PRESIDENT AND WIFE
EAT PEANUTS AT CIRCUS

Washington, May 8.-Presldent
Wilson went to tho circus tonight.
Seated on the front row, tanning
himself and Mrs. Wilson with palm
leaf fan and sharing a bag of peanuts
with Secretary McAdoo, he apparent
" lost nothing of the holiday spirit
Of the accession. A group of clowns
carried out their funniest antics just
in front of him and the President
many times laid back in his chair
and laughed heartily.
When the party entered the big
tent the crowd of several thousand
rose and .cheered. AS he passed one
Of the rings the President took off
his hat and laughingly made a motion
as if to throw it in. The crowd
quickly caught the point and ap-
plauded again.
The President and his party stay
ed until the end of the show and
were alomst the last to leave. The
President smiled broadly when
"peace ship" manned by fighting
sailors and commanded by a clown
made up to represent former Secre-
tary Bryan, passed around the ring.

was some new legislation to effectu-
ally regulate the price-cutters. The
trusts and public-service corporations
have all been before the bar of public
opinion, and Congress and the state
legislatures have made rules for their
government. The persent attempt
on the part of Congress to permit the
manufacturer of nationally advertis-
ed merchandise to fix the resale price
is in the logical line Of progress, and
is intended to save the condition OF
the manufacturer, protect the news
papers and other periodicals with
their advertisers, and to relieve the
small merchant who has built up his
business in a narrow circle among the
people who deal with him because
they know him to be honest, against
that class of merchants and mail Or
der men who have been fim-famming
the public for many years.
Prosperity Hits the Navy.
Secretary Daniels has admitted to
a committee of Congress that he finds
it very difficult to get sufficient
number of recruits for the Navy. he
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1916-05-10

says that it would be simply marvel
Gus if the Navy could get as many
as 10000 new men in a year, and to
keep up the number Of men needed
to provide for the loss resulting from
$4,000, expirations of enlistment an
nually, requires a constant effort on
the part of the Department. A few
years ago the pay Of soldiers and
sailors in the service Of the United
States was ridiculously low, but even
with financial inducements such as
are offered by the Government, the
opportunity for more lucrative work
outside of the navy, is responsible
for men seeking private employment
Mr.. Daniels has had great deal of
experience in advertising and public
ity fields, by reason of the fact that
he is the owner Of a newspaper. He
recently asked Congress for $4,000
to provide for recruiting stations,
and attractive literature has been ar
ranged for display, that 1T is hoped
will induce men to become sailors and
marines on dreadnaughts and cruis-
erS.

THE BATTLE AGAINST
CUT.THROAT MERCHANTS
(By J. E. Jones.)

Washington, D. c., May 6.-Con-
gress has been keeping a very tight
rein on all matters of legislation, and
notwithstanding the excitement and
uneasiness growing out of the serious
condition of foreign affairs, the mem
bers of Congress have been taken
care of appropriation bills and rou-
tine work just as though there was
nothing unusual in the present situ-
alton. There continues to be a con-
sistent demand from all parts of the
country favoring early action at the
present session with reference to the
Stephens-Ashurst bill. This measure
has frequently been referred to IN
this correspondence as intended to
protect the merchants in the smaller
towns against the piratical methods
of Metropolitan merchandising that
have resulted so much to their injury.
The trading stamp, coupon, mall or
der, and cut rate department store
establishments have come out IN the
open and are no longer hiding their
identity in attempting to defeat the
efforts to "clean house" at their eX-
pense. All of the biggest well-known
manufacturers and national adver-
tisers, an dalmost every country
store keeper in America is demanding
federal supervision, such as the IN
vestigations of the Federal Trade
Commission show to be required IN
the interests of honest dealers. The
Bureau of Corporations together with
the Department of Commerce reach
ed the same conclusions. A majority
of the Members of Congress have
committed themselves in favor of
this legislation. However there is
always "too much politics" in Wash
ington during a presidential campaign
wears. Particularly for this reason
the letters pouring in on the Con-
eresssman, demanding legislation,
are having their stimulating effect
and there ought to be more such let
ters.
How Long Should This Continue?
Under the theory that might makes
right, and a misapplication of the
doctrine of the Survival of the fit
test' the system of merchandising
in America has been completely re-
volutionized within the past quarter
century. The metropolitan stores
that have sought to maintain the high
standards in the quality of merchan-
disc, have been forced to compete
with ever-increasing unscrupulous
methods on the part of storse that
"catch the public" by means of "bar,,
gain sales," and by an occasional
cut-rates on standard articles intend
ed to keep the crowd moving along
their isles. By these methods unprln-
cipled dealers grab off sales and pro-
fits that would not We possible were
there any laws in the way of super
vising dishonest merchandising. The
country merchant is the worst suf-
ferer of al, and the ever-increasing

ROCKY FORD MELONS.

Muskmelons of the Rocky Ford
type, grown in localities other than
Rocky Ford, Colo, may be labeled
"Rocky Ford" provided the name of
the State or territory where the mel
ons are produced is stated on the
principal label, according to a recent
decision of the Bureau Of Chemistry.
This decision was reached for the
reason that the term "Rocky Eord",
as applied to muskmelons, has come
to mean a particular type of musk
melon grown in various localities of
the United States.

Joint effort to keep the peace, backed
by a common police force, was ex-
pressed by President Wilson today IN

American union against his prepared

they had found a fear of militarism
in the country west OF the Alleghan-

helpless nation would be negligible in
a conference to establish the founda-
tions for peace. He said there was
difference between preparedness
and militarism, that the country was
in no danger of the latter, and, In re-
sponse to a question, declared that
compulsory military training was not
contrary to Aemrican tradition.
He added that the existing United
States army was not large enough to
safeguard the Mexican border; and
that it had been found necessary to
prepare the navy to deal with tre-
mendously increased tasks quite IN
dependent of war. ,,.
The committee was headed by Miss

increase. The year opened with
100000 more cattle than 1915. and

increase being 4 per cent, says New
York Post. In part this may be re-
garded as a natural recovery from an
abnormal falling of, for we have even
yet not regained the ground lost since
1910. In part, 1t is doubtless trace
able to the high price Of meats, for
Notwithstanding the great numbers. the
value of q herd has varied from Z to
10 per cent more than before the Eu.
ropean war. Something is due to the
growing efforts Of farmers as coop
Grafton in distributing and marketing
their livestock products. and the en-
larged numbers of local abattoirs, in
many cases municipality owned. The
concentration of marketing and
slaughtering in half dozen great CEN
tiers Of the Middle West was not favor

than a carload of cattle yearly. The
increase is not yet proportional to the
growth of population. and the gov
