MAIL ORDER HOUSE VS.. THE
COUNTRY MERCHANT
By Mr.. W. p,


house depends on the low prices
they are able to offer, and, on
the amount of effective advertising
that is done. Pages are devoted to
the mail order house telling of the
wonderful bargains they offer, in
most every publication, which, are
carefully read each day by thousands
of people. In most every home in
the country one will find mail or
der catalog listing most everything
that is needed in the home and on the
farm. These catalogs act as silent
salesman to the people that are de-
prived of shopping in the city. By
ordering direct from the mail order
house, one living in the country may
buy merchandise at the same price as
offered in the city, where prices are
much lower than asked by the coun-
try merchant.
Since the parcel post system has
been in orperation ordering by mail
has increased, in fact wherever the
mails 20 the mail order house will
find people that will be interested in
their merchandise.
The business of one of the largest
mall Urdsr firms of our country not
only extends throughout the United
States but also into foreign territory.
They issue a catalog containing over
two thousand pages, listing a large
assortment of goods. Thousands of
dollars are spent in keeping their
merchandise before the public. Still
by buying or manufacturing in large
quantities they are able to offer their
merchandise at much lower price
than the country merchant.
A great many people living in the
country form club with their neigh
bors, ordering their merchandise in
large quantities at one time, each pay
ing a few cents for transportation, by
doing so they may buy at prices al
most as low as wholesale.
They also offer their goods on the
installment plan, by sending small
amount with their order one may fur
nish the home or buy machinery that
is needed on the farm, paying the
balance in monthly payments. Each
month they send out circulars to
thousands of customers telling of some
new article at small cost, and at
most times cannot be purchased at the
country store.
In most every small town one will
find the general merchandise store,
furniture, hardware, grocery and dry
goods department all on the same
floor. They at most times have a
large demand for groceries, but the
demand for other merchandise is very
small. In other small towns there is
the merchant that does not carry any
thing but groceries. If one of his
customers wish pair of overalls or
shoes, he orders them from some CO.
operative store few miles away
which makes a delivery once each
week.
In several small towns there are no

PHILIPPINES ARE BECOMING
VERY MUCH CIVILIZED
Selected

nNE of the brightest and most in
teresting university students in
America at present is Miss Car
men R.. Aguinaldo. This unusual
young lady is the nineteen-year-old
daughter of General Emilio Agui-
naldo.
The history of this girl and her
father reads like romance.
During the years 1899, 1900 and
1901 scarcely a day passed that the
name of General Aguinaldo failed to
appear in the headlines of the daily
papers of the United States. He
really became an international figure.
General Aguinaldo had practically
wrenched the control of the Philip
pines from Spanish oppression, and
then kept an American army of 70,-
600 soldiers busy searching for him
for year and half. No ordinary
man could have performed those two
feats. AS a reward for capturing
Aguinaldo inAo01, it will be recalled
that the late Fred Funston, of Kan
sas, was made brigadier general in
the regular army.
Upon taking the oath of allegiance
to the United States, General Agui-
naldo Immediately proceeded to assist
in the agricultural, educational and
industrial development of his beloved
land. Prior to the revolution he had
taught school and served as mayor of
his home town. That Aguinaldo, in
his early days, was student at col
lege in Manila founded many years
before Yale and Harvard were
dreamed of, will be surprising infor-
nation to those who have enormously
believed him to be an ignorant bandit
somewhat of the caliber of Villa, of
Mexico.
Today, the father of Carmen
Aguinaldo is not only one of the most
prosperous farmers of the Philippines,
but he is the vice president of two
large cocoanut oil refneries, having
an aggregate capitalization of $4,000
600. 1t is likewise well-known fact
that he stands high in the estimation
of some of the biggest business men
in America.
Miss Aguinaldo, who is attending
the University of Illinois, talks in
most interesting fashion of her plans
and the things she is desirous of as
sisting in accomplishing for the bet
terment of her country upon the COM
pletion of her education here. Her
description of the marvellous progress
made by the Filipino men and women
along all important lines is positively
amazing.
She will tell you, for instance (and
will quote figures to prove her state
ment), that no country on earth has
made greater progress during the past
dozen years in education, health and
sanitation than have the Philippines.
She is especially proud of the work
of the Filipino legislature in calmly
appropriating 30,000,00O pesos (Sl5,-
100000 in American money! for the
purpose of extending the public school
system so that every boy and girl may

