"A STORE OF ALL
The PEOPLE"
BY LAWRENCE NJ. JONES.

Years ago a man from New York
after being shown around the seventy
or more departments which, grouped
together, comprise The jones Store
%Company's big establishment in Kan
sas City, said, This certainly is a
store of all the people"
Eyes" we answered, the founda-
tion on which this store is built was
designed many years ago on the from
tier plains of Kansas where all people
were equal-where there was no class
distinction"
Twenty-Five years ago when this
business first opened its doors in Kan
sas City, Mo, the fundamental prin-
ciple was retained-to build a Store
of All the People" For all the COM
ing years this one thought has influ-
enced every move of this great Jones
Store.
In buying, in selling, in extending
conyeniences and comforts TO the pub
lie the uppermost thought Of the
Jones store in Kansas City has been
to be of service TO all the people Of
the Southwest--the poor and rich
the |unschooled and educated alike. and
so it is today that the poor widow is
served as %courteously and cheerfully
as the jewel-bedecked society woman,
and the child is waited upon as care
fully as the wisest of buyers.
In buying for the Jones Store the
constant aim of our army Of buyers is
to so purchase our merchandise that
we can, because of our unlimited buy
ing power, give our customers a little
more for their money.
On Monday, October Is, The Jones
Store Company is going to celebrate
its Twenty-second Anniversary Sale.
1t will be a history making occasion
in the business life of this leader
among stores Of the Southwest. It
will be a time when every member Of
the Jones Store organization will
strive to show the people Of the South
west a more liberal distribution of the
new and good merchandise at prices
worthy Of such an event.
Next week this newspaper, as well
as the mails, will carry a detailed an
nouncement Of the merchandise On
sale. The announcement and prices
will show you the Jones Stores full
appreciation of the part the people Of
the Southwest have played in bringing
the Jones Store to its present success
full 22d Anniversary
In all personal contact with the pub
lie, through the sales force. floor men,
managers, buyers and errand boys.
the Jones Stores endeayor is to ex'
tend a cheerful service. 1t has been
found that the only way to give this
kind of service to customers is for the
management to give it to its own
employees.
One of the greatest laws OF life is
that we get what we give. The Jones
Store BIAS the loyalty Of all the people
in Kansas City and out because it Is
loyal to all the people, loyal to the
fulfillment OF the jones promise to be
OF service TO all.
The people OF this community are
Invited to watch for the Jones Twenty
second Anniversary Sale Announce
ment in this paper next week. They
are invited to attend the sale in Kan.

JURY EXEMPTIONS
SOON TO PASS OUT.
NO MORE AFTER JAN. / BECAUSE
THE NATIONAL GUARD NO
LONGER EXISTS.

Members of Brunswick business
houses, bankers and others, who have
been able to escape jury service by
buying exemptions from the national
guard military companies, will have
to serve as talismen after January L,
1918, because of the passing of the
national guard.
Through an order effective August
5, the national guard went out of eX-
istenCe and became a part of the reg
ular army. This, of course, meant the
death Of exemptions from jury serV.
ice through the purchase of these
privileges from the national guard
units.
BY a special act of the legislature
several years ago each company OF
the national guard was allowed to
sell twenty jury exemptions at $50
each Later the act was amended so
that each company could sell thirty
exemptions at $25 each
In this manner money was obtain
ed for the maintenance of the mill
tary companies. The state and coun,
ty declined to appropriate anything
to the organizations, but the state
permitted them to raise the money
through the sale of the jury eXemp
tiOns
In Glynn county about twenty OF
these exemptions were sold on Jan
uary 1. They VIII be good until Jan
uary /, 1918, and after that time nc
more can be purchased.
County officers here declare that
in reality the act was not legal, but
was sanctioned because of the failure
of the state and county to assist the
guardsmen and the necessity of the
military companies securing money
for their maintenance.

GREAT WHEAT CROP
FOR GEORGIA URGED
FARMERS ARE CALLED UPON TO
PLANT A MILLION ACRES
THIS YEAR.

