PIKA COMES OuT

THE forest jewellers were intensely
interested in the actions of Mr..
Weasel the Great as he searched dill
gently to locate Pika the Cony Hare.
They Were seated on high rock
where every movement could be seen,
but they said not word lest perhaps
Mr.. Weasel might turn on them. Thew
seemed perfectly satisfied to let the
Kink do all the talking.
"Eh-Eh, Eh-Eh," Pika barked
again and this time it sounded as
though he was buried down deem
in the rocks. North Wind was kept
very busy changing his course so
that Mr.. Weasel could not detect by
scent where Pika was located.
Down deep in the rocks crept Mr..
Weasel, hurrying from one crevice to
another, and when he was some dis
lance beneath the surface, Pika bark

again, this time it sounded as though
he was down in the valley. Down
went Mr.. Weasel in search of this
barking fellow. But he searched in
vain. Coming back exhausted, he fell
at the Kings feet and cried out, "Oh
King, l will give up, l am sore and
lame"
That's what comes to every one
that works to do evil" said Tinker
Bob. 'Pika, come out"
The little Pika came out from UNI
der one of the rocks nearby, to the
establishment of Mr.. Weasel.
you see Pika has the power to
throw his voice and make you
think he is down the mountain
when he is up. That is his greatest
means of protection. You see he has

Brides Skirt Too Short;
Priest Stops Wedding

PARIS, Jan. 19.-The church cru
SADIE against short skirts and low
neck gowns continues. A notice
posted on the door of one Paris
house of worship reads:
''No woman will be allowed to at
tend service in the church whose
dresses are cut low in the neck and
whose skirts do not reach at least
to their ankles"
Scathing sermons on the subject
have been delivered in Paris
churches for some time. One priest
refused to conduct the marriage serv-
ice for a bride whose dress, in his
opinion, showed too great length
of silk stockings and which was cut
in such a way Gas possibly to make it
suitable for evening wear and GER
tainly not fitted for a church. The
wedding was postponed. Probably
this was the first occasion of the
postponement of a marriage cere-
monye for such a reason.
Partisan women say that this meas
ure, if generally enforced, would
compel every woman worshipper to
have a special skirt to wear to
church.

Marshall Field used to say: Sue
cessful merchandising simply means
keeping your stock moving all the
time. Motion is the life of business"
And to get motion Marshall Field
went after his customers. He did not
build a great store and stock 1t with
goods and wait to be discovered. Nor
after he was discovered did he
imagine that the same customers
would continue to remember his ex-
istence without some reminder OF it.
He kept eternally at the practice OF
keeping his stock moving from the
store shelves to the customer and
many successful method of adver-
Using can be traced to Marshall

getting of the attractions at the Mar

Aggregate sale of goods at small

Put his prices as low as possible
