If our venerable friend, the editor
of the Banner, will go to the federal
building, just across the way from his
office, he will find there Thomas C.
Easterling of the recruiting service of
the United States army. Mr. Easter Easterling
ling Easterling is a first-class private, and has
been in the service three years. He
says that no private soldier in the
United States army is required to do
any work for any officer that he
doesn't do for all his comrades. That
he doesn't have to black boots nor
even split wood. He can do such work
if he wants to, and if an officer wants
to pay him for it, but such work is
not part of his duties. A lady known
to the Star, and to the Banner also,
who has a brother in the army, tells
the Star that the said brother has
been -appointed- an orderly, and re
gards it-as a promotion. It is very
plainly written in the regulations that
private J soldiers in the American
army shall not be required to act as
servants, and the editor of the Ban
ner can 'easily satisfy himself on the
subject if he wants to. Of course, if
he is determined that our boys are
nothing but" a lot of slaves,' we can't
help his i thinking so, but it's the
Star's opinion that this is a very bad
time to- be trying to create dissatis dissatisfaction
faction dissatisfaction 'with the army.
This is -the latest Ford jokelet:
A goat while strolling down the street
A-looking for some tin to eat,
Espied a Ford a-standing near
And without shedding e'er a tear
He ate the -Ford and walked away
To look for more that very day.
The butcher came along 'bout then
To put that goat within his pen;
The goat,' tho' sentenced soon to die,
Without the' batting of an eye
And to the butcher's sore dismay,
Coughed up that. Ford and rode away.

Merchandise Sold Under a
Money Back Guarantee Must
Possess Real Merit.
Money talks. The housewife should
listen only to the claims of manufacturers who
back their assertions with a money back guar guarantee.
antee. guarantee. I have found in my years of Domestic
Science work that manufacturers of meritorious
products employ the money-back-if-not-satisfied
policy of merchandising. Such manufacturers are deserving of
the housewives' patronage and usually get it.
No matter how good a manufacturer
may say his product is if he lacks courage
to offer a refund of purchase price,-if buyer is not satisfied he
displays a lack of faith in his goods. In such instances the
purchaser assumes all risk and there is always risk, when the
maker of merchandise refuses to stand by his goods with a
money back guarantee.
To make this point clear consider
the advertising of a certain brand of baking
powder. The producers of this baking powder abolish the
uncertainty of buyers getting full money's worth as every
can is sold under a clear cut guarantee of money-back-if-not-satisfied
with bake day results.'
Their advertisements state that their
product is superior they say that it is unfailing
in results pure in the can and in the food and that it pro produces
duces produces absolutely pure and wholesome bakings. Furthermore
they assert that "You save when -you buy it and you save
when you use it." The phrase is so familiar to the housewife,
every one no doubt will recognize it as taken from a Calumet
Baking Powder advertisement. But to get back to my subject
, the importance of those printed words lies in the fact that
the Calumet Baking Powder Co. put the proof before the
housewife with positive bake day results. They invite her to
buy Calumet on a money back trial basis. They demonstrate
dependability tvitk bake day results. They show her actual
savings in real money. I have tested Calumet Baking Powder.
The tests I conducted were far more exacting than could be be-made
made be-made by the housewife and those tests have proved the truth truth-of
of truth-of the Calumet Baking Powder Co.'s contentions, fim house housewife
wife housewife can afford to refuse so liberal a proposition. Al should
give Calumet a trial and millions have done so. That it
makes good its advertised promises is shown in the fact that
housewives who put it to a test continue to use it.

Christmas Song
Oh, Christmas is a happy time,
When human hearts are light
And human hate has vanished
And all the world looks bright!
And Christmas is a solemn time,
For back long, long ago,
Christ was born to give the world
The joy that we now know.
But not alone at Christmas time
Is happiness and cheer,
For he who really loves the Lord
Hath Christmas all the year.
