A Tale of Two Cities

l. We were outright owners of twenty
millions of perfectly new merchandise.
2. We were free to do what we
pleased with it without asking ANYBODY.
3. 1ntimations were being made by
manufacturers and others of proposed
advances in prices for Fall orders.
4. We believed that manufacturers
and spectators had had their day and
individual purchasers should now have
their day.
S. In the interest of our patrons we
decided not to place new orders at
newly advanced rates.
e. We made the simple plan Of leav-
ing our goods ticketed with the same
sale prices of the previous half year
and letting the public take them at one
fifth off until further notice.
7. 1t was a plan that every store
keeper could work as we'll as ourselves.
8. 1t was bold, firm effort to put
stop-plug in the pipes of war prices
and to head off commitments for future
deliveries at higher charges.
9. We felt that somebody had to
strike hard and heavily against the sys-
ten1atic and powerful forces of raisers
Of prices, and we took the chances.
10. The millions of dollars of cash we
received were promptly put into motion
to help overburdened manufacturers.
thereby greatly relieving their financial
needs, in many instances.
II. We are we'll satisfied with the
results Of our effort since SO many have
taken it up in all directions. We shall
very shortly after giving due notice,
surrender the field to others to carry
on the good work
IL. Please remember, we are not hur
rying a sale of our hrst-class merchan-
disc. Do not buy unless you need

The manner in which to fight dis
ease of this nature is, according to DIR.
Flexner, one of central rather than
peripheral control" that is, fighting
the disease at its source rather than
waging series of campaigns against it
after it has spread to distant centers.
To quote:
According to this proposal, an ef-
fort at control amounting even to even
tual eradication of the diseases in the

occasional and intensively spasmodic,

"1hat such an effort ut the eradication
OF a serious epidemic disease may be
carried through successfully, the ex-
Perience with yellow fever abundantly
proves. In attacking that disease, the
combat was not put off until its epi.
demic spread had begun and until new
territory, such a New Orleans, Jack
sapyille and Memphis, had been in
yaded; but the attack was made on it's
sources at Havana, Panama and now
tspayauil, to which endemic points the
extension into new and neutral terri
hory had been traced.
I'm proposing to strive fer the high
achievement, not merely of parrying the
blows struck by destructive epidemics,
but Of rendering them impotent to
strike in the future, we may pause for
"a moment to reflect on the different
ways in which peoples react to great
calamities, such as those brought by
war and by disease. As the results
of q cruel and devastating war, revo.
lutions in governments supposed the
most stable may occur; no such re.
suit follows on still more devastating
epidemics. The recent epidemic of
influenza claimed, possibly, more vic.
tins, than did the great war, and the
losses to the world in emotion spent,

confirmed by carefully kept records,
often graphically compiled as in the
excellent instance of the Munich rec.

HARkiSONBURG. VA, Jan 1.-THE
need of d new dorilitory at the Harri-
sonburg State Normal School is i'm
perat!ve. The Normal School can do
10 more than il is now doing TO help
solve the teacher problem for Virginia
until IL is provided with an additional
iormitory. In the judgment Of the
survey stan of the educational COM
mission. the supply of trained teach
erS In Virginia must be increased many
fold. and this requires "a great in
crease in the enrollmcnts OF the exist
Ing Normal Schools" Al the Harrison
burg state Normal School the present
enrolment is 307: of this number ESQ
are boarding students. The three
dormitories at Harrisonburg were built
TO accommodate only 100 students
The crowded condition Is always &C
centuated during the summer term. In
1919 there was 536 students enrolled.
and the normal dormitory capacity
with 100 students.
Every year the Harrisonburr Norm al
School is unable to accommodate all
who apply for admission. This means
that the lack of dormitory space Is re-
sponsible for preventing the training
OF maximum number OF teachers
II the surveys recommendations are
to be taken seriously. IL Virginia Is to
be provided with an Increased supply
Of properly trained teachers. then the
Harrisonburg state Normal School
must have another dormitory at once.
