EDITORIAL

The adaptability of a stores merchandising policy to prevail ing conditions is of prime inn portance today.
 As you know, there are some stores of the "old school" that stick to what they have done in the past, regardless of changes and changing conditions.
 What they do not seem to re- alize is that to serve you best they must listen to your de- sire and be amply supplied with what you want.
 When the war started a year ago we appreciated the fact that it would bring to you new needs. That is why we are now so splendidly prepared.

TO PROMOTE HOLIDAY TRADE

Before the armistice and Council
of National Defense composed of the
secretaries of War, Navy, interior, ag-
riculture, commerce and labor, entered
into an agreement with representatives
of leading industries and retail inter-
ests, to the effect that the sale of
Christmas goods should undergo GER
tain restrictions with regard to the EN-
ployment Of labor during the Christmas
season and the conversion of transpor-
tatiOn and delivery facilities. Certain
other agreements were likewise entered
into. The Council of National Defense
now believes that as one of the steps
essential to the rapid establishment of
normal after the war conditions, it
should and it hereby does, lift its ban
in connection with holiday buying in
the desire to give a natural impetus to
the unemployment OF those normally
engaged in the production of holiday
material and in holiday trade. The
council is further impelled to this de-
cision by reason of the necessity now
confronting Us to get our military
forces and munition factories workers
back to the ordinary pursuits of life
with the least possible shock in making
the change"

ingtoni d. c., was brought to him that
his son Private James Robert Brown of
the Field Remount, Squadron 318, had
died in France, October 90, 1918, of

ure of his homecoming soon.

1889. May %, 1918, he, with others,
entered into service at Camp Grant.
After being transferred to the different
camps, he went overseas to swell the

His mother died several years ago,

was called was always courteous and a
gentleman Many friends here and
elsewhere regret to hear of his death
He was a member of the Episcopal
church and the Masonic Order of this
city.

one sister Mrs Emily Lewis of Boise,
Idaha, and one brother David Brown of

THE MINERAL POINT
HIGH SCHOOL

The public schools were reopened
Monday morning, after an enforced va
cation of nearly seven weeks.
Miss Mary Bradford has been en-
gagged by the Board of Education to
look after the health of the school chill
dren. There will be daily inspection
and visiting Of homes and a rigid en-
forcement of health rules. Every eff
fort will be made to keep the schools
free from the epidemic. A hearty CO.
operation of the parents will greatly
assist in this health work.
Miss Nelson and Miss Wonn were
not able to resume work Monday on
account of sickness. Miss Stephens IS
substituting in the first grade.
A general meeting of the teachers
was held Saturday night for the pur-
pose of considering plans to meet the
situation caused by the closing of
school At this meeting all teachers
volunteered to give the extra time and
effort necessary to make it possible 10
complete full years work this year so
that the education of the children may
not suffer because Of the enforced clos
ing. The school will run through the
usual Christmas holidays and spring
vacation, and the programs have been
changed to allow more time for class
work The morning and afternoon
sessions will begin as usual, the morn
ing session closing at II and the after
noon in the high school at 4:15. Pupils
are asked to spend one and three quar-
ters hours in home study, daily, and to
limit the time spent in outside school
activities to an average of one hour per
day. Allowing nine hours for sleep
and two hours for meals, this gives
each pupil four hours of each school
day for other home work. We hope
that parents will assist in these plans
that make for conservation Of time
and energy and more efficient work.
