TRADE INFORMATION

mail order catalog is to tn,
i consumer exactly what the large
. Wholesale merchandise catalog is t.
the retailer-a buyers guide. It give
. him exactly and concisely the infor
nation he requires regarding quality
size and price to enable him to make
his purchases intelligently. In 1t hi
finds illustrated and described every
article that he is at any time likely tc
need or want.
The small retailer cannot catalog
the goods he sells in the comprehen-
sive way that the mail order concern
can. but his disadvantage on that ac-
count is more apparent than real. In.
evitably the mail order house must
catalog hundreds of items that thous-
ands Of consumers are not interested
in at all, or are interested in only at
certain seasons. The catalog talks
just as loudly about screen doors and
refrigerators in the winter as in the
summer. and 1t solicits all classes Of
trade in exactly the same manner.
Moreover, catalogs soon get out of
date as well as out of season. Selling
by catalog is not like a vacation ram
Bile, by any means. 1t has its thorns
as we'll as Its roses.
Several big advantages that the small
retail dealer possesses the mail order
house has not and never can have.
The local retailer knows his trade, he
knows Its needs In general, and in
most cases he knows the Individual
consumers resources and require
quirements. He can adapt his adver-
tising not only tn tho season In his
locality, but to the special needs of
the people that should patronize him.
In addition, he can concentrate his
efforts on individual seasonable items
OF merchandise as well as upon indi-
vidual persons. Finally. he can add

The retailer who loses trade to the
mail order house does so because he
neglects to utilize the means lying
ready at hand to get that trade for
himself. First let him study his |
stocks. his customers and the mail

space. the mails and Der.
sonal solicitation. The trade the mail
order house will then get away from
him will be negligible and the in
crease in his own trade will be aston
ishing.

away, using Main street for
their course while en- route back
to their stable at the hospital.
At the first crossing the side
boards Jared loose, and the
balance of Main street to Mon

able commodity. One would
have thought that the long

Coleman-.Fifield

Last Friday evening at eight
o'clock Rev. Ralph d. Fifield, of
Texico, and Miss Elsie Coleman,
of Minnesota, were married at
the church in Farwell. The
church was beautifully decorat-
ed, and the seating capacity
would not accommodate t h e
people. Miss Coleman was at
tended by Mrs. Hendrix as ma
tron of honor and Mr.. Fifeld's
first man was Rev. Hendrix,
pastor of the Methodist church
in Texico. A simple ring cere
mony was performed by C. w.
Lambert, pastor of the Christian
church Of Clovis.
Mr.. Fifeld has recently taken
the work as minister of the
Christian churhes of Farwell,
Portales and Melrose and has al
ready a large number of friends
in these places who are glad to
welcome his helper and to wish
them success and happiness in
their new work.

Pearl Nichols. 500 was neces'

practically raised by Mr.. Await
Thursday evening.
Pearl, who is Ia years old had
her limb amputated at Texico
about six years ago as a result
of a rattle snake bite. She is
one of a large family and is de-
pendent on a widowed mother
for a living. The work of rais'
ing money for this worthy cause
speaks highly of the men who
have subscribed to the cause and
to Messrs Await, Nelson and
Neal who took up the work and
raised the amount.

Jess Willard, the Kansas cow
boy, is the new heavyweight
champion pugilist of the world.
He knocked out Jack Johnson,
the black champion. in t h c
tweny sixth round Of their
championship bout here today.
1t was Johnson's fight all the
way until the twenty second
round, when his vitality left
him because of the hard pace
which he carried Throughout the
early rounds.
The Kansas plainsman then
opened his heaviest attack and
in the next few rounds carried
the fight away from the black
man and toppled him over with
rights and lefts to the jaw and
blows to the face.
Seventeen thousand persons
saw the combat and when john
son crumpled up on the floor
from a fierce right swing to the
jaw, the crowd broke into the
ring. Soldiers cleared the ring.
Johnson took the referees
count while lying on the ropes,
but the moment after Referee
Welsh had given the decision,
the former champion got to his
feet in time to greet the wild
rush Of excited spectators.
The knockout came SO sudden
ly that the big crowd seemed as
much dazed as johnson himself.
Up to the time of the final blow,
johnson showed but few marks
of battle but had slowed up and
was perceptibly firing. Willard
said as he was being escorted
away, that he was never hurt or
in danger at any time.
Johnson said he had no excuse
to offer and that "a better and
younger man had taken the
championship title"

