worse offenders than those of othel
communities. For some reason, tt
the feminine mind in particular, com
modities selected abroad have Otter
a charm and an appeal quite irresist
IDLE. Wives of Moscow merchants
like those in other places, seem tt
take special pride in a suit or a hat
or a pair of shoes or a drapery or a
piece of furniture bought outside Of
town, either in person in Spokane
Seattle, or Portland, or by mail from
some eastern house.
All the goodwill in the world felt
by one Moscow merchant for another
will not keep legitimate business in
Moscow unless the women folk put
loyalty to home above the ambition to
possess articles displayed in outside
shops.
There may have been a time some
years ago when a woman desiring to
dress f~ashionably could not get in
Moscow the very latest styles. That
time has gone by. Dealers in women's
wearing apparel receive goods in Mos
COW almost every day In the week, and
the illustrated newspaper display adj
vertisements of swell shops in east
ern cities are proof positive that the
goods ordered and handled by Moscow
merchants are of the latest mode,
colors, and fabrics.
In matters that pertain to family
expenses other than wearing ap-
parel the same responsibility and the
same opportunity reside with the
women; the men nave little or nothing
to say. If vinegar is to be bought the
housewife may show citizenship by
ordering definitely the brand put up in
Moscow. This is true of cakes, bread,
lard, bacon, ham, salad dressing, and
other commodities.
1t is not often realized that the
women and not the men determine the
commercial prosperity of the com
munity. 1t is what the women buy
and where they buy it that counts in
the long run.
The moral of this tale is clear: bus
mess men must convert the women,
NEST deal with them, campaign for
home industry with them.

A PROGRAM

There is no time when a variety Of
useful enterprises may not profitably
be undertaken by clubs, societies, in
dividuals, communities. Experience
has demonstrated, however, that con-
centrating energy for a given period
upon II pursit will effect more perm
anent good than the dissipation OF
energy over multifarious schemes.
1t is safely within the limits of
conservative statement to say that
Moscow this year faces a crisis in its
commercial life. Conditions in other
towns and in the outlying country
have 50 shaped themselves as to
thrust upon Moscow a choice between
steady and strong growth and immed-
late deterioration as a trade center.
Moscow is today just at the point
where the city will either advance
rapidly or it will slide back to a
point from which it can never be res
cued.
This is not a jest. 1t is not hys-
eria. 1t is a straight. plain, easily
proved fact. The possibilities for the
future will be determined within the
next six months.
The situation may be stated in a sem
tence. If, within the next six months,
Moscow builds a net work of good
roads from every direction leading in
to Moscow, the prosperity of the flu
ture is assured. If Moscow evades
this duty, the city will commercially
be lost. N~eighboring towns have been
quicker to act than we, quicker to
realize where wretched country roads
are damaging a city's business, where
excellent country roads are increas-
ing a city's business.
No organization can adopt a better
program for the coming year than
good roads, but real good roads actual
ly built all around Moscow; prac-
teal good roads that will not cost a
fortune, that will utilize the excellent
road materials we have in abundance,
that will put energy on the roads at
the right time.
If, before the crops begin to move
in the fall, Moscow has no demon
strated its ability to handle this COM
mercial crisis in its affairs, the city
will be lost.
Plenty of money for good roads
should be available for a wide sweep
of territory from the automobile tax.
The money earned by Moscow auto
biles should be spent in and around
Moscow. If all the funds justifiably
available for roads around Moscow
were wisely spent in this region; II
all other legitimate NEAR and agen-
cies were enlisted Immediately in the
problem of intelligent road construc-
around Moscow; if this matter
were taken up now before every other
nearby town has captured our busl-
ness, then the future of Moscow as a
trade center would be greater tina
any one now dreams.
No program successfully carried
mt could perform a greater service to
he community than concentrated
work on the establishment within the
half year of exceptionally f1ne
oads for a hundred miles around. {

From TIE Tribune Ruresul
Washington, June 23.-How much the
railroads should be paid for carrying
the mails. on what basis it should be
determined and how frequently it
should be adjusted were put up TO the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
settlement by the Senate to-day. These
questions have been a sore point be-
tween Postmaster General Burleson
and Congress. on one hand, and the
railroads or the other hand, virtually
ever since the Wilson Administration
came into power.
Anxious to make an efficiency record,
Mr. Bur.eson has continually sought to
reduce the compensation paid the rail-
roads for carrying the mails. He has
desired 20 change the basis for pay
ment from weight, determined by
periodical weighings, 20 space. A spe-

ALLIES TO CONFER

ditiOns Submitted by
Gerard.

Washington, June 23.-The State De.
partment has been informed that the
Entente Allies soon will confer on the
question of permitting food supplies tc
enter Poland for the relief of destitute
civilians.
The Allied governments now have be-
fore them information obtained BY
American Ambassador Gerard, in Ber-
lin. as to the conditions for Polish
relief. which he believe. will be accept
able TO the German government. Ger
many insists, il is stated, that the Ger
man army in Poland must obtain It's
food from the occupied territory.
Great Britain some time ago agreed
to allow food to 60 to Poland under
restrictions which would prevent il
from falling into the possession OF the
German forces. II was made plain
however, that food could not be shipped
into the occupied portions OF Poland
if the German forces took possession
Of all food produced there.
London, June 23.-Lord Robert Cecil
British Minister OF War Trade. stated
to-day that Great Britain was ready
TO resume the negotiations, if basis
could be determined, by which it had
been attempted to obtain for the Bel
gian Relief Commission the opportu-
nifty TO extend relief to Poland.
"But." said Lord Robert, 81 consider
the German refusal an outrageous pro-
ceeding. The action is in accord with
