PEIL WANTS TO KNOW
How to Handle People Who Won't
Listen to Reason.
Ashland. Ore, March 15.

Ashland, Ore, March Is.
Editor Ashland Tidings: Noticing
the comment in the Ashland Rec
ord and clipping from a Klamath
Falls paper, relative to views of
the law to eliminate trading stamps
and scrip, which says, There has
long been a feeling that the prices
asked by merchants are too high and
for that reason many people have
sent away cold cash to outside firms
to purchase articles they could have
purchased here l would say that l
have observed this evil during my
business career and have tried to find
a remedy for it. But it's impossible
to understand the human mind and
to get inside of its way of thinking.
For instance, | will describe one cir
cumstance that happened lately. a
party less than thousand miles from
the city hall wanted to buy a certain
amount of fencing shortly after l got
in the Carload via Panama. The
kind they wanted ] quoted at SO 1s
cents per rod-spot cash, no trading
stamps or further discount Their
remark was, ooh, you are too high;
can get it cheaper elsewhere" told
them that it was impossible, consid-
ering weight and quality. But they
decided to get another firm to send
for it and paid 40 cents per rod for
fence OF the same specifications-bu
not the American fence, which Isl con-
sidered the best fence made. The
twenty odd rolls they bought weighed
only LAG pounds to the roll, while
mine weighed 152 pounds. l have
not been able to ascertain whether
these people knew how to figure or
not, but it seems that any one can
see that 361s cents is less than 40
cents.
What is merchant going to do in
a case of this kind? l had my $1,000
invested in a carload of fencing and
( did so in order to meet catalogue
houses and their prices, yet no con-
/ isideration was shown me for my ef-
forts. Similar cases come up most
every day, because some people have
their ideas set on sending off for
goods and are deaf to reasonable
facts, arguments or figures.
Yours truly,

HOW ZEPPELIN BOMBS TORE UP STREETS
 OF LONDON
Associated Press)

Of those killed by the first bomb, in the recent Zeppelin raid on London, one was a railroad employe. His wife, who was by his side, escaped unhurt. The second was a man who was killed by some broken glass which cut thru his neck. The third victim was 9 woman close by.
 The other dead were the victims of a, bomb dropped in the middle of a wide thoro- fare. The missile pierced a gas main causing a fire which lasted several hours before the gas could be cut off. A driver, a conductor and a special constable were killed in a motor bus which the bomb struck.
 lncendiary and explosive bombs were dropped in the same spot. These pierced a water main and the rush of water quickly extinguished fire caused by the incendiary bombs, but nevertheless, the people passing at the time were killed or injured. A number of the victims over whose bodies the inquest was held died from shock or in a hospital as a result of their injuries.
