learning a few of the simple words
and phrases that mainstay daily inter
course and thereafter absorbing some
more. By dint of practice and sound
memory, which he considers no more
difficult of exercise than is the Amer
lean ear for the latest popular song,
a modest Russian vocabulary can be
acquired. Then if it is desired, the
books can be consulted and an ambi-
tious young American can do more
with the language than many Rus
sans. Afterward he would have ca
reer.
Yet in spite of this ease, DR.. Swig-
gott finds only 10 educational illsti-
futioas IN the United States that at
tempt to teach Russian, and only three
of those have courses that are design
ed II qualify students in the spoken
language.

England" he says. "Of ~ universe

Austfians Retreating in Disorder.
Tain 31n Headquarters, Sum
day E'EEek of the Aastri-
Experiences Of Soldiers Over
There

London, May 20.-( Correspondence
of The Associated Press. 49, Next for
candy" cries the keeper offthe ships
canteen. In front Of his booth is a
long queue of American soldiers, pa
tiently awaiting their turn to buy the
sweets and souvenirs displayed on the
counter and in the show cases. 1t is
an incident in the life of American
soldiers on transport bound for
France.
The canteen-keeper is tired Never
in his experience on British vessels
has he encountered such a rush of
business. He has sold his wares in
all the seven seas to people of many
nationalities, and if he were award
ing a prize to the best customer it
would be bestowed promptly on the
American soldier.
Il say he exclaimed to the chief
steward after he had closed shop the
/. first day out, what sweet tooth
they have. At the rate they're buy
ing me out, there won't be a gumdrop
left by the time we get halfway
across"
On some of the British transports
that are taking Uncle Sans troops to
France there are as many as five can
teens.
The demand for chocolates is SO
great that the supply, large though
it may have been, is quickly exhaust
ed. American chewing gum is next in
popularity. After the home variety
of CONNECTIONS have been sold out, the
soldiers begin to experiment with
British sweets, of which toffee wins
perhaps the most favor. If American
sspop" could be had it would be con-
sumed in large quantities. Failing
that, the troops drink Spanish ginger
ale.
One soldier is known to have. spent
SIS for candy and ginger ale. He
probably would have spent more be-
fore the ship reached port, but one
day, greatly to his establishment, he
became seasick.
The canteen curios, such as shells
on which are painted the American
flag, attract many buyers, and before
the trip is ended almost every sol
dier,s kit contains one or more Of
these treasures.
On the British transports the barber
shop is advertised on the door as
"Hairdresser". AS a rule this sign

least, and the answer that you receive
may cause you to give little thought
to the difference between trading with
the mail order house in some far-off
city and buying from the merchants in
your own home town.
Some mail order concerns are now
operating sO-called credit system, but
1t is not credit system such as is
maintained by most retail merchants.
These mail order houses will sell GER
tain merchandise on the installment
plan. but they not only demand an
initial cash payment, but require the
purchaser to sign contract which
operates as mortgage not only on the
merchandise purchased, but upon any
other property that the customer may
possess. There IS nothing in this
system that bears any similarity to the
open credit system that is used by
the majority Of retail merchants.
There are some other requests you
might make of the mail order man
when the occasion arises and the re-
sponses might be equally interesting.
For instance. you. Mrs. Farmer, who
bought that box Of groceries from the
catalogue house last month. might
write the manager and ask him to buy
your butter and eggs. OF course, it
would be considerable more trouble to
pack them for shipment to the city
than it is to take them in to your To-
cal grocer, who is always ready to
pay you the market price for them, but
then maybe the mail order man would
price to pay you for the extra trouble.
And then again, maybe he wouldn't.
And, then, there is that moving
machine that you, Mr.. Farmer, have
been figuring on trading in for new
machine. Suppose you write to the
mail order man from whom you bought
that wire fencing and ask him what
he will allow you for your old machine
on q trade for new one. OF course,
the local hardware dealer in the town
where you find market for your farm
products will allow you fair price
for your old machine, but what's the
use of asking him to do it. The mail
order man surely will be glad to do
that much for you, will he not? Yes,
he will not.
List Is Endless.
There are good many things the
mail order man will not do for you.
The list would be too long to crowd
into one issue of newspaper. He
will not give you credit, however
much you may need it. He will not
buy the farmers produce. He will not
pay dollar Of taxes to help support |
your schools or build your roads. He
will not contribute cent to the sup |
port of your churches or your charita.
BILE institutions. He will not lend You
q helping hand in time Of trouble.
The local merchants In community !
win do everything for the people In
that community that the mail order
man will not do Tor them. This fact
should make 1t easy for the people OF
the community to decide which It Is
to their interest to do business with

No Bread VIII Be Sold
In Morgan City And
Berwick Wednesday
Bakers And Crocers Agree
To Act In Union TO Car
ry Out Wishes Of Food
Administrators

An agreement bearing the name of ev-
erv baker and retail distributor OF
bread and bakers products between Am
ella and Berwick to the effect that no
bread will be sold on Wednesdays, be-
ginning tomorrow, has been drawn up.
The bread makers and sellers have
agreed that this is the only way to meet
the wishes of the Food Administration
and their wheat saving program. The
mutual act, voluntarily entered into be-
tween all of them, places them on record
as realizing the need Of wheat saving.
They have adopted the only real effee-
tive plan.
n ta'ki~g with a few of the local
bakers abolt their announcement, they
stated that they were willingly sacrific-
ing one days business in order to help
the government. They also stated that
they did not propose to offset the
breadless day by permitting customers
to buy more than their usual amount Of
bread on Tuesdays. The family which
has been using one loaf a day will not
be allowed to buy two loavcs on Tuesday
Just 20 assure them bread for Wednes
day. The object of the movement is
to PREVENT the usual consumption Of
whea' flour products and the bakers
and dealers propose to stand firm in
their position. The thoughtless citizen
who asks the baker or bread dealer to
sell more than the usual order Of bread
on Tuesday should consider that they
may be rightly accused Of disloyalty.

1t has been said that three-fOurths
| or nine-tenths, or some such big pro-
portion-the exact figures do not mat
ter-of the business of the world is
done on credit. If this was not true
there wouldn't be much business done
for no currency system could be de-
viSed that would furnish enough money
to meet the needs of commerce If ev-
cry article sold had to be paid for in
actual cash. The amount of money in
circulation in the United States is only
SAT per capita and this would not go
very far if everyone had to keep
enough cash On hand to pay for all
that he might buy.
The greatest of financiers need cred
1t. They keep their resources employ
ed and at times are in need of ready
cash. The same thing is true at times
of men Of smaller means. The credit
system, as it is used sometimes, espe-
cially in the smaller communities, is
abused and works a serious hardship
upon the business men Of the town.
Some merchants, to avoid the loss that
results from such abuse of the system
or possibly to enable them to sell
goods at lower price than their COM
petitors, operate strictly on a cash ba-
sis, but the great majority of mer-
chants in every community give those
customers who are responsible and
honest the privilege Of a charge &C
count and the chances are that some
sort Of credit system, properly safe
guarded, will always continue to be
feature Of legitimate trade.
Ask Catalogue House for Credit.
You who have q reputation in your
community for being at least fairly re-
sponsible and upright know that when
you desire it or need 1t you can obtain
credit from at least some of the mer-
chants In your town. But some time
when you are In need Of some article
Of merchandise and are little short
Of ready money, order what you want
from mail order house in Chicago or
some other city and ask them to please
charge 1t till the first of the month.
