The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1921-06-22

of the largest mail order houses had
total sales in February, 1921, of about
$4,000, 900 as compared with S2S,000,-
900 in February, 1920. Another had
sales in February, 1921, of approx
mately $5,50O,O0O as compared with
over $11,0O0,GOO during February,
1920. This condition is general.
It appears that the mail-order
houses are endeavoring to sell mer
chandise based upon prices quoted in
catalogues printed over year ago.
The prices quoted and being charged
are in some instances from Is to so
per cent higher than those quoted and
charged in community retail stores.
The time has come when people should
see the advantages of supporting
home business enterprises, not only
for the interest Of the Individual, but
for the good Of the community at
large.
The welfare of the community is
largely dependent upon the success of
it's merchants and the prosperity of its
population. It is a well known fact
that mail-order houses pay no taxes
except in cities where they have their
headquarters, or own property. They
do little or nothing toward assisting
numerous movements promulgated
from time to time for community bet
terment; they build no roads; they
contribute nothing to schools, ibrar
les, churches or any other activity
which make our community worth liv-
ing in.
The volume of business lost by mail
order houses indicates that the conf
dence of the public may be shifting to
the retail merchant where it belongs.
The home retail merchant has, as a
rule, been fair; has labored faithful
ly to serve efficiently, and has worked
for only fair margin of profit. The
public should show it's appreciation of
the fact that town merchants are sup
r;ving goods at fair and honest prices,
while mail-order houses are evidently
maintaining any prices.
! The very nature of the mail-order
business makes the present situation

Dr.. Berry Rides Bronze
Horses of st. Marks

Most people know of the noted
bronze horses over the portico of the
cathedral of st. Marks, Venice. They
are of heroic size and are numbered
among the great works Of art. Be-
cause of their great value they were
removed from their pedestal at great
expense during the war for fear lest
some daring Austrian aviator might
attempt to destroy them. DR.. Berry

Keep Boosting.

There's no good in roosfing like
owls on limb; there's more sense in
boosting with ardor and vim. There's
no good in viewing all things with dis
may; far better be hewing some elm
every day. There always are knock
ers enough in town; the grouchy
old takers run everything down; they
kick if we're growing, they kick if
we're not, wet blankets they're throw
ing till everyone's hot. Unpopular
geezers, whene'er they appear, these
old Ebenezers who knock by the year.
They're whiskered and frowsy, they're
not up to date, they always are
drowsy save when they crate, save
tax, and YEARLY picking the burs
when they are kicking because of some
from their backs. The custom of
knocking, if given full play, is
thoroughly shocking, it makes men de-
cay. The habit of looking all clipper
and bright, instead of gadzooking and
cussing all night, will make you a
winner, whatever your trade, oh, tan
ner and timer and man with spade!
There's no good in cawing and croak-
ing like crows, and drearily drawing
blue prints Of your woes; far better be
singing some madrigal dope, and
cheerily springing package of hope.

From Reno Tests
Parts Of Globe
TANLAC ELEMENTS COME FROM
MANY LANDS FAR AWAY
FROM HERE.

The ingredients from which the
celebrated medicine Tanlac is made,
come from remote sections of the
earth, and are transported thousands
of miles over land and sea to the great
Tanlac Laboratories at Dayton, Ohio,
and Walkerville, Canada.
The Alps, Apprentices, Pyrenees,
Russian-Asia, Brazil, West Indies,
Rocky Mountains, Asia Minor, Persia,
India, Mexico, Columbia and Peru are
among the far away points from which
the principal properties of this re-
markable preparation are obtained.
What is said to be the largest phar-
maceutical laboratory in the United
States has been completed at Dayton,
Ohio, for the manufacture of Tanlac
which, according to recent reports,
is now having the largest sale Of any
medicine of it's Kind in the world;
over 20,000,000 bottles having been
sold in six years.
The new plant occupies 10000
square feet of floor space and has a
daily capacity Of $4,000 bottles. Uni
form quality is guaranteed by series
of careful inspections by expert chem
lists from the time the roots, herbs,
bark and flowers are received in their
rough state from all parts of the globe
until their medicinal properties have
been extracted by the most approved
processes. The finished medicine is
then bottled, tabled and shipped out to
tens Of thousands of druggists
throughout the United States and
Canada to supply demand never be-
fore equalled by this, or any other
medicine

Mail Order Houses
Have Heavy losses
GET IN BAD TRYING TO SQUARE
THEMSELVES AFTER
BIG WAR.

