Cooperative systems Weak.

Advocates of cooperative enter
prises point to the great success Of a
few English societies. Glowing re-
ports of how great are the savings to
the people by these cooperative or
CARNATIONS are given. But here the
law of compensation plays part.
While the cooperative methods are ex-
tolled, few who are active in coopera-
tive work show the other side of the
question. II some cooperative enthusi-
asst would dissect the report of the
London board of trade. recently made,
it would be found that since these CO.
operative societies have gained such a
foothold more than half million
workers in various lines have been af-
fected adversely; that those thrown
out of employment by cooperative ef-
forts are objects of charity and are a
burden to the different trade guilds.
The substitution Of one store for a
hundred may mean economy. but when
thousands are thrown out Of employ
ment by the system what other neld
Affords them q living?
The Lamar register., 1908-01-15
GENERALLY OF POOR GRADE
Sales Of Cheap JeweIry by Mall
Amount to Millions Annually.

The report of the sales of one large
mail order house showed nearly a half
millions of dollars worth of jewelry
and silverware sold annually. Take
the total of all the jewelry sold by
the mail order system OF business and
1t is likely to amount to fully $25, 000,-
900 to 10000. 900 annually.
II the people could be made to un-
derstands what kind of stun in the
watch and jewelry lines is generally
sent out by the mail order houses they
would be more careful In buying. The
guarantee Of these houses amounts to
little, regardless of the millions of dol
lars of capital they may have en-
ployed in the business. All the guar
antee binds them to do is to supply
new case IL the one does not wear
for 1.-The 20-year period" Not one
case in one thousand. even though they
do not last five years, are returned
to the concern for exchange. The
cases are generally lowest grade,
and made to order for the concerns.
Not long since the manager of one of
the catalogue houses called upon a
large watch manufacturing concern.
BY the way this company would not
sell the company its own trade-marked
watches unless there was an agree
ment not to cut prices. However, be-
fore the manager left he had agreed
for several thousand watches to be
supplied them. Those watches were
of a certain grade. were sold at prices
lower than good watches could be as
sembled and tested. These watches
have the special marks of the con-
Germ, but not the name.
In rings. emblems, all classes Of
jewelry, the mail order kind is the
cheapest. Should something of a su-
perior character be listed. 1t will be
noted that prices are as high as the
local daaler asks. In silverware is
where the catalogue house gets in its
fine work on patrons. Plated ware
is generally sold according to the
amount of silver. the weight to the
piece or the dozen pieces. used in the
plating and the amount of carved
work. etc. Like other goods. the mail
order house handles a class Of ware
that is lightly plated and inferior to
that which is handled in the regular
stores.
The Lamar register., 1908-01-15
True Principle In Advertising.

According to the most careful esti-
mates, the volume of business done by
the mail order houses in the United
States amounts to more than one bill
lion of dollars annually. When 1t Is
considered that 20 years ago there
were no mail order systems Of busi-
ness as now known, and that since
then the plan has been developed. 1t
becomes evident to the thinker that
there is magic in advertising. for 1t is
by advertising alone that the mall
order business has been built up. 1t
would perhaps be fatal for the small
merchant in the agricultural cities and
towns to follow the plans, the distort-
ed and exaggerated advertising meth
DDS of the department stores and the
mail order houses. Yet there is a prin-
ciple in advertising that ever holds
good. This principle ia as sound for
the little merchant. the dealer in any
kind of wares, as it is for the biggest
concern on earth. In fact, the great
business houses generally had small
beginning, and by publicity pushed up
to the front, writes D. M. Carr.
Did people of agricultural sections
fully realize how the millions taken
to the large cities by the mail order
system causes them a direct injury
it would not be long before these con
Germs would be out of business.

THE LAWS OF COMMERCE.
Consumption Of Products In Accord
anee with Fixed Principles.

II is useless to fight for Innovations
and reforms that are not based upon
logic and sustained by sound princ%
pies. There is too much of the super
fetal in evidence in the work of many
who undertake to better commercial
conditions. The scientist knows bet
ter than to ignore the laws of gravity
in his calculations. The reformer is
foolish to set about his work with an
idea of disobeying any known natural
law. He is sure to meet with failure.
There are conditions in the CONNER
cial world that must be observed. Trade
is in accordance with requirements
Of the people. and these requirements
are according to other relative cir
cumstances. AS our civilization ad-
vances new demands manifest them
selves. While hundred years ago
the people were satisfied with certain
commodities, 1t was because other
things known to us did not exist. The
expenses of living keep relatively the
same. We have statistics that show
the average requirements of a certain
class OF people. We know to a GER
tainty how the average runs. We can
not tell how much a single man will
spend for living during year, but we
do know the average that each in a
thousand or two thousand men will
spend, classifying them as to occu-
patton and earning capacity. There
fore 1t stands to reason that in every
community the amount of trade is in
accordance with the population and
the classes of people composing the
community. 1t is useless to argue that
trade can be increased by certain
methods. A certain merchant by ad-
vanced methods may Increase his
trade, but as he does SO some one else
loses proportionately. Reformers and
business-builders should bear these
facts in mind. and not get their wires
crossed"
The Lamar register., 1908-01-15
Pointer for the Merchant.

