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
1t is necessary for him to send away
from town to get them.
This explanation may be all right
on the theory that d 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 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
capital many times larger than the
average merchant can command to do
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
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 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
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

Documents Barring
Bolshevik Intrigue

Hoover Denies Food
Cost Increase Is
Due to Pro6teering
"Period of~Inhation" Is On
in Country at Present,
He Says

WASHINGTON, Now 11.-Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover declared this after
noon at conference with newspaper
men that the effect of peace on prices
was something which could not be fore
told specifically. Some commodity prices
would rise and some would fall, he
thought. The food administration will
continue to function during the period
of tn earmistice and until peace is an
accomplished fact.
A review of its work up to last
month was made by Mr.. Hoover. Com
parison of the year ended July I, 1918,
he said, with the year ended July l,
1913, showed an increase in farmers
prices and q decrease In consumers
prices. Since July /, 1918, he acknowl-
edged, there has been an increase in
retail prices, but this, he maintained,
is due to economic forces and to the
fact that ave are in a period of intia
ton 'and not to profiteering.
Close Records Kept
''Since October, 1917. the food ad-
ministration has had the services Of
$500 weekly voluntary retail price re-
porters throughout the United States"
he said. "These combined reports show
that the combined prices per unit of
twenty-four most important foodstuffs
were S6.62 in October, 1917 The same
quantities and commodities could be
bought for $3.50 average for the spring
quarter, 191S-that is, small drop
had taken place. During this same
period of quarters ended July I, 1917
to July /, 1918. the prices of clothing
rose from IA per cent to 1856 per cent
over 1913, or rise of about o2 pei
cent, according to the Department OF
Labor indexes.
"Since the spring quarter ended
July /, 1918, there has been rise in
prices, the Department of Agriculture
index for September showing that farm
price averages were 1873 per cent ovel
the 1913 basis. and the Department OF
Labor index showing 1873 per cent, OF
a rise from the average of the spring
quarter this year of II and 22 per cent
respectively. to the farmer. The whole.
sale price index of the Department OF
Labor shows rise from 79 per cen'
average of the spring quarter. 1918, to
of 20 per cent. The food administr-
tion Wholesale index shows an increase
from 80 per cent to 100 per cent, OF
20 per cent for the same period.
Reasons for Increase
"Since the first of July this year
many economic forces have caused q
situation adverse to the consumer
There has been steady increase ir
wages, steady increase in cost of the
materials which go into food produc-
ton and manufacture and in containers
and supplies of all kinds. There has
been an increase of 25 per cent ir
freight rates. The rents of the coun.
try are increasing, and therefore costs
of manufacturing, distribution ant
transportation are steadily increasing
and should inevitably affect prices
The public should distinguish between
a rise in prices and profteering, fol

who is himself paying higher wage
and cost-and with higher wages anc

Col. Roosevelt Goes
To Hospital Here
Former President Has Suf-
fered From Sciatica Attack
for Several Days

Colonel Roosevelt was brought to
Roosevelt Hospital yesterday from
Sycamore Hill suffering from an attack
of sciatica. 1t was the second time
since week ago Saturday that he has
been out Of the house. The first time
was when he went to vote. Most of
the rest of that period he has spent in
bed.
His physician recommended his re-
moval to-day, in order that he might
have his patient under close observa-
tion. The attack began with lame
ness of the back two weeks ago, which
the Colonel attributed to rheumatism.
1t has advanced to a point where he
practically has lost the use Of his left
leg.
Mrs. Roosevelt accompanied him and
will occupy an adjoining room in the
hospital.

them. The company, he says, threat
ems not to sell him any New York
newspapers unless he takes as many
Hearst papers as he did prior to Au-
gust 10.
Intimidation Is nleged
He further says "The New York
Evening Post" which for time sup
piled him with papers, has since Sep

consequence of the unlawful agree
n,ent alleged. Other dealers in Brook
lyn, he says, have been similarly
treated and deprived of their means
of livelihood
He also charges that these dealers
have been threatened and intimidated
that stores have been picketed and at
tempts made by force to prevent deal
ers who would not sell the Hearst
papers from doing any business.
