| The responsible high grade manu-
! facturer and wholesaler will not under
! any condition or circumstance sell
their goods To the catalogue retailer
at any price Many instances are
known where catalogue houses secured
by trickery Il quantity Of staple goods
Of standard make and advertised them
as specials at ridculously low prices.
The manufacturers in order to protect
their regulations and interests neces-
sarily had orders sent in for the en-
tire stock or quantity Of the articles
through persons in their employ They
did not propose to have their articles,

A Vast Difference.
There are numberess articles which
the catalogue house ndvertises as the
best on the market. among which are
paints. and it often agrees to fur
nish an impossible guarantee with
this class Of goods However, it is
very noticeable that it nevers at
tempts to ship its paints into states
that require printed copy OF the
analysis Of the contents Of the pack
age
The answer to this Of course, il
that the goods are not as represented
in the catalogue. The up to date 10
cal merchant. of course, is conyersant
with these facts and can explain them
to his customers If given an opportu-
nifty, ana he can also. if he understands
his business thoroughly, explain the
vast difference between the goods sold
by the catalogue house and those sold
by him.
Articles Challenge Explanations.
never stand alongside Of the honest.
reliable article without challenging ar
explanation.
The business man who cannot meet
this demand upon him is not up to
date, and his education regarding the
line of goods he carries should be
touched up.
If the home town consumers are
alive and awake to their own interest
they can begin to educate the local
merchants by demanding from them
the information concerning the differ
ence in the quality of their goods and
the goods Of the catalogue retailer. II
they are unable to explain they will
also be unable to render efficient serv.

Can Successfully Cope.
1t is doubtful if there be local re-
taller in the country who could not
successfully cope with the mail order
and catalogue retailer would he but
try. This the local merchant may not
know, but nevertheless it is an abso-
lutte fact
There is a retail firm in a town in
Wisconsin which conspicuously displays
upon its counters one of the cata-
lOgues of the largest Chicago mail or
der houses, upon the cover of which is
pasted II notice that it will furnish
any article advertised in the catalogue
as cheaply rs the buyer can secure the
articles from Chicago. and il lives up
to the advertisement attached to the
very letter
Mail Order House Secondc.
The substantial local merchant knows
well that the cheap stoves sold by the
catalogue mail order houses are light
weight stoves; that the iron beds
shown in the advertisement matter rs
massive frames with strong corner
posts and heavy crossbars are light
frail castings, commonly known to the
trade as seconds" which no honest
or reliable furniture dealer would keep
in his stock because he could not sell
them to people who were given in OPP
portunity to inspect the goods before
purchasing
1t Is only ON very rare occasions that
patrons Of a mail order house ever get
the worth Of their money when they
buy from the pictures in the cata-
logue, while on the other hand. the
local retailer, If he understands his
business. buys his stock direct from
the manufacturers and iobbers who
supply goods Of quality to their direct
representatives. the retail merchants
throughout the country.

take from you.
"And look beyond the shadow of the
cross, here shines afar off a day in
which men shall have outgrown the
conditions of war; when they shall
realize the universal brotherhood of
man, and no nation will ever dishonor
itself by seeking the downfall of an
other; when the crown shall be torn

before that day can come
"And beyond all that shines the
light that proceeds from the throne of
God. In that light all wrongs shall be
made right, suffering shall come to
a happy end. Every sacrifice that has
been made ON earth will then be seen
to blend with the supreme sacrifice of

OF the cross I'm the faces of many

France sit needs no prophet now, "
observes this paper Of the Episcopal
Church, "to tell the mothers that q
sword shall pierce their souls also
Trying to find comfort and direction
FOR these stricken ones, this writer
does not hesitate first to remind them
OF the sorrows of their heritage:
Motherhood has always given sym
pathy and insight into the word spok-
en- in humility and confidence by the
Blessed Virgin when the promise of
virgin motherhood was given to her:
Behold the handmade of the Lord, be-
it unto me according to thy word
All motherhood has the sign of the
cross laid upon it from it's very incep-
ton; and when the mother brings her
newborn child to the temple for bap-
tism the prophetic word Of the aged
Simeon may pretty generally be spok-
en- to her as it was to the mother of
our Lord: Yea, a sword shall pierce
through thy own soul also AS the
child passes through the various
stages into manhood and takes his
place in the world, there are many
forms Of that sword which may pierce
the mothers soul The unQueness of
the Virgin Mothers place was not in
the vision Of suffering which was pre-
scented to her. All mothers have that
vision. She brought into the world a
life which would bring to her a faith
omless love, but which would also
bring her 20 the foot of the cross.

part of the sacredness of motherhood
that only mothers can appreciate what
Ia means. Today mothers Throughout,
the world are gathering at the foot
of thousands upon thousands of cross
.as-a separate cross for each mother.

The mother heart of America is

cation
"A great wonder is being shown tc
her BY anxiety and suffering she
must be led to a cross that will be "a
real factor in the worlds redemption
. AIT the crosses of these awful days are
sDIiuters from the true cross. All the
anguish that the mother i'm these days
feels at the thought of what must
come is the touch Of that same sword
that pierced the soul of the Virgin
Mother And the answer that the
mother must make to the angel of her
annunciatiou is that which Mary
made: Behold the handmade of the
Lord; be it unto me according TO thy

"For the Marys of the world are
highly favored and the Lord is with
them. Blessed, indeed, are they
among women. But the favor of the
Lord is exprest i'm the call to suffer

Look mp, then, mothers of to-day
The call to give your son is the call to
the greatest honor that God can be-
stow upon you. Your mother love is
sanctifed i'm the suffering that is
yours. You are living for eternity.
The anguish out Of which a son was
given to YOU can never be fruitless
for it is a part of the great sacrif-
cial Offering that is accepted by the
Father for the redemption of the
world. Your son is a factor i'm that re-

down from the cross and called him to
mount the cross with him and to share

DANIELS APPEALS
TO THE YOUNG MEN
Navy, First Line of Defense,
Must Be Brought to It's
Best Condition.
EMERGENCY is NOW HERE

Secretary of Navy Josephus Daniels
last night sent out to the editors of
newspapers throughout the country a
telegram, asking for assistance in
making effective the order issued by
the president, that the navy be
brought up to its full war strength of
$1,000 men at once. This amounts to
call for volunteers, although it is
for the sea service and not the land.
A state of war practically exists.
and the navy is the first line of de-
Tense for the United States. That is
why stress is being laid on the ur-
gency for greater recruiting for the
service at this time.
The secretary's dispatch to The
Bee reads:
THE president last night signed an
executive order, directing that the au-
thorized enlisted strength of the navy
be increased to $1,000 men. He was
authorized by congress, in case of
emergency, to direct such increase in
enlistment. New ships and ships in
reserve are being fully commissioned
as rapidly as possible, and the need is
imperative for larger enlistment to
man them. There has been a net in
crease of over $500 in enlistment since
congress recently authorized an in
crease, but many more are needed
now.
The navy offers exceptional advan-
tages to young men of stuff and ambi-
ton to serve in the first line for ma
tional defense.
