THIS is HEALTH WEEK


Gov. Aliens proclamation makes
December 9th to 18th, Health Week
in the State of Kansas. There is no
more important health undertaking
than tn prevention of tuberculosis, a
work that has been carried on by
the Kansas State tuberculosis Asso-
citation for fourteen years, financed
by the sale of Christmas seals.
Doctor Charles H. Lerrigo, Exc
cutive Secretary of the Association,
reports that in spite of financial de-
preston, there has never been year
in which the people of Kansas have
used so many of them. Already
twenty million seals have been sent
out, and the Association has had to
telegraph to Texas, where they have
a surplus, for two million additional.
Kansas lost 1888 citizens from tu-
berculosis inl 912, but in 1920, only
1863, which is saving of 219 lives.

SPECIAL REPORT ON
GRAIN MARKETING

1t is the opinion of the Kansas
State Board of Agriculture that the
delay in putting into effect measures
to correct defects in present methods
of grain marketing is due largely to
lack of joint action for common pur-
poses on the part of farmers organ
izations.
The farmers of Kansas are keenly
alive to the need of more direct and
economical methods of marketing and
to the need of united action to secure
them, but they cannot work togeth-
er effectively until agricultural or
CARNATIONS and associations, through
their leaders, unite upon measures
that all can support.
Several marketing plans have al
ready been presented. The purpose
of all is the same-the improvement
of grain marketing methods-and in
many particulars they are alike. An
adjustment of differences is certainly
possible if there is will to bring it
about.
The State Board of Agriculture
does not endorse nor condemn any
plan that has been presented. 1t has
no pet theory of its own to propose.
But it does say that the interests of
the farmers of this state demand
that all agricultural associations
council together to evolve a plan
that all may approve and back to
the limit.
We submit that farmers desire re-
suits and are not in sympathy with
fractional Essentials that impede
progress.
In entire sympathy with the end
sought and with the earnest desire
that they be speedily attained, the
State Board of Agriculture is call
ing conference of individuals, COM
panies, and organizations interested
in improving marketing conditions,
to meet at Topeka, January 10, 1922,
for the special purpose of securing
complete cooperation which is so
vitality essential in this tremendous
undertaking. With such cooperation
no obstacles are too great to be over
come.

Throughout this country are found
certain conspicuous examples Of the
so.called chain system at its best and
greatest success. These stores, wheth-
er they be located in the great cities
or in smaller communities like Mt.
|Vernon, draw the crowds and do a
vast amount of business promising a
rapid stock turn over.
When "chain stores" are mentioned
in conversation the average person is
disposed to think first of such conspic.
uous examples as the Woolworth sys-
ITEM of &c and 10c stores and the Pig
| |gly-Wiggly system Of groceries. These
are the great outstanding figures.
OF like character and description,
proving and demonstrating their right
to success and approval because
founded and conducted upon the same
fundamental bed rock elements, is an
other group, but one that is growing
rapidly. Included in this group is the
Fit-Rite system of retail shoe stores in
operation in Ohio and Indiana and
promising to spread across the bor-
ders into still other states.
| 1t is claimed for the "chain stores"
and unquestionably it must be true,
for the fact is demonstrable, that re-
tail stores of whatever description op-
Grating under the chain system are
able to buy from the manufacturers,
practically eliminating the middle
man, the jobber or the wholesaler and
This profits because buying in Quanti-
ties and ct prices that the individual
RETAILER Is unable to approach. Seldom
does one of these chain stores find 1t
necessary to resort to the artificial
stimulus of "sale" to make stock
move. Buying in large quantities 1t
is possible to save from 20% to 25%
which represents the average profit OF
[of the jobber. Sales made in large
volume permit retail prices to be fig.
ured on close margin Naturally this
rebounds to the advantage of the GUS
toner through reduced prices.

stores, operated by the S. ]. Bruson
