘ Stung. | The Cass County Democrat is | wondering what has become of ‘the sauve gentlemen who were /going to show the Bates and Cass ‘county farmer how to get rich in the dairy and live stock business.

Advertising Public Sales. There are no men who can use advertising more effectively and advantageously than the farmers who are holding public sales. It must: also be said that there are few men who lose so much money through failure to appreciate the value of advertising and the ne- cessity of spending money for it. It is true that public sales are bet- ter advertised than they were a few years ago, but it is also true that many farmers are so averse to letting loose of a little money for advertising that they indulge in false-economy and greatly re- duce their receipts. The ‘average farm sale should be advertised to the extent of $20 to $25 and there are many of them that could spend twice that much and have it far more than returned to them in increased receipts on the day of the sale. Yet there are men who expect to sell several thou- sand dollars worth of stuff who think they have advertised liber- ally when they tack up some bills and distribute some cards. They save a few dollars by leaving the newspaper alone, but one addi- tional buyer would pay for all the advertising and the average newspaper is read by hundreds of prospective buyers whom the bills and cards never reach, That the newspapers are the inost valuable medium for adver- tising the public sale will be ad- mitted by any one who gives a little thought to the matter. The cards and bills are all right, but the territory they reach is cireum- scribed. If no advertising at all were done, if even the bills and cards were not printed, there would be some people -within a radius of a few miles of the farm where the sale was to be held who would know about it. The bills and cards reach out further’and should undoubtedly’ be used, but it is the newspapers that really vive the public sale the most val- nable advertising. The farmer thinks nothing of driving ten or twelve miles or more to a sale if in reading over the list of stock offered, he sees some horses or some cattle he thinks would suit him and it is these farmers who live six or eight or more miles away* from the place where the sale is being held who would not Jearn of it from the bills but must depend upon the newspaper for information concerning it. He sits in his home and reads in his newspaper a description of the horses and cattle and hogs that someone a considerable distance away is offering and makes up his mind to attend. And that kind of a visitor to a public sale is worth a dozen who come for the purpose of visiting and with no definite intention of buying, unless things are extremely cheap, The farmer who is going to have a sale should look into this advertising proposition carefully. Far more money is lost by those holding public sales by advertis- ing too little than is wasted by advertising too much or ciously. A man should use the papers that reach the men, who handle the kind of property he has for sale, as a man who had a jack for sale would hardly advertise him in the Ladies Home Journal, but would use papers read by men in the jaek business. Today we are tliving in a pro- gressive age and the man who uses the same business irethods) today that were successful fifty years ago, 2 rule meets with little sucee When a man advertises a sale in the ‘papers he never knows where: his advertising will stop, and in this age of automobile transportation, distance is short- ened wonderfully and “widens” ’a man’s territory just that much, hence a man: should cover that additional territory with his ad- vertisement. Few men stop a team or car to read a sale bill on a post, but look for the advertisement in the paper that evening, and if they fail to find it, they figure the sale was not of much importance. One man from 20 miles away is worth more to your sale as a rule than half a dozen who only come a few miles, as the man from a distance came for busi- ness.’ Don’t expect your auctioneer to be able to sell your property to good advantage anless you can get him a crowd of interested bid- dérs, for it can’t be done.
