Consumer Takes Long Chance
When He Buys From the
Mail Order House.
GENERALLY IS LOSING GAME
Method Of Doing Business Is Very
Different When You Purchase
Goods From Your Home
Merchant.

When you were yOungster, did you
ever make trade, 'sight unseen?"
or course you did. What boy has not
risked his jaCkknife or his choicest mar
BILE on such a proposition and how oft
en- has he repented of his rash deed
when he discovered what he got in the
trade? He generally found that the
deal turned out TO the advantage of
the one who made the proposition.
There is little of the gambling in
stinct in the blood of nearly every man,
woman and child, but even the hard
ened gambler likes to get run for
his money" The sight unseen" prop
osition doesn't appeal to him in the
least. There are thousands of people,
however, who would be properly indig-
nant If they were accused of being
gamblers, who every day take chance
on the greatest gambling game in the
world. And worse than that, they are
risking their money on a sight I'M
seen" proposition.
When one of the thousands of per-
sons who build up and keep up the
great mail order houses of the country
sends his money away to pay for some
article that he has selected from the
mail order catalogue, he is taking
chance on getting what he expects to
get. The mail order house may be
perfectly honest and still the purchas-
er stands a good chance of not get
ting what he expects to get. The mail
order catalogues are filled with pic
lures that catch the eye. The de-
scriptions are brief, as they must be
when thousands of articles are to be
described within the confines of one
book. No matter how hard the mail
order house might try to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth. it would be an impossibillty.
The buyer Is simply taking a chance.
Buying "sieht Unseen"
How much more satisfactory 1t is
to walk into store In your home town
and ask to see an article which you
may have seen advertised in your
home paper. What would anyone
think of your business ability or your
common sense If you walked into
store at home and said: II saw
picture in the paper today of suit
which liked very much. Please wrap
up one for me. Here's the money"
The merchant would think that you
were crazy, but that Is exactly what
you do every time you send an order
TO a mail order house. You buy "sight
unseen" and you haven't a ghost of
chance of getting your money back II
the article is unsatisfactory when Il
reaches you.
How different is the proceeding
when you go into the store In your
own home town to buy a suit of
clothes, or stove or yard of ribbon.
You may have seen picture of 1t In
the merchants advertisement in the
home paper and you know that, as the
merchant is reliable, you can count on
the goods being as he represents them
In his advertisement. But does he ask
you to take his word for everything?
Does he hide the article behind the
counter and tell you that you can't
even see 1t until you buy 1t and pay
over the money for it? Hardly. If

Mrs. McKimmon Speaks.
(Contributed)

A large crowd, including some of the
teachers and schools of the County, heard
Mrs. Jane McKimmon, the State Home
Demonstration agent, at the Court house
on Friday afternoon, March 18th.
Mrs. McKimmon is speaker of great
force and attraciveness and those who
heard her could not but be benefited by
her remarks.
She first spoke of the food problem,
importance of each family district or
county producing its own food supply; al.
so surplus for the market. Then after
its production how it might be saved.
She held the City of Raleigh as an ex.
ample to the people of the state. She
stated that before the war the garbage
collector in that city had found full gar
bage pail, while now he finds only egg
shells, coffee grounds and potato peelings.
She spoke of the experiences of the
English people. When shiploads of food
from America would fail to reach Eng
land at the appointed time how that
they were proportioned out an amount Of
any dark grain from which they were to
make their bread. They were not allow.
ed to eat this substitute bread twelve
hours after baking as it was more nutri-
tiOus eaten when hot. a
She urged every American woman to
work her own garden and leave the men
free to use their labor in producing the
heavier foods, as wheat, corn, potatoes,
etc.
Again she urged every home, district
or county to raise its food supply for in a
years time the railroads could haul only
Government supplies. The situation then
would be produce or 60 hungry"
The meat and wheat supply in Ameri-
ca is proportioned out per capita, each
individual being allowed two lbs. meat
also two of flour per week. She said that
2 lbs of flour would make 70 baking pow.
der biscuits; this would mean 10 biscuits
per day, per individual.
She advised the Food Conservation
movement to secure the cooperation of
the colored people throughout the county.
Let the oolored ministers preach it from
the pulpits, and farm societies in their
churches. She said that one colored man
on being informed that he was to be call.
ed on to give up part of his usual
amount of sugar showed great willingness
to do so and exclaimed Law Briddern,
whats wrong wild de 1asses sweetening."
She closed leaving for us a slogan
which we'd all do we'll to adopt: PRO
duce all the food possible, and afer pro-
ducing, SAVE"

Also in the next issue we will begin a

of great heart-gripping interest and our

Services at Presbyterian
Church.
(Contributed)

Next Sunday is to be day of special
joy and gladness for the Presbyterians of
Rockingham. On that day services of
worship are to be held for the first time

some time all the services of the church
have been held in the partly finished
Sunday school section of the building.
But the whole church is now ready for
use The main auditorium has been
furnished throughout with new furniture,
carpet, and light fixtures. And so the
church is extending special invitations

ices on this day and share in the joy and
gladness.
