\ MAIL ORDER DEAL.

The secretary of the Retail Mer-
chants association handed the Bel
ION tTeXasD Jorunal the following
clipping. reported in kellugg's
Square Dealer, as an actual expert
ence of a man in Oklahoma. The sec
retary says that this shows truthful
ly how people who deal with mail
order houses are fooled:
Down in Oklahoma the other day
a man went into store to buy 2
saw. He saw the kind he wanted
and asked the price. 1t was s1.65
the dealer said,
Good gracious said the man. i
can get the same thing from Sears
Roebuck & Co. for S1.35.'
That's less than it cost me- said
the dealer, but I'll sell it on the
same terms as the mail-order house
just the same
"'All right, you send it along,
said the customer, and charge it to
my account
Not on your life,' the dealer re-
piled. No charge accounts. You
can't do business with the mail-or-
der house that way. Fork over the
cash.
The customer complied.
Now &c postage and &c for a
money order
What
Certainly, you have to send
letter and a money order to a mail
order house. you know,
The customer, inwardly raving.
Kept to his agreement and paid the
nickel
Now 25c eXpressage.'
II, saying, Now hand me that saw
and I'll take it home myself and be
rid of your foolery'
Hand it to you? Where do you
think you are? You are in Oklaho-
ma and I'm in Chicago, and you1l
have to wait two weeks for the saw.
'Whereupon the dealer hung the
saw on peg and put the money in
his cash drawer.
That makes S1.67' he said 1t
has cost you &c more and taken you
two weeks longer to get it than if
you had paid my price in the first
place,
The above appeared in a recent
issue of the Belton (Texas) journal.
This shows what association officials
can do when they get busy. and it
further demonstrates the fact that
local papers are willing to publish
anything of this kind that is so
clearly in the interest of both their
readers and advertisers. when re-
duested. Very few editors of coun-
try papers get or read the trade
papers. Whenever a good article ap-
pears in your trade paper in favor
of home trading or against Parcels
Post, take 1t to your local editor.

over 100000 JEWS IN
AMERICAN METROPOLIS
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
New York, Feb. Mime hundred
thousand Jews in New York City will
loom up large to many, yet DR.. Jo-
seph Jacobs, editor of the American
Hebrew, declares it surprisingly
small in view of the tendency to
overestimate the Jewish population
here.
Doctor Jacobs based his investiga-
tion on the number of Jewish burials
and from the figures obtained by the
board of health he assumes that the
death rate has decreased to 1875 per
thousand. This would give an aver
age Jewish population throughout
the year of $50, 600, an increase of.
roughly speaking, AZ per cent over
1901.
I'VE might get a rough check on
the figures he said, by comparing
the movement of Jewish marriages
during the same period, which rose
from 5.O32 in 1901 to 1882 in 1910.
an increase of no less than Go per
cent, indicating probably greater ac-
curacy in the enumeration of the
marriages as we'll as improved social
conditions of the Jews in New York
The general marriage rate for the
city-in 1910 was $50 per 900. APP
plying this figure to the number of
Jewish marriage, this would indicate
Jewish population in that year of
SEQ, 900"
According to Doctor Jacobs. there
is a larger proportion of marriagea-
BILE Jewesses than of young women
in the general population, but this
is counterbalanced by a much larger
proportion of males to females in the
Jewish population who are perforce
bachelors.
Dr. Jacobs estimates the popula-
tion on July !. 1910, at S25, 900;
he finds that AZ, 500 more came to
New York and remained from July
|, 1910, to June 80, 1911. and that
in the same period the excess of
births over deaths was $500. This
gives a total of SS2.400 Adding the
35.S96 Jewish immigrants who land
ed at the port of New York since
July l, 1911, less 1910 who left
the city Immediately, and the excess
of birth over death in that period
of 5000, he arrives at total of
903, 400 as his final estimate

SENATOR CUMMINS TO
ANSWER TO The WOMEN
Sentinel Special Service.

Des Moines, Feb. Tinted States
Senator A. b. Cummins will realize
II is leap year before he has progress
ed far with his presidential cam
raign in his native state. The wo-
men of Iowa intend to propose to
Cummins, not marriage. but the de-
mand that he make clear to them his
attitude on women and their rights
to suffrage.
Two questions are to be asked of
Cummins by the Women's Suffrage
league. An affirmative answer to
either will satisfy them. The first
will be whether he has become
presidential candidate merely to get
the Iowa delegation for La Toilette.
II so. they are satisfied. as the Wis
crnsin senator has been outspoken
for the rights of women. If he as
serts he is a candidate on his own
record for himself, they will insist
that he publicly commit himself as
to his attitude ON the suffrage ques-
ton.

The President said: Il fully be-
lieve in the principles of the separa-
ton of the church and state on which
our government is based, but the
questions presented by this order are
of great importance and delicacy.
They arise out of the fact that the
government has for considerable
period taken over for the use of the
Indians certain schools heretofore be-
longing to and conducted by distinct
i've religious societies or churches. AS
a part of the arrangement then
made. the school employees, who were

by ruling of the civil service commits
