important than the selling
The buyer is called buyer because he spends the
greater part of his time in actual buying Yet the buying

Of sales In this the better the department. manager buys

Every buyer each at the head of different depart

in regard to advertising Then when it to the de-
csion in regard to the particular department the head
of that department the buyer is called into conference
Of course the buyer is responsible for the business
of his department IF too much money spent adver
tising his department may show loss. 1t the wrong
thing is advertised the business will not come in and
therefore, the advertising expense will be too great and
the net profit too little. Therefore, the buyer has much
to say about the advertising. ..."#
Theoretically, in regard to the advertising of any
certain thing in certain department, these three men
decide They supposed to select the merchandise
But really works out the buyer usually selects the
merchandise and it is merely o. KID by the other tWo
Thus the management selects the goods to be adver
tised The choice is sometimes based competition

by some other store Sometimes the goods picked for
advertisement account of cut prlce-fOr instance ar
tcles that have been bought under and be
sold at less than usual price Many times however, the
choice is simply based on seasonabeness of goods
These three considerations usually determine what
shall be selected for advertisement Timeliness is the
greatest of these factors. The Christmas OF

keep up to that empty record That is why stores often
offer real bargains which they actually lose money

STACKER SEEKS
 TO MODIFY ORDER

New York, April 21.--A motion for a modification of the order of Federal Judge Hunt that the government be required to furnish bill of particu- lars for William Rockefeller and 12 codefendants, who with others coll- nected with the New Haven railroad management, past and present are ac- oused of criminal conspiracy, was made here today by Frank M. Swacker. As sistant United States Attorney Gen eral.
 MT. Swacker declares "the govern IT ent should not be compelled to dis close it's evidence and should not be precluded from ascertaining and usin g any additional evidence it may here after be able to secure" and that the requisition calls for practically all of the governments evidence upon which conviction can be had and limits it's proof to that furnished, which will most seriously jeopardize the prosecu- tion."

Wilson Speaks On Influence
 Of Christianity On China
President In An Address Before Potomac Presey Pictures China As Awakened By the Voice of Chrst-Says
 China Will Become World Power

Christianity being done there. The Pres ident dwelt upon this in his address.
 When I think of the great bodies of opinion which sustain the affairs of the world, 1t seems to me that the heart and nucleus of them is the principle of Christianity" he continued, "and that therefore. the conservation of that great fountain of all that is just and righteous is one of the most important things con- ceiVable, infinitely more important than the things which those of us do who attempt to take some part in admin isteIing the external affairs of the world: and when l hear men like Mr. Stuart pleading for the means to introduce this great influence into a part of the world now for the first time feeling it's connec- tion with the rest of mankind now first awakening to the possibilities of the power that lies latent in it, I wonder if it is possible that the maginations of Christian people will fail to take fire
 Why, this is the most amazing and inspiring vision that can be offered you. this vision of that great sleeping nation suddenly cried awake by the voice of Christ Could there be anything more tremendous than that? And could there be any greater contribution to the future momentum of the moral forces of the world than could be made by quicken ing this force which is being set afoot in China? China is at present inchoate; as a nation it is a congeries of parts in each of which there is energy but which are unbound in any essential and active unit, and just as soon as it's unity comes, its power will come In the world. Should we not see that the parts are fructified by the teachings of Christ?
 But that is quite apart from what had come to say. I had not come to speak on foreign missions. I am not competent to speak foreign missions. I am merely competent to utter my deep allegiance to the things which are repre- scented by bodies of people like this and to express my thanks to God that as a youth and as a man l have been permit ted to have some part in them.n
