NEW OFFICE FORMED TO MEET
NEED FOR MARKETING IDEA

A statistical section has been es-
tablished in the Bureau of Markets.
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. to meet the need for accurate
and complete figures in working out
marketing problems. The statistical
section has already collected and
distributed in mimeographed form ex-
tensive data relating to marketing
conditions. receipts. shipments. sup
plies, prices, etc. This information has
been largely used in studying market
fluctuations over short periods. Many
of the files. however, now cover a
period OF years. and when these H.
CURES are tabulated, summarized, and
analyZed by a competent statistician
they should indicate significant trends
and be of great assistance in the an
alysis of fundamental factors affect
ing marketing conditions. The data is
compiled from general rather than
special standpoint and is nation
wide rather than local In scope. Az
present, consideration Is being given
to the issuance of comprehensive
annual summary of marketing infor-
nation In statistical form.

ing this, are causing the reparations
commission much trouble by refusing
to produce, except under pressure,
the dyes most needed in the United
States. They are willing to offer large
quantities of dyes in competition with
the output of the new American dye
industry, but still are making excuses
for failure to produce noncompeti.ive
dyes. Thus they hope to encourage
consumers to demand an open market.
Also, in this manner, with the ex-
peDience of her SO years world mono
poly of dye manufacture against five
many hopes to throttle the American
industry and leave America helpless
in this respect should there be an
other war.
German production of dyes is so
closely allied with her production of
munitions that a separation is i'm
possible. Destruction of one would
mean the destruction of both. Students
of the German proposals now in Paris
consider that merica is the last hope
the German manufacturers have, and
they will not give up as long as Amer
ical disarmament can be accomplished
by law similar to that of Great Bri-
tain. They see, further, that real chem
ical disarment can be accomplished
only by breaking Germany's monopoly
of the dye industry and encouraging
the building up of a similar industry
in all the countries of the entente,
and especially in the United States"
1t is the absolute truth that the
United States is the only important
nation actually at the mercy of the
German chemists"
The War Trade Board, which now
protects the American dye industry,
will go out of existence March 4 un-
less funds to finance its activities
are provided, and it will go out of
existence anyhow so soon as peace is
concluded The dye industry, there
fore, is nearing hour by hour the day
when it will be at the mercy of the
Germans. That will not be long. Pri-
vate industry does not possess the
power of taxation and cannot long
If there is no inhibitory legislation,
enought dyes can be dumped on our
shores within few months to swamp
the market.
1t is difficult to speak with moder-
alton of those Senators who have
resorted to the filibuster and every
other technical device of legislators
to delay and prevent enactment of
the dye bill. Be their motives what
they may, the fact remains that their
course is exactly the course that is
most acceptable to the Germans.
There is no one thing Berlin more de-
sires than the failure OF the Long
worth bill. Men who shape their course
in congress SO as to support policy
obviously beneficial to our enemies
and destructive to the United States
necessarily are objects Of suspicion.

But we should bear our share of the

So Mrs. Brown put on the coffee pot.
Saw the mince pie was piping hot;
There was brown bread. cold ham
and some baked beans,
The glasses were polished. the
linen was clean.
The deacon led Dobbin out Of his stall.
Dobbin was quiet, he wouldn't run
Ma got her dress with green satin
collar
They sure were surprised what
they bought for a dollar.
Went back to the farm and to work

There is evidence in Paris, where

England has a new law, operative

as she produces and admits those she

800 Square Feet 10 Years Ago.
5000 Square Feet Today

FTHE 0sgoods record Of achievement is summed up in the sizo
y Of our present store space as compared to our modest be,
ginning ten years ago..
Year after year the Osgoods patronage has grown until today
this business ranks among the largest of its kind in the state
And in keeping with the business growth it has been necessary
to continually enlarge our floor space, our stocks and our facil.
ties enabling proper service to the buying public.
Today we maintain remarkably large assortments of typicaIy
"best quality" womens wearing apparel and millinery. tt is not
an idle boast to claim there are no finer lines Of merchandise
available than we offer. The statement is oftimes confirmed by
those who visit other cities and find in nationally reputed stores
the very same standard lines we offer in Fairmont.
In.the matter of prices we have always recommended that finer
quality merchandise is cheaper in the end. The greater service
obtained from good things represents more than one might save
on the initial cost of cheaper articles.
Yet, Osgoods prices are not high or unreasonable. Our business
would not have grown to its present high standing if we charged
our patrons more than the worth Of our merchandise.
Stop in and consider our offerings. You will learn why this store
is one Of the many institutions which are keeping Fairmont in
the front rank Of e~nterprising and progressive small cities.
