CASH AND CARRY PLAN
PAYS BOTH CUSTOMER
AND STORE KEEPER

The Farmers Produce Company, A
small department store at Chippewa
Falls. Wis, has been on a cash de-
livery basis since January |, 1917,
aud On a charge delivery system
since August OF the same year. They
arc in a position to talk figures, and
to talk them with experience, and
F. w. Anderson, the store manager,
gave some mighty interesting figures
based on the new experiment.
"Prior to the first OF the year over
hall OF our business was credit. In
1916 the store did about $4,000 worth
,oi business. This includes five de-
partments, groceries, dry goods, and
ready-to-wear, hardware. shoes and
mems furnishings" Mr.. Anderson
decided that the store would simply
have to go on a cash basis if even
regular profits were to be realized.
NATURALLY, we expected a drop in
the volume Of business, but to the
astonishment of everyone, no drop
came. At the end Of January, there
was a 5000 increase in volume over
the January of the preceding year,
and moreover, the money was in the
cash drawer.
The store had been on a cash basis
for nearly a year at the time the
Journal representative visited Chip
pewa Falls, and Mr.. Anderson was
most emphatic in his approval of
the plan "You couldn't hire me to go
back to the old system. The GUS
toners as a rule, took the situation
most phiIosophically. True, a few
left, and in due course of time some
came back, and some stayed away.
In 1910 the store did about Si0,OO0
worth Of business. in 1917 the volume
OF business, on a strictly cash basis
was about $4,000. Those are the
kind of figures that talk.-Merchant

Tso-Lin intends to restore the mon

He has a brigade midway between
Pekin and Tientsin and a brigade in
Tientsin. His move is intended to
force the Presidents hand and make
him take stronger action against the
south by removing several southern
governors.

MILLION TONS
OF FREIGHT IS
STALLED HERE
F Freight for Allies Held at
Ports, Says Director
McAdoo.

Nearly 100000 tons of freight for
the allies are lying at the piers at the
Atlantic ports from Boston to Nor
folk, according to reports made yes
terday to the Director General OF
Railroads.
Cumulations are growing so fast
that some steps may be necessary to
retard them until enough shipping is
gathered to move the Supplies. Great
measure of relief is looked for in the
taking of the Holland steamships, but
X is said by transportation officials
that there are approximately more
than one hundred ship loads now
piled up. with other material moving
to the coast
According to A. II. Smith, regional
director. there are now 30.7S5 carloads
of freight awaiting shipment. There
are 6,T1S unloaded cars on the piers
and warehouses: 1858 unloaded on the
ground and $3.50 awaiting unloading.
They average more than thirty tons
to the carload, or close to 100000
tons. Among this vast quantity are
6,234 carloads of foodstuffs destined
for the allies, namely: at Boston, 534;
New York, 3,O11; Philadelphia, sos:
Baltimore, 1916; Newport News, IS
and Norfolk, 326. These contain
canned goods, meats, flour and grain.
Efforts are being made to get out
all the wheat possible. The Depart
ment Of Agriculture yesterday gave
out figures showing that the wheat
holdings at the country mills and ele-
vators on March 1 was 6S, 81, 900 BUSH
els, or about 20.0OO.OOO bushels short of
what was in store a year before. The
Food Administration has been urging
increased shipments to the allies and
the program calls for something like
100000 bushels before June /. Furth-
er efforts at conservation must be
made. it was said. if the country is to
keep up the program.

L. :. View. UachsnEed.

President Wilson was yesterday Uu-
derstOod to he preparing a statement
for the world at large which will en-
phasize the announced policy Of sup
port and sympathy for the Russian
people. II is believed the oportunitl
will he accepted to define the attitudr
OF the United States towards the sug
gested plan OF the entente powers 70
have Japan send an expedition into
Asiatic Russia
The most definite statement obtain
able concerning this policy was that
there had not been the slIEhtes;
change in the views OF the United
States as made known Informally to
Japan some days ago. This was re-
garded as advance assurance that the
President will restate his unwilling
ness to assent TO any plan OF interven-
tion which is unaccompanied by q
statement guaranteeing nonterritorial
ambitions on the part OF Japan.
The President has not permitted
his closest advisers to know whether
the message will be delivered through
Congress or issued direct from the
White House. As a matter OF eNpe-
diency the latter course may be
adopted, II was thought at the White
House, owing to the Sunday holiday,
which will make it impossible for
the Chief Executive 20 appear at
the Capitol before Monday.
Exchanges Of views between the
United States and Japan, and with
the co-belligerents OF the United
States in Europe, were still In prog
ress at a late hour yesterday.
In entente circles IL was asserted
the concern of the japanese govern
ment was due to the fact that the
position taken by the United States
is based upon principle rather than
upon interest
In Japanese quarters. IL was again
asserted that the TOXIC government
would not act hastily. Excerpts
from japanese newspapers were.
however. made available to show
the tremendous pressure that Is
being brought to bear on the Jap
anese foreign office. japanese dip
lomats denied that the Toxic gov
ernment would be influenced in any
way by the action OF the Pan-So-
Wet Congress at Moscow.
Russian officials in Washington
have permitted IL to be known that
Japan has sought in an informal
way TO obtain approval for inter
vention from the representatives OF
the late provisional government in
Russia.
