MANY PUT TRUST
; IN THE UNKNOWN
Never Satisfied With Thos'
i Things With Which They
F.; Are Familiar.
inclined TO TAKE CHANCE
Curious Traits in Human Nature Have
Made Possible Growth and Devel-
opment Of the Great Mail
Order Houses.

Copyright. 1917. Western Newspaper Union-)
A curious trait in human nature
makes itself apparent very frequently.
That Is an inclination to trust in the
unknown rather than In that with
which one is familiar. A person Is
very apt to take chance, even though
he may know that the odds are 100 TO
one against him, instead Of being salts
fed with lesser rewards about which
there is no possibility of doubt.
1t is. possibly. the fiaring up Of the
ever-present gambling instinct but
there is something more in it than that
There is in 1t the unexplained ten
dency on the part of most people to
reach for the chimerieal and ignore
the tangible and substantial thing
which is near at hand. Man is sell
dom satisfied with those things that
are within his grasp but is reaching
always for the unattainable. Too Of
ten, he loses that which he might cas-
lily gain by blindly pursuing that which
is always just out CT his reach.
Why aeon" Man Thrives.
Coupled, in a way, with his faith In
the unknown is the tendency on the
part of so many people to place con-
fidence in q stranger in preference to
one who is known and has been tried
and proven. 1t Is this tendency which
makes possible the operations of the
'con" man. the get-rich-quick artist,
the INSCRIPTIONS promoter and the
salesman of worthless mining stocks.
The man who would not think Of
trusting Bill Jones, his next-door
neighbor and fellow church member,
will confidingly turn over his life's
savings to a stranger who unfolds
tale of riches to be won. Bill Jones
might talk his head of In behalf of q
legitimate proposition without getting
a dollar where the slick stranger with
the worthless proposition can get thou
sands.
It, is these two tendencies which. ap-
parently, are so widely prevalent
among all classes Of people that have
made possible the success Of the great
mail order houses in the big cities.

portant TO the mall order man as
knowledge Of business practices. Ee
plays upon these tendencies Of man
to take a chance, to trust in the un-
known rather than the known. to place
confidence In the stranger rather than
the friend.
Hope to Draw Prize.
Those who buy merchandise from
mcil order house are moved partly.
whether they realize it or not. by that
trait in their nature which prompts
them to trust in the unknown rather
than In that with which they are ia
miliar. They are hoping. it may be I'm.
consciously, that they will draw prize.
They do not know what they will get,
for it is impossible for one to know
what he is going to get when he Or
ders merchandise from picture and
highly colored description In a cata-
logue. He is taking chance on the
unknown.
Buying merchandise from the local
merchant, on the other hand. contains
none Of these elements of chance that
enter into the dealings with the mail
order house. When one buys stove
from the hardware store In his home
town, he may get none Of the thrills
that come from taking chance but
he will get stovAthat will last longer
and keep him warmer than the one
that he might get from the mail order
house and to the average individual,
these things are likely to be more I'm
portant than the thrills.
/ Using Your Eyes.
When you buy from the local mer-
chant you see the thing that you are
buying, you inspect 1t carefully, ex-
anime the workmanship and the quail
ity of the material of which it is made
and in many cases you have the privi-
lege Of testing it before paying for 1t.
You have not only your own eyes and
knowledge of values to rely upon, but
you have the advantage of the advice
of the merchant who has an expert
knowledge Of the merchandise which
he is selling and who, in 80 cases out
of 100, can be relied upon to tell the
truth about it. Then you have the
guarantee that is backed not only by
the retail merchant, but in many cases
by the manufacturer. If the article
which you buy does not prove satisfac-
tory after it is given fair test, you
can take it back to the store where
you bought it, in most cases. and get
your money back. The retailer may
get his money back from the manu-
facturer but If he doesn't, he stands
the loss. In any event, you are pro-
tected.
Why a person will place his conf
lence in a stranger rather than q
friend or will trust In the unknown
rather than in that which is tangible.
is something that is hard to under
stand. Even the mail order house does
not pretend to know why it is so but
it accepts conditions as it finds them
and makes the most Of the oppor>
tunities that they offer.

FACTS
MORE CHICKENS ARE WANTED
Farmers Are Urged by Department Of
Agriculture to Stock Their Farms
With More Poultry.

From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
The United States department of ag-
riculture urges as many as possible of
the farmers who have not raised chick
ems to stock their farms this year with
fowls. enough at least to supply the
needs of their own households. This
will be big factor in the nationwide
campaign which will endeavOr to dOu-
BILE this year the chicken and egg pro-
duction Of the United States. Accord
ing to the last census, of the 6,371 ,5O2
farms in the United States, 1927, 743
reported no egg production. The more
chicken-and-mOre-egg campaign is ex-
pected to displace millions Of pounds
of beef and pork in American menus
and send the released product across
the ocean to our soldiers, the allies,
and the hungry people of the lands
devastated by the Prussian war torch.
The department does not advise that
the general farmer embark in extern
sive raising of poultry, but warns
stSsllIlSl SUCH SeIIluTcS. Aul ~ SCNo
no reason why every farm should not
produce enough chickens and eggs for
its own use, and why there should not
be enough surplus to make chickens
and eggs available to the general pub
lie ut reasonable prices and in such
quantities that there will be markedly
less domestic demand for the meats
that are needed abroad and that can
be transported there.

MONSTER GUN IS, LOCATED
In Forest Of st. Gobain, West Of

Paris-The German monster can
non," which has been bombarding
Paris, has been located in the Forest
of St. Gobain, west of Laon and ex-
actly 122 kilometres (about rs miles)
from the Paris City Hall. The gun
bombcrded Paris during the greater
part of Sunday. The day was ushered
In by loud explosions from the 10-inch
shells, and Immediately the alarm to
take cover was sounded.
This occurred at 6.55 o'clock and
mary persons sought shelter, but
greater numbers of them appeared in
the streets on their way to the
churches, which were almost as well
filled as usual. The women who sell
palm leaves on Palm Sundays did
their usual thriving business. At first
the shells began arriving at intervals
of twenty minutes, and the detona-
tons, considering the Sunday calm.
seemed louder than those of Saturday.
Their power to disturb the equanim-
ity of the populace, however, seemed
less, the people refusing to be dis
tracted from their Sunday habits to
any great extent.

"There is quite apt TO be-" announ-
ced Mrs. BOwser. as she pulled open
the door, and appeared before them.
It was so unexpected that nobody
could do anything in reply, and she
looked straight at John Darius Clay
and said:
Il understood you to say that you
were an old salt yourself?"
Mr.. Clay was so taken aback that he
only bowed in response.
IF you are then. you can answer

Mr.. Clay looked helplessly at Mr..
Rowscr. and Mr.. BOwser had look
of woe and helplessness on his face.
There was silence for half minute.
during which the cook downstairs was
heard to drop her dishpan and swear
about it, and then Mr.. Clay called up
his nerve and said to Mrs. Bowser:

But Mr.. Rowser wasn't generous.
As soon as she was out of the room
he sneaked out into the hall and got
his Overcoat and hat and took a
walk and Mrs. Bowser saw him no
more that evening. He wasn't hunt
ing for Mr.. Clay. but kicking himself