In a recent article prepared and
tacirculated by the Public Welfare Ser
vice Of the Northwestern Rharmaceu-
ttical bureau, present conditions with
regard to the mail order houses, are
outlined. It is asserted that by reason
of the fact that these Institutions are
unwilling to dispose of their goods
at present prices, but are holding, them
at values quoted in last years cata-
logues, custom is falling off.
Advantage Home Merchants.
This condition should be taken adj
vantage of by the home merchant. His
wares and the prices they are sold
at can be conveyed to the public by
iudicious use Of advertising space. If
The home merchant desires to put a
crimp in the mail order house bust
ness, now is the time to corral the
trade, which has been going to these
big concerns for years. Hit the nail
on the head by advertising goods in
competition with the mail order hous-
RS.
Unwilling to Take a Loss.
The article referred to reads as fol-
lows:
The apparent unwillingness Of the
large mail-order houses to accept a
loss on the immense stores of mer-
achandise carried by them has brought
about tremendous decrease in their
sales during the last few months.
Reports show monthly losses in
sales running from $5,000,000 to $751;
900 900. The decreases amount to
n ere than 50 per cent of the usual
values of business. For example: One

For some time county auditor
A. O. Schmidt, has been under fire
as to conditions in the county audi
tors office. We have had little to
say with regard to the matter since
we felt the proper authorities who
had authority to go through the
books would either give the auditor
credit for efficiency in his work or
state officiallyany discrepancies or ir-
regularities in the office. The late
grand jury after going over the
figures found by the state public ex-
aminer's gdepartment recommended
his remoVaI by the governor. The
county commissioners in session
made the same recommendation. The
whole mattersi lis now before the gov
ernor who is asked to temporarily
suspend the auditor and apo mt
commission to make a full examina-
ton of the office and report to him.
In view of this friends of the auditor
have circulated petition asking for
his retention; and assuming there is
nothing in. the charges claimed
against him and that it political
move to remove him from his posi-
ton. In view of the fact that the
grand jury, body mostly composed
of farmers from all parts of the
county and of all political shades of
opinion were practically unanimous
in favor of his removal and the re-
port of the public examiner, signed

by the four examiners who
made examination of the affairs of
the office it would look to the aver
age citizen that in justice to Mr..
Schmidt they would instead court
the fullest investigation possible to
clear him, but even otherwise it is
due the people who pay the bills to
know if their interests at the audi
tors office are conducted in an eff
ficient and capable manner. Petit
tions without knowledge of the con-
ditions or facts really mean nothing,

The Slip" or ''Meet
Me at Morton Hill. y

1 believe we'll put the slip in the
first part, there really were two slips,
but not to exaggerate we'll put in
only one. Picture for yourself the
happy well-fed faces of a houseful of
wedding guests. All is peace and
calm, the guests are happily but
lazily planning their part in the next
act. The newlyweds must be given
the proper kind of send off, every
thing must be done according to form.
Sounds like the garden of Eden
doesn't it? But in the garden of
Eden there was snake. A car glides
in, the alderman within would like to
speak with the bride. So with sur
prised innocence in her eyes-we
couldn't see what was in her heart
she walked GU to the car. She stood

ed over, he touched the running board

guests-their chin props dropped

coming, sort of before and after

this much again, because it containes
the plot, and to get it you'll have to
read between the lines.
The leading characters, as you know
are married couple! sounds tame
doesn't it, but please don't crab be-
cause they had only been married an
hour or two. They were putting
something across, a grin DER spread
their face, joy dubbed in their hearts
and the sun was in the heavens. A
touch of nature is always good, l
think They approached the top of
the hill, they did not go "over the

