This Dry Goods Business

at the present time is some
game. To buy Dry Goods and
be able to turn them over to

to be planned ahead. Unless

What Might Have Happened.

Now suppose that Smith, instead of
buying his groceries from Brown, had
purchased them from q mail order
nouse in far distant city and sent his
dollar to pay for them. Brown would
not have had that dollar to pay Jones,
the plumber; Jones could not have
paid his printing bill the printer would
have had to stand off the milk man !;
White, the carpenter, would not have
got the money for the work he had
done for the milkman and Smith would
net have got the money which White
owed him for lumber.
This Is all q simple that It requires
no student Of etsenolnlrs CT professor
OF mathematics 70 figure It ont. Any
one can See that s-hcn Smith sends
that dollar to Chicago or some other
city where the mail order houses flour
ism. that dollar Is gone so far as Smith
and Jones and Green and the rest Of
the people In Silith's town are con-
cerned, That dollar viii never come
back 10 pay any hills in Smiths town.
And the thing that stands out most
striking, but is most often overlooked.
IS that Smith, the man u,t,o first sperds
the dollar, Is ia'irt Just IS much when
he sends that dollar out Of town as Is
the home grocer from whom he might
have bought his groceries
Now Just multiply this one dollar by
hundred or a thousand or ten thou
sand, One dollar may not seem to
make much difference in the average
town, but thcEsand dollars CIR even
hundred dollars does make a differ
ence. JHst as one dollar Will raw a
dozen or tnrhre1 small bills, hun
nst-d or a Thousand dollars w,,l ray
dozen or n hundred big bills. When
brown, the grocery man, owes thou
sand dollars and can't pay It, he is
headed Tor the bankruptcy courts.
When Jones, the plumber, cnn't col:ec.
tne money which is due him from
Brown or maybe {. dozen Browns, he Is
headed III the same direction as Brown
And so II goes al! around the circle
until 1t hits Smith or dozen Smiths

It is q rather wonderful thing. when
YOU stop to think about 1t what one
lone dollar will do. if it is kept at
work. This has been Illustrated in a
striking manner on several occasions
by means Of very simple experiment
If you want to see just how important
a role silver dollar or a dollar bill
plays in the life of a community here
is the way to do 1t. Just attach q tag
TO the dollar and turn 1t loose, with
the request that every person who
receives the dollar make note on the
tag as to how he received 1t. The re-
suit will be an eye-opener.
Here is the way 1t works: Smith,
the lumber dealer, who first possesses
the dollar. buys some groceries from
Brown and pays for them with the dol
lar. About that time Jones, the plum
her, who had done some work for
Brown, sends his collector around and
Brown pays the bill with this dollar.
Jones owes Green the printer small
advertising bill. SO he sends this dollar
With possibly some others, to Green
20 pay his bill. Green had Just put
he dollar In his cash drawer when
n comes Black, the milkman, to whom
Green owes a dollar for milk delivered
ut his house. Green takes the dollar
out Of his cash drawer and pays
Black. For some time Black has owed
White. the carpenter, for some work
lone on his dairy house, so now he
axes the dollar that Green has paid
him and pays up what he owes White
White still owes for some lumber that
he bought from Smith. the lumber
dealer, SO he takes the dollar and
squares up his account with Smith
Smith now has his dollar back. Brown
has been able to pay his plumbing
I'LL, Jones has squared up with the
printer, and so on, all around the
circle.

The French national forests COM

The French national forests COM
prise about million acres, which rep
resents about II per cent of the total
forest area of that country. This
area is about one-fiftieth of the area
of national forests in the United
States. The French forest service,
however, before the war was about
the same sized organization as that of
the United States. The careful con-
troll of cutting of trees to prevent
disastrous floods is of prime import
ance and large sums have been ex-
pended for tree planting on the de-
nuded areas in the Alps, Cevennes
and Pyrenees. Some s million acres
of once fertile lands have been COW
cred with silt and eroded by torrents
to such an extent that they are al
most waste lands.
Technically trained foresters will
form part of the regiment, and their
duty will be to secure the maintenance
of the protective cover under recog-
nized systems of selection of trees
for cutting.

In discussing the question of wheth-

Old Bill Misgivens said the other day:
81 knew a man who lived long time
in this valley. He insisted that he
had had to eat so much jackrabbit
meat that it affected his general
character and his physical being. He
said he got so he could throw one ear
forward and the other back. He also
stated that he finally got so that when
ever he heard hound bark he felt
an almost irresistible impulse to
start off on long, easy lope or else
squat behind bunch of grass until
the danger seemed to be past. Anoth-
er man, who ran threshing machine
in country where mutton was the
principal diet, declared that he had
eaten mutton until he was cloven-
footed and wool commenced to grow
on his shoulder blades. Another man
ate goat meat until he went home
and butted the members of the family
out of the yard. Another man in
sisted that he used to be great low
err of bologna sausage and ate so
much of it that he got so he would
chase every wagon that came along {
and sit up nights to bark at the
moon."
