HIS RECOMMENDATIONS

A gentleman advertised for a boy
and nearly fifty came to see him.
Out of the whole number he chose
one and dismissed the rest.
81 should like to know" said a
friend, "why you picked out that
boy, who had not a recommen-
dation."
"You are mistaken" said the
gentleman; che had a great many.
He wiped his feet when he came
in and closed the door after him,
showing that he was careful.
''He gave his seat instantly to an
elderly person, showing that be was
thoughtful and kind. He took of
his cap, and answered my questions
promptly, showing that he was
gentlemanly.
"HIe picked up a book had
laid on the floor and re-
placed it on the table; and he wait
ed quietly for his turn instead of
and erowding, showing that
he was honorable and orderly,

The more competition you find
ID a town the cleaner and brighter
the stores win be, and the tastier
the displays, and the more attrac-
tive the price. These things
spell life, and life is always APP
pealing to the people.
It is competition that has de-
veloped and broadened our religions
institutions, and our railway sys-
TENS, and the thousand and one
enterprises that are making this
the greatest commercial nation Of
the globe. It is the outlet and
overflow Of unbounded energy and
ingenuity superinduccd solely by
necessity and competition.
To compete successfully with an
adversary merchant must know
his people, and anticipate their
desires, and meet them half way
in every step they take. The peo-
pie can be won, but they can not
be bought.
The most successful merchants
the world has ever produced are
consistent and persistent nsers Of
advertising space in their local pa
pers. They advertise because they
know the people demand il and in
sist upon having what they demand
The local merchant who uses the
advertising columns of his home
paper, keeps the goods the people
want, and makes his prices right,
need have no fear Of competition.
It will make him, as it has made
others before him.
But failure to advertise when
competition is in the field is the
best and most effective means Of
sending the buyer TO ..hhs ether ether
fellow.

ADDRESSES STUDENTS

President NJ. B. Adams, OF
Georgetown College, addressed the
students Of the High School last

Magic Of the Wind" which he
discussed in such clear, logical
terms that the close attention Of all
his hearers was held for almost an
hour and was thoroughly pleasing
to the student body.

we clip the following regarding the
death of a former Mt. Sterling
woman, and sister-in-law of DIR. A.
B. Stoops, Of this city, who is
spending the winter in Umatilla with
his wife:
"The death Of Mrs. Walter Stops,
of Umatilla, Fla, which occurred on
December %, came as shock to
all of the community. For some
time Mrs. Stops had not been feel
ing well, in fact since her return
from Virginia, in September. About
ten days before her death she was
confined to her bed and suffered
greatly. The end came very sud-
denly and even before many knew
she was ILL., The funeral service,
which was conducted by her pastor,
Rev. John A. Wood, was very Inn
pressive and showed the high es-
TEEN in which Mrs. Stops was held
by the people Of Umatilla. The SER
vice was conducted at Glendale
cemetery, where she was laid away.
Many We're the floral offerings
brought by friends and placed upon
the grave. Mrs. Stoops had lived
in Umatilla for many years and was
very active in the work OF { inc if..res-
byterian church, of which she was
a member. She was kind ne. gh-
Dor and friend, and those who knew
her viii miss her presence in our
midst. She leaves a husband, son
and daughter.

what 90 You Know aDout We
subject Of "Competition9v Is there
anything left for you to learnt Is
it true that Competition is the
life Of trade"7
Let us see.
A merchant in a certain town has
no competition. He has everything
his own way. He thinks he has
the people right where he wants
them and that they win have to go
to him or go without.
He runs along nicely for time
and then begins to get careless.
You notice that his floor needs
sweeping, the windows could stand
soap and water, dust collects on
the goods and the counters, and
cobwebs are seen in the corners.
Soon he thinks he ought to
make more money with less work
He pushes prices up cent or two
and his pocketbook gets fatter.
That looks good to him and he
shoyes the price up again.
He doesn't take the trouble TO
study his customers, their needs,
and the conditions that prevail, be-
cause he has no competition. His
store gets dingier and less invit-
ing, and it lacks that homelike APP
pearance of welcome when his GUS
toners call.
In time the customers begin to
get tired, for they feel that they
are being stung. Some turn to the
mail order man. while others go
miles out of their way to reach
another town. They want something
for their money.
Soon the merchant notices
shrinkage and wakes up. He makes
desperate efforts to entice his GUS
toners back to him. But it is use
less. They have had enough.
This merchants business has been
irreparably damaged by his indif-
ference, neglect and greed, caused
by the lack Of competition.
But there is another side to this
picture-one that is brighter and
is seldom turned to the wall.
Where competition exists there is
life, and energy, and brightness, and
where these things are the people
will go.
Competition brings to the sur
face and into use the best that is
in every man, where otherwise
these qualifications would often
lie dormant and without avail.
And these qualifications, when
brought into play, attract and
draw and hold the allegiance of
the people.
The public asks no more than
a fair return for its money, and
if there is not sufficient COMPETE
ton in the home town to insure
this then they will look elsewhere.
No man can expect 10 secure
and hold the trade Of any class Of
people just because he is himself.
He may look good to himself, but
if his goods are Of proper quality
and the price is right they will
discount his personality a hundred
per cent.
And competition forces every
man to keep the right kind Of
goods and make the right kind Of
prices, and it is mainly quality and
price that keeps the trade in the
home town.
