VAIN FEARS
By Walt Mason

Why should I fear the hour of going? I'll venture forth, like some good sport, upon the silent tide that's flowing to an unknown, uncharted port. The world logged on before my coming, as it will jog when I am dead, the spheres will on their course go humming, the stars will glitter overhead. Man fears his passing, but he'd ortn't; the vine that to yon trellis clings is just val ucd and important, in old Dame Nat ures scheme of things. Am l more craven than the creeper that shades the doorway of my coop? Shall 1 be coward, doubter, weeper, when these old vines don't care whOop? The roses do not fear the weather that puts the finis to their bloom; they scent the summer air together, and unprOtesting meet their doom. Have I less courage than the roses, shall I forsake my cheerful grin, when some old saWbones grim discloses the solemn fact that I'm all in? The lovely roses and the lilies, the boys and damsels all must go; it's natural; why have the willies? It's no excuse for fear or woe.

The Mail Order Business

The extent of the mail order. business in any community has been fully realized by merchants, who do not keep close track of the buying public in their vicinity the great mail order houses do. Another of mail order iosuos has just been received ir PEoenix from large Chicago house and another from another house has been received in Prescott distribu- tion.
 It is said good authority thar on single Phoenix street line within a distance miles, there fifteen families who regular ratrons of another of these mail order houses. and that theIr monthly expenditures from sIo to S4o. There probably than fifteen patrons within the district People who buy from mail order houses do not, as a rule advertise Slat fact.
 How many mai order patrons there are this valley be only wildly guessed at zine there very households which there is ready n,oney that have been directly solicited by the mail order houses
 Those who have money have been regularly bom- bardod with biz catalogues and little catalogues. They have received direct letters relating freight parcels post charges They have been how they be with the gAatest conven- fence. Whether they vet patrons not, the mail order houses have household words with them An almost intimate personal relation ship has been established.
 As soon as the average citizen has been led to believe that he gan few dollars a month  by buying of a mail order house. he becomes a patron That lis community is deprived and cooperation is nothing him. is no use e appeal alone to his loyalty. We're very muci alike in this respect
 But the fact is that the mail order patron does not save a few dollars any other sum. a month. He only thinks he does He merely contents him. self with cheaper quality of goods which he has bought from pictures, paying cash in advance He could have made personal selection of goods of the same quality the reliable local merchant at price greater than he paid the mail order house. with transportation charges added The local merchants however, ke the same trouble to explain these things their patrons that the mali order houses take tell somo- thing else.
 There is no slack advertising for the mail order houses. When business duIest with them they put in their time planting seed the oountry- It is during the monthE that the country is flooded with mall order catalogues. The harvest is expected months later, when people do their fall and winter buying.
 We not finding fault with local merchants because of lack of advertising. the contrary they have been liberal patrons, but think that they have not sought that close intimate rea- tonship with the people which would be so benc fcial hoth.

SHOPPING

Shopping is a sort of shadow buying indulged in by women. Man, who naS no cash allowance except that made by his salary, buys with great reckless ness, often purchasing an entire suit without looking through more than one store. Woman has to be more careful She has, to buy twice as much for one half the money and usually does it. But it keeps her buster than she would be if she earned the money herself
 No woman is a good shopper unless she knows what is in all the stores in town and the prices thereof. Otherwise, she might buy handkerchief for 9 cents on Tuesday which might have been bought on a Monday at another store only 2 mile away for 2S cents This would make her feel worse than the man who bought q siX-cylinder au tomobiie just before the eight-cylnder cars came out for less money.
 When a woman goes through five stores in an afternoon, prices 137 articles and comes home with a spool of thread she is not merely enjoying herseli. She is keeping tab on the keepers. The next week some emporium will mark 75-cent corset covers up to S9 cents and will hold q grand reduction sale which will crowd the store with eager buyers. But the Class A shopper will merely smile and wait until the financial bulge has sub sided.
 If stores did not change their prices so much women would be able not only 10 do their shopping but to stay at home occasionally and do the house. work This would save so much money at home that they would be able to buy twice as much. Moreover, the stores would be able to sell goods with half the clerks and would cut their prices so much that they would be able to sell more goods with less advertising which would take away half the temp tation to women who would then be able to get along with half as much as they have now-which would make them so prosperous that they would pay twice the present prices without question.
 This sounds a little bit mixed, but not more so than most of the cOnclus- ions arrived at by political economists after studying the laws of supply and demand with earnest and reverberat- ing care.
