It could not be done. The public
wasn't interested. But that was in
1895. Today the "one-price" system
is better known. The public under
stands the wisdom of buying certain
goods at certain price, and enjoys
the knowledge that such goods can be
purchased as cheaply in the small
town store as in the big city empori-
um. The public having recognized
the advantages of the system, the
jobbers respect it,, and the list of
manufacturers who have declared for
the one-price system as the only fair
one in merchandising, Is growing
apace.
That with the maintaining of uni
form prices the business of the firm
has developed to its present volume,
is unquestioned Endorsement of the
Crescent idea. But further than this,
and in witness of the general growth
and Importance Of the maintained
price policy in the commercial world,
is the fact that this principle in mer-
chandising, conceived and developed
in theyWest, has spread to the East.
1t has grown to practically National
Importance. In his annual report
Secretary of Commerce Redfield re-
ferred to the "one-price," pointing
out that justice to the consumer more
than to the manufacturer, depended
upon knowledge of the truth and
proper solution of the questions in
volved in the system Of price main
tenance." President Wilson, some
time ago, appointed an inquiry as to
the merits of the system.
Bound by their common interest in
the maintained price system of mer-
chandising, there is an association OF
business men of all denominations,
numbering among its members many
of the greatest industries of the conn-
try, as we'll as small merchants and
retailers, all believers in the one
price, system.

possible use it might be in military

perts, both German and American,
answered the question recently This
step to the Germans is known as the
parade march" The English and
Americans dubbed it goose step, ;"
because of its similarity to the strides
Of the barnyard fowl.
The parade march" is used only
on occasions of review, when the
troops desire to pay honor to some
dignitary in stand they are passing.
The step is started just before the
stand is reached and when 1t is
passed, SO that it is continued only
for 40 cor SO yards.
American troops turn their eyes
toward the reviewing stand, this ac-
ton having superseded the old GUS
tom of presenting arms" No other
army has step similar to the goose

it has been in use so long they do
not know. Washington Post.

A "One.Price" Policy
That Won Out in West

- HE well-known slogan, Buy Pa
cific Coast Products" is pro-
ducing live inquiry on the
part of the people, generally, as to
the history of some of the institu-
tions worthy of the consumers sup
port.
People are not going to buy Pacific
Coast products simply because they
are made in the Pacific Northwest,
product that not only competes with
but equals that of Eastern concerns,
1t Is certainly worthy of Northwest
patronage, and when quality Is COM
bined with selling methods of the
best there is all the more reason why
Northwest goods should be favored.
There is perhaps nothing remark
able in the fact that the Crescent
Manufacturing Company, of Seattle,
in the year 1895, was a feeble infant
of the commercial world; that for
few years 1t struggled for its very
existence and during hard times of
'97 had its moments of despair; or
that with the Klondike rush came a
turn in the tide, and it took firm
grasp on life. Or Is 1t remarkable
that 1t has been growing gradually
but steadily ever since, and the year
1915 finds it sending out an increas-
ing volume of baking powder, spices,
extracts, teas, coffee, etc. In this
there Is nothing remarkable at all,
for 1t Is identical with the history of
many best-known Western industries.
But in one respect the company is
unique, and there is the fact that
years ago it conceived and pioneered
plan that to its contemporaries
seemed ridiculous. The Crescent
Company developed a method of mer-
chandising by which 1t proposed to
get square deal for everybody-the
manufacturer, the jobber, the mer-
chant and the consumer, and to in
sure getting this square deal it pro-
posed to sell goods at certain prices,
to maintain those prices to all buy
ers, large and small, aud in turn
asked all dealers to maintain prices
in selling. -.
Other manufacturers laughed, job
bers joked and retailers thought II

Getting Good Prices for Stock

Three courses are open to him.
(1) Sell to a representative of
the big packer.
CD Sell to speculator.
co Ship them himself to the
open market
Today most of the hogs are either
sold the buyers for the packers out
In the country or to spectators who
ship as business. But each year
sees more men shipping their own
stock.
When a packer pays experts big
wages to travel over the country un-
der heavy expense to buy his sup
plies. he does it for just one reason
because he can buy cheaper that
way than he can on the open market
in competition with other buyers. On
the face of 1t then, when farmer
chooses the first course and sells to
the packers representative, he real
ICES less than his stock Is really
worth.
Speculator Unnecessary.
There was time when the specu-
lator, the man who lived by gather
ing up stock and shipping to market,
was necessity. Stock was scattered,
shipping facilities limited, and expert
ence was necessary to the successful
handling of load of stock. Today
he is unnecessary. Any individual
can easily get the necessary informa-
tion from the central market and get
it weekly, and when on the basis OF
that information he goes to market,
his stock will sell just as high as
though he were the biggest shipper Of
the day. Statesmen sell the stock
and not the man.
Furthermore, the man with but 10
or 20 hogs Is just as well off as the
man with full carload. The open,
competitive market is also within his
reach. He can go in with his neigh
bors and make up the load-mark the
hogs and 60 in with them.
Get the Money Yourself.
They will be sold, and weighed
separately and each man get his
money. More than that, he gets all
the money. The man who finally
busy them does so because he pays
more than any other buyer can pay,
and nobody has had profit for ship
ping them in. And that is the idea
today--to get all the returns that ac-
crue to the growing of crop and
feeding it to a bunch of stock. I'm
der present conditions there is no
necessity for division of profits
along the line. Send your stock to a
central market, make the packer buy
in competition. Send 1t yourself and
get all the money.

