THE WOMEN HELPING

NNNOMEN in many states
0 are helping in the work
of the local draft
boards. School teachers, who
were already assisting, had not
the leisure for all the work
needed and, in response to an
appeal from Provost Marshal
General Crowder, the state
councils turned to the divisions
of the woman's committee,
council of national defense, to
obtain clerical help.
The woman's committee re-
ports that in Arkansas, one of
the 27 states in which it has
taken an official registration of
women for war service, the
chairman Of Pulaski county was
able to print in the local news
papers a list of more than $50
women volunteers, and next
day telephone lines were kept
busy by women answering the
first call they had received
from the government.
In Ohio Gov. Cox requested
that the county units of the
woman's committee furnish the
necessary volunteers. Only S
out of the SO units proved un-
equal to the call. Within 10
days the work was completed.
In Illinois the registration cards
were used and women were
asked to work in taking indus

FALSE ECONOMY
HAS NO Value
Buying Cheap Goods Just Be-
cause They Are Cheap Does
Not Pay.
QUALITY Often OVERLOOKED
Instance Seen in Case of Mail Order
Houses Which Make Their APP
peal Solely on Basis Of
Price.

Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union }
Economy is one Of the greatest of
virtues but false economy is no more
a virtue than anything else that is
false. To be able to economic wisely
is one of the greatest blessings that
one can have, for it is the prerequisite
to thrift and well-being. Too many
persons, however, who think they have
found the secret Of true economy are
practicing false economy which is
worse than wilful waste.
For instance, the man who buys
stove from a mail order house for SO
because he thinks he would have to
pay $40 for one if he purchased it
from his home merchant, is practicing
a false economy, for the chances are
that he would save more than 81 in
the end if he purchased the $40 stove
from the local hardware leader.
There are several reasons why this
is false economy. The first one is that
dollar for dollar, the greater part Of
the merchandise sold by the mail or
der houses is of less value than that
sold by the retail merchants of the
smaller communities. The mail order
business, as a whole is built upon
cheapness. In order to attract Gus
toners the catalogue houses must sell
goods cheaply and in order to do that
they must sell cheap goods. Their
business is built up on price and not
on quality. The retail hardware deal
er, like retail dealers in other lines,
probably can match the prices of the
mail order houses. He probably has
a SO stove which he can sell to the
man who wants to get a stove for SO.
The trouble is that the man who buys
from the mail order house does not
distinguish between price and quality.
Thinks He Is Economizina.
The man who buys the SO stove
from the mail order house probably
would not buy SO stove from his
local merchant for in the latter case
he would see just what he was buying
and might realize that the SO stove
would not meet his needs. He orders
a SO stove from the mail order house,
however, just because the price is SO
and not because he has any assurance

BOND SLACKERS ARE
PROPERLY SPURNED.

Two farmers in neighboring coun-
ty refused to buy Liberty bonds. A
few days later, when they hauled
their milk to a cheese factory, the
factory refused to take it. They
tried other factories and at each
place were declined the privilege of
selling, Nothing was said, nothing
was done by the neighbors but to give
the two farmers a severe letting
alone. 1t was only few days until
those two farmers were scratching
gravel in several directions at once,
trying to purchase bonds and square
themselves with their neighbors. They
finally succeeded in getting matters
adjusted so that they can again make
use of the business facilities Of the
community, but it will probably be
many years before they recover from
the reputation as slackers which they
made for themselves. This is a cold
world for slackers, and it is getting
colder right along. In Germany they
imprison them or shoot them, which
ever is more convenient We are not
in Germany, but the man who fails
to do his duty in the world crisis, in
which the happiness and prosperity
of our people are at stake, will find
that the face of public opinion has all
the dangers of firing squad and

Joy at receiving two letters from
his son Jack, aged 20, with Uncle
Sans forces in France, was quickly
turned to grief when w. K Humphrey
Of Waterloo, read a telegram from
Washington announcing that the boy
had been killed in action on May 81.
He enlisted with a North Dakota
company having gone west shortly
before Americas participation in the
war. In his last letter he expressed
great enthusiasm about the American
fighting forces and described at length
the magnitude of the artillery action
on both sides, in which he evidently
had participated.

