BUSY TIMES FOR J. R. JORDAN

Increase In Tax Levy Keeps. Count,
Collector ut the Telephone.
This is the busiest time, of the yeal
in the county collectors Office. accord
ing to ]. R. Jordan, county collector
Mr.. Jordan said this morning that &c
many calls have been coming in re-
garding taxes he has been kept busy
answering the telephone.
The reason for this, he said. is that
there has been a 30-cent increase on
the 500 in the state and county tax
over last year. This year the total
levy on city, state and county taxes is
,s3.43 a 800 valuation, as compared
with the same levy of $3.13 last year.
This is due to the additional levy of
rs cents for the special road and
bridge fund made by the county court,
and an added five cents for school
purposes to care for the interest which
has accrued on school bonds voted
last spring.
This last applies only to persons
living within the boundaries of the Co.
lumbia school district, said Mr.. Jor-
dan.

SHOPPERS AVOIDING THE RUSH
Sales Begin, to Show Increase From
Holiday Trade, Says Merchants. :

Sales Begin to show Increase From
Holiday Trade, Says Merchants. :
The indications are that Columbia
shoppers will do their Christmas buy
ing earlier this year than usual. In
nearly all lines of business, sales have
increased. The advertising manager
of one store said the people seemed
to be educated to the advantages OF
buying their Christmas goods early.
The stores are decorated early this
year, and this has drawn customers
sooner than usual.
The greatest increase in any busi-
ness line has been in dry goods. Ev-
cry afternoon the stores are throng-
ed with customers. Only a slight in
crease has been felt in the men and
women's ready-to-wear stores so far.
The two weeks before Christmas will,
of course. be the time of the heav-
lest business.

The fact that there haa been no ma

situation in Columbia since the last
cold spell was indicated today in in
teryiews with the coal dealers Of the
city.
The University Is well supplied at
the present time, however, and only
in case of unusually severe weather
or a prolonged car shortage would
there be any danger of interrupting
class work before the Christmas holi-
days. I'VE have several cars on the
road, and have heard of no danger
of a shortage as yet" said Edward e.
Brown, business manager Of the UNI
versity, this afternoon.
Whittle & Hockaday say they are
receiving shipments no more prompt
ly than a month ago. and in case Of
cold weather, they predict, there would
be considerable suffering.
According to F. A. Dalton of the
Dalton Coal Company, shipments are
delayed as much as, IL not more than,
they were three weeks ago. H. R.

st. Louis and which had been on the
way since November "a. II have five
cars on the way" said M. Jackson.

Short.Course Men Are Building Nina

The short-course students in the

to build a modern farm shop. Little
buildings, one-sixth of the regular
scale and complete in every detail
are being built by the class. One OF
these models will be selected and ex-
hibited at the state fair next year.
"The farm shop is a great asset to
the modern farmer" says N. c. Muir

ever some little thing breaks, the
farmer can do his blacksmithing in
his own shop"

Keeping Trade at Home
From System Magazine

From System Magazine
An ever-present problem with many mer-
chants is mail order competition. The meth
ods used by the Elder Mercantile Company
OF Ottawa, Kansas, to keep trade at home, are
interesting, and probably similar tactics could
be used to advantage by many other mer-
chants.
On some of its literature this company
uses the following paragraph, which clearly
illustrates its attitude:
we do not ask your business simply
because q0e happen to pay taxes here,
help support the schools, churches,
and so on, but because 4Ce can and
ac'H SAGE you money"
T. p. Elder, 1Jr., in letter to System, Dor
tlons OF which follow, tells how the policy has
been carried out:
I'VE have made rule in all of our advertising to
impress the minds order customers the fact
that they need not be they patronze mail order
houses 1t is persons right to buy merchandise
where he wants owe do and should every one else
We point however believe every man who buys
from mail order house does thinks he can
save money is problem to convince him that he
can buy the merchandise of us at the same price
and In many instances prce-than of caaloeue
houses
TO do this in the most effective manner we find
tnat regular catalogue is hepfu-a catalogue which we
make up along the lines of the big catalogue
houses Naturally catalogue smaller than theirs In
we illustrate the lines that in most demand and We
are careful to have compare avoraby with those
onered by our out-oftown competitors
In our advertising besides making II plain that we ara
after trade on business instead Of solely on the
worn-out hep-your home merchant idea we apree.
I'D TO sell the better goods than anv cat
aogue mousse with the service quality and nr that
catalogue house offers;
w 10 pay half the freight charges on any order which
we send TO any town within twenty-five miles,
sometimes we have made the offer to accent or
ders from any catalogue still nay half the freight as
ore such propositions. find are great trade stimu-
a'ors ana we even make little money on each shipment
Just now we are getting ready series of personal let
@ 'na1 Will make an appeal to a wide range of buyers
wi" manner home the fact that they can buy as cheap-
~ from us as from q mail order house
we nnd that getting the catalogue buyer into our store
'onpare prices Is our hardest problem We firmly be-
ne'e tnat ridiculing catalogue buyer only makes him
more determined than to send bis trade where he
ses our plan has been highly successful for u.s. and
are convinced that the only sure way to meet
.'' 'onpe'uon Is to use catalogue house methods"
