suffering from the effects of war.
According to the Instructions sent
out by the Northern Division there
are a great many children in the re-
construction areas of Europe which,
besides being retarded in their devai-
opment by the lack of proper nutri-
ton during the war, find themselves
wholly neglected in the struggle of
their parents to provide the bare
necessities of life
A particularly great need of these
children has been shown to be toys
or other trinkets with which they
may be taught again to play. For this
reason, the Red Gross has issued

\ Good Time To Advertise

Large numbers of people have al
| ways waited for purchase of winter
supplies until Christmas trade was
over. They look for bargains 10 be
advertised soon alter New Year, and
no doubt there will be these chances
this year.
1t is never possible to clean out a
winter stock except by special drive
at this season. These are times when
the merchants find it necessary to
carry as small stock as possible.
Goods run to money fast II they
carry over considerable stocks they
will have a great many dollars locked
up in them, on which they must pay
high rates of interest.
Conditions in retail are so mixed
and upset that it is difficult to foresee
the future. 1t is time when small
stocks and big cash balances are de-
sirable. Goods are reported scarce,
though stores seem well filled. Still,
people often have trouble in getting
What they ask fer.
But even assuming that stocks OF
goods are below normal, they are
held at such high figures that de-
cline in prices would mean heavy loss.
Some day the shortages due to temp
orary war time conditions will be sup
piled. Goods will begin to accumu-
late and then the prices will drop.
The check reported to export trade
must accentuate that tendency.
+. The merchants who now proceed to
advertise their winter stock freely
and turn it into money at reasonable
figures will be in position to adjust
themselves to any price level that
may appear. They will not be subject
to losses due to the style changes
which follow each other with be-
wildering rapidity. The public is
right in looking for bargains follow
ing the holiday period. Emery En-
terprise.

Enid Bennett is perhaps the most

that she has evolved and the novel

friends. But even with this reputa-
