State Of War vs.. Actual War

From a practical standpoint there is
no difference between a Estate of war"
and actual warfare; yet technically,
the Lordsburg citizen learns from au-
thoritative sources on international law
the difference is marked.
In a declaration that a state of war
exists the way is left open for peace
with much less formality than if an out
and out declaration Of war is made.
In the present state of war" for
instance, it will end as soon as Germany
d%iscontinues sinking u ships: in other
other words, as soon as she d%iscontinues
the barred zone. In case of an actual
declaration Of war this would not be the
case.
But SO long as Germany sinks our
ships, and we try to sink those of Ger
many there is no practical difference.

A BUSINESS IN A SMALL TOWN

The story of how a dry goods
merchant won success in a small
town near a large city, printed in the
New York Times recently, has been
commented upon favorably by Amer
lean trade journals as serving to show
that the plight of the local merchant
is by no means helpless.
AS the Liberal has from time to
time indicated, success or failure de-
ponds upon the local merchant him
self. If ne shows signs of life, the
neople will take 1otice and reward
him with success; if he's a dead one,
the people will see the funeral afar
o"
Here's how this merchant near New
York City worked it:
Two weeks before he opened his
store he ran an unusual series Of ads
in the local papers. He announced
that he was not going to ask people
to ~patrOnize him merely because they
were his neighbors, but because he
intended 10 make it good business to
%patronize him.
He said he would make it unneces-
sary for anyone to go 10 New York
for goods, nor to do mail-order trad
ing. He guaranteed he would keep q
stock, though small, would be as good
in quality and style as those in the
great cities, and anything he didn't
have in stock he would get quickly
He would save his fellow-citizens
time, energy, car fare, postage and
inconvenience.
One Of his ads stated he could really
give better satisfaction than the
large city stores. He was near at
hand, the ad said, and it was easy to
run in. If goods didn't suit it was
easy TO return them. There would be
20 trouble in exchanging goods,
either. In the big city it was hard
to obtain credit, while he himself
would always extend reasonable
credit. He would give good service,
and proposed TO sell everything as
cheaply as the big stores. Perhaps
the big stores, by purchasing in
large lots, could buy a little cheaper
than he could, the merchant OK
planned, but he had the advantage in
paying less for rent, taxes, heat
light, clerk hire, delivery and many
other charges.
Then he dropped into a more per.
sonal vein. Il own a home here, u
he said. 1.-THE taxes ! pay on my
hthAN ku ~ pay NAt EXPENSES VI llt
community, as does a portion of the
rent / pay for my store. Therefore
a part Of every dollar that you spend
in my store comes back TO you in
some way. The dollar you spend in
the big city goes 10 help that com
munity. In buying there you help tC
educate other children at the expense
of your own; you give them cleaner
streets to walk through and better
parks TO play in. Bring your civic
patriotism into play, especially SC
when you can DO it without hurting
your pocketbook."
On the opening day his store wa.
TANNED with buyers; and it has beer
that way ever since.
The Liberal merely refers TO this
true story Of small-town merchandise
ing because it is applicable to every
merchant and every person in Lords.

Nature Cures, The Doctor Takes the

There is an old saying that Mature

as everyone knows you can help
Nature very much and thereby enable
it to effect a cure in much less time
than is usually required. This is par
ticularly true of colds. Chamber

Troop 1 of Santa Fe, n. NJ, had its
FIRST opportunity to do a community
good turn when the New Mexico State
Education association met for It's an
nual convention in their city.
Hotel accommodations were limited
and many of the visiting teachers had
to be assigned to private houses. The
scouts served as guides, one riding on
the running board Of each automobile
and helping the teachers with their
luggage.
No tips were taken, although many
were offered. The work of the scouts
made a great hit with the town as well
as with the visitors. The chamber of
commerce and the wOmen's clubs are
to give the scouts a banquet to show
their appreciation. The association
adopted resolutions thanking the troop
for its efficient service.