On last Wednesday night the Wis
ible means of German kultur in the
Baraboo schools went up in smoke
when the German text books which
disappeared several weeks ago, were
burned during the night at the post
office corner with due ceremony. In
the center of a painted square the
books had been piled and fired. Be-
fore the blaze had been painted these
words: Here Lies the Remains of
German in Baraboo H. S. '1S." This
would indicate that seniors had par
ticipated in the ceremony. Just
where the books had been hidden all
this time is a mystery which has not
been solved.

JnHI the stove VIII meet MS neeOs. ne
thinks he is saving a dollar or two by
buying this stove instead of paying
$40 or $11 to the home merchant for
one that he has seen and knows will
give him satisfaction. The chances
are that when the stove arrives and
he has used it for a short time he
will realize that he has practiced false
ecOnOmy-that it would have been
more economical in the end for him to
pay dollar or two more to his home
merchant and get an article that was
guaranteed by the dealer.
The patron of the mail order house.
also, often fails to take the matter of
transportation charges into considera-
ton when making his purchase. He
sees only the price Of the article as
listed IN the mail order catalogue and
does not think of the express or freight
charges, which with the cost of
money order and postage often make
the total cost Of the article greater
than the price at which the same thing
could have been purchased at the local
store. Another case of false economy.
Buying merchandise of poor quality
because the price is low is often false
economy when the purchase is made
at the home stores but it is doubly so
when the merchandise is bought from
a mail order house. When buying at
home one can be reasonably sure that
the article purchased at a low price,
while there is no such assurance when
it is bought by mail on the "sight IN
seen" plan.
Idea Is Exploded.
The idea that the mail order houses
sell the same quality Of goods at lower
prices than the home merchants is
quickly exploded when one learns of
the large profits that are made by the
majority of the mail order houses and
the large selling expense to which they
are subjected. The large mail order
houses spend hundreds of thousands
of dollars annually for advertising and
the selling expenses of the smaller
concerns are proportionately as large.
Their other expenses, such as rent,
taxes and labor, are also higher than
those of the local retail merchants, in
proportion to the business which they
do. In spite of these heavy expenses,
the mail order houses distribute mil
lions of dollars in dividends among
their stockholders. In one large mail
order concern the profits of the stock
holders, in cash and stock dividends,
have aggregated as much as 1000 per
cent on the capital invested in the
short period of nine years. This does
not indicate that the mail order houses
are in business for their health and
are giving away merchandise to their
customers.
The mail order houses have CAPT
talized the desire to economic that is
inherent in almost every one. By plac-
ing price above quality and making
cheapness the fundamental element in
their business they have inculcated in
the minds of their patrons the idea
that they are economizing when they
buy cheap goods at cheap prices.

Whether from carelessnesS, disloy-
atty or lack of sense you will hear
people say, 81 have given to war char
tiles on every call and have given to
the Liberty loans" Given to the Lib
erty loans! Just think of that. If
those loans to the government were
gifts (but they are not) then God pity
them and pity us all. AS sure as fate
II the governments promise is not
worth a hundred cents on the dollar
with interest, then prepare to submit
to the rule of old Kaiser Bill, the
beast who would wreck the whole
world and laugh at its ruin.
Stop your paper will you? Just
because it is loyal, Ell? You're one OF
those fellows who won't turn your
clock ahead, aren't you? Do you
think that by refusing to turn your
time piece ahead and stopping your
paper because it tells the truth, that
you'll turn the whole creation back
ward to that condition of without
form and void?" If such is your feel
ing, then let US tell you that you are
only speck, an infnittesimal iot, in
the universe, and furthermore the
whole community have you sized up
to dot. Another thing in spite of
kickers and slackers, dodgers and
grafters, traitors and spies, America

war is over, they will when those mil
lions of fighting boys return to their
