THE GUIDE TO NATURE— ADVERTISEMENTS 



F. Beehler, Retiring. 



We have lost an advertisement — that 

 of Beehler, Stamford. His patriotism 

 shown in sending his sons out of his 

 business to war, together with not the 

 best of health, make it necessary for 

 him to close the business. Mr. Beeh- 

 ler was a regular advertiser in The 

 Guide to Nature for many years, and 

 highly appreciative of this magazine 

 as a local advertising medium, and of 

 ArcAdiA as a community center. We 

 have always felt that he had for us a 

 personal bond of interest and that his 

 heart was with us in our great work. 



We can but reciprocate this kindly 

 good will and give expression to what 

 everybody in Stamford and vicinity 

 knows, that Mr. Beehler has conducted 

 a first-class business in men's furnish- 

 ing goods and in a manner highly 

 creditable to himself and satisfactory 

 to his customers. Personally he has 

 been popular with a large number of 

 men who regard him as a royal good 

 fellow and highly appreciate his social 

 qualities and his ability to entertain a 

 company. His oratorical and recitative 

 accomplishments are better than those 

 of the average amateur and, had he 

 not been so successful as a business 

 man, he would perhaps have turned 

 his attention to the cultivation of his 

 next best talent— that of public enter- 

 taining. The ability to entertain 

 seems not so much to "depend upon tal- 

 ent as on royal genuine good will to- 

 ward an assemblage of people. We 

 take great pleasure in extending to 

 Mr. Beehler the personal and hearty 

 good will of the editor of this magazine 

 and of every one who has assisted in 

 the development and efficiency of The 

 Agassiz Association. 



Where to Begin to Win This War. 



In the national crisis there are just 

 two points : 



i. We must win this war. 

 2. We are going to win it ! 



Had a letter from Horace W. Graves 

 at Camp Funston the other day. He 

 says that the boys are all right, all 

 right, thank you, and gives the laconic 

 advice not to worry about the "poor 

 soldier" but take care of the people at 

 home. Now that is good philosophy. 

 The soldiers can be trusted to do their 

 duty. It's up to us at home. 



Have had several letters from Uncle 

 Sam down at Washington. He says, 

 "Food will win this war." Aye, there's 

 where it's up to us. We've got to get 

 more food. We must tickle the earth 

 with hoe and plough and a lot of other 

 agricultural tools till Old Mother Na- 

 ture laughs with a harvest. 



Of course everybody who reads this 

 magazine knows that the place to get 

 agricultural implements is at The 

 Lockwood & Palmer Co.'s big store, 

 where everybody goes to begin to win 

 this war by solving the more food prob- 

 lem.