ances they experienced the thrill of

little rock sitting on hill.
I wouldn't eat, l wouldn't
drink, wouldn't even wash.
I'd set and set thousand
years
And rest myself B'Gosh!
But wait, in the minds of each, a
far distant destination calls, and to
eliminate that distance there must be
motion. Something must be lost,
strayed or stolen. After a repeated
craining of their" necks and distract
ed looks our hero turns his faithful
steed and they HE themselves to the
nearest telephone. Listen, you staid
married men, imagine your feelings
on asking to use phone, being refus-
ed on the grounds that you were elop-
ing. Imagine clipping with ones own
wife! As if one couldn't see they
were already married. Isn't it the
truth every story has it's villianness!
Fooled, our leading characters re-
turn to the hill. Sadly they view the
animated boxes on wheels, bullying
with the near humans, in the valley
below and agree to beard the lions
in their den. If the baggage wouldn't
come to them they would go to the
baggage.

contact with the manufacturer and
jobber, can give the public a square
deal, even on a fuctuating and declin-
ing market.
There should be closer spirit of
cooperation between the home mer-
chant and the people of the communi-
ty. Never again should the public or
our merchants permit mail-order
houses to draw the resources from
the community as it did in pre-war
days.

How to Begin the Day,
From Marcus Aurelius.

Begin the morning by saying to
myself: l shall meet this day with
the busybody, the slanderer, the I'M
grateful, the arrogant, the deceitful,
the envious and the unsocial. All
these things happen to them by reason
of their ignorance Of what is good
and evil. But / who have seen the
nature of the good, that it is beautiful,
and of the bad, that it is ugly, cannot
be injured by any of them. No one
can fix on me what is ugly and can
not be angry with my neighbor nor
hate him. We are made for co-opera-
ton. To act against one another
therefore is contrary to Nature
working against the neighbor and
against self. I must therefore COM
mand myself to forgive, understand,
love always.

dugout. His injured knee is still
troubling him, and he took no active
part in the game until, as pinch Hit
ter, he flied out in the ninth inning.
Fans Side in First Inning
Waite Hoyt started the game with a
great flourish of assorted shoots.
"Bushmills" Jameson, the first man
up, stood at the plate bewildered while
Bill Dineen called him out on strikes.
Wambsganss managed to get on when
Pipp dropped McNally's rather bad
throw, but Hoyt promptly struck out
Joe Wood and Elmer Smith. The crowd
roared as the youngster returned to the
bench. These were the first of seven
strlke-outs put across by Hoyt in the
course of the game. and some of them
came at critical moments.
Larry Gardner opened the fourth
inning for Cleveland with a slashing
single to right. Joe Sewell followed
with hard base drive over McNally's
head: The ball eluded Ruth and rolled
to the fence, permitting Gardner to
cross the plate with the first run of the
game. Sewell came to anchor at third
on the play. Hoyt then relieved his
system of wild pitch and Joe rolled
across the pan. That is the sum total
of Cleveland's depredations for the
afternoon.
The Yarks came back in the same in
ming with lone tally when Ruth
bounced somewhat lucky double over
second base, took third on Meusel's
long fly to Jameson and scored on
Wally Pipp's twobase smash to center.
Win Game in the Sixth
The home talent tied the score and
won the game in the sixth. After
Sewell had collared Peck's fy Ruth
bounced his second double over second
1t was almost an exact counterpart of
the first. Bob Meusel was there in the
pinch and slammed a pretty single to
left. On the hopeless play to get Ruth
at the plate, Bob went to second and
scored easily on Pipp's timely tap over
Sewell's dome.
Ruth opened the eighth with his
third two-base smash, this one making
dent in the right field wall Meusel
sacrificed him to third, Coveleskie to
Johnston, and the faithful Pipp brought
him over with long sacrifice fly to
right.
The score:
