SOUTHERN CHINA FACES
POLITICAL DISRUPTION

WASHINGTON, July S.-Southern
China, which heretofore has presented
a united front in It's resistance TO the
northern element now In control ut
Picking Is reported to be In danger OF
disruption as the result OF the clashing
ambitions OF the i've great southern
generals, Gen. Mo, OF Kwang-Si, and
Gen. Moo, OF the adjacent provinces OF
kwang-Tuug Though the forces OF
these generals are not numerous, prob
ably neither commanding more than
20, 900 men, the actual hostiltties be
tween the two which already have
broken out, Il they extend ms seems
probable, are calculated to seriously ef-
feet the solidarity Of South China.
Meanwhile the northern clements at
Peking, though disconnected by the
failure OF the Shanghai conference to
compromise the f%actional fight which
has prevailed for the past two years,
In preserving an attitude Of neutrality
toward the two southern generals and

peace conference In Shanghai.
The financial conditions In China are
reported In latest official dispatches to

date relief owing to the failure OF the
British and French governments to fol-
low the example OF America in ratifying
the arrangement with the five power

sults-and a rule that always makes good
is the Golden Rule. Put yourself in the
other PERSONS" place and act accordingly.
Never wear a "grouch" and if "out Of
sorts 60 home and go to bed, as Customers
have enough troubles, cares and worries Of
their own without sharing any of yours.
Keep before you that to be penny wise"
is to be foolish" in the end-that petty
economy is no economy at all-that money
cheerfully refunded to a Customer who COM
plains is never a loss and that the secret of
success is to make every Customer a sat
isfied Customer.
Every man in the Bowers Stores is either
a trade-getter or a ade-chaser-either am
bilious and industrious or Indifferent and
lazy. The ambitious men know the stock
and the prices and they render Good Service
and create Good Will. The Indifferent kind
have in mind only the foolish idea of doing
as little as possible for what they are paid,
instead of giving all they can for what they
get-and the sooner they get out" the bet
ter.
There is always room, and plenty of room
for Improvement every day in the best of
us, and the man who leaves his business at
night with a clear conscience and the salts
faction Of feeling that he has done his best
is a happy man, while the fellow who can't
must feel just the reverse.
Don't overlook the fact that first, last,
and all the time the Customer is the Big
Boss Of the Bowers Stores and must be al
ways regarded and treated as SUCH. NJ. F.

Radio Compass Aid.

ION that trip, owing to an error In
the compass, II was the radio compass
that brought us back again to our line
Of ~de"troyers, before ] had discovered
the cause of the ompass error and
corrected II. The average distance at
which we could obtain results with this
radio compass was 80 or 40 miles, with
the destroyers. | look to the radio COM
pass In the future for the solution of
the navigation problem of Transact
lantic flying"
Answering his W question as to
whether the results obtained from the
flight were worth the expense hX as
serting that IAN immense amount Of
| information concerning seaplanes and
operation over the sea for long dis
| tance'' had been obtained, Commander
| Read added he would not TRY to esti-
mate the more intangible results of the
increasing prestige to the navy and to
the country"
MY general impression of the trans
Atlantic flight was to the effect that
| the Atlantic ocean had greatly shrunk
In size" he said in closing, THAT was
n real impression, for no matter how
much we may sit down at a table and
| figure speed, distances and elapsed time,
it is not really brought home to us what
an enormous saving In time is effected
by flying instead Of steaming across
the ocean until we actually try to do II,
ut is evident to me that one of the
most important duties of all who are
Interested In the advance Of flying art
is to embark on an extensive campaign
of education. When the people realize
these things which we flyers realize,
and those people who have studied the
! question realize, then they will get be-
hind the proposition in the way that the
British always have been behind the
proposition OF creating II large and
powerful navy, and are now behind the
proposition Of creating a large and
enormous air force"
Commander Read expressed conf.
deuce that Capt. Roy n. Francis, army
aviator. would be successful in his pro.
posed continental flight and as
serted that, from his own experience
he was convinced Capt. Francis could
have selected no more efficient motor
than the Liberty, constructed undel

