COST OF
FREIGHT CAN'T
BE DODGED
Merchants Pay II One Way or the
Other. and in the Last Analysis So
Must the Public.

Freight is that part of the actual
cost of merchandise which you pay
for its delivery to your store. This
part of the cost of goods necessarily
increases with the distance from mar
ket-so that actual costs really de-
pend upon the amount of freight you
pay. The merchant near market will
naturally mark his goods lower or
will make a greater profit than the
mechant far from market.
And, of course, every merchant adds
the cost of freight to the cost of the
article and figures his profit from the
total.
The thousands of keen drummers
who travel out Of smaller markets de-
pend for their bread and butter on
their ability to make the merchants
in their territory believe that high
rates make it impossible for them to
go to New York, Chocago, St. Louis,
Minneapolis or Dallas for goods. But
note this-one will always be in the
fog SO far as the question of freight
is concerned until he recognizes the
fact that freight is not expense but
investment-that it is as much part
of the cost of goods as the prices
named on the invoice.
The only thing that counts in the
net cost of the merchandise laid down
at your freight depot. When you go
into a store to buy pair of shoes for
$500 you don't care whether the clerk
charges you $2.75 for the right and
1925 for the left or So. so for each
shoe. You must have both and your
one care is that you get the best pos
sible pair for $500.
1t is the price that the goods cost
you laid down that counts. Whether
you pay more in price and less in
price, is immaterial.
Of the goods sold over the retail
counter in this country perhaps ninety
per cent are either made in the East
or imported at some port along the
Atlantic seaboard.
Someone pays the freight to your
store. When you buy Of local job
ber, you pay it in the form OF higher
prices.
So it makes no difference where you
are located whether you are near
market or far awaythe freight
question for you boils itself down to
the vital fact of actual laid down
costs.
of course, if you are far from
mal et, time must be factor in your
reckoI ing. While your freight costs
will EVENTUALLY be about the same, no
mattfr FROM whom you buy you will
have to anticipate your needs little
farther Ahead than if You were nearer
4 source sof supply.
1nasnukh A. freight is part Of your
sknerchandike cost, it should receive
q, same discriminating care that is
exercised y making any purchase Of
merchandise.

LIVESTOCK AND
THE JERSEY SHOW
At The State Fair at Jackson.

Never in the history of the state,
| has such dairy COW show been held
as was to be seen at our last State
Fair. For numbers and class this was
conceded by old herdsmen present to
be the biggest thing in the Jersey line
held &, the South this year. There
being 167 herd in barn.
Some of the best blood lines of the
Island and of American breeding were
there, and competition in every class
was indeed very keen. In fact so good
were the offerings, it was considered
quite an honor to have an animal
placed.
But, the outstanding feature of the
show, the one fact that looked so good
to evry one was the interest displayed
by the farmers of Mississippi and es-
pecially so Of the North Mississippi
farmers. From early morning until
late at night were walking through
the barns, asking questions, pricing
animals and gathering all information
possible They are realizing as never
before the necessity of pure bred dairy
cattle, what the cash from the cream
check means, what a difference in
price for the offspring of pure bred
and that of a grade, and market
always ready for a properly raised
animal, male or female.
The writer was very much gratified
to learn that Oxford was considered
to be one of the largest shipping points
for cream in the state. This indeed
sounded good when the gentleman
asked if / remembered when for nine
months my can Of cream daily was the
only one to leave Oxford. For, have
that honor, to ship the first can of
cream that ever left Lafayette county
for creamery. Mr.. Spawr joined me
nine months later and began to ship
Now it is not unusual to see 35 or 40
cans leave on our south bound train.
And there is money in it fellows. So
Let's Go. Get better bull, and
breed up. Make sacrifice; get a
pure bred heifer or two; scoop the
profit from sale of offspring. Raise
Ia type calf and watch them go to tip
top prices.
Your grade calves are worth about
$500 and $500, and they are just as
hard to raise as pure bred and cost
just as mucch. I do wish. that every
farmer in Lafayette county could have
been in Jackson, so that he might have
seen what some farmers of our state,
with no more capital, no more fixtures,
and applicances than we have here in
Lafayette county; are doing. Let's
Go. Wouldn't it sound good; wouldn't
it help everyone financially, lawyers,
bankers, merchants, editors, farmers
and etc, to have them say: Lafayette
county leads ii the pure breds. We
can do il, and not spend single dol
lar more, ii tAe long run, than We
are doing nov, but On the other hand

MADRID. May 13.-Alarm over re-
ports that Germany has decided to in
tensify her expectations of iron and
steel products to all parts of the world
is expressed in telegram received by
the minister Of commerce from the
Viscaya manufacturers league. The
telegram asserts that Germany's
prices will be theoretically low" and
urges it will be insufficient to apply a
customs tariff on German importa-
tons. Adoption of special measures
is urged to prevent thousands of
workers from being impoverished, and
Spanish manufacturers ruined"

WAYNE FARMERS ASK
SERVICE OF FEDERAL
FARM LOAN SYSTEM

Loans to IL farmers of Wayne coun-
ty which amount to $99,S00 have been
approved and will be closed as soon
as the abstracts of title are delivered
says N. G. Mckinley, secretary-treas-
urer of the Richmond Farm Loan asso-
citation
A letter which Mr. Mckinley has re-
ceived from Louisville where the Fed
eral Farm Loan bank for this district
is located, states that since the SUI
preme court had handed down a fav-
orite decision as to the constitution
atty of the farm loan law, that bank
had sent out 2289 application forms
to associations in the district. OF
these, 1043 were returned with appli-
cations for loans aggregating $4.995,-
800. The average loan now is $4,S0C
in comparison with $500. before the
system was tied up in the courts. On
account of the big demand for the
money, Mckinley states that it is i'm
possible to care for lal applications as
as fast as they come in. However
the association expects to fill lal ap-
plications within 80 to 80 days.
fill all applications within 80 to 80
days.
Two bills are in congress now which
ere designed TO reneVe the money
shortage until investment in bonds
resume the usual rate. One would APP
propriate $10O,0O.0O0 to purchase farm
loan bonds, the other would establish
a revolving fund of $50,000,0O0 for
purchase of bonds whenever the pub
lie is slow to invest Either bill would
bring much relief say the Louisville
authorities. by making funds available
for agriculture through the federal
farm loan system.
The $40,00O,000 bond issue which
was offered for sale Immediately after
the supreme court decision has all
been disposed of, but owing to the
great demand for loans, it is possible
! that another issue will be offered
soon.
