WOULD HONOR WAR
HEROES ON ARDOR DAY
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
ADVOCATES PLANTING OF
TREES

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 27---
"Such an observance OF Arbor Day as
as wen secure widespread planting
of trees dedicated to those whose lives
have been sacrificed in the great
struggle to preserve American rights
and the ciyilation of the world" is
advocated by the Secretary of Agri-
culture, David F. Huston, in letter
just sent to the governors of the
States.
The Secretary's letter follows:
THE observance of Arbor Day be-
gan soon after the Civil War. A dis.
tinguished citizen of Nebraska, who
later became Secretary of Agricul-
ture, was the prime mover in securing
its recognition within his State, where
it first took root, and the Board OF
Agriculture of that State, on his mo-
. a e.
ton, designated the first Arbor Day.
From the beginnig 1t has had civic
motive and an association of patriot
ism.
Another and greater war has come
to its inevitable conclusion. The
cause of righteousness. of liberty, Of
all that Americans rold dear has pre-
vailed. We shall seek many ways to
perpetuate the memory of those who
made the great sacrifice. The me-
MORALS will take many forms. The
names of those who have fallen will
be perpetuated by costly monuments
and inscribed on enduring tablets.
Great works that serve the needs Of
peace also will doubtless be dedicat-
ed to them.
But along with these memorials,
we can easily discover ways in which
we may simply and spontaneously pay
our tributes to them We can keep
fresh our memory of what they gave
and we can perpetuate their names
in familiar places. 1t has been hap
PLY suggested that we may do this
by adorning with young trees, each
named for a fallen soldier, our way
sides, our yards, and our pleasure
places And in most of our States
Arbor Day is at hand This year we
may give to that day meaning more
profound, a purpose more exalted, yet
also association more personal.
Il conceive that, if the origin Of
the day be borne in mind, the invita-
ton to our fellow citizens to join in
making it day especially set apart
and consecrated for tree planting may
appropriately come from this depart
ment. | take the liberty, therefore.
Of suggesting that you commend to
the citizens of your State, and par
ticularly to those in attendance upon
its schools. such an observance Of
Arbor Day as will secure widespread
planting of trees, dedicated to those
whose lives have ben sacrificed in the
great struggle to preserve American
rights and the civilization of the
world"

buy AT HOME"
SLOGAN GIVEN
A new PUNCH
COLUMBIA MERCHANTS SOLVE
PROBLEM OF KEEPING TRADE
IN HOME TERRITORY.
ARE PLEASING CRITICAL BUYERS
Women Accustomed to Shopping in
Larger Cities Are Buying at Column
bia Stores This Season AS Never
Before--Equal to Any Market.

"Buy at Home" is an old slogan
that has been given a new punch by
Columbia merchants The public is
not being asked to trade at home
merely for the purpose of keeping the
rusty dollars at home, but because it
pays the purchaser to buy from the
stocks Of local merchants who are
carrying lines of merchandise that
compare most favOrably with that in
the shops and stores of Louisville and
Birmingham.
Talk of this kind is not hot all" !"
1t Is based on incidents that occur
here almost every day. One mer-
chant told The Herald few days ago
that he had never before sold to so
many critical and particular buyers,
women who have been accustomed to
doing their shopping in the larger cit
les because they thought they could
not find the same quality and the same
value in Columbia, as he has this
yea;.
The best merchants in progressive
small cities nowadays are buying
through purchasing combines whereby
they are placed on an equality with
the biggest merchants in the country.
BY such arrangements it is possible
for a Columbia merchant to buy in
New York or other markets exactly
the same style, quality and model
goods in small quantities as the larg-
est dealer in any city in the United
States and at the same prices. AS a
result the shelves and counters OF
Columbia merchants are replicas OF
what will be found in the big depart
ment stores of the larger cities.
A Columbia merchant stated a few
days ago that many critical buyers
who have been accustomed to makifgl
shopping tours to larger cities have
come back to his store this season
and made purchases after having in
spected and priced the same articles
and commodities elsewhere. These
women expressed surprise that they
were able to find right here at home
exactly the same things they had ad-
mired in other cities and frequently
at much better prices than they were
offered elsewhere.
This merchant said that he had nat
urally always been an advocate OF the
buy at home" theory. but that he
had never before realized how easy it
is to make buying at home habit IL
only the proper stocks and dtdhe prop
er prices are offered New York cata-'
log houses and nearby city depart.
ment stores would not make enough to
cover the cost of the postage they
spend in circularizing this territory
if every merchant and every buyer
would seek to. take advantage of the
shopping opportunities that exist here.
"The merchant a who is, discriminat-
ing In his purchases. studies the styles
and markets, sets fair prices and ad-
vertises at home will make the buy
at home cry unnecessary" said this
Columbia merchant, who practices
what he breaches.

