A Full, Frank Statement of the War Time
Merchandising Policy of the House of
Missoula Mercantile Company

WE have just completed our annual inven-
w tory and closed our books for the
year 1917.
For the first time in the history of this insti-
tuition we enter upon new years business in
the midst of war and many new and unique
conditions must be met, many problems will
arise which will try the mettle of men and or
CARNATIONS in the business world and we must
be prepared to meet any contingency
The first duty of every man and woman and
business is to help win the war-to cheerfuly
assume whatever responsibility our country
requires, and all must make some sacrifices.
The Government insists that business be kept
up. The tax on wartime business is to pay
third of the wars cost Special forms of taxa
ton have been perfected to that end. We shall
not keep unusual profits = the Government
will get that money.
The worlds work is very heavy Millions
have been taken from the works of peace to
the destruction of war-these men instead of
producers have become consumers, and, be-
Sides need more food and clothing and every
thing else than they did at home, and their
needs must be supplied first. Naturally, with
scarcity of merchandise in all lines is inev-
table.
Prices are hlgher---the thoughtless say, lust
because sellers dare to ask more" That is true
in spots---no country can boast a patriotism
100 per cent pure--but let consider this:
Production costs more in wartime, because
financial inducements are necessary to make
workers produce more.
All this prelude, that our readers may the
better understand and the more readily be in
clined to accept the merchandising policy which
,ue consider that maritime conditions make i'm
peratiUe to safe, conservative stOre-keeping.

5000 FROM DAKOTA.

Uncle Sam is looking to North Da
kota to register 5000 new select serv
icemen. These are young men who
have attained the age of 81 within.
the last year. The provisions as to
registration apply alike to citizens and
aliens, and no class Of young men is
exempt from the requirement.
The war department estimates tina,
ten per cent of the whole number
which registered last year will repre-.
sent the addition to the class of ten.
tative select service men which vii.
result from this registration. North
Dakota on June ), 1917, registered Co.
O05 men, 1t is expected now to reg
lister 5000 more who were not Fl one
year ago. Flickertail military men
doubt whether this expectation vii:
De realized. They report that an un>
usually large number of North Dako-
tans have enlisted as soon as they
reach the age of 81. and they est.
mate that at least 1000 have been Ia
ken from the state in this way.
Registration Needed.
Wednesdays registration is needed
to fill the depleted ranks of class one
men in many North dakota counties.
Recent calls have cut the class one
quotas in some counties down to q
very thin margin. and hut for the re-
Punishment which will result from,
