The Idea Is to Break
the Backbone of High Prices
Universally!

Somebody has to start every worthwhile
movement.
What's the good of having influence unless
YOU use it for the general benefit?
In business realms as IN others, there are
whole lot of these whom Mr. Roosevelt terms
"the timid good who are really thankful to
anyone who makes the generous and just thing
the popular thing to do for that was exactly
what they were waiting for:
Sitting around closed door, the most of
them, murmuring pity it's locked" but ready
to 90 through pell-mel a strong fist has
smashed it in.
If the example they set and the example they
follow has a tendency to conduce timidity on the
part of those who perhaps were not 50 good
SPECTATORS who by cornering and boarding up
merchandise and coin were exploiting the needs
of hard pressed consumers and the predlcaments
of honest manufacturers-so much the sooner
will relief come.
This movement can serve the nation in
proportion as it becomes nationwide.
Everybody must take hold, and many seem
to be doing so-in your town and our town and
the towns we are hearing from far and near
Merchants all over the country are declaring
that they will go along with Wanamaker's'
even at the risk of heavy loss
'ShoW us way 10 help you, is the message
from many manufacturers who just tired of
rising prices as the public IS.
Not a day or even business hour passes with
out bringing its letters and kilograms, from store
keepers and from customers; inquiring TO the
working out of our experiment clustering now
and then (much we care) about the hue and cry
after easier prices that we have created; but fre
quently asking permission to copy our methods,
even our advertising.
It's a bit less easy TO copy our values IN mer-
chandise for the prices-either before or after
deducting the 20 per cent-but to those who can
manage it we wish godSpeed.

POLLY'S CHANGE OF HEART.

Polly was the leader of set of girls
in high school, and as her father had
given her n car it made her very popular.
OF course, all the girls in her class

turned her foolish little head.
There was one girl in the class, how

When he picked up his package he
found that he had round hole with
square peg in it.
There was bit of paper tied to the
peg, and on it was written:
"Get into the right place."
Harry's bump brought down a
square hole with a round peg in it.
Its paper said:
Don't get into the wrong place."
Then Frank gave a bump that was
regular butt, and he held up a
square hole with a square peg ia it.
These words were with them:
"A place for everybody. and every
body in his place."

what does this mean?" he shouted.
''The same thing" answered Frank.
"Sure," said Chauncey.
Chauncey was the littlest. He was
so little that he used to take his doll
to bed with him and talk over with
it, before he went to sleep, the things
they had done that day. And he had
just learned that word "sure" He
was so proud of it that he used to
say it to his father instead of "yeth
sir" Chauncey would soon learn that
"sure" was not as nice as "yeth sir"
Then the girls said it was their
turn and they began to bump.
Ruth got an alphabet, so as to learn
not to say "hikjlmnop."
Sarah had "a headache in her
knee" so Mary bumped for her.

Then they all bumped the tree for
Chauncey, who wasn't big enough to
bump hard enough to make anything
fall.
Such a lot of things tumbled off.
There was a baseball glove-Ruth
tried it on and her hand looked like
hassock; breastpin-Sarah pinned
it on her sleeve, ''where she could see
it ;" two doll dress patterns; a new
dolls hat-a small hat; a set of dish
es, dolls high chair; and a tooth
pick.
Chauncey was like the old woman
who lived in the shoe. He didn't know
what to do with all his things; but
he was careful to use the toothpick
every time he took drink of milk.
There was still one package left.
