Why Slough Is in the FYeId

Why Slough Is in the Field
In explaining his earnestness fol
the cause of Christ as the sole motive
of his evangelistic work, he pictured
the horror of mothers pleading fol
their lost sons and wives for thei1
drunken husbands, and all the sin.
cursed living of the world He said
Why should 1 burn my candle al
both ends, with this strenuous evan
gelistic work away from my home and
family, here in the loneliness of the
crowd. and amid the bitterness of un-
just criticism from all sides, if it were
not for the love of Christ, and the
message L can carry for him ?"
In describing the easy paths on
which sinners start, he said, "I do not
believe there ever was a man who de-
liberately started to be bad, but he
gradually worked into ways of pleas
ure seeking and selfish qualification
until he got to breaking the laws of
God and man in sinful habit. 1t is
the little things that start a man to
sin. He first sees, then covers. then
takes and hides"
He compared sins to the coddline
and the Gypsy moths which started
from the larvae that escaped acct
dentally from the experimental lab
oratory of a scientist and are now
spread over the country and are caus-
ing millions of dollars damage to trees
and crops every season.
Tabernacle Packed With Men
The afternoon service open to men
only was undoubtedly the greatest oc-
casion of its kind that ever occurred
in Harrisburg. Eight thousand men
filled the tabernacle half an hour be-
fore the time for beginning the service
and when the women members OF
the chorus left their places to go to
the women's meeting in the Ridge
Avenue Methodist Church, one thou
sand more men came in to take their
seats in the choir loft.
DIR. Slough explained his position as
evangelist in this city and in refuta.
tion Of the charges of grating made
against him to the effect that he had
come here only on a guarantee OF

him but that his only remuneration

amount of the salaries of the clever
members of his party. He said he

accusations that strike home. At the
close Of last nights meeting, he could.

to call for repentance had ne been
ready to make it, but he explained
tnat the time was not quite ripe for
his purpose.
5000 in Spite of Rain
The test of his attracting power
came last night when, in spite of the
rain, eight thousand people crowded
into the tabernacle and strained their
steady pour of the storm on the roof
of the building.
His sermon was an eloquent dis
course on sin, with a fifteen minute
interruption to make thrusts at some
side issues
His sermon on sin was a picture Of
is reality and a review of the little
things that often start the trail of sin
in the world and of its consequences.
He pleaded with the sinners of Har-
risburg to make repentance during
this six weeks campaign. and said
that this will be for many the last
chance to secure a pardon for their
offenses.

CATL|N WILL co
Topeka Baseball Official Will
Attend Omaha Meeting.
Schedule and Salary Cuts Local
Clubs Only Chance.

Will Topeka remain in the Western
League next season?
This question will be uppermost in
the minds of local baseball fans next
week and the action of the meeting OF
minor leagues which convenes In
Omaha next Tuesday will probably de-
eide not only Topeka's fate. but also
that of the wichita club.
Arch M. Catlin, president OF the To-
peka club, will leave next Monday to
attend the Omaha meeting and will
work for a reduction in salaries and
shorter schedule in an effort to keep
Topeka on the baseball map.
In discussing what he would do at
the meeting. Mr.. Catlin said:
II will do everything in my power TO
get a shorter schedule and reduction
in the salary limit. If these measures
are adopted, believe Topeka can con-
tinue to live in the Western League,
otherwise not"
Mr. Catlin said number of ,negot1a-
tions were on for the sale Of the local
franchise, but that nothing would be
done until after the Omaha meeting,
as the club owners are anxious to keep
their holdings provided they can do SO
without having to suffer heavy finan-
cial losses every year.
Topeka fans, and Topeka as a busi-
ness town, owe much to Mr.. Catlin and
his associates who have .exerted every
effort to give this city good ball club
and who have spent their own money
in large sums in so doing.

PAIRING PRICES.
Comparison of Selling Methods Prove
Regular Dealers Have Great
Advantage.
BY David Powell.
Copyrighted 1914; All rights re-
served.)

In q preceding article of this Sc
ries the conclusions of factory cost
expert were given as to the compare
tive buying power of different classes
of merchants which very clearly dem
onstrates that the larger concerns
have very little. If any. advantage in
the buying of merchandise. In this
article the selling methods employed
by catalog houses will be compared
with those employed by the regular
dealers.
The first item Of expense the local
merchant has to consider in fixing
his selling price is freight charges.
and the next is his cost of doing bust
ness. In freight charges the local
dealer has little. II anything. the
best of it. All of his goods are ship
ped direct from the factory by
freight, and much of it in car load
lots that give him still lower rate.
Against this the mail-order merchan-
disc must stand the initial freight
charge from the factory to either the
central or branch house. and Sec
ond transportation charge from the
distributing house to the consumer.
This second charge averages very
high, as a large part of it is either
express or postage. That the catalog
house has no advantage here is quite
apparent.
Upon the merchants ability to
properly regulate his cost of doing
business depends his ultimate success
or failure. To the consumer not
versed in commercial terms, the true
meaning of this expression is often
not quite clear. It is determined by
totalling all items of expense con-
nected with the running of a business
for certain period, say a year, and
the percentage this amounts of the
total sales for the same period ia
known as the cost of doing bust
ness" This, however, is entirely
apart and separate from the percent
age Of profit a merchant adds to the
cost of an article to determine his
selling price. BY better methods and
stricter economy one merchant may
do business at less expense than his
competitor, which would enable him to
sell the same article at lower price
and still make exactly the same per-
centage Of profit on 1t.
It is plainly evident that II the
large city stores and catalog houses
have no advantage over the small
dealer in buying an article, 1t is man
ifestly impossible for them to sell it
for less than the small dealer, unless
their cost of doing business is less
than the local merchants. From
many sources it has been learned
what different merchants figure their
cost of doing business and it very
rarely exceeds 20 per cent. 1t would
simplify matters very much If few
OF the big catalog houses would pub
lish the came Information. AS of
course they won't, in order to make
a comparison it will be necessary to
estimate it. For example, take one
of the large mail-order houses sit
uated in Chicago.
Such a concern has an immense
