in the Near East,
are volunteers serving with a high
purpose, and they do not recognize
hardship when they meet it,
They have had their opportunity to
withdraw with honor from the field of
famine and desOlatiOn. They have re-
fused to leave, because they know that
their departure would mean death for
tens of thousands Of women and chill
dren whom their efforts have kept
alive and whom they are determined
to save for a better future.

Leonard Wood, in behalf of the Near
East Relief, has sent forth broadcast
for a Lenten Sacrifice Offering to save
these little children in Bible Lands?

ed In Past Seven M0nths-Sears,
Roebuck and Montgomery
Ward Fell OF.

J. C. Penney & Co., the operators
of countrywide system Of chain
stores, did Is per cent more business
during the first seven months Of this
year than during the corresponding
months of 1920, while Sears. Roe
buck & Co., and Montgomery Ward
& Co., the two leading mail order
houses Of the country suffered loss
of approximately 81 per cent, in the
same period, according to figures
that have been obtained by Daily Gar
ment News.
e. c. Sam Explains
E. C. Sans, president of j. c. Pen
ney G. Co., when asked yesterday why
it was that in this period Of depres-
sion the Penney stores had increased
their sales so tremendously while the
business of the catalogue houses had
SO greatly fallen off, ascribed the
fact in part to the poor business con-
ditions.
"When business is fush," he said,
"people are not so particular where
they buy and do little shopping
around. When business is bad they
are anxious to find out where they can
obtain what they want at the lowest
price. Because we have pursued pol
icies which permit us to sell at rock
bottom prices ]. C. Penney & Co., has
prospered through the depression"
Took 100000 Loss
The chief points in the policies Of
the Penney stores that brought this
about he said were:
l. That the Penney stores on Jan.
/ took 100000 loss on their in
ventory to make it possible to base
selling prices on replacement values.
2. That the Penney stores have
devoted an increasing amount OF
money to arouse interest by the pup
lice in the values offered by them. .
8. That the executives OF eacn OF
the Penney stores is Interested IN tne
business and for that reason nave
the same personal interest IN thelr
stores which the man who owns q
single store possesses. ms VT
Sans pointed out, is an element wnlcn
lis entirely lacking in the bill man
order concerns.
4. The Penney stores sell Tor cash
only. :,
S. The Penney stores do not de-
liver any merchandise to their Gus
toners.
6. The Penney stores derive al the
benefits that are to be obtained thru
large scale buying.
Mr.. Sans declared that the man
owning a single store should be able
to benefit in the same way, when'
ever he is able to put the same prln'
ciples into practice. He doubted very
much whether this was entirely pos
sible, but in any case that is possible
such principles should have the same
results.
Recommends Cash and Garry
For the small man to put his bust:
ness on cash-and-carry basis might
often be difficult, he said, but if that
were done the benefits to be derived

through resultant reductions in prices

through resultant reductions in prices
should be great.
The element Of personal interest
is not an exclusive feature but is one
that is shared by any man who oper-
ates his own store.
Mr.. Sam doubted whether the small
merchant has been able to write of
his losses on his inventory with the
case that a large concern like his
has been able to do but where it can
be done, he said, sales simply must
be increased.
Advertising is medium which the
one man store can use as well as
the largest chain store operator in
the country.
And although Mr.. Sans did not
comment on this particular point, it
has been said time and again by ex-
perts in the retail field that the one
man store can share in many Of the
benefits of collective buying with the
chain stores through being represent

Ford Coupe Taken by Police is I'm
claimed

A Ford coupe located in front of
the Auto Mart at o'clock Tuesday
morning, where it had been left by
two strangers, is now in the hands
of the police. Two young men were
seen to drive the car up along the
side of the street opposite the Auto
Mart and then got out and darted in
behind some of the Buildings. The
police were notified and when Capt.
Brown arrived, the men had disap-
peared. The radiator was still
warm. Capt. Brown found that the
door of the Auto Mart had been
sprung and evidently some one had
entered the place, evidently intending
to steal car. The door to the
paint room on the second floor had
been forced open but nothing was
missed. Capt. Brown heard some
one whistle about the time he ar
rived. Peter Grindberg. who is en-
ployed at the place, had just return
ed from trip to Ryder. The Ford
is without license tags. A camera
was found in the car, with two I'M
developed films, showing views of
two young men beside the car.

Stole Two Bucks at Valley City

Two Buick cars were stolen at VAL
ley City Tuesday night. One car
driven off by three fellows was track
ed as far as Darlington. The thieves
stopped at Rogers and stole two new
castings, by the tracks of which they
were followed. The Rogers marshal
saw the men breaking into a garage
where they stole the castings and oil.
He was shot at four times and emp
tied his gun on the robbers, but no
one was injured. The cars were no
doubt stole by whiskey runners en-
route to Canada.
