THINK IT OVER, Mr.. FARMERl

Arthur @. Townley, head of the Non
partisan League, is an avowed Social
ist. A large number Of good men
have affiliated with this league under
misunderstanding They do not
realize the fact, that Nonpartisanism
of the Townley brand is simply State
Socialism, and neither do they real
ize that Socialism is not American
ism.
The Bolshevists of Russia are So
cialists, and there are those who are
striving to overthrow the American
constitution and set up a Soviet form
of government here in the United
States.
If the Socialists. I. w. w. and Non
partisan League leaders succeed in
their designs, they will overthrow the
Constitution and force the Soviet up
on us. Under the Soviet government,
every man who owns even as much as
one horse, or house, is considered q
capitalist, and has no voice in the
government.
The Soviet cOnfiscated all private
ly owned property. IF these Social
lists, I. w. VS. and Nonpartison lead
ers have their way, then every farmer
who owns his own farm will have it
taken from his possession eventually.
Think It over, Mr.. Farmer! Do you
prefer the Soviet to the American con-
stitution? Do you prefer benighted
Russia to free and enlightened Amer
lea Exchange.

Iwealth that they have earned this
year, are in d position to buy all that
they will need for their comfort an
/ well being
| And, this being so, factories gen
orally will be kept busy supplying
this demand, which means, Of course
| that in industrial centers labor vii
| find constant employment at high wa
ges. which will also enable them ts
obtain whatever they and their fami-
| lies will need.
| And now, as to the retail price at
which your shoe stock should be sold
To us it seems that there can be but
one possible answer to this problem.
namely, that the price at which you
sell shoe to the consumer must b
based upon the REPLACEMENT
cost Of that pair Of shoes to you.
The merchant who, instead OF FOL
Loving this policy, marks his retail
price on the basis Of the original cost
of the shoe to him, is paying the way
for very large loss in his shoe de-
partment.
It is true that replacement cost
as basis for the retail price gn
mean TEMPORARILY" a larger than
normal profit. But, the wise merchant
will remember that the day will sure
" come when prices will start going
downward when his stock purchased
at high prices can be replaced at a
materially lower cost to him. When,
in other words, he will be obliged to
retail shoes at a price which will not
bring him fair or normal profit, un-
til his stock is readjusted to the lowe
price basis.
Every merchant knows that when
his stock must be kept complete ii
times Of high prices, there is an
avitable loss to him when lower mar
ket conditions set inwhen the larger
profits which he receives on an Gu
going" market are but temporary in
their nature and will be absorbed +
the losses he will experience Wher
he market goes the other way.
Therefore, retail price based uO-
on the replacement cost is the only
wise and safe plan for merchant tc
follow. Not by the widest stretch
imagination can such a policy be Gale
"profteering On the contrary, il
the safe. sane. business-like way fo
merchant to proceed.
These comments uDon the situation
as we view it are offered in the hope
that they may be of some value to our
customers in considering what is, be-
yond doubt, very complex situation
Yours very truly,
O'Donnell Shoe Company.
