c. o. HANES ISSUES NEW BOOK
"Retail Credit and Adjustment Bu.
reaus" Title of Local Mans Work.

Competition is keener and coopera-
tion is greater among business men
today tina never before"
This is the opening statement of a
new book on the work of retail mer-
chants associations that has just been
issued by c. o. Hanes, secretary of
the Columbia Retail Merchants AS
sociation
The title of the book is THE Retail
Credit and Adjustment Bureaus" More
than 300 copies of the book have al
ready been sold to commercial clubs
and other civic organizations in var
ious parts of the country.
The book contains more than forty
pages of material dealing mainly with
the matter of organizing cooperative
credit and adjustment bureaus in
small cities and towns.
The retailer is the greatest sufferer
from poor credit methods and habits,
according TO Mr.. Hanes. In discuss
ing this subject, he says:
"The retailer has found out by re-
peated experiences that clothes do not
make the man; that the possession of
property or social position does not
always imply honesty and integrity"
The author explains that coopera
tive credit bureau is of benefit to mer-
chant as well as creditor. The good
pay customer is protected from those
who do not pay their bills and those
who are counted "slow pay" are en-
couraged to live within their means.
The book explains in detail how the
credit bureau is conducted by the Co
lumbia Retail Merchants Association.
Sample forms for the conduct of the
bureau are shown.

ENTER THE FORD SUBMARINE

1t is not at all surprising that the
manufacturer of the Ford car has en-
tered upon his duties in the Advisory
Navy Board by planning a smaller and
cheaper submarine. After the success
sive appearance of the Ford roadster,
the Ford touring car, the Ford limou
sine, the Ford tractor and the Ford
truck, the Ford submarine was next
in line. No doubt a Ford aeroplane
and a Ford dreadnaught soon will be
forthcoming!
Henry Ford made millions out of
the idea of a cheaper automobile. The
United States will now have the
chance to save millions by substitut
ing these new. small. cheap. gasoline
under-sea boats for the larger, more
expensive kind now in use. The liz
ventor even promises that the new
boat will be much more easily hand
led and propelled in the water.
AS Mr.. Ford says, the proposed sub
marine will be heart-breaker for the
armament people, who are constantly
urging the building of ships that cost
more and more He believes that
these cheap, but effective, torpedo
boats will exert a wonderful infiu
ence in procuring disarmament A
fleet of these little submarines could
easily defend America from the at
tack of the mightiest dreadnaughts.
And all of this may be accomplished
at Ford prices.

Quarantine on Potatoes Removed.

A study which the Department OF
Agriculture has been making for some
time now of the potato disease known
as powdery scab has resulted i'm the
discovery that soil and climatic con-
ditions limit the power oil this disease
to develop. In consequence the quar-
antine regulations, which formerly
restricted interstate shipments of po-
tatoes from Maine and two infected
counties in New York, were removed
September |. These restrictions were
precautionary measures designed to
protect potato growers in other
states who obtain a large amount Of
their seed from the infected district.
Recent Investigations, however, indi-
cate that the danger of infection in
the central and southern states is not
great. In the majority of cases the
disease has failed to develop in these
regions, even when it is known that
seed has been planted.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Garden
lovers who wish their gardens. or the
grounds around their houses. to be
rich in spring with crocus, narcissus,
tulips and Spanish iris, should begin
their work without delay, for fall is
the time to plant the bulbs of these
flowers. The work should be under
taken as soon as early frost has in
jured the foliage in the beds of annual
flowers, for, while the bulbs will sue
ceed if planted as late as November
in the latitude of Washington, they
are much better planted earlier, and
in the Northern States will not sue
ceed when planted later than October.
In the case of the crocus, many Will
find il desirable to establish the plants
so that they grow and blossom on the
lawn much as the wild flowers do. or
they may be mixed with other bulbs
in the border where they Will be one
of the earliest flowers to appear in
the spring and will have disappeared
before the narcissus begin to bloom.
The list of varieties of the latter,
often known as daffodils or jonquils.
is almost bewildering and some of the
more vigorous growing kinds may lie
established in the lawn in more or
less natural state.
Many of the varieties however, that
succeed in this way in England, where
the flower is exceedingly popular, will
not do so well in this country, except
in the Southern States and on the
Pacific Coast. Perhaps the best for
this purpose are the poeticus varieties,
which are certain to be hardy. They
should never be planted in the lawn
in rows or geometric figures. An easy
method of giving them a naturalized
appearance is to scatter the bulbs as
if one were sowing seed, and then
plant them where they happen to fall
This should be done only where it is
desired to leave the lawn in a half
wild condition. for the grass cannot
be cut until the foliage begins to die,
which will be a few weeks after the
of the flowers.
In many of the parks of the large
estates of England, in portions os
North Carolina, on estates along the
James River in Virginia, and even in
old New England gardens, narcissus
that was planted many years ago is
still vigorous and produces every
spring beautiful display of blossoms.
Tulips Good Only as Borders.
Tulips may also be obtained in
many varieties and, by proper selec-
ton. will give a succession of bloom
for several weeks. No attempt should
be made to utilize them except in the
border on the formal bed.
Coming after all except the latest
tulips, is the Spanish iris. inI though
one of the most attractive for the bOr-
der, it is one of the cheapest of bulbs.
often being called "the poor mans or
child" To be most effective, it should

same kind.
All of these bulbs will do well in
rich loan that is well
drained. but they will often succeed
very well in less favorable conditions
If they are to be planted in the borde"
Or in beds the soil should be workei
deep, but no manure should come in
contact with the narcissus, crocus, Or
Spanish iris, though well-rolled ma