efficient service-politeness and promptness,
and having what they want when they want
it, constitute the chief "reasons'-especially
at present, when good service is found at so
few places. 4
We have two comodities in daily and con-
slant demand to %sell-good service and de-
pendable merchandise, and our prices for
both combined average no higher than COM
p%etitors usually ask for merchandise only.
Good service begins when a Customer
walks in" a Bowers Store, and is greeted
pleasantly with a smile of welcome and a
polite inquiry as to their needs, and extends
throughout an entire sale to the point where
the Customer walks out" after being
properly thanked and asked to call again"
Good service begins when the phone rings
and is answered promptly and pleasantly,
and extends to the usual thanks that
should end the conversation.
Remember that every man, woman and
child living in Memphis, whether white or
black, rich or poor, is a possible Customer,
and since there are so many POSSIBLE Gus
toners, your conduct and your contact with
people "outside" business hours as we'll as
inside" your store is an important matter.
Bear in mind that the Good Will you and
every other employe of the company must
create toward each store is a personal ef-
fort, dependent upon Good Service, and
more important than any other asset we
enjoy.

that it is through no fault of ours; that we have exerted
every possible effort to have the sugar here for you. AS
a matter of fact another reason for the delay in receiving
sugar is that the Government, through the Sugar Equali-
cation Board, which controls the distribution of sugar,
etc, has been curtailing the supply for domestic use in
have not been allowed to distribute their product, which
caused the Southern Wholesale Grocers to register a kick
at Washington, resulting in a promise that the South
would be looked after in the matter Of a sugar supply.
We regret that there is a possibility in some of our
stores of not being able to furnish all the sugar you want,
as we pride ourselves on having staple commodities always
on hand when many others have not.

Temporary Sugar Shortage

AT present we are nearly out of sugar. We believe this
condition may be applied to most Of the retail grocers
in Memphis, or soon will be. There has been an extra
heavy demand for sugar for preserving fruits, etc. The
refiners have been from 80 to 60 days behind in execut-
ing orders. We have booked five cars of sugar, and some
of these cars should have reached us last week. The re-
finers advise us that owing to car shortage, etc, they
were unable to ship last week, and promised shipment of
a car on Monday of this week. This car may have been
shipped and may reach us by the time this ad is published.
Again it may not reach us until next week. We hope to
have plenty of sugar next week.
In the meantime, if you find us short, please remember

A Few Words About Prices

Then, too, there is to be expected a heavy foreign de-
mand for American products, with a probability of an in
crease in freight rates, which, together with high taxation,
must be included in costs, and which, of course, tends to
further elevate prices to the ultimate consumer.
We not only expect higher prices on food products for
the reasons mentioned, but a general scarcity of many
staple items, due to car shortage, already acute, and to
''profiteers," who are %"holding for advances" as well as
curtailed production.
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-07-03

The question of whether food prices in the near future
will be higher or lower is one of interest and serious conse-
quence to nearly everyone. I
higher prices for a number of reasons-two especially.
First, there is a great scarcity of labor, which necessar-
iy curtails production, regardless of crops and the supply
of raw material. Again, labor is very high, and since labor
is about Is per cent of the average cost Of production and
distribution you can draw your own conclusion.

Defends Harry Hawker.

Referring to Harry G. Hawker's re-
mark concerning the use of a destroyer
chain by the American flyers, Com
mander Read asserted the Britisher's
comment had been ~misconstrued by the
press, and that instead Of disparaging
the feat of the Americans, he was
seeking merely to defend the British
admiralty from criticism because 1t had
not taken similar precautions,
Read was followed by Brig. Gen. i. Il.
O. Charlton, British air attache to the
United States, who congratulated the
American crews on their accomplish
ment.
Commander John II. Towers, flight
commander, who with Lieut-Command-
er P. N. L. Bellinger, was forced to
discontinue their flight with Read, re-
| ceived an ovation when he arose.
Read looked at the ocean from the
point Of a bird, while Bellinger and
myself took the doubtful view Of a fish"
he said. Il think the time is coming
very soon when the navy department
is going to realize hat they have In
aircraft the primary medium OF naval
warfare.
1T is a very big jump; there may
he several balks before It happens, a
horse balks and you have to use q whip
on him, You gentlemen have got to
be the whip.
"An admiral who was formerly OPP
posed to naval aircraft recently said to
me that there Is no use building battle
ships when you can send a seapIane
out and sink them. Any intelligent
man is very foolish II he does not see
the handwriting on the wall"
The radio compass also proved itself
OF the greatest value. Before starting
on the flight preliminary experiments
at Rockaway apparently indicated that
not much dependency could be placed
on the radio compass. In a test flight
which / had made In another type Of
seaplane, the results obtained were un-
satisfactory. In fact | placed no da-
tendency on the installation when start
Ing on the trip. Owing to this fact !

Future Long Flight Planes.

Describing his experiences on his