Many Women Cast Ballot and Manifest Much Interest

The election held Tuesday for
the purpose of electing five
school trustees and also to vote
on the $18, 100000 bond issue

first seemed apparent. The
school conditions were bad this

school room and a feeling
seems to have been general that
there should not be a continual
tion of existing conditions any
longer. The consensus OF
opinion seems to be that a good
substantial ward school should
be built on the West side. The
bond issue carried by a good
substantial majority. 4S7 votes
were cast, 357 in favor of the
issue AMI 100 against il. A
total of 493 votes being cast

show our appreciation of those
whose fellowship still continues
From the time came to Clovis
| have had unfailing cause for
gratitude to the Clovis people,
and especially has there grown
upon me for the past few months
a feeling that | must express
! this gratitude in this broad cast
way.
Through all these months, and
especially since the opening of
Christmas season | have been
the undeserving recipient o f
such a stream of favors and
kindnesses OF many kinds from
the Christian Church people in
particular and Clovis people
generally that | have been utter
ly at a loss to know how to re-
ceive them becomingly and to
make a fitting reply. Since the
source of some of these is yet
undiscovered, | am throwing out
these remarks as a bouquet of
flowers, an offering to the mag
unanimous spirit of the people of
this city. May their perfume
reach to the last heart that beats
to the tune of "brotherly love"
whether he knows me or not.
After some considerable ex-
perience with sickness both in
my own home and in the home
of others, l am thoroughly con-
vinced that one would not soon
find a place where there is great
er sympathy or more willingness
to help everywhere manifest.
Who is ever sick without feeling
about at least a few friends as
Paul felt about the Galatians
that if it had been possible, ye
would have pulled out your own
eyes and given them to me?"

O. f those who have prompted

saying that if they will call and
separate their dishes for me |
will carry them home-What
cooks some of these Cl)vis wo-
men are and how generous with
what they cook! and if an op-
portunity should never come to
repay these favors, | shall be led
to pass some of them on to
others.

IGNORANCE PREVAILS;
ROCKEFELLER BLAMED

Oakland, Cal-By importing iliterate
workmen during the Colorado mining
strikes, Rockefeller has increased igno-
rance in that State, is the charge of Mrs.
Mary Bradford, state superintendent of
Colorado's public schools.
The educator also charged that the
policy OF importing these workers is re-
sponsble for nearly all of Colorado's S
industrial difficulties. She said:
1T is to the Offices at 20 Wall street
that nearly all of Colorado's industrial
difficulties can be traced. 1t is not our
peoples fault, but that of the absentee
capitalists, who have shipped in foreign
labor from Europe, that the educational
standards of Colorado have suffered
For no other reason except that illit-
crate foreigners have been shipped in by
the thousands by outside capitalists to
work the mines in their interests, the
whole average of Colorado's literacy
has been lowered in the last dozen years
"Twelve years ago Colorado stood
second on the list of States in literacy
Today we are seventh, yet the schools
have increased steadily in efficiency and
numbers.
1T has been absolutely impossible for
the schools to absorb this great influx
of foreigners with no knowledge Of our
language and habits.
Every time shipment of this type
of labor copes-sometimes there are as
many as 1000 or 5000 the average
is pulled down and Colorado gets an
other black eye for which it is in no
way to blame.
"This is what is making our educa
tional problem one of the hardest a de-
partment has ever had to cope with.
