BUSINESS MOVE
COMES MONDAY
EVERY MERCHANT AND CLERK
INVITED TO ATTEND


Extreme interest is being manifest
ed in the retail merchandising lecture
which is being brought to this city
by the Retail Merchant association in.
and which will be shown free of
charge to all merchant and clerks
on Monday night March 3rd, at 500
o'clock in the Palace Theatre. The
lecture, which has been prepared by
The National Cash Register Company
contains the result of thirty-three
years spent in collecting retail mer-
chandising ideas from merchants in
all parts of the world, and is by far
the best lecture of it's character on
the road today.
Mr.. R. H. Kennedy will be the lee.
turer, and by means of stereopticon
slides and motion pictures he will
tell the causes of failure, and ex-
plain some of the latest methods of
storekeeping, An interesting feature
of the lecture will be the part devot-
ed to newspaper advertising. Writing
of newspaper advertisements, selec-
ton of mediums, and the necessity
for policy of continuous advertising
by the retailer will be taken up in
detail. By the same method the ques
ton of proper window display, de.
livery problems, perfection of store
matters hit ey rk big eta
organization, and other interesting
matters will be discussed
In addition, the three reel Essanay
feature film, Troubles of Merchant
and How to Stop Them" will be
shown for. the first time in this city
This film, which was prepared for The
National Cash Register Company, at
a cost of 100000, has. been. exhibited
before commercial bodies, conven.
tons and and other organizations

from coast to coast, and has every
where been declared to be the best
exposition of the troubles of the re-
tail merchant ever given.
The film tells in an interesting man
ler the story of Mr.. White, a grocer,
who though lax business methods and
poor system had been brought to the
verge of bankruptcy. AS the film pro-
crosses, the causes for his failure are
vividlyq portrayed. His clerks were
Indifferent, his goods, badly arranged
his system thoroughly disorganized.
When his hopes were at the lowest
ebb, change came in his career,
and by the installation of modern bust
ness methods, and a Encouragement
of his store, he rose to prosperity.
Because of the enthusiasm created
in other cities where the film has
been shown, it is expected that capa
city audience will greet the lecture
in this city. Every scene is said to
contain a lesson. All merchants and
salespeople in the city are invited
to attend.

How France Stopped

BY Returned Officer

teers in France after the armistice was
signed. IS related by Col. John H
Parker, the new commanding officer
of the army recruiting station here,
who was with the American force in
France for several months after the
| fighting ended.
Dealers in food were pursuing much
the same tactics there as they are in
this country, Col. Parker related. He
continued.
when ''The Tiger had finished the
boche he turned on the enemy within
the gates. He took a common soldier
from the ranks and gave him about
81 100000 francs.
Break the market he told him.
and the poilu broke it. He rented
hundreds of motor trucks, went out
into the country and brought up pro-
duce. He established hundreds of
little sectional barracks on the streets
in Paris and placed the produce on
sale at what it cost.

next day something entirely different.

which had been selling at and
francs a liter. was 1-2 francs in
three days. Butter and cheese went
down so per cent in week. Meat and
fish prices declined % to so per cent
In As hours.
"An investigation revealed that
some wholesale fish dealers hat
dumped largo quantities of fish into
the River Seine to keep the price up.
Those wealthy gentlemen were pre-
secuted on charges of destruction OF
food, and were sent to prison, leavins
their limousines behind them. 1t
wasn't long until a man could buy a
meal in a Paris cafe and get some
change backs
Col Parker personally was en-
phatic in his opinion of profiteers,
who. he said. were allowed to get n
strangle hold on the buying public
while the war was going on. His
opinion was not changed during tour
of the city which he made yesterday
in search of an apartment.

Field and Farm
What are we going to do to the Japs
before they do whole lot Of things to
US? In itself the question seems
innocent. but it is proving pugnaci-
Gus proposition for the land owners
in the Arkansas valley. They are be-
coming flooded with the little yellow
men with the hoe and are afraid they
are to be nipponized in such a way
as to drive out the white agricultur-
lists. These Japs crab the best land
and make all kinds of money in their
way of living. In the last few years
a great deal of the rich cantaloup.
beet, and truck land in Otero county
has passed into the hands of Japanese
farmers and trading companies and
they are constantly acquiring more
and bringing in Japanese labor with
consequent lower standard of living
and pay for labor. A committee of
land owners is out prowling around
to see how to get rid of the menace
without employing coyote medicine or
the shot gun. The Japs are as bad as
the colored folks in polluting a neigh
borhood, and as a bill in the legisla-
ture has been put TO sleep in the chic

facts enforcing and experimenting

WHEREAS. There was shipped out
Of GunnIson county during the year
1918, live stock 10 the number of 1881
cars
This stock all had to BE- transferred
10 broadguagc cars al Salida, the
wait and transfer taking from ten to
twenty four hours, as the railroad
company is seldom ready to move the
stock again under eighteen hours
This time is lost. If the stock had

WHEREAS, The cost of transfer
Of 1882 cars Of hay shipped in 1918

AND WHEREAS. The present la
Dor situation in the Nation and STATE
is such that men can now be obtained
for this work and such construction
will at once operate to keep idle men
employed and to make a much needed
and material improvement in the
industrial situation of Western Colo
