The Problems of Retail Trade.

TIE development of force OF sales
people, capable of rendering intelligent
and competent service to the public, IS
perhaps the biggest problem the mer
chant has TO deal with. 1t exists just
the same in a store having but one
or two clerks as in the bigger estab'
lishments. Every one of these con-
Germs is a business school, in which
constant training in good salesman
ship is proceeding. AS result there
is no place where the public gets 6
more intelligent and helpful service
than in town OF the type of this.
To be 3 good clerk requires some
thing more than ability TO add up q
column OF figures or quote prices. The
clerk must be intelligently informe
about the various lines of goods that
he is handling. He should read trade
papers and keep his eyes open in the
newspapers 10 get helpful information
about his line.
The intelligent clerk gives depend
able impression as to what kind q.
goods are most durable and most sat
isfactory. He can also tell what kind
OF material is best suited to the pu:
chaser's tastes, habits, manner or llV
ing and associations. A purchase
made with the aid OF such intelligence
is far more satisfactory. Goods that
lust fit wear twice as long and are
cheap at any price.
In a town like this the force of sales
people are OF a permanent character
As few changes as possible are made
and the better positions are apt TO 10
filled by promotions from the lower
Jobs in the same store. The propr!
etors give personal attention to the
work of instructing clerks. This
builds up a force of people who are
capable of rendering high degree o.
intelligent service. and of helping Gus
TONERS make purchases that will @;
permanently satisfactory.
This is the kind of thing that tho
customer misses when he goes away
to buy i'm some distant city or send;
10 a retail order house. There is
lack of intelligent service, the sale!
forces are less permanent, less intelli
gent about their goods, and they max
no particular effort TO fit the purchase
TO the customer.

Alexander Smith, paper manufac-

opinion the price of print paper never

FIGHT ANIMAL. DISEASES

The need Of conserving all classes of
live stock has never been so great as at
present. This is particularly true of
food producing animals. Many losses
due to disease Of various kinds may be
prevented in the future by using re-
Gently discovered methods Of treatment.
The first thing to do is to find out, at
the earliest possible moment, Just what
has caused the sickness. With this in
formation the owner can with the aid
of trained assistants carry out curative
and preventive measures.
To aid in this work the agricultural
college at Madison has a we'll equipped
veterinary laboratory in which examin-
ations are made free Of charge When
doubt exists rs to the cause Of disease
a sample Of blood or some tissue from
the affected animal, and a sample of
the feed, if it is suspected should be
sent in for examination and report A
letter giving all that is known about
the case should accompany the package
to help the veterinarian at the labora-
tory in making the diagnosis.
Among the diseases that are most
likely to affect farm animals may be
mentioned the following: navel infec-
tiOn in fOals, scOurS in calves. cOnta-
gious abortion and sterility in cattle,
hog cholera in swine, parasites in sheep
ana tuberculosis in cattle, swine and
poultry.
AS practically all of these diseases
are contagious and caused by germs. it
is absolutely necessary that they be
recognized as soon as they appear to
prevent other animals in the herd
catching them. DR.. F. B. Hadlev,
Station Veterinarian.

ENTERED INTO REST
Nicholas Uren.

Nicholas Uren, the oldest citizen Of
Iowa county. passed from this life at
6 80 o'clock on Thursday evening, May
"a, 1917, at the home of his grandson
Robert Uren in Waldwick. Nicholas
Uren was born May /, 1928, at Red
ruth, Cornwall, England; and had
lived 81 years and "a days.
When 26 years of age, he was mar
ried to Jane Williams of PenZance,
Cornwall, Eng; and together they en-
igrated to the United States, making
their home in New Jersey, where their
only daughter Mary Jane was born,
Several years later they moved to Min
eral Point, where their only son Will
liam n. Uren was born. Afterwards
they made their home at Blanchardville
and then on the home farm - miles
northeast Of Waldwick, until they re-
tired from the farm and went back to
live in Mineral Point
Mr. Uren's daughter died when
years Of age, and on October 13, nine
years ago, he was bereayed of his wife
and on March a, two months ago, his
son William preceded him to the life
beyond
He leaves to mourn his loss the wife
Of his son William, TO grandchildren
and 81 great grandchildren and a host
Of friends and relatives.
For nearly 60 years he has been q
loyal member Of the NJ. E. Church,
Many are the churches he has helped to
| build No benevolent enterprise was
brought to his attention without his
contributing. His JOY was to be found
in the sanctuary of God: among Gods
people, praising his Heavenly Father,
| For time previous to his departure,
! there was the failing mind and the
weakened body but nobody ministered
to his needs without receiving his
thanks. His early English training in
courtesy and respect of others was al
ways CONSPICUOUS even to the end, ad-
ding luster and grandeur TO his gentle
manly Christian character.
Appropriate services We're held at the
home Of Robert Uren and also at the
Waldwick NJ E. Church. Interment
was in Graceland cemetery, Mineral
Point on May 26, 1917. -

SUMMER SESSION IN THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS

Because Of a large number Of chill
dren who need special help on account
of sickness and absence from school,
over crowded conditions, or other
causes, it is proposed to conduct a
summer session if a sufficient number
Of children desire the work. 1t is
probable that school will be held only
in the forenoon for period of six or
eight weeks and that one teacher can
handle the work.
1t is necessary TO know at once how
many will avail themselves Of the
opportunity. Parents will make ap-
plication from their children to the
teachers or to the undersigned.

BRAZIL MAKES FIRST
move TOWARD WAR
Declaration Of Neutrality Or
dered Revoked.

Rio Janeiro, May 29.-The chamber
Of deputies by vote of 139 to 3 re
voked the declaration of neutrality in
the war between the United States
and Germany.
This is believed to be the first step
toward a fiat declaration Of war on
Germany by Brazil.
The resolution empowers President
Braz to take the necessary steps to
protect and defend BraziPs integrity
against aggression, past and prospec-
tive. The first step is expected to take
the shape Of fiat declaration Of war.
The situation strikingly resembles
that in the United States prior to the
final break between that country and
Germany.

upon: The crushing Of Austria-Hun-