Automobile thieves would be foil
ed if the suggestion OF H. w. Hyser,
Grand Rapids. Mich, is enacted into

Here's his plan: Authorize the

permits TO owners of automobiles TO
use certain numbers. names or de-
vices to brand certain parts of their
cars and the brands TO be placed in
certain designated spots.
Require these marks 20 be cut.

that they would not be removed or
obliterated without defacing or
mutilating the parts. Make IL a
crime to drive a car with such
markings refaced.
Make the permit from the secre-
tary Of the state evidence of owner
ship when issued and transferable
with the car by being duly acknowl-
edged before a notary, these ac-
acknowledgements to be written on the
permit, thus forming a chain of title

bench and vulcanizer under the
guidance and instruction OF experts,
students of the Goodrich school are
given lectures on special subjects
that apply to the successful opera
ton OF a garage-advertising. sales
manship, bookkeeping. business cor
dependence, etc.
Each student in the school COM
pletes all the operations in tire re-
pair himself and does not work In

He must learn TO successfully and
efficiently master every phase of re-
pair work unaided, except by the in
structors. The next class in the

cations should be addressed to any

PUBLIC FAVORS
MORE GOOD ROADS
Idea That Highways Were
Mere Speedway Has Under
gone Change.
The public's conception Of good

The public's conception Of good
roads" has undergone a radical
change in the last two years.
Prior TO the entry OF the United
States into the world war, the nom
motoring American public, more
often than not. thought good roads
were advocated chiefly for the bene-
fit Of their more fortunate neighbors
who owned and drove their own
motor cars. They were inclined to
regard good roads laws as class leg
islation and were unwilling for the
most part TO lend either financial
or moral support to the construc-
tion and upkeep of something from
which they derived no direct bene-
fits so far as they could see.
That conception no longer exists.
Universal recognition OF the motor
trucks value as a means of trans
portation, demonstrated under the
stress of war. has brought about a
change.
The war merely hastened what
leaders of the industry had fore
seen for several years: IL furnished
the setting and the conditions which
enabled the truck to establish itself
as a factor in the economic life of
/ the country Under normal condi-
/ tions its recognition and general
+ adoption would have been more
/ gradual. but none the less convinc-
| ing.
Trucks arc Essential.
The non-motoring public no long
> er looks upon good roads as speed
Z ways" for the motoring "aristo-
] cracy." 1t has come TO realize that
motor trucks are essential as trans
/ portation factors and that good
( roads are necessary to the efficient
I operation Of trucks. It's vision has
been broadened; 1t sees the advan-
/ tages and benefits which acrue from
a combination OF these factors
benefits which have a direct bear
ing upon the economic conditions
of the community.
1t sees the farm brought, one
might say. to the very table of the
consumer; it sees an ultimate de-
Z crease in food prices: and, those
( who pause TO consider the matter
] IurJner, see the ever expanding
range Of possibilities of the truck
and it's ally. good roads, throughout
the industrial ana commercial
world.
with the universal recognition
and adoption of the motor truck the
public's conception of how roads
should be built also has undergone
a change. Heretofore there has been
a vast difference between the aver
age mans idea OF good roads and
that of the experienced engineer
The average man was content &c
build for the present: the engineer
as the result of past and not alto
gether satisfactory experience
knows and has known the import
ance Of building for the future a:
/. well as the present.
