Rates for merchandise shipped by
freight or express vary more or less
according to distance. If the govern

merchandise, obviously it's rates
should also be based on distance; 9TH
erwise gross inequities would exist,
not only imposing heavy discrimina-
lions against local dealers on long
haul shipments but also resulting in
the railroads and express companies
so adapting their business that the
government would find itself getting
all the Improbable business-"hol
ing the SACK in other words.
But under the existing zone system
the local dealers are not Disseminated
against; they can compete. 1t is OBJ
vious that, in the upbuilding of coun-
try towns and rural communities and
in protecting them from influences
that are drawing trade and population
away from country districts and into
the big cities, efficient and up-to-date
business methods on the part of local
merchants are necessary. There are
many things along better merchandise
ing lines that country retailers might
consider such as more attractive store
fronts, better window displays, rest
rooms for women, more efficient ad-
yertising in the local papers, meeting
and getting acquainted with their
trade and taking a more active part
in the public affairs of the commun-
ity. Better merchandising is prime
essential in perpetuating and strength
ening rural community centers and
many merchants are realizing that the
parcels post affords them an excellent
opportunity to do considerable mail
order business themselves in the first
zone, or within a 50-mile radius, and
are going after this business on a
comparatively small scale of course
but aggressively and effectively. The
home merchants can meet any outside
competition but if they expect to hold
the trade that rightfully belongs to
them they must convince the people
| by advertisinw and progressive meth
DDS that they have the goods for sale
and at fair prices.

But more vivid than any flash of ora
tory, display of fireworks or patriotic
parade is a visit to that section of
ID. c., where are preserved many not
abel relics of the War of 1776
People leading nomadic lives of to-
day can scarcely realize that delicate
garments and costly laces of that
period of 1877 years ago have been
kept through so many lifetimes with
out damage or destruction. Yet no
room for doubt is left by the authen-
tic documentary evidence accompany
ing these precious souvenirs of that
colonial struggle.
Not only is the uniform of Gen.
George Washington to be seen hang
ing there in glass case, but nearby,
in a similar enclosure, is the hand
embroidered robe the Father of His
Country wore when being chirstened.
The buff of that full dress Continental
uniform is as spotless as when the
dignified soldier wore it with such
grace, and the blue of the coat lacks
even a suggestion of being faded.
Gazing at it in the position of promi-
nence it occupies at one end of the
old museum, one can picture in mem
DRY the many stirring scenes and
splendid ceremonies through which
that costume has passed. And such
material evidence of the Revolution

could any school history or anecdote