A thing that is more or less a con
slant source Of annoyance to the gen.
eral storekeeper. as we'll as his patrons.
is the matter Of arranging goods 30
that there is the right kind of dis
play, protection for the goods from
dust and dirt, and all arranged with a
view of ready access. 1t is necessary
that there be places for hundreds of
different articles. Go into some stores,
ask for certain thing, clerk may
take several minutes in looking 1t up.
Not long ago man called at a general
store and asked the proprietor for
some small wax candles to be used
for ornamentation purposes. The
storekeeper said that he had them.
Then commenced search of the
premises. Corners were looked into,
boxes examined. and no candles found.
The storekeeper was positive that he
had them in stock, and finally after an
hours search found the candles stored
away in a small box under the counter
It required an hour of valuable (?)
time to find ten cents worth of can
dies.
The up-to-date merchant will have
a place for everything and everything
in its place. well displayed and easy
of access. In the grocery store there
should be bins and drawers. shelves
and cases for all the stock. Store fur
niture manufacturers are continually
devising improved means of caring for
stocks and displaying the same. But
1t matters not how perfect the store
arrangement in the way of furniture
and fixtures, there must be system
employed. Sales are lost every day
by not having goods arranged rightly.
The buyer Of groceries dislikes to 60
into a store where there is a barrel OF
sugar uncovered affording a feast for
the flies and a stopping place for the
dust; neither does the man have his
appetite for cheese or other like things
whetted by seeing the arrangement
suggestive of Nth.

FARM LABOR.
haN to Get and Of Poor ouaiity-A
Suggested Remedy.

One of the most common complaint
to-day coming from the farm Is the
incompetency Of most of the farm la
borers that can be secured. It is ao'
to be doubted that this will result
finally in the establishing Of some
kind of school or bureau where
will be possible for crude laborers II
be made into competent farm labor
ers. There are thousands Of idle mel
in the cities in ordinary times thai
would be glad to go out and work in
the country II they understood the
work. Farm work also varies 80 great
ly in character that one kind of farm
laborer is not we'll fitted to do other
kinds of farm labor.
Thus a city man that has worked
as stable man In a great horse-breed.
ing establishment would not be well
fitted by his experience to go to work
for horticulturist. When he loses
his position with the horse-breeder. he
turns his face city-ward and goes to
work for some man in town. II he
had an opportunity to learn how to
do all kinds of farm work he could
readily change from one class OF work
to another, but as matter Of fact II
is not easy for a man that wishes to
learn farming to get with q man that
will let him learn all kinds OF farming
Usually his work is SO one-sided that
he makes little progress.
This is a matter that will doubtless
be taken up In time by the depart
ments in our agricultural colleges that
deal with farm economics, thinks
Farmers Review. 1t would be entire
ly easy for some one of our agrioul.
tural colleges to start such fitting
school as an experiment. with the
idea of turning out annually few
all-around farm laborers. who would
have learned many kinds Of work in
the various departments of the expert
ment station farm. Laborers SO taught
would have the advantage Of having
been taught more correct principles
Of farming than is true with most Ia
borers, who pick up a good desl Of
error with the facts they acquire.

DWARF FRUITS.
EarIiness 10 Their Chief Point Of Ad-
vantage Over Other Varieties.

Dwarf fruits cannot be made com.
mercially profitable. but they have
some advantages over other fruits in
the earliness with which the tree be-
gins to bear. Dwarf pears under good
treatment as to soil come quickly into
bearing. The most prolific sorts give
some fruit the second year after set
ting, and increase the product from
yeaR to year for a number Of years.
A good many dwarf apples are now
being planted. and these soon produce
good crops. OF course these trees are
short-lived and cannot be made to
take the place of the standard sort
of apples and pears. There are
many farms. however. on which 1t is
desired to have some fruit in
few years, and these furnish the
means.
They should not. however. be plant
ed between rows Of standard trees. Is
some suggest, but in a plantation by
themselves. The plan of planting be-
tween standard trees short-lived trees
that are to be dug out never works
out satisfactorily. Here and there will
be found q short-lived tree of more
than usual value and longevity and
the owner will not cut 1t out. Nor
should such trees be dispensed with
till they have passed their period of
usefulness. II they are in a planta-
ton of their own the best trees can
be left to grow and bear fruit long
after the others have been cut out.
