MISTAKE FOR MERCHANT
TO SHOW FAv0RITISM.
Best Policy Is to Treat All Customers
AIike-SmalIest Buyer Entitled
to Consideration.

Some s~torekeepers make a serious
mistake by having favorites on their
list of customers. Simply because Mrs.
Brown has lots of money and Is in the
habit of ordering a large bill of goods
is no good reason for giving her the
choice of everything in your stock,
while Mrs. Jones. who has to count her
pennies and whose orders are small.
receives the leavings.
or course in certain articles there are
various grades to fit different pocket
books. Mrs. Jones cannot expect to
get for her smaller price the same quail
ity of butter, for instance. as does Mrs.
Brown. who pays more. But there are
a good many things called for and sold
in the store dealing in groceries and
general merchandise that are of only
one grade. and of these poor Mrs.
Jones should receive as good as rich
Mrs. Brown.
Some s~torekeepers and their clerks
make another mistake. They Guido
themselves in polite attention to the
customer giving an order for a list of
goods that fills up the merchants en-
tire order blank. while the customer
coming to buy a spool of thread or n
paper of pins is accorded little or no
courtesy. This should not be. The
same degree of polite attention should
be accorded one customer as h other.
Mrs. Brown may telephone a hurry
order for something for whose delivery
she can wait n reasonable time with
out Inconvenience. Mrs. Jones may
have been In nm hour before that and
asked the storekeeper to please send
her modest order of groceries to her
home as soon as possible. More likely
than not she needs them for immedi-
ate use. Perhaps the men folks in a
press of work are in Il hurry for their
dinner. Here again the merchant who
plays favoriteS stoops to folly. His
decision is Mrs. Brown is a big Gus
toner. but Mrs. Jones spends only Il
few dollars Il week at the store. Mrs.
Jones can wait. I'll send out Mrs.
Browns order first"
These are all very bad ways Of do
ing business. Most storekeepers know
it. vet there remain some who have not
awakened TO a realization of the fact
that the best policy, the successful
policy. is to treat all customers with
equal consideration, the big and the
small.

TREES TO AID RECLAMATION

In developing the plans for the west
extension of the Umatilla reclamation
project in Oregon the national reclama-
ton service adopted Il new feature in
work of this character. This is the
planting and maintenance by the for

trees throughout the extension at in
~tcrvals Of about every half nile. The
strips will lie 200 20 ION feet wide.
and their total length will be approx
mately 100 miles.
The purpose of this new departure Is
tn supply fuel and fencing for the fu-
tnre settlers on the land and to pro-
feet the sandy soil from the winds that
blow up the Columbia river. The

The GeoIouists' Clock.

Each fossiliferOus rock bed contains
characteristic forms or groups Of
forms that determine the period in
which it was mud or sand. Former
Director Powell of the United States
geological survey once tersely ex-
planned to a congressional committee
the value of paleontology by saying
that it is "the geologist's clock" by
which he tells the time when rock
beds were formed. The economic i'm
portance Of paleontology has been re-
peatedly shown in this country. In
the earliest exploitation Of anthracite
coal thousands of dollars were fruit
lessly expended in New York in search
Of coal beds until the New York geol-
ogists showed that the beds in that
state could contain no coal. The fos-
sils in the rocks exploited are devo-
nian, whereas the fossils Of the Penn
syivania anthracite coal beds belong
to the earboniferous, much later pc
riod This discovery at once stopped
useless expenditure of money.-Ar-

Dryden's Ruse.
gonaut.

The story is told that Dryden, finish
ing his translation of "Virgil," sent it
to Jacob Tonson for publication for q
sum specified upon the manuscript.
Tonson was desirous of obtaining the
book, but determined to take advan-
tage Of Dryden's need Of money. He
therefore informed the poet that he
could not pay the sum Dryden asked.
In reply Dryden sent the following
lines in description Of the publisher:
With leering look. bull faced and freckled
fair
With two left legs. with Judas colored
hair -
And frowzy pores that taint the ambient
air.
When this was delivered to Tonson
he asked If Dryden had said anything
more. Eyes, replied the bearer; "he
said to tell the dog that he who wrote
these lines could write more like them"
Tonson sent the money at once.
