A GOOD FRIEND

A good friend stands by you when in

count of her experience with Doan s
Kidney Pills May 10, 1914: 81 cheer

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 a poor excuse is
better than none, but 1t fails to pass
muster when it is subjected to a lit
tie scrutiny.
+. Ask the man who offers this as an
excuse for his dealings with the mail
order man why he does not 60 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 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 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 storesl
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 tho nrefnren"a over

the far-distant mail order man If you
must have something which is not to
be found in the local stores? He
will do the business in satisfactory
manner. give you as quick if not quick
err service and more satisfactory treat
ment, and the chances are that
he will give you better values for the
monty. Finally, whatever profit Is to
be made off the transaction will stay
at home and do its 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 1t 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 90 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 its own city,
but will not sell to anyone residing
within the city limits. The mall 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 II
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 Il 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 infor-
nation that will enable him to get
what you want and to get it as quick
~ as you could get it from mail or
der house. It 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.

Just a Want Ad.

A man came in the other day and
put in want ad to sell some stove
wood. Things began to pick up. Next
day he was swamped with orders. He
was so busy selling wood he couldn't
get time to come in and get the stack
of orders telephoned into the office.
Now he comes and orders the ad dis
continued and says his back has been
injured loading wood so fast. The
question with the Courier now is, can
it be held liable for damages for that
advertisers sprained back? The adj
vertiser has two more men cutting
wood. We hope they don't sprain their
backs.-Winfeld (Kan.) Courier.

prices during the week, Triumphs go

Rose Is cents; Burbanks and Russets
20 cents and Kings Is cents. Cob
blers remain the same $1.5O to SITS.
There are approximately 400 cars Of
seed potatoes in the warehouses of,
Princeton but this stock cannot be,
moved in consequence of lack of trans
portation facilities. Unless this stock
is moved within two weeks it will be.
useless to southern growers.
Potatoes are coming in very slowly

vivors of the Inflated steamship, Tus-
cania, which was torpedoed by a Ger
man submarine off the coast Of Ire

ing received from the press agencies

laid to rest at different points on the
Scottish coast with military honors.
At the gravesidel American soldiers
sang the "Star Spangled Banner" fol-
lowed by the natives singing "God
Save the King" The usual military
salute was then fired, ending the cere-
mony.
Temporary fences have been built
around the graves to be replaced by a
permanent enclosure. A British COL
onel who has worked day and night
since the disaster helping the Ameri-
cans bury their dead, announced that
the people of the nearby countryside
had started a public subscription to
erect a permanent monument to the
Americans. -.
In the lists of survivors appear the

general manager of the large hard

Increase in Telephone Rates ASKED.

] Increase in Telephone Rates Asked.
In another column appears notice
OF a hearing to be held at the village
council rooms on Monday, February
IL, at 7:3O p. M, with reference to an
increase Of rates requested by the Tri-
State Telephone & Telegraph Co.
Those interested should attend the
hearing. To us it seems the rates
asked for are little stiff. Probably
there should be a slight increase, as
the Tri- Estate Co. has been to consider
able expense in taking over the North
western lines and exchange here. It
might be well to find out what rates
are being charged in surrounding
towns that have only one telephone
exchange.

retailers sell in amounts less than the
original mill packages, the gross profit
should not exceed 1 cent a pound.
Any profits in excess of these or in
excess Of those obtained in prewar
times will be considered cause for in
vestigation. Substitutes for wheat
flour should not be sold at more than
a reasonable advance over actual pur-
chase price Of the particular goods
sold, without regard to market or re-
placement value at the time Of such
sale.

Rye Flour Sales Defined.

Rye flour has been placed in class
by itself.
Herbert c. Hoover, national food adj
ministrator, has overruled State Food
Administrator A. D. Wilson's decision
that rye flour must be sold on the
same basis as wheat, that is, an equal
amount Of substitute must be pur-
chased with it.
Rye flour is not considered sub
'stitute for wheat" Mr.. Hoover wired,
"but there is no regulation that it must
be sold to grocers and by them to
customers with wheat substitutes on

a fifty-ffe a-hasi sis"
Rye flour can now be sold alone,
without any substitute whatever, but
it cannot be purchased with wheat
flour using it as substitute.
It is the nearest flour in approach
to. wheat flour there is, and the allies
will take all that America can ex-
port.
There is no surplus rye flour ii.
America, and no price has been fixed
as on wheat. There will be a tendency
to make prices soar unless the millers
are patriotic enough to be content with
reasonable profit.
Ehe food administration has no
price fixing powers, be.s the new bill
now pending before congress may
grant them. -

Thanks, Country Patriots.

The generous contributions to the
Red Cross fund from the country dis
tricts-where there are no branches,
which require the money-m make it
possible for us here in Princeton to
buy more material and, thus turn out
more articles than we could otherwise
do. The latest donation was $61 from
the Woodward Brook Farmers club.
This is the second sum to be turned
in from that district the Ladies' Aid
society from there having contributed
$3.50 in December which was raised
at a Thanksgiving social..

Flour Profits Suggested.

The United States food administra-
ton has issued the following official
notice:
It is the opinion Of the United States
food administration that the gross
maximum profit for wholesalers in
-four should not exceed from SO to rs
cents per barrel. The profit to retail
dealers in original mill packages
should not exceed from 80 cents to
$1.20 per barrel, depending upon the