Farmers of Georgia are urged upon
by the state food council to plant
100000 acres of wheat, from which
a yield of ten bushels to the acre is
expected bringing the home supply
for Georgia to 10,000,000 bushels.
This will meet the demands of the
state without importation from an
ether state in the union of a bushel
Of that grain.
The state food council met in At
lanta a day or two ago to discuss
communications from the federal de
partment bearing on the necessity for
an increased grain crop, to canvass
the result OF the work already done
by the council, and to make plans for
the further conduct of that work.
The attendance was a very fun
one, and reports made from practi
cally every section in the state show
that the effect of the state meeting
some months ago and the propaganda
continued since that time is still
alive. The food and feed production
in the state, these reports showed
have increased between 80 and 33 per
cent over previous years.
Plans were made for drying sweet
potatoes and for further cooperation
with the local communities where
organizations have been perfected
for self-help in the preparation Of
crops for marketing. Quite a number
OF those community organizations,
through the meeting, pledged their
cooperation with the market bureau.
The division of wheat acreage was
figured out on an average of two
acres to the plow In some counties
in the state the land is not adapted
to the cultivation of wheat, but in
others more than two acres will be
! planted, which will bring the state
. as whole to approximately two
| acres to every plOw operated. giving
| the state as a whole the desired TO-
100000 bushels yields from the next
! crop. That yield, the council holds.
! will amply meet the demands of the
| state and make Georgia independent
of the wheat crop of any other part
! of the country.

HAGUE AND BERNE
VIE FOR PEACE MEET
Both Cities Anxious to Be Host
to Congress Which Eventu-
ally Must Assemble.
HOLLAND SEEKS A VOICE

(correspondence Of The Associates Press)
The Hague, Netherlands, April "a
Where will the eventual peace con-
gress be held, at Berne or The Hague!
The question has recently formed
the subject of public discussion IN
the Netherlands, where it is natur-
ally hoped that the latter city VIII
be fixed on for that purpose. That
the choice will lie between these two
there is considered here little reason
to doubt. Either city would form
a convenient center so far as its sit
uation is concerned, but the presence
of the Peace Palace in Hollands dip
lomatic capital, and The Hague's gen.
eral reputation as the scene of the
peace conference, give it, it is claimed,
an advantage over its assumed rival.
Holland has a great interest i'll the
choice falling on The Hague, for that
is about the only chance of her. Sc
curing voice in the weighty confer
ences that will fix Europe's destinies.
As questions will inevitably arise at
the peace congress vitality affecting
the nation which holds the mouths
of three northern Europe's great wa
terways-the Rhine, the Meuse and
the Scheldt-the sitting of such con-
gress at The Hague might prove OF
the greatest importance to Holland,
quite apart from~the welcome inter
national pestige which necessarily
would accrue to the state within
whose borders it is held.

New Loan for Holland
ForeCasted by Minister

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
The Hague, Netherlands, April so.
A new loan of $200,000,000 is FORE
shadowed by the minister of finance,
Marie Willem Frederik Treub, half OF
which is to be used for the conversion
OF the first war loan of 1914, which
amounted to $ll0,000,000 Bondhold-
ers OF the latter issue participating in
the new loan will receive bonus.
Such a conversion operation, which
cannot actually take place before jan
uary ] next, will mean a substantial
economy in interest, in consequence
of the easier money market now OBJ
tanning. The first war loan bore 5 per
cent interest, and the last 4 per cent.
The minister proposes to reserve
the revenue Of new taxes for pros
pcctive social legislation and to find
the means for loan redemption by
making life and fire insurance state
monopoly. He is opposed to tobacco
or alcohol monopoly.

BREAD CARDS NOW
USED.IN HOLLAND
U.Boat Warfare Cuts Off Sup
plies and Government Adopts
Strict System.
PoTAToLESs DAYS, TOO

(Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
The Hague, Netherlands, May s.
Nearly all Holland has been put on
system OF government rations because
OF the virtual stopping OF grain im-
ports from America as result OF the
ruthless submarine warfare and the
poor crops of potatoes and other vege-
tables. The entente allies had long
since put in use system OF ration
ing the Hollanders in the matter of
grain imports, but now the halt in the
movement of all shipping-has caused
virtual cessation Of all imports.
A bread card system had been in ef-
feet since February. Under the new
plan potato and rye flour is mixed
with American flour, effecting an
economy ofmore than 50 per cent i'll
the consumption Of wheat Owing to
shortage of the stocks OF potatoes
the allowance has been reduced and
potatoless days have been established.
The monthly ration of peas and beans
to each person amounts to little
more than one pound.
Everything is Controlled.
The other prime necessities of life
that are under direct government con-
troll are being distributed to each
community according to the number
Of its inhabitants, the local authorities
then dividing the supplies among the
individuals.
Holland is beginning to follow the
example of Germany in establishing
central kitchens. The principal one
thus far put in operation is at Rot
terdam. 1t provides about a quart
of warm food for sum equal to four
American cents. When prepared the
food is rapidly transported to seven
teen parts of the city, where distri-
button is made.
Food and hunger demonstrations
occur occasionally. In these social
lists are active in bringing the needs
Of the people to the attention of the
government officials.
