folks just home from college, to the stray boarder with

There's nothing like sale of furniture
Every stopping to read this page has his own
ideas about the kind of bed he would like to sleep the
kind of dining table, sideboard and china closet he
would like to meet at mealtmes thrice day, the kind
of loungingchar he (or, fully much she) would like
to drop into at the close of busy day. and in fact the
kind of furniture all the house he would like to
introduce his friends to himself live with in close
intimacy
1t is not necessarily the kind of furniture he owns
atpresent.
Hence people read advertisements of furniture
sales.
Hence they attend furniture sales.
No sales of furniture in the whole country are
attended by more people or conducted upon
stupendous scale than the famous August Sales of
Furniture at Wanamakers, which have become the
yearly events of the world of retail commerce, and

"HS more BY good luck than good mana gement'
That proverb is loose jonted as to it's accuracy
Dare you try it out on your own housekeeping

Said an aged man to his
my children, have had great deal of trouble in
my ife and most of it never happened.
In our storekeeping notably in great Furniture
Sales we've had lot of good luck and most of it hap
pened by good management
In their buying in this coming August Furniture
Sale thousands Of folks will find thousands of dollars
worth of good luck in values obtained and in savings

Our management in getting ready such fine and

Word "Early!"

for the folks who lag in on the last days.
The world doesn't wag that way
incidentally will remark that getting good fur
nure is already almost the hardest thing in the world
With prices the ascent they are, it's likely to-
become before long of the most expensive things in
the world
Not by good luck, but by good management,
have collected for this Sale what must unquestonably
be the largest stocks of finely made, new handsome
furniture to be in any retail store in the world
since they beat previous stocks in previous
sales, and our sales beat all Others
Prices naturally aren't the prices of twenty years
ago. but they the lowest to be found anywhere
out of Sale, goods of such high grade.

prices

BY this means save large of money and keep my

I've learned you that not all that gistens mahog

There are so many furniture sales nowadays Summer
and Winter dOwstreet and upstreet that I've to the
conclusion that there is nothing unusual about sale
in itself.
Didn't myself help Red Cross get up a rummage
sale? and wasn't it revelation to how glad folks
have all sorts of old Junk nictons etcetera
taken off their hands?
It's good furniture that's rare!
Old trash and new trash-that's what I've learned to
beware of in ordinary furniture sales
There woman in neighbOrhOOd who used to
run in to butchers and ask what have got that's

the publishers of the country would
promptly mail back to Washington
the entire food of paper consuming,
money consuming, time consuming
documents through the weary
lengths of which no one has the
time nor the inclination to wade
Possibly it might awaken official
Washington to the fact that the pub
fishers are tired of hearing honeyed
words Of praise for their efforts in
helping TO put some drive over while
at the same time Washington is con
suming in a wonderful printing orgy
the very paper that means eXistenC to
good many newspaper owners.
The printing bill of the department
of commerce alone last year was
100000 so that the net result of
printing activities of the government
would undoubtedly astound us.

prlnt Paper ana he government.

In 1920 a great many newspapers
win cease to exist because of the
utter inability of their owners to
purchase paper at a price compatible
with fair subscription and adyertis
ing rates in their particular commu-
mites
According to Investigations made
by the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association there is real
and acute paper famine at hand
The mills are producing ten percent
less paper than is being used, search
ty of paper has forced prices up and
the fate of hundreds of publications
hang in the balance.
In the face of this situation it is
irritating indeed to consider the
criminal waste of paper by the go
vernment 1t is easy to imagine a
publisher who is unable to buy
paper at any price being faced daily
by an avalanche 'of printed matter
from the various governmental de-
partments at Washington which he
YEARLY consigns to his waste basket
without the formality of reading.
One department is credited with
circulating during the year almost
five million copies of reports, etc.
while another printed something
over four million. Multiply these
figures by the total number of gov
eminent departments and the vari-
Gus bureaus and we have not only
staggering waste OF paper but just as
staggering Of printing cost which
might well be saved in the face of our
present financial situation
We are maintaining at Washington
a vast printing department which is
largely given over to a terrific vast
ing Of the public money. Thousands
of tons OF paper and thousands of dol
lars in cash are annually wasted to fill
editorial waste baskets from the At
laptic to the Pacific 1t is a situation
unique enough in its way but thorough
ly disheartening
The government can cut the con
sumption Of soft coal tremendously
when there is a shortage OF coal
but it can't even set an example in
economy when there is a shortage
of paper. Worst OF all postal rates
for periodicals have been advanced
so that publishers have to bear a
great deal of the expenses Of carry.
ing to their Offices the useless re
ports from this and that depart
ment
1t would be an. excellent thing if

DR.. Garfield is nearer right than
President Wilson relative to the com
mittee to consider the coal miners
demands. a committee composed of
one operator, one miner and one non
partisan might much better be made
up of the non-partisan alone. as far as
the public is concerned The plan as
announced is a victory for the min
ers and the operators but the public
viii be hard hit.
