The merchant will have the cata-

Will be on the spot, knowing the citi-
zens. He will know the quality of
goods and be able to guarantee them.
And he will be there to be questioned
and to answer if the goods are not
satisfactory.
The customer will come to him,
give his order for the goods very
gladly, and have the dealer make his
profit, as he should make it. And
the dealer will be able to have the
goods shipped direct from the manu-
facturer to his own individual Gus
toners, and the county dealer can
have the goods sent, if he chooses,
through the parcels post, with his
own name fastened upon the parcel.
In other words, the local mer-
chant can be, if he chooses, as big
and as complete a merchant in his
own community as any mail order
house in the world
He will have the catalogues of
all the manufacturers. He will be
able to take his commissions. and
yet by developing his own trade, by
advertising individually in the local
newspapers, and by encouraging the
manufacturers to advertise in the
local newspapers, he will be able
to take the order from his customer,
send the order to the big manu-
facturer, have the goods delivered
for him through the parcels post,
and after making his profit he will
be able to sell the goods at least as
cheaply as the mail order houses can
afford to sell them and in many
cases much more cheaply.
Let the country editors and the
country storekeepers remember what
experience in this country proves al
ready-that work on a very great
scale can not be done as efficiently
as on smaller one with close in
dVidual attention.
The storekeeper who attends to
lis customers, who adjusts com
plants and makes things right, who
can give advice, and who, with the

immediately anything that is

SOME NEW YEAR REFLECTIONS

The editor wishes a Happy New
Year to each one of the readers of
this paper, but at the same time
wishes to remind them that the de-
gree of happiness which 1913 brings
to any person is not dependent upon
the wishes of friends, but on how
you have lived during the past IL
months. 1t is generally considered
the proper thing to start new year
BY making good resolutions. This
practice is all right, provided the
resolutions are kept, but resolution
made and then lightly broken simply
lessons persons ability to with
stand temptation, impairs his or her
moral stamina, and weakens the will
power. The benefit OF a good reso-
luton does not lie in making it, but
in keeping it.
The end of the year is the time

count of stock, figure out their

VINO wants to sit back and extract
toll from his patrons simply because
he has secured a seat at the toll gate
will suffer, but the wide-awake mer-
chant who wants to save money for
his customers as well as make money
for himself, who relies upon effort
and good service instead of lack of
competition, to bring business, will
find the parcels post benefit in
stead of a detriment. The founda-
ton of the success of the mail order
houses has been their extensive ad-
vertising. The man who tells the
people what he has TO sell has ire
mendous advantage over the one who
waits for them to come and look at
his goods. Lack of consistent and
aggressive advertising has killed
more stores than competition. The
New York Journal points out the adj
yantages which country merchants
can derive from the use of the par
cells post in the following timely edi-
torial:
IF the editors and country
merchants throughout the country
will combine, if they will use
the parcels post instead of opposing
it, they will soon find themselves
possessors of a new prosperity, and
competitors on a real and success
full scale with the great mail order
houses that have done so much in
jury of late years to the prosperity of
the local merchant.
mo mail order house can possibly
succeed in community as well as
the local merchant, if the local mer-
chant plans his business as intelli-
gently and economically as is done
by his big distant competitors.
Hitherto the great mail order
houses have had the advantage in
buying and distributing.
Manufacturers were compelled to
deal through jobbers and mail order
houses. They could not reach the
consumer direct.
But, with the parcels post and
through the parcels post, and with
/ he aid of the country newspaper and
the country storekeeper, manufactur-
ers hereafter will be able to deal
direct with the consumers, and the
great mail order houses will find that
they have real competition-an ex-
cellent thing for everybody.
mo little merchant can possibly
carry the enormous stock carried by
the mail order house. And being UNI
able to carry the stock, under the old
system, he could not deliver it. The
mail order houses had the advantage
of sending their goods by freight at
a low price.
"If the farmer ordered something
light that did not make it worth
while to ship by freight, he increased
his order by adding to it nails, or
plowshare, or something heavy
enough to bring the weight or his
shipment up to the minimum OIL
freight shipping. He got the goods
delivered very cheaply by the mall
order house.
Under the parcels post, which VIII
constantly improve, the light article
can be shipped to the consumer at a
minimum charge for shipment.

without ever a thought of yielding to
those temptations that beset a girl
who is at once poor and charming.

illiterate, altogether uncongenial.
In such wise, through five dreary
years, Mary Turner lived. Nine hours

spent her other waking hours in oblig-
atory mental labors, cooking her own

There was as well, at the back vague

spect that belongs inevitably to the

demurely enjoyed a modest apprecia-

In short. she had beauty, brains and

the Tombs awaiting trial. She was
quite friendless. To the world she was
only thief in duress. At the last the
trial was very short. Her lawyer was
merely an unfedged practitioner as
signed to her defense as formality
of the court. At the end twelve good
men and true rendered verdict Of
guilty against the shuddering girl in
the prisoners dock.
That which was the supreme tragedy
to the broken girl in the cell merely
afforded rather agreeable entertain
ment to her former fellows of the de-
partment store. Mary Turner through
out her term Of service there had been
without real intimates, so that now
none was ready to mourn over her
fate. Even the two roommates had
felt some slight offense, since they
sensed the superiority of her, though
vaguely. Now, they found a SNUG
satisfaction in the fact of her disaster
as emphasizing very pleasurably their
own continuance in responsibility.
On the day of Mary Turner's tria!
there was a subtle gayety of gossipings
to and fro through the store. The
girls plight was like a shuttlecock
driven hither and yon by the battle
dores of many tongues. 1t was the
first time in many years that one of
the employees had been thus accused
of theft Shoplifters were so common
as to be stale topic. There was re-
freshing novelty in this case. whore
one of themselves was the culprit. Her
fellow workers chatted desultorily of
her as they had opportunity, and COM
placently thanked their gods that they
were not as she-with reason.
Smithson. member of the executive
staff, did not hesitate to speak his
mind, though none too forcibly. Yet
his comment. meager as it was, stood
wholly in Marys favor. And he spoke
with a certain authority, since he had
given official attention to the girl.
Smithson stopped Sarah Edwards,

really loved bis father. The death of
the mother years before had left him
without other opportunity for affection

In that simple and sincere regard
which he bore for his father, the boy
revealed a heart ready for love. willing
to give of itself its best for the one be-
loved Beyond that as yet there was
little to be said of him with exactness.
He was IA spoiled child of fortune, if

Thus far he had enjoyed the good

Yet, measured according to the stern

a humble employment in the Empori-

wage was infinitesmal, while the toll

Mary nevertheless avoided the worst
