Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York November 7.-Fluctuations In the market today were confused and irregular, but generally toward lower level Europe sold here following a re- port of the revolution in Kiel, the Ger man naval base and riots at Hamburg. These events revived again the uneer- tainty as to the internal conditions of the central powers and the possibility that serious disorders there might have a de- pressing effect upon the business or the world. A sharp advance occurred upon the publication of the report that an armistice had actually been signed with Germany. While not confirmed this re- port is generally believed. The market did not hold its advance and the trade here appear to be much in doubt as to the course of prices. In other words the market has not had time to find itself and the enthusiasm in the securities mar ket is not as yet reflected in commodi- ties. The south sold hedges here again on balanee.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

Practical Education

The great fault with old fashioned
education has been that it was too
much book work. The young people
have been required to follow tradi-
tional lines of thought laid out in past
ages. They have become mentally
alert, good reasoners, agile in argu-
ment.
But there has been a failure to de-
velop the planning, constructive, ac-
tive faculties. The children have been
too much spectators in the world of
action learning what other people
have done before them, but not doing
things for themselves. Their mental
eyes were opened, but their physical
eyes were closed. They acquired no
faculties of observation.
1t has often happened that bows
brought up in the rough and tumble
ot work, without much schooling, have
Succeeded better than well educated
men. The uneducated man learned
IN his experience how to keep his eyes
open. He closely observed all details
IN whatever material he handled. He
studied the people he came in contact
with, and had pretty good idea
what they would do under any circum-
stances. Put him out in some diff
cult situation in actual life, and all
this practical experience counted. and
ne could originate some way to handle
It. Book work does not solve manv
of these problems.
During recent years, feeling that
| education must somehow give +hasa
| powers not taught in old fashioned
book work, educators have introduced
manual training in various kinds of
hand work. Excellent results are be-
NC accomplished where the work is
we'll handled
Children who never could be inter
eSted IN books, who learned from the
printed pages only with the greatest
Atlicuity. have had a new world op-
ned to them. The faculties with
which they were gifted have been
aroused. They have been put in the
vay of making successful men and
women.

Republicans Attention

These are strenuous war times and
we have all been back of our able Pre-
sident Woodrow Wilson. He has been
fair with all nations and all factions
up to the present time. Now in his
great anxiety to help his political
party and its members he is going
outside of his Presidential rights t.
try and help members of his party
to positions in Congress. Here is the
parting of the ways politically. Those
who have been Republicans all their
lives believe he is going too far in his
os President when he
"ovor his party Re-
will sustain his
adm. ~. III all war measures,
but when it comes to politics they
will support their party just the
same as he does.
His course we believe will drive
Republicans closer together in the
support of members of congress who
are seeking election. This is the time
for Republicans VINO love their coun-
try to stand together in one solid
front in the election of Republicans
all along the line. We believe Re
publicans will turn a deaf ear to Will
sons advice and vote for Republicans
everywhere.

Why Advertised Stores Succeed


Because the advertised store tells
the public what bargains it has, while
The non-advertised store does not.
A live, enterprising merchant, who
is good, shrewd, wide awake buyer,
has bargains all the time. 1t is his
principal job to keep on the lookout
FOR special opportunities. He watches
the trade papers like a hawk, he
quizzes statesmen, he looks out for odd
lots and bankrupt and fire damaged
stocks. If he is on his job he is con-
tinually making a wise selection be-
tween good and poor offers, and al
ways has things in his store that rep
resent exceptional value
The public hears about these excep-
tional chances in the advertised store.
It is not told and does not realize
that such chances exist in the non
advertised stores, even if that store
has them. The public then passes by
the non-advertised store, because
nothing has been suggested to con-
vince anyone that anything is to be
gained by trading there.

ment store, Sixth avenue. between
Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets.
New York City, closed its doors per-
manently in March, 1918. The stock
was subsequently sold. Girnble
Brothers, in New York, Philadelphia,
and Milwaukee, announced that they
bought it all, the New York store ad-
vertising "a small portion resold to
two stores in other cities"
Kaufman & Baer advertised that
they had acquired jointly with large
Eastern concern the entire stock of
Greenhuts-a 100000 deal. When
the Greenhut Company filed its petit
ton of dissolution in the Supreme
Court, the directors stated that they
realized S1,O88,25O for the stock sold
to Gimble Brothers, adding that the
price was exceedingly favorable, ad-
vantage being taken of the present
high price of merchandise to obtain
the highest possible price.
Kaufman & Baer stated that on
March II, agreements were signed
BY the parties in interest, and $100-
900 was paid by them to bind the
bargain. Invoices covering the en-
tire assortment of Greenhut merchan-
disc bought from Gimble in this trans
action by the Pittsburg store show
a grand total gross of $114, 285.11
These are original invoice figures, sup
piled by Kaufman & Baer them
selves, and secured by LaVigne thru
the cooperation of the United States
Postal authorities.
Morris Baer was forced to admit,
upon cross-examination in Court by
Attorney Lee, that the 100000 was
not payment to bind the bargain for
further joint participation in a ST.
100000 deal as the advertising would
lead the public to infer, but instead
it was the entire amount paid to
Gimbels for the Greenhut merchan-
disc received. +
Judges Swearingen and Reid fined
the Kaufman & Baer Company 500
and costs of prosecution.

Before passing sentence, Judges
Joseph Swearingen and Ambrose B.

bench, heard a brief statement of
some of the details and facts on which
the charges were based The infor-
nation filed on May II, last, by Con-
stantin E. LaVigne, of Washington
D. c., alleged that on the 18th day
of April, 1918, and prior thereto and
subsequent thereto, Kaufman & Baer
Company, knowingly made and des-
seminated certain statements and as
sertions in their advertising concern
ing the quantity, the quality, the val
ue, etc, the manner and source of
purchase, and the motives and pur-
poses of certain sales of certain mer-
chandise which were untrue and cal
culated to deceive.

all of this was contrary to an Act of
Assembly of the Commonwealth of
