The Importance, the vital necessity

THE PROBLEMS OF
RETAIL TRADE

If the merchants can attain uni
ty like that described in our last ar
ticle. a town can always make
large expansion. No matter. now
strenuously the merchants may com
pete with each other, the total nome
trade of the town is limited by lts
population. A business can only
get about so far before 1t runs up
against the blank wall created by the
limitations of the towns size.
But the opportunity is always open
to attract trade from the surround
ing country. The free use OF auto
mobiles increases this chance ama5'
ingly. There are many people with
motor cars who are making 1t reg
ular practice to trade in towns 20 TO
so miles distant, sometimes even
more. They are roaming around
the country al the time that the
roads are good. The women look IN
the store windows quite as eagerly
as at the scenery. The men have an
eve for what looks like good busi
ness enterprise too. And there Is
a constant stream of people VINO are
travelling over the railroads in the
search OF good bargains.
1t takes both individual advertis
ing and community cooperation &c

idea of Merchants weeks, trade bar
gain days, etc, is spreading all oVe'
the country. An announcement tina

miles around. If the visitors arr
pleased they will come again.
These enterprises are successiu
only when the merchants general!
agree to give special bargain valueS
II is hard for a few of the merchant
TO get the current started. EVER
one needs to take ho'd, IL the thini
Ia to be made a success.
There are too many merchant
who are unwilling to help in suc'
efforts unless they can see prom
coming right off. Successful expan
sion OF trade Is not built up in tina
way. 1t Is slow growth, and few
new enterprises Or trade current
nay the first year. The merchant
must take hold with an idea OF pui'o
ing for the future, forgetting all tn
grouches and soreness caused b
competition. II this spirit prevails
our town will grow, and the peopl
will flock to 1t for many mile
around.

RECLAIMING LAND BY
DRY FARMING

When dry farming on scientihI
lines was first brought to the atten
ton OF the country, the Gains made
for the new method of cultivatins
the soil were accepted as exaggerat
ed and dry farming was looked on as
Il hazard not to be taken by the pres
ldent. The people of Utah though
have had better opinion of dry
farming than a majority of the in
habitants of western states, because
many of the most successful dry
farmers are to be found in this re
gion.
There are specialists who predict
that six million acres of land adapt

]. w. PaXman Of Nephi, who is q
member of the faculty of the Agricul
tural college, makes this statement
People are not fully acquainted
with modern methods necessary to
insure their success, and also that
their lack of confidence retards the
taking up of land. Wheat and grain
crops can be more than doubled
when the soil is cultivated in such
manner that 1t will hold the mois
ture for two seasons instead Of fol-
a few months. Farmers who own
irrigated farms in time will be able
to utilize the high ground, which
cannot be irrigated, for wheat and
other grains and use the most valu
able land for beets, potatoes and
vegetables. Land which has pro
duced less than twenty bushels o.
wheat to the acre has been made t.
produce nearly double that amoun
by deep blowing which is one Of thu
most important factors Of the mod
ern system"
The secret Of success in dry farm
ing is in breaking up the surface 81

Bartender's Assaiant Engages in a
Duel With Policeman, But Drops
When Hit

Ogden, Feb. 23.--Less than one
minute after Louis Martini, tran
silent Italian had shot and perhaps
fatally wounded James Bartolomeo,
bartender, and fellow countryman
this afternoon, the gunman was shot
twice by Patrolman William Brown.
Drs. r. s. Joyce and Joseph r.
Morrell who examined Bartolomeo,
said Martins bullet had fractured

There is partial paralysis OF the low.

the shock to the nervous system may
prove fatal.
Martins wounds are not serious

Bartolomeo came from behind the
bar, seized Martini and with the as
sistance Of John Tosi a bartender

When Martini reached the side