n GREAT deal has been said,
IA much has been written, and not
a little has been done to teach
the farmer to increase his yield per
acre and the size of his herds. More
corn and wheat per acre." is the
motto. Save the calves" is the
watchwOrd. In almost every county
in the Union today thoroughly in
formed men are telling the people
that they are not producing enough,
that the land will produce more, and
how to get it. These same men, and
they are good men and sincere, are
telling the people that our flocks and
herds are being depleted and that
our farms and ranches must be re-
stocked or in the not distant future
we shall want for meat and hides and
our soil will lose its fertility.
The steadily falling average yield
per acre of corn and wheat on the
older farms justified this warning to
the people. 1t accomplished some
thing, too. We now grow more wheat
and corn per acre and the last Gov
ernment report says the number of
cattle has increased. AS the work
progresses we shall continue to grow
bigger and better crops and to in
crease and improve OUT livestock.
And then what? Suppose we do pro-
duce more grain and feed it to that
larger and better bunch OF hogs?
How are We going to maintain that
increase unless We know equally well
how to market?
Marketing.
The battle Is only half won when
the grain is produced and properly
red to livestock. It's long way to
4 satisfactory market, particularly
with livestock. The marketing of
grain is simpler.
In many sections farmers have or
ganized for the cooperative market
ing of small grains. Many of their
organizations are National In scope
and contemplate the storing and hold
ing OF grain for better prices. In do
ing this they have made long step
In the right direction and have ac-
compllshed much. But a proper sys-
TEN of agriculture demands that a
large portion of the products of the
soil be fed to livestock to conserve
the fertility, of the soil and when cat
tie. sheep, or hogs are finished they
must be sold.
Three Courses.
When a farmer has raised a crop
and fed 1t to a car of hogs, for ex-
ample, he must sell. Heretofore, and
today, to a large extent, he has
lacked directness. 1t has cost toe
much to get to the killer.

the farmer. The dangers and uncer-

Extraordinarily mild compared with the
risk the farmer runs. That the for

most certain; it is extremely uncertain

WHAT. TOPEKA,

Topeka was short $4,000 in her
totals when trying to raise $780,
600 for Washburn. Another effort
will be made to separate the citi-
zens from their money, and to get
the short end of the amount. The
Topeka papers gave their people a
great deal of taffy, and jollied them
up wonderfully while trying to
raise the money, gave them far
more credit than they deserved,
apparently, from the failure to get
the full amount. For there are
single-handed citizens in Topeka
who could have given the whole of
that 100000, and at the end of
the year not have known that they
had made a hole in their wealth
Every town has the idea that its
men of wealth are tightwads; in
the case of Topeka the men of
wealth seem to have proved it on
themselves.-Lawr Gazette.

CHILDREN's MANNERS.

In the course of a very interesting
little article entitled, "Your Children's
Manners in the May Woman's Home
Companion appears the following wise
comment: GOOD company manners
depend upon good home manners. As
for table manners, the active child
who from his earliest years has been
accustomed to regular meals of sim
pie food with sufficient variety for his
health and pleasure will be hungry
enough at mealtime to eat anything
that is put before him. If from the
beginning he has been encouraged by
example, then good table manners will
be as natural as breathing. They will
be a part of him, and he will make
use of them wherever he is. The place
for a parent to begin training the
manners other child is with her own
manners. Whenever a mother COM
plains to me of the bad manners of
her child she is unconsciously lodging
a complaint against herself as a moth
err. OF course a certain amount of
boisterousness and willfulness is to be
expected, and hoped for. in the child;
but bad manners spring almost in
variably from the carelessness, lack of
consideration, artificial ideals, lack of
time-many busy mothers, it is true,
cannot give the time they wish to
their children-of those who are re-
sponsible for the child's training The
old ideal of training in behavior was
based largely upon the principle of
the childs consideration for its eld-
ers; the modern principle demands
also the elders consideration for the
child.n
