Daley was as cool in a sky-lifnit

sprinkled about him. In the long win

high that travellers neither came to
DeadwOOd nor left it, fortunes, passed
from hand to hand over the poker
table, and many strange tales are told
Of Daley's lively career.
One story is considered typical.
Daley was in n no-limt game one night
A miner sitting opposite him was con-
sidcrcd the best buffer IN the Black
Hills. Daley wore pair of new boots
and they hurt his feet. When the ga me
grew warm he removed his boots.
Finally, Daley and the miner began
fitting the pot until the other players
one by one dropped out. Then DalcV's
opponent pulled heavy leather money
bag from his pocket and slammed it on
the table with the remark that he had
five of the best cards in the northwest
and intended to play them against the
universe.
Daley was silent for moment. Then
he Suddenly picked up one Of his boot,
and slammed 1t Oh the table.

ed his opponent.
There is just as much dust in that
boot Of mine as there is in that bag Of

what you got"

Formosan Sugar OUTPUT

Unofficial estimates of the seasons
sugar output in Taiwan (Formosa) are
rather pessimistic, averaging about
s4o,oOo,ooo pounds, according to the
Japan Trade Bulletin" which is a de.
crease of 66,667,OA0 pounds. comnared
with last years output, when the au-
thentic estimate was placed at ooS &c,
$4,000 pounds. OF the total SUNNY
633,Oo0,OOO pounds will be used for
home consumption, leaving 100000 900
pounds which Japan will have for
overseas markets. Japanese refners
fear the Hong Kong refiners in fhe
China market, and so MANY of the
former believe that the best wav to
dispose Of the surplus supply will be
to secure cheap cargo space to o. the he
markets of Canada, Australia and otbor
countries, as has been done in previons
years. ''"'
The weak tone prevailing in +bo
nelghboring Java market has made
japanese rehners reluctant to Give e'dbe the
price asked by their own raw snear
producers, but it is expected that an
agreement will be reached so that tho
amount available for export will not
be materially changed.

Norwegians to Develop
Raw Material SUPPLIES

A new department of the Norwegian
government has been established,
called the Department of Industrial
Supply 1t has a separate cabinet min
lister and is now occupying large
building that has recently been com
pleted and was intended for school
building. The new minister says his
activities will comprise providing for
and properly distributing raw materials
for Norwegian industries. Special at
tention will be given to developing
first the natural resources of the coun-
try; for example, utilizing native ores
OF iron, copper and nickel, turning the
ore into metal and working the metal
into merchantable condition. This
plan not only will enable the existing
industries to operate and furnish prod,
ucts for home consumption, but will
solve the problem of unemployment.
A large staff of experts is employed in
the new department making careful,
technical studies of the natural re-
sources of the country and the ways in
which these may be developed by native
talent, SO that the country will require
the least possible amount of imported
goods. -.

By Archer Wall Douglas

UST' now the world Of distribution
in commercial life, whether jobber
or retailer, is getting back to the
fundamental proposition that success
in the future lies almost entirely in
intelligent merchandising, for the days
of speculation and constantly advanc-
ing prices arc about ever. The trouble
is that regular policies and principles
do not apply now, for the times are out
OF Joint. and it is a time of happy op-
portunism rather than of calculated
forethought. Many talks with many
travelling statesmen reveal curious
agreement of thought and action on
many points among retail dealers in all
parts of the country, and all without
the slightest unders. anding or geners..
concert. There is an instructive feeling
as to what are non essentials and what
arc essentials, even though their con-
clusions differ radically from those Of
one who, by the exercise of pure reason
and logic, seeks to evolve correct
course of action.
The average consumer is not denying
himself those things to which he is
most understanding or coffee, fo-
instance, nor midday lunches, nor
candy-but he is pltching his shoes
and having his old clothes cleaned and
repaired. The automobile business is
going on much as b.forc, so far as use
is concerned, and it win go on despite
cold weather and srcw-i impeded roads,
the high price Of gasolene and the wa-
tax. All the travelling statesmen agree
that the farmers arc buying automo.
biles more freely, proportionatelv, than
anything else. SO the retailer con-
tinues to carry good stocks of automo-
bile suDdries and 70 purchase freely
all the innumerable new things which
come out in this line. for he knows full
we'll that nothing but government fiat
curtailing the use of gasolcnc as Il
necessary war measure will stop people
from riding in automobiles.
Retailers Think for Themselves
Now, these same retailers are doing
some hard thinking III the still watches
Of the night, and they are ordering
their merchandising policies accord
ingly. They are not only in constant
contact, but likewise in constant SYM
pathy, with the consumer, and they
sense in advance just which way he IS
most likely to jump. Fortunately for
themselves, they are not paying much
attention to the flood of advice which
they get in the daily rress-and rarely
read-from those wise men whc stay
at home and tell the other fellow. But
with much common sense and shrcwd

Business Conditions in

Business has been in a remarkably
healthy state in Australia during the
past year, notwithstanding the war,

sending the wheat crop overseas, ac-
cording to report from the American

"Confidence," the report adds, "is un-

Here is one of the first notes from
the Twain spirit:
This plane is full of beauty and
love and truth. We ourselves are of a
rather remarkable nature-beautiful,

AS everybody else looks like me, in de-
scribing myself l describe all. We ra
diate a sort of phosphorescent light,
visible only at night. Thus, day and
night are all one here. At day the sun
lights us; at night we light ourselves.
1--WE are sort of faint gold, with the
faintest of pink mixed in-oh dear,
what an awful, awful language to try
and describe things with! l can't find
any other words to suit, and yet those
don't even come within mile of the
mark. shall have to leave it to your
Imagination to get the color"
