ADVICE TO RETAIL MERCHANTS

The foremost retail merchant in
America is John Wanamaker. In a re-
cent address at a gathering of Philadel
phia merchants Mr.. Wanamaker de-
clared there were two absolutely vital
requirements for success in retail trade,
good merchandise and advertising.
eff you have in your shop, instanced
Mr.. Wanamaker, exactly what 500, 900
people of this city want, but only 500
of them know you have it, the care and
energy you have expended in maintain
ing stock of high quality will do little
good to your business" Again, "the
satisfaction of knowing that your name
stands for good merchandise is a great
thing certainly, but it is not apt to be
greatly profitable unless the public at
large knows it also.
Following this idea, Mr.. Wanamaker
warned his hearers against relying in
continued interest in their goods on the
part of the buying public if they discon-
tlnue their advertising appeals. Mr..
Wanamaker, with the great reputation
which his store enjoys is one of the
largest advertisers of the world. 1t is
easy to understand why the house of
Wanamaker has become so great though
its beginnings were of the humblest
character. Mr.. Wanamaker always
has stood ready to guarantee the quail
ity of the goods he offered the public
and from the first has been an adver-
tiser.

MILK PRICES FIXED

At the monthly meeting of the Inter
state Milk Shippers Association, held
in the Parkway Building, Philadelphia,
last week, the price of milk for March
was set at cents. A number of New
Castle county people were in atten-
dance.
The meeting was largely attended by
number of non-members, and in the
afternoon they had the pleasure of lis
tening to an able treatise on "The
Economics of Dairying," by Professor
Harry Hayward, director of the Agri-
cultural Experimental Station Della
ware College.
Prof. Hayward said in part:
The economist, looking at the mat
ter from general point of view, would
be inclined to say that milk and its pro-
ducts are as much of a necessity to hu-
man life as meat, flour, coal or kerosene
and in consequence there should always
be demands for them. Furthermore,
that if milk and its products are econo-
mically produced, handled and market
ed there should be a living wage for
all engaged in any part of the business.
That this is not the case, except in
a comparatively few instances, is at
tested, by the fact that we meet only
few men engaged in milk production
who are satisfied with the returns OBJ
tained.
This dissatisfaction is so general
that we are here to discuss some of the
reasons that may be the cause of this
condition.
There are number of reasons why
the dairy business is in the rack. Some
of them are easily defined while others
are more or less complex. The result,
however is the producers are dissatis-
fled with the business and in some sec
tons Of the country are leaving it in
considerable numbers.

SHEEP RAISING PROFITABLE

The consumption of mutton per capita
in the United States is increasing every
year, through the amount used is much
es s in proportion to other meat than in
Europe. There are good reasons for
expecting a continuation of good prices
for mutton and lamb, and the demand
for wool also may be expected to in
crease more rapidly than the production.
These facts are brought out in recent
letter from specialists of the depart
ment to a southern farmer who inquired
regarding the possibilities of the sheep
business,
The departments specialists called
attention to the fact that while farm
raised sheep have often not been profit
able, this has usually been because of
lack of proper attention and manage
ment. Variations in price Of wool and
mutton have stood in the way of such
general interest in sheep as would cause
them to be regarded as highly as they
should be in the future Ranges all over
the world are now carrying about as
many sheep as they can support under a
strict range system, and an increase in
the productirn of sheep products must
come mainly from farms. Here, then,
is the farmers opportunity to take ad-
vantage of the increased consumption of
these products.
While mutton can be produced at low
cost and there is a growing demand for
it, difficulty in selling may be expert
enced in sections where the amount of
live stock produced has not been sufici
ent to make. it worth while for regular
buyers to operate. Slaughtering plants
that can handle carloa1s are within
reach of all sections, and if sufficient
number of neighbors combine to have
100 lambs of similar breeding, size, and
condition to ship jointly the returns are
assured. 1t will also be possible to Sc
cure visits and bids from buyers when
such a number is promised. The lamb
clubs of Tennessee, notably the one a.
Goodlettsville, has proven very success
full in this work.
The same organization can also be
used in disposing of the wool.

MUCH INTEREST IN
METHODIST REVIVAL

Tonight Mr.. Klein will discuss
this very vital and much controvert
ed, as well as often misunderstood
subject. Last night he spoke on
Worldly Amusemcnts, and it is
needless to say he did his subject full
justice. The audience which was
the largest Of any week night since
the meetings began, listened to his
portrayal of the evils incident to and
logically issuing from the theatcr,
the card table and the dance hall
vii the closest attention. Quoting
the highest ecclesiastical and civil
authorities in justification of his
position, the speaker pointed out the
evils toward which worldly amuse-
ments lead, as we'll as the evils in
themselves.
During the day yesterday five
prayer meetings were held, from all
of which came reports of blessing
and profit. Today there are three
public services, at 10 a. m, 3 p.
m. and 1880 p. m. Two prayer
meetings. mems MONDAY meeting
of one-half hour, from 1880 to II,
and a workers prayer-meeting at
7:15 D. m. in the primary room
These will be regular features dur
ing the remainder of the week.
Tonight as announced above, the
subject will be "The objectionable
Sim" and on Thursday at 10 a. m.
a meeting for mothers, though this
service will be open to all.

KAISER'S BROTHER
GOES TO SOUTH AMERICA

Hamburg, Germany, March 10
Prince and Princess Henry of Prus-
sia are to sail today for Argentina.
The German newspapers have com
mented at great length on Ameri-
cans journeying there, urging that
it was intended to strengthen the
influence of the United States in
South America, and that Germany
should take counteracting steps. It
is thought in many quarters that
the voyage of the Kaisers brother
and the Princess may be partly for
this purpose. The two most pow
erful German battleships, the Kaiser
and Koenig Albert, left for South
America in December to display the
German flag.

uneducated, SO they never had a
chance. They have nothing on
Becker and if they had they would
give him up just as quick as look at
him. Harry Vallon is the man who
killed Herman Rosenthal." =" She and
Mrs. "Gyp the Blood" earn money
to pay for the defense, by sewing,
while "Dago" Franks mother sold
her furniture to pay his expenses.
"They, the gunner, know that Val
Ion was the man who committed the
crime, and they have told me that
time and time again. Who would
have listened to them, had they tes-
titled to it? Their stories would
have been called perjurers. Life is
just as dear to them as it is to Beck
err" finished Mrs. Rosenberg, ''and
don't think that they want to sacri-
flee an innocent person. They
would rather go to the grave them
selves than to see some man who
had nothing to do with the shooting
put into the electric chair.

the recovery of the body Of Clements
Vergara. Further steps demanding
the punishment of Vergaras slayers
