Gated his position to make room for the

Of horse-drawn cabs operating in Rome
while there is not single taxicab.
Two reasons are given for this equine
superiority. First, there are 1900 cab
drivers in Rome, according to the mu-
nicipal statistics. These exercise con-
siderable influence In the municipal
elections of Rome, and as conse-
quence no motor vehicle concessions
are granted.
Besides, the supply of gasoline In
Italy is not large and to insure enough
for the military needs it was found
absolutely necessary to discourage as
much private motor vehicular traffic as
possible.

MINNESOTA HAS
BEST CORlNCROP
IN ITS HISTORY
Both Size and Quality Of /.
Ears Better Than Last
Year.

ST. Paul. Mimi. Oct. 7.-Minnesota's
corn crop this year is the largest in
the history of the state, according to
j. H. Hay. deputy state commissioner
of agriculture.
''The estimated corn acreage for the
year is about 100000 acres, witr all
average yield per acre Of As bushels,
as against 2,750,o00 acres, averaging
yield Of 40 bushels an acre, for last
year." Mr.. Hay said.
Both the. size and quality Of the
ears this year excel year ago and
are the best this state has ever pro-
duced before. 1t is doubtful il the
corn crop Of any other state is better.''
he said.
The wheat crop year has a failure
generally, according to Mr. Hay and
he attributes the failure to drouth IN
some sections and excessive rains in
others.
Where the wheat crops were a FAIL
ure. the rye crops helped to recoup the
farmers losses, according to Mr.. Hay.
Mr.. Hay was of the opinion that the
potato crop throughout the country
was failure.
Grand Forks herald., 1919-10-07
pointed out that it was the wholesale
and retail trade, rather than manu-
factures which was the important
factor for Grand Forks.
Rctail Trade needed. s n

es~SsSA ~ (. Z
Retail Trade Needed.
A really good town, Mr.. stockdale
declared, must be retail trade CEN
ter The business is there. and IL
you want 1t you must go out and get
it." he declared.
A significant point Mr.. Stockdale
made folloying his definition Of
really good town." was the fact that
out Of every dollar spent over the re-
tail counter, thirty cents Of it drops
out Of the purchase price and goes in
to circulation.
Every time the average dollar
crosses the average counter. thirty
cents Of it drops out and goes into cir
$500 drops out and goes into circula-
ton. That is one reason why the mid
dleman gets so much criticism.
But the man who goes into the re-
tail. business and reduces that per-.
centage one. or two, or three, per
cent is a man who, If he succeeds,
may be put on a plane with Rocke-
feller or some other successful big
business man. 1t is an almost i'm
possible task. Groceries, staple gro
ceries, may be sold at margin Of 20
per cent possibly, but the other lines
will come along and make up for the
20 per cent margin, and increase to q
80 per cent figure.
How Many Are Retailers?.
Mr.. stockdale went on to discus
people were really engaged in the re-
tail business, pointing out that one Of
the first items in the conducting of
the retail business was the item Of
rent.
'"The man who rents his store to a
retail merchant is in the retail busi-
J ness. The people who work in stores
are in the retail business Advertis-
ing is another factor to be considered.
Some of the retail business is simply
transferred to the newspaper or
such an Office The insurance, the
telephone and the interest items all
enter into consideration of the sub
ject.
Endeavoring to hammer into his
| audience the idea Of loyalty to their
community, Mr. Stockdale told them
that Money earned is an individual
asset, but money spent is communi-
4 ty asset"
He defined the 100 per cent citizen
as the one who worked, lived and
spent his money in a community, not
the man who merely worked in a
| community, or who worked and lived
in community.
Mail Order Business
While the. mail order business II

tail business of a community, Mr.
Stockdale seemed to think there wa<

worth. The mail order. business is

as you are hurting it yourself by no,

Nov 24-Dear Parents: As this is
the day all the boys are supposed to
write letter to dad, l am going
to write this to you.
We have never been in any real
fighting battles with any guns, but
it was only by chance of luck that
we were not. But we sure have done
our share in work, for we have done
much construction work. One would
be surprised at the amount of con-
struction that was done in the short
time the u. S. was in the war.
have been in several different jobs
and several different places since /
have been over here. About the first
job was with the pick and shovel.
l run a steam roller at Nevers and
another one at Isusudon, on the road,
and have been here long time run
ming a switch engine, a gasolene en-
CINE. been engine house foreman, en-
CINE inspector and machinist. | am
now a machinist in an erecting shop.
l do not know what | will do next.
We are at Abbenville now, but may
move at most any time.

Baptist Notes.

The local health authorities have
again closed the churches until Jan
uary IL. In compliance Herewith We
will have no services until Sunday
January II. AS further result we
are again unable to carry out plans
for Enlistment week, January 1918
but will endeavor to put the same
through for the week of January 49,
26. May we express the hope that
our people will so plan their work that
when we reopen you can give a large
portion of your time for the rest of
the month to religious work and evan
gelism. In the meanwhile use the
daily Bible readings of the Sunday
school lessons and let US be much in
prayer. Quarterlies and papers can
be secured Sunday morning at the
church from II to II o'clock.
We hope our people will all coop
crate to conserve health. Wherever
the pastor can be of service, drop him
a card or call him by phone, 7S-W.
These are days when we need to get
close to God, and the most essential
business for the welfare of the peo-
pie is Gods work. We must not let
it lag, but redouble our efforts.
