'That's fine idea" her father ex-
claimed. It was always JOY to him
to defer an expense. Mrs. Kip flung
him glare and Daphne rolled her
eyes In distress, but he redeemed HIM
self with an unexpectedly graceful
turn. "It let's us keep Daphne with
Us little longer"
Daphne wrote this new decision to
Clay. He sent back letter that fairly
howled with protest.
When Daphne told her parents Of
Clay's anguish they made light Of it.
1t was a long, lorg while since they
had been young. They had learned
that marriages contain surprises that
may sometimes be postponed without
misfortune.
Bayard did not write again for sew

Daphne:

over ono hundred towns IN the stats
OF North Dakota. ! am satisfied. that
It will be a calamity to u state
when only fifteen or twenty towns
remain and that two-thirds OF the
business, instead Of one-third as at
present, goes out Of the state to the
great mail order houses in the east.
II have been able to interest the
jobbers- and manufacturers of North
Dakota, the Twin Cities and Duluth
in our community programs, and
they are now waking to the fact that
unless. they can do something to assist
their retailers who are simply the
agents of the wholesalers and manu-
facturers, that in a very short time,
those who are not selling the mall or
der houses, will have MO means Of
distributing their merchandise. They
have promised their aid and assist
ance in every way in promoting this
community work and assisting in
helping the retailers to meet mail or
der competition and to raise the
standard OF retailing to where it will
attract and satisfy the desires OF the
consumers.
1.-THE neare to the cash plan Of
merchandising that you can get, the
more successful you will be, as this
method is adopted by the great mail
order houses from the start, together
with their tremendous advertising
campaign has made their business
successful"

MANN'S;

Programs and Lectures Civ.
en- in Hundred Towns
Well Received.

Devils Lake, N. D., March s.
Fred p. Mann, president Of the North
Dakota Retail Merchants association
and chief promoter of the Federated
Community Life association, arrived
in his home city yesterday from Velva,
where he delivered lecture on
community building and community
cooperation. Mr.. Mann is satisfied
that his new organization is on the
right track, and that the community
day programs staged in a hundred
towns in the state have already be-
gun to awaken residents of North Da-
kota to the dangers Of catalog house
competition.
Portions of Mr.. Mann's speech, de-
livered in various parts of the state,
and in Minneapolis, bring out clearly
the object of the organization which
he is instrumental in promoting:
II am satisfied that the great unrest
OF h farmers Of North Dakota and
most Of the northwestern states has
been caused by the, statements made
by the great majority of mail order
house advertising-that the local
merchant is charging them from 20
to 80 e cen more for their goods
than they can buy merchandise for
from the mail order houses-and in
sinuates in every way that he Is tax.
ing advantage of his local people.
The community work as nov being
attempted in North Dakota by the
united support Of all business associ.
atoms is bound to bring great result:
II continued and the plans improved
upon for the next four or five years
l know of no other plan that has evei
been attempted that has the POSSIBLE.
ties that the community work that il
being started in North Dakota has.
when I was in Washington las
July in conference with the secretar,
Of h chamber of commerce, thu
statement was made that the mai
order houses were the most efficien
distributors of merchandise in tn,
United States, and the retail mer
chants the most inefficient.
Il think that this statement is cor
rect, but that it would be a great dis
aster for the United States t hay,
the smaller merchants in the smallel
towns and rural districts abolished
and in its place the large mail ordel
houses in the eastern cities, and
know OF no greater work. that the ma
ton could do than to put on q ma
tional campaign educating the smalle,
retail merchants in the rural district
to become efficient in the distribution
Of his merchandise and to pr0mot,
the social welfare of these small rura
communities.

South Dakota Highway
Bill Passes Senate

Pierre, S. D., March 5.-The senate
late Monday, passed the state highway
commission bill r%ecreating that body
for South Dakota 1t will work
through county highway su%perintend-
ents and the present township boards
in carrying out the, 3s,0o0,o 900 good
roads program for the coming two
years. q
The chief fight against the bill was
as to whether the money should be
distributed to counties on the basis Of
population and area. which would
give the advantage to big, thinly set
tied counties west of the Missouri
river. A compromise was effected on
population alone. which senators be-
lieved would make a more equitable
distribution Of the improvements.
The house killed the resolution sub
hitting a constitutional amendment
putting the lid partly on state ex-
penditures. The did was entirely re-
moved at the last election and some
cautious \ legislators desired some
safeguard against, running the state
heavily in debt. After an all after.
noon fight on which they. could not
aeree, on how far the lid should go,
they, killed the whole matter.