receive an education. Americans will
be pleased to learn that the English
language is the principal language
taught in all Filipino schools from the
university down to the most remote
country school.
Before coming to the United States,
Miss Aguinaldo was student at the
Manila Normal School for six years.
In order to get some idea what Fill
pino normal school was like, l asked
whether she had learned anything
there in addition to the customary
English studies.
eyes, indeed" was her prompt re-
sponse, evidently amazed that l should
ask so foolish and unnecessary ques-
ton. "I learned how to make baskets
as pretty as any you've ever seen in
your life. l learned to make lace and
do embroidering of a kind that I'm
sure any June graduate or bride
would be delighted to have. And
when it comes to the art of cooking,
| feel reasonably sure that it will
never be necessary for me. to take
back seat on that score with any girl
either Filipino or American. may
say that | am especially proud of my
bread and pie making. The fruits in
my native land are so luscious and
plentiful that pie-making is an all
the-year-round indoor sport. Dress
making is particularly stressed in the
Manila Normal School, and that is
something that / think every girl
ought to learn-and learn well-no
matter whether she be rich or poor"
But how about atheletics 2" | asked.
Surely you Filipino girls do not go
in for sports and have the same op-
portunities in that respect that Amer
lean girls have in the normal schools
of this country" Right there is
where | made a mistake in assuming
too much. She came back at me most
beautifully.
"Oh, don't we thought" smiled
this clever girl. "Well perhaps you'll
think differently when | admit that |

team, and that we never lost a game.
| also was strong for tennis and bas-
ketball.
And then, just as a matter of per-
sonal curiosity, took short jour
ney into the dramatic field. l wanted
to see how | would like that sort of
thing. | confess l liked it immensely.
"Do you know that it is barely
possible that equal suffrage will be-
come an actuality in the Philippines
at an earlier date than in the United
States? Our senate voted in favor
of it last year. Only one man had
the termerity to make speech against
giving the ballot to the women. His
chief argument was that ancient one
about the, oak and the clinging vine.
A Filipino woman lawyer effectually
answered him by intimating that his
oak had long since become chest
nut, and that his 'clinging vine had
developed into sturdy plant capable
of standing without prop"
1t is with more thai ordinary pride
that Miss Aguinaldo speaks of the
work of women's clubs at home. She
takes particular pains to inform one
that such clubs are entirely free from
pink tea taint or society freakishness.

clares, "they get right down to the
business before them and nothing of
social or frivolous nature is per-
mitted to interfere until the goal is
attained.
"One of the most useful and hui
man of these organizations is the Cato
de Leche {the literal translation be-
ing, Drop of Milk Society,". These
women propose to see that every Fill
pino child has an abundance of pure
milk. In order to accomplish this re-
suit they have purchased dairy farm
and stocked it with thoroughbred cat
tie imported from Australia. A mag
nifcent building has been erected by
the society as the business and distri-
buting headquarters. The cattle are
under the constant inspection of a
veterinary surgeon, and every drop of
milk is pasteurized. l really do not
believe there is cleaner dairy in the
world.
"Another very useful women's or
ganization is the Las Danes de Fill.
pinas, whose members devote their
time to civic and welfare work prin-
cipally among the women and chill
dren.
"We are very proud of our many
hospitals and orphanages, which are
supported largely through benefac-
tions of Filipino women.
Have you heard that Filipino
women are also asking for the enact
ment of prohibition laws? The sem
timent, however, seems to be in favor
of the abolishing of strong liquors
and the retention of beer and light
wines. 1t is quite probable our legis-
lature will take such action at the
next session.
"You will not find woman in the
Philippines who is not boosting for
good roads. Already we have 1000
miles of as splendid roads as can be
found in the world. Ultimately we
hope to have our beautiful islands
covered with improved roads,"
For the benefit of those who have
not studied geography for some years
it willbe interesting to recall few
facts about the Philippines. The Phil
ippine Archipelago contains 3,141 is
lands of which 400 are inhabitated.
Luzon is as large as Denmark, Bel
gium and Holland combined, and
Mindanao is the size of Portugal.
There are already nearly 100000
acres under cultivation. There are
10000 square miles of virgin forest,
oo~p cent of which is the property
of the government and controlled by
a Bureau of Forestry.
During the past twenty years the
foreign trade increased in value from
80,00O,000 pesos to 467,000,000
pesos.
OF the 100000 Christian Fill
pinos, 100000 live on their own
farms, or in their own houses. Ninety
one per cent of the urban property is
owned by the natives and only nine
per cent is in the hands of foreigners.
