A WARNING TO GROWERS.
"StOye piping potatoes, apples, etc.
is still practiced by a few unScrupu-
lOus growers who think they can fool
the Commission Merchants and re-
tail dealers into accepting the @see-
Onds7 and @culls- hidden in the mid

stock.
This practice, along with topping

Well, IL it hadn't been for Robbie
Red Breast who saw little Billy Bunny
away from the lily pond, as told you
in the last story, / never would have
found out what he did after that, and
so there would have been no story to-
night. So the next time you see Robbie
Redbreast, please thank him.
And now this is what he told me.
After the little. rabbit had hoped along
for maybe a mile or three, he came to a
high stone wal. Il wonder what's on
the other side?' he said to himself. and
then a beautiful peacock looked over
and said: "Tll tell you. little rabbit.
It's beautiful garden where fountain
plays all day and the breezes sing all
night and the flowers whisper and nod
their heads"
How can I get m?" asked the little
bunny, for 1 love flowers and I never
heard a fountain play. What does it
play?"
"Oh, all sorts Of waterfall music" said
the peacock, and ne spread his beautiful
tail out like fan and brushed a little
green fly off his nose. at plays trills
and rills and cascades and ripples and
dipples." And this made the little rab-
bit so curious that he hunted all around
to find gate in the high stone wall.
And pretty soon, not so very long, he
came to one, with big iron rods and
curious carved images Of lions and
dragons and animals with wings, So
he squeezed through and hoped up to
the beautiful fountain where lots of lit

prevail seems to be UP to the man who
sells the goods. Competition IL the un-
DERIVING cause OF the custom. 1t Is
a merchants rule, pure and simple.
He permits it. He can stop 1t at any
time he chooses. Whether or not he
shall lose by stopping it belongs with
his own troubles. A very considerable
part Of the consuming public wal con-
tinue to call for approval goods while
the custom endures.
But in the end the consumer pays.
He does not notice 1t, but he pays.
The consumer pays the overhead with
the profit.
A young married man a few years
ago. speaking to an editor, told him
that his grocery bill had been cut
several dollars month. His old Ger
man mother law had come to live
with him few weeks and had taken
the marketing into her own thrifty
hands. She went down on Monday
morning and bought for the week. She
made business OF that Monday morn
ing buying. Grocers listened to her.
She got and even 10 per cent off
her bill for the cash she carried, the
deliveries she saved and the quantities
she bought. He was hoping the old
lady would decide to take permanent
quarters with him. Contrary to the
vulgar Joke about mother in laws, his
mother was one of his best as
sets. There was money in her.
There's the same money in all of US
if we make business Of our buying, in
stead of an incident. The telephone
is responsible for slackness in home
business methods that would not be
endured by the merchandiser-andy yet
the interest of the home is equal to
that of the store in the transaction.
Purchasing right, checking in pur-
chases, the home scales that should set
on the kitchen cabinet or in another
convenient place means money at the
end of the year.
The merchant and the public must
get together. In the long run their in
terests are identical.

the little rabbit answered:
Sprinkle, sprinkle, little star,

So the beautiful fountain played this
little song while Billy Bunny sat there

spread his tail to catch the sparkle from
the glittering drops of water, And then

MERCHANTS AND CONSUMERS

Merchants who make deliveries are
advocating one delivery per day. The
national committee is also suggesting
that deliveries be cut and, to a large
degree, abolished. Dry goods and la
dies wear merchandisers are anxious
to abolish goods on approval" That
also the national committees favor.
Both are good sense and by way
OF conservation. Grocers estimate that
deliveries cost them from per cent
to 10 per cent The consumer can fig
ure the rate he pays then on his an
nual purchases very easily by multi
plying the base of his total eyneditrres
No estimate is made by the merchants
who send out goods on approval, but
the consumer can assure himself that
in the end he pays for 1t, whatever it
may be-
The desire Of the merchandisers Is
that a campaign Of education be con-
Quoted that will bring the patrons to
a general agreement upon abolition of
more than one delivery per diem, and
on the adjustment of the goods on
approval" custom. To this newspapers
agree and place the facts before the
public with the assurance that the
public pays, and that the public can
save if it chooses. providing that the
merchant gives the saving to the pub
lie instead of keeping it himself.
But in the analysis of the question
it is consumers. II the consumer
is willing to pay the extra cost, that
it his business. II the merchant de-
sires to avoid it and its troubles his
remedy Is in his own hands. He can
make a charge for deliveries, refuse
TO send goods on approval, and thus
by the surest appeaI-that to the pock-
etbook-bring about the reform he
urges.
In the west the basket grocery
fiourishes. It makes no free deliveries,
but will deliver any amount purchased
for nominal fee, minimum 10 cents.
The prices of the basket groceries are
stated to be lower than those that
make free deliveries. Thus it attracts
the trade Of the thrifty, which. in the
long run, is the best trade, as it is the
safest. 314qs

A CATHOLIC PRELAIE'S VIEW.

Practical experience with prohibition

great blessing to be rid Of the Amer
lean saloon-an Infamous institution;
and l look for vote on the question:

That seems 10 be the view of prac-
tically every man whose appetites do
not affect his judgment. 1t was long
the view and conclusion of that dis
tinguished archbishop of the same
name OF the Dubuque diocese who pre-
ceded the present Archbishop Keane.
The Catholic church, the diocese of
Dubuque and all Iowa without distinc-
ton or creeds have cause and reason
for self graduation over the Arch
bishops Keane.

POOR GERMANY.

Old Kaiser Bill is bad enough; you
must admit it's pretty tough to have
king like that; a man SO arrogant and
vain. with egotism so insane his head
outgrows his hat. 1t must be tough to
have king who always says a crazy
thing when wisdom's in request, who
was, before he took his lance and
started trespassing in France, the uni
versal jest. But Kaiser Bill, with all his
sins. his whitehead arm and shriveled
shins, has points one may admire: his
heart is not entirely stone, and people
say they're heard him groan Ger all
this blood aand fire. The load he carries
is SO great he'll sink beneath it soon
or late, and he will cash his string;
then, if the Hohenzoilern line be not
uprooted, stalk and vine, the kron prinz,
with the weasel face. the runt Of q de-
caying race, the wars prize also ran!
When he is monarch Germans will with
yearning think OF Kaiser Bill, who is at
least a man. Poor Germany! To look
ahead and think that when your Will
helms dead, this prinz will be on deck!
1t will be punishment severe for all
the woe you're causing here. the ruin
and the wreck.

A CALL TO ACTION.

webster City Freepan Tribune.l
The talk now is that Governor Hard
ing and the council Of defense are get
ting ready to do something to the
present excessive prices Of coal Take
your time, gentlemen. 1t will be only a
few weeks until a large majority OF the
big consumers Of coal shall have laid
in their winters supply OF fuel or con-
tracted for it. and the coal operator
will not be affected very much 80 far
as next winters business is concerned.
What is needed at Washington and
Des Moines is action. Talk will never
get US anywhere. For more than fifty
years presidents. senator's, national po-
litical conventions, commercial bodies
and nine-tenths of the people talked Of
a Panama canal but not until man
reached the white house who did things
was there any serious attempt at do
ing anything toward securing such a
canal President Roosevelt cut away
the red tape, bought the right of-way
and put the machinery for building
the waterway in motion while senators
and congressmen were still talking, and
as a result the canal is now an accom-
plished fact President Wilson and Gov
ernor Harding ought to go after the
control of commodities in the Roose-
veltian way and stay the everlasting
talking In time Of war they have ample
power TO do what is necessary to pro-
tect the interests OF the people and it
is up to them TO do it. Action is what
the country wants.
