in New Hall. L. F. Zehring, expert leo
turer, will accompany the film.
The retail merchandising lecture,
which has been prepared by The Nation
al Cash Register Company, is declared
to be one of the most comprehensive
lectures on the reasons for retail bust
ness failures ever prepared, and has
been shown before commercial bodies,
conventions, and other organizations the
country over.
BY means OF stereopticon slides, the

how to prepare advertisements, and also
explains In detail the best methods Of
window display, how to solve delivery
problems, perfect store Organization,
and other interesting ideas.

said that every scene contains lesson
for retail merchants and their sales
people.
The film tells the story of Mr.. White,
q grocer, who was discouraged and dis
beartened because of bis lack Of success.
The story shows the indifference Of his
clerks, his bad store systems, his poorly
arranged stock, and other causes of bis
troubles. How he finally rose to SUCCESS
aud prosperity through the Introduction
of modern methods into his store will be
shown in the film.
Many ideas of importance to merchants
and clerks will be brought out during
the lecture. In other comwunities where

business man and clerk In the place will
avail himself of the opportunity offered
BY the lecture, and that large attend
ance will result. No charge will be made
for admission.

Mrs. Somerville is not hopeful that
the Russians will be successful in
their last desperate stand against the
Germans. The decentralization Of the
army by German propaganda has gone
too far to save the revolution. she
says. The only restoration of Russia
will come when the allies have de-
feated Germany and insist on a re-
storation of Russia and Belgium.
