On Mail Order Houses
When Mann was elected president
Of the North Dakota Retail Merchants
association in 1917 he set out to learn
why a third of the business Of the
state was going to mail order houses
in the large cities. He said a survey
he had made showed the fault to lie
in the fact that only 10 per cent of the
merchants were live advertisers.
Mann asserted his optimism in the
spring stock" he said. at would be
present business outlook.
II am going 70 lay in a liberal
suicide not to do it. But l think it
is the duty of all merchants to mar
ket their goods with as reasonable a
profit as possible, to assist the gener-
al situation"
Homer J. Buckley Of the Buckley,
Cement Co., Chicago, spoke in en-
phasis of the human equation in mer-
chandizing, scoring merchants and
manufacturers who, in their jealous
ness to collect accounts, write mas
ty" letters to customers. OF the bust
ness situation, he said:
| Cold Blooded Selling
ut used to be an axiom of business,
Buy in cold blood; sell with enthusi-
asm.' For the last four years you
have been reversing the process. You
have been buying with enthusiasm
and selling in cold blood. Now the
situation is changing. You call it a
'readjustments.' l call it a merchan-
dining panic.
Advertising Neglected
"The mail order house is here be-
cause you merchants have neglected
your advertising opportunities"
R. G. Jones, superintendent OF
Cleveland schools, outlined the work
of the schools in training pupils for
business careers.
The display of spring styles pre-
scented by the Cleveland manufacture
ers in their cooperative sales program
has preceded the usual time for such
openings fully two months, ~associa-
ton officials say. The result has been
that firms have received a gratifying
number of orders.

If calloused hands are to be taken as evidence
that a man is a hardy son of toll, what about
the driver of a "Lizzie", whose hands may be
as hard as cow hide, and who never did an
honest days work in his life? How about the
professional man, who works long and hard
but whose hands are never roughed? Truly
here is a difference, and the men who judges
by the appearance of a persons hands may pick
the wrong fellow after all for his champion of
toll.

Philadelphia April SUtn and May LIST
is rapidly taking on form under. the
direction of Nate CarLmell and there

Two of the four men Who rar in
West Virginia's 1917 team, which. son

that season are available. These are
Homer Rowley and Bob Kay, two ex-
cepttonally good quarter milers anr
two men who make as good a nucleus
for a relay team as could be asked. In
addition TO these veterans, another
man Of experience here, Fred Morgan.
Is available. Morgan, Kay and Row
ley are all big strong men and they
have caught Cartmell's eye from the
very start. George Hill, of Fairmont,

ing his side of the Babe Ruth deal
which made the king of swat the prop

himself the object of unfavorable
criticism. The Boston public sees only
the loss of star player, but Frazee
analyses the situation this way in hi;
efforts to spike the rumor that he de-
sires to weaken the Red Sox:
Ruth returned his three=year CON
tract to me at the end of the 1919
season with the request that his sal
arg be doubled and made $4,000. Then
came New York's colossal offer and
their desire. to satisfy Ruth's exces
sive claims. To my mind no individ-
ual player in so unctrain profession
as baseball is worth any such amour,

afford to pay the huge salary Ruth
would arise from other and more
faithful members of the Red Sox. The
