Tell EN- What You Have.

There IS no sentiment in trade.
People do not trade with merchant
simply because he is a good fellow, or
because they like him. While
courteous treatment and accomoda.
lions go long ways, the real thing is
to sell cheap. The people like to
make their money cover lots Of goods
When one merchant sells an article
tor little less than the people have
Deed paying for it he soon has numer
ous calls for it, and that's all there is
IN it. They buy this particular ar
ucle and then happen to remember
that they need something else, aud be-
fore they go they have an armful--all
due to the fact that they heard that
this merchant was selling a certain
article cheap. That's business today.
Tell the people what you have and
the price, and the people will do the
rest.

NOT By NUMBER ALONE.
POHoffee Department Change, Part Of
Recent Ruling

II seems that the kick registered BY
the newspapers in general throughout
the county, and the passing Of resolu-
tons condemning the measure by
many commercial clubs, has caused
the acting fourth assistant postmaster
general TO reconsider bis order rela.
tive to delivering mail to rural route
boxes when addressed by number
only. Further than that, he has even
declared that that order is null, al
least for the present
Following is the letter sent out by
the acting fourth sssistan postmaster
general as received at the Great Bend
postoffice and the various other post.
Offices yesterday;
Referring to the letter OF this
Office dated August I, 1905, relative
to the numbering of rural route boxes,
you are advised that the authorization
o the deliyeryof ordinary mail matter
Of all classes addressed TO such boxes
by number alone is suspended until
further notice and you will govern
yourselves accordingly"
"The other provisions Of said letter
relative to the numbering Of such
boxes should be carried out"
This would seem as though the fuss
made about the matter did some good
1t was a well known fact that the or
der benefited the mail order houses
only, ard no excuse was ever offered
why the order Should have BE-, made:
every paper in Kansas with the ex
ception Of a very few, complained Of
the unjuStness Of this order.
