POSTOFFICE HELP GET
Is PER CENT INCREASE.

Washington, D. G., May 16.-An
amendment to the postoff1ce appropri-
alton bill providing for an increase of
5000 year in salaries of clerks, let
ter carriers and certain other postal
employees, and increases of 20 per ct.
for rural mail carriers and for en-
ployes receiving less than $500 a
year, was adopted late Wednesday by
the senate
Employees receiving between $500
and $1,000 annually would be given in
creases of Is per cent and the pay of
substitute clerks and carriers would
be fixed at 40 cents per hour. For
fourth class postmasters, the amend
ment provides that they shall receive
100 per cent Of stamp cancellations on
the first 500 or less, or in the event
cancellations do not exceed $50, a 20
per cent salary increase.
This amendment provides increas-
es only for the fiscal year instead of
making them permanent. Senator
Bankhead estimates that about $40,-
100000 will cover the increases.

youths who have become 21 since last
draft registration daytime 5, 1917
will be ordered to register under the
amended selective service law next

The registration will be conducted

Draft Administrator E. A. Fitzpat-

two, one for the district board and
one for the local board.
In counties where railroad facil-

the boards are empowered to desig-
nate points throughout their districts
where registrants can report.
A proclamation setting June as

LANCASTER SOLDIER
SURPRISES MOTHER.
(Galena Gazette. J


Sergeant Adorph Lorenz of Camp
Grant, is on his way home, to Lancas-
ter, Wis, to spend Mothers Day.
with his mother Today is also his
22nd birthday. His mother does not
know he is coming home, neither does
she know that Mrs. AdOlph O. Lorenz
is coming home with him or that there
is such a person, neither was there
until about 10 o'clock this morning
when Miss Delphia Scott of Lancaster,
became Mrs. Lorenz. The wedding
took place at the Methodist parsonage
at Galena, and the ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. w. w Liston in the
place where, four years ago, q brother
of the bridegroom was married. Ser
geant LOrenz is one of the Lancaster
boys in the service Of his country, who
is making good. He has many good
things to say about the service. and
is anxious to see the big job Uncle
Sam has tackled done we'll, and will

Miss Scott went down to Rockford
to meet her soldier boy and accompany
him to Galena and home. Both are en-
thUsiastic over the surprise they have
in store for mother and other rela-
tives and friends. They have just two
days to spend together at this time but
are eagerly looking forward to the
happy time when the boys come
marching home"

Know They Must Face the Music
if Their Customers Are
DiSpIeased.
MEET PATRONS Face TO FACE
Mail Order Men Prefer to Sell at Lone
Distance Rather Than Deal
With People In Their
Own Cities.
(Copyright.)

One Of the stock excuses of the man
who orders goods from a mail order
house is that there are many things
that he wants that the local mer-
chants do not carry in stock, and that
it is necessary for him to send away
from town TO get them.
This explanation may be all right
on the theory that poor excuse is
better than none, but it fails to pass
muster when it is subjected to lit
tie scrutiny.
Ask the man who offers this as an
excuse for his dealings with the mail
order man why he does not go to the
local merchant and ask him to order
the articles desired if they are not to
be found in the merchants stock. The
merchant will very gladly do this, and
the merchant and customer will both
profit. The merchant can sell you
whatever you desire at as low a price
as the mail order house can make you
on goods the same quality and he can
make small profit.
The customer will profit from the
transaction, because he will be deal
ing with a merchant who stands back
of the goods that he sells, and who
is easily accessible in case the arti-
cles purchased do not prove to be
all that the customer had expected.
Give Home Merchant Preference.
Why not try this plan the next time
you need something which you can
not find in any of your home stores?
The merchant in the average sized
town cannot carry in stock everything
that all of the people in his town may
want at all times. It would require
a capital many times larger than the
average merchant can command to do
this, but he does the best he can.
He ordinarily does carry in stock at
all times many things for which there
is no general demand, in order that he
may meet the needs of his customers
to the greatest possible degree, but
there is limit to his purchasing abil-
| ity. He is always ready and willing,
however, to make every effort to meet
the demands of the community. Why
not. then. give him the preference over

GET BUSY ON COAL.
State Admir-. Says Delays Are Danger
Ous.-May Freeze Next Winter.

The Herald has letter from W. N.
Fitzgerald, State Fuel Boss, saying
that hOuseholders are holding back on
their orders for fuel and thus delay
ing the whole coal situation. Orders
placed with the dealer now can be
placed by him with the wholesaler.
The wholesaler will place his order
with the mines and the miners will
work this summer and get out the
coal Otherwise the mines will re
main idle for lack of orders. 1t is
absolutely imperative that the orders
are placed at once for the dealers to
know where they head in" The al
tentative is simply this: fail to order
your coal now and you will surely
freeze to death next winter. F'itzger-
aid says so and he knows.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1918-05-22

the rar-uIsra- - mail 81 "~r NAH IT you
must have something which is not to
be found in the local stores? He
will do the business in a satisfactory
manner, give you as quick if not quick
er service and more satisfactory treat
ment, and the chances are that
he will give you better values for the
money Finally, whatever profit is to
be made off the transaction will stay
ut home and do it's bit toward making
the merchant and his town and, Incl
dentally, yourself, more prosperous.
No business can be transacted as
satisfactorily at long range as it can
when the two parties to the transac-
ton meet face to face. The only eX-
ceptiOn to this rule is in the case of
the mail order man himself who can
transact his business with greater sue
cess to himself at long distance than
he could if he had to meet his Gus
toners face to face. That is the reason
that he does business by mail instead
of selling to the people in his own
city. If the goods which the mail or
der man advertises in his alluring cat
alOgues were the bargains that he rep
resents them to be, he would not have
to go outside of the confines of his
own city to sell all the goods he could
possibly obtain. But the average mail
order house not only does not make
any effort to sell goods in it's own city,
but will not sell to anyone residing
within the city limits. The mail order
man does not want to meet his GUS
toners face to face. He can do bust
ness better so far as he is concerned if
his customer is some hundreds Of miles
away from his office.
Does Business in Open.
The man who sells goods over the
counter, on the other hand, does bust
ness in the open. He cannot hide be-
hind a corporate name or talk to a dis
pleased customer from behind the
locked doors of a private office. He
knows that he must face the music in
case he is a party to any transaction
that won't stand the light of day. He
knows that he must satisfy every GUS
toner with whom he may be dealing
or he will lose not only that customer
but probably others who will soon
know all the facts if he does not do the
square thing by any one of his
patrons.
There is no reason in the world for
any person to send his money to a
mail order house because he cannot
find the article he wants in his local
store. The local merchant is IN bust
ness for the very purpose of getting
you what you want. He has the fnfor-
nation that will enable him to get
what you want and to get it as quick
ly as you could get it from a mail or
der house. 1t is only fair to him to
give him the chance to make such
profit as any dealer would make off the
transaction and it is only fair to your
self to keep that profit at home rather
than to send it away to some far dis
tant city from which it will never re-
turn.
