Along the road they have plenty of

Somewhere up above Urich Farm

like the wall of tortured soul. He
struggled to his feet shaking like
an aspen, his face working spasmod-

The seriousness of the wheat short age situation is emphasized in a wire received by the federal food admins trator for Arizona from Herbert Hoover, showing that some states have adopted the program of accepting vol untary tenders of flour held by con- sumers as we'll as the larger supplies of flour and wheat.
 There is no excuse for farmers not selling their wheat at the government price, maintains the food administra- tion, and active steps will be taken April 10 to requisition all supplies of wheat not yet on the market. Already several carloads have been accepted and will be taken over by the grain corporation to supply the needs of our armed forces and for the allies. Ari- zona is expected to contribute a con- siderable tonnage.
 MT Hoover's telegram which com mends the acceptance of flour reads as follows
 Several administrators advise vol untary tenders of stocks of flour by hotels. dealers and consumers for use of the army and navy and the allies. This patriotic action is very commend able and we suggest as a most practi-
 
 accepted, regardless of the size of the package at a fair price. This flour to be stored at most convenient points for time being releasing immediately an equivalent amount from the mills to go forward in the name of your state or the county in export sacks at once. This accomplishes all that is desired by those making sacrifice does away with expense and delay of re- packing, solves transportation prob lem and makes for more efficient ser vice on our part in helping the criti- cal situation abroad. The cost of re- sacking flour for export and duplica- tion of transports will be very large and by the above means the exact quantities given will be released over and above our present program of giv- ing them one half of our total sup plies

Courtesy ! Business Asset

Courtesy is the life of trade. To be
sure you must have the goods, but
courtesy helps to sell them. A certain
big establishment has a man whose
chief business Is to meet people and
make them feel at home. He has a
pleasant post q shaft distance from
the door and it's his Business TO see
every one that comes In. He has 4
handshake and q smile for everybody.
When people come in that do not seem
to know where they want to go he
talks with them and learns their needs
and sees that they get in touch with
the proper clerks. The crowd buys
there because 1T Is made to feel that
the store Is interested in them. And
they pay less for the goods, too, be
cause they buy In such large quanti-
ty that the store can afford to sell al
lower rates and still make money
That's the reason It sells more furnir

than all the other stores combined III

watchword and they find there's money
