THE PROBLEMS OF
RETAIL TRADE

Reference was made In the previ.
Gus editorial In this series to the
problems a merchant has to meet in
the matter of returned goods. II Is
of course a two sided question, with
two points of view to be looked at.
A woman may go into a store and
make a purchase that showed poor
Judgment and which she regrets as
soon as she gets home. 1t is not al
ways easy to make a decision on the
spur OF the moment, and with a great
many people hindsight is better than
foresight.
II under such circumstances a GUS
toner is permitted to return the
goods, assuming that they are not In
jured in any way, and can be put
right back into stock great service
is done by the merchant. He has CO.
mented his friendship with a custom.
err, and saved her from making a mis-
take she would many times regret.
He has made the strongest bid for
her future patronage.
There are great many cases, how
ever, very different from this. and
very exasperating to the store peo-
pie. Many persons will buy a pair
of gloves, jab down between the
fingers to put them on, which splits
the glove. Then they demand anoth-
er pair. A great many merchants
will give them the second pair which
will split just the same If misused
in the same way.
Merchants say that there are peo-
pie who will order hats Or gowns to
wear to some party. Having used
them, they will send them back.
There are cases where 1t would seem
as If they ordered the goods merely
TO wear to some occasion. with no
intention OF buying the goods. They
bring them back little soiled, so
that the article has to be closed out
at reduction.
Retail trade papers and associa.
lions are discussing the matter Of
returned goods good deal this win
ter, and many OF them feel that the
merchants should unite to prevent
themselves from being imposed upon.
It is a difficult matter to distinguish
between reasonable and unreasonable
requests. The public should not ex-
pect too much. Where goods that
are not defective are returned be-
cause the customer made an error of |
Judgment in buying Or using them.
and where such return involves the
merchant in loss, the public should |
realize that such returns are charge |
on the business. The public in the /
end will have to pay for them as
part OF overhead expense.

THE BOOKWORM
HABIT

One of tho prominent ideas of mod.
ern school life is to interest the pu.
pills in good books and help them to
acquire the reading habit. The dog
cared Old reading books of former
years, with their hifalutin select Us
of poetry, philosophy and oratory,
have disappeared. In many schools
the reading books consist of high
classics that young folks should en-
Joy.
With the majority OF children this
creates a familiarity with the print.
ed page that otherwise they may not
acquire. But there Is always Il GER
tain proportion OF children who need
no Indictment to books You take
them visiting, and instead of Joining
in other chldren's plays, they burrow
In book shelves. They waste their
eyesight in poor light, and their
cheeks fade in the indoor life.
Such children live in dream
world. They walk, talk, and think
in the book atmosphere. Their he
roes are creatures of fiction. They
are so busy seeing what other and
imaginary characters have done, that
they have no power left to start
things of their own. Turn such chill
dren out doors for some fresh air,
and they dawde around and soon
come in aud ask their mothers what
they shall do.
This Is not meant as an argument
against the cultivation of the reading
habit in schools. For every one book
worm, there are half dozen to whom
any book seems like a school task.
formidable and repelling. They need
all possible encouragement to find
the pleasures and inspirations of
Bookland.
The little bookworm is a separate
problem. Teachers should see to It
that they join with their comrades
in the sports around the school
grounds. Such children should be
given baseballs and footballs for
Christmas instead Of books. Every
time they can be forced out into ac-
tive play with other children, their
power for action in the world has
been assisted.

FAR N ERS'

The attentive reader OF country
newspapers must have been impress

being deluged. There are government
bulletins. state bulletins, experiment

nent in all this educational campaign
are the farmers institutes and agri.
cultural lectures which are being de-
livered in every neighborhood.
The farmer Is getting so much In

Who Early Evince Musical
Talent

Salt Lake, Feb. Utah artists
and musicians are cited by DR.. Alma
Webster Powell as examples of what
could be accomplished in the United
States toward the development Of
latent talents II the government and
the states would undertake the free
education OF those who are musical
ly inclined. She called attention to
the vocalists, instrumentalists and
composers who have been given their
start in Utah. She asserts that the
Utah people are more composed and
less liable to sudden passion than
the majority of the people of the
United States who live In cities, be-
cause the Utahns take a greater in
terest in music than any other group
in the population Of the country.
She points to the successes achiev.
ed by Miss Emma Lucy Gates and
other Utah musicians and asserts the
state should take up the subject OF
giving free instruction to those who
are unsteady inclined.

BY Mamie Thomas, Eighth Grade
Central School, Provo. Awarded
Fourth Prize In the Essay Contest

Spanish trappers tramped the DIS
ert waste OF the Bonneville basin and
decided that It was not even good
hunting ground. Later came Colon
Ell Rridger, Indian scout and guide,
who passed 1t by as a desert waste
unfit for human habitation. Later
still came the pioneers and even they
did not see the source of hidden
wealth that lay beneath the sunbaked
soil, but saw only a place of refuge
where they might rest from their toll
some journey. Today, after sixty
eight years OF preparatory work, we
as a state are only at the beginning
in the development of our resources.
Watered by the mountain streams
our fertile valleys now yield annual
ly 14,5OO,OOO bushels of cereals, D.
600 900 bushels of potatoes, $4,000
barrels of apples, besides millions of
dollars worth of miscellaneous pro-
ducts. As yet only three per cent
of the area of the state has been
brought under cultivation. It is esti-
mated that there are yet 23,000,O0O
acres OF land in Utah that will some
day be made to yield profitable crops
which will provide homes for TWEEN
ty times the present population.
On the mountains sheep and cattle
craze and unproductive lands are
bringing wealth to the state amount
ing to $43,OOO,OO0 annually.
In lS47 the early settlers went to
California to seek their fortunes in
gold fields along the Sacramento riv-
er. little knowing that at home there
was untold wealth hidden in the
ranges.
Today, Utah stands third in the
production of silver, third in lead,
fourth in gold, fifth in copper, and
sixth in zinc. The value of minerals
produced annually reaches the enor-
nous sum of $4,000, 900.
At Bingham are located the chief
copper mines OF the state, where
huge steam shovels are transferring
a mountain Of copper bearing ore in
to wealth for our state. At Eureka
and Tintic the precious metals-gold
silver, copper, and zinc, are mined
and refined at large reduction plants
in this vicinity. Recently a body OF
potash has been located in Marysvale
The first to be found in the United
States.
Valuable supplies OF coal are found
in various parts OF the state. 1t has
been frequently asserted by mining
engineers that we can furnish enough
coal to supply the entire western
portion OF the United States for an
indefinite period.
OF growing importance as wealth
producing factors, are the manufac-
.uring establishments among which
ire the sugar factories, seven in
number turning out over S0,S4S,OOO
pounds of sugar annually. This Gre
,tes an enormous payroll, which is

Salt refineries are turning out
enough salt to supply the world for

Nearly onehalf million dollars is
sent out OF the state for cereal foods,
