of California have been considerably larger thus far than those of last year, reflecting both the weakness of the local demand from canners and the curtailment, on account of spring frosts, of green fruit yields in Middle West Railroads of the state have amply prepared for the in. creased traffic .
 Gamers of fruit in the district will pack considerably less than last year, In California. the forecast gen. erally is from 50 to 75 per cent of the 1920 pack and in Oregon and Washington, where the industry is less firmly established, the reduction will probably be greater.
 Livestock Conditions Normal
 Range and pasture conditions for livestock continued normal through out the district with the exception of Arizona and Southern Utah, where deficient rainfall has caused short age of grass and water. Receipts of cattle and calves at the principal markets of the district during June were below those of a year ago. the decrease being most noticeable in Portland Prices of all kinds of live stock were slightly lower at the end of June than at thepbeginning of the month
 June production of lumber, as re- ported by the four lumber associa- tions of the districts was BIT ,605, ,O00 feet, the highest figure reached dur ing the current year, and 17,63O,0O feet or AS per cent greater than the May cut. In the corresponding weeks of 1920 the cut swasp reported to be 525. .63O,000 feet. sl Shipments and or dersa did not keep pace with the in creased cut and were less than in June, 1920, or May, 1921 Shipments decreased from 335.S05000 feet in May to 31S,697.00O feet in June. or AZ per cent, and were 154 per cent less than the June cut, stocks on hand at the mills being increased ac- cordingly. Orders received during the month totaled 292,190,O00 feet. with 342,724.OOO feet in
The Alaska daily empire., 1921-08-02

May a decrease of 147 per cent A large part of the orders received by the mills during the month called for mixed lots of lumber, whereas under normal conditions, many of these orders would be for straight cars of one kind of lumber.
 Oil Production Grows
 Average daily production of pc. troleum in California during June was 337 1925 barrels, an increase of 64,556 barrels a day compared with June, 1920, and of .524 barrels a day compared with May, 1921 Daily shipments in June were also greater than during the previous month, averaging 280,494 barrels, compared with 250,020 barrels, an increase of 30,424 barrels a day. Production con tinues greater than consumption, however, and stored stocks at the end of June totaled 29, ,76S,643 barrels. representing an increase of 1,713,933 barrels during the month.
 Unemployment in the district as q whole decreased during June. due largely to calls from agricultural sec tions for harvest hands in the grain fields and orchards. Labor condi, tions in the principal cities of the district are practically unchanged the large increase in the number of unemployed in San Francisco (due to the strike in the building trades) being more than offset by decreases in Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle.
 About Savings Deposits
 Savings deposits in this district Gas. reported by the 80 banks in the seven principal cities) declined 27 hundredths of 1 per cent during the four weeks ending June 15, the to- tai on that date being $750, ,3S6, ,0OO, as compared with $752,443,O 900 on May 15, and s693,O24,OO on June 15, 1920. The increase in savings deposits during the last year has been S.3 per cent. During the four weeks ending June 15, last, increases were shown in San Francisco, Oak land and Salt Lake City, and de- crease in Los Angeles, Seattle, Port land and Spokane.
 Building permits issued in the 20 principal cities of the district during June represented construction valued at $15, ,450, ,694, which was 4 per cent less than the value of permits issued during June, 1920. and 132 per cent less than the value of those reported in May, 1921

 The California crop of berries of all sorts is estimated to be slightly smaller than last year Strong winds of high temperature in the Sacra- mento valley caused a loss in the pear crop estimated at 5000 tons.

In Washington and Oregon the yields of all berries are. reported to be about 50 per cent greater than last year. and supplies now going to mar kets are temporarily in excess of the combined demands of the fresh fruit market and the canners.

us greater merchandise values to Of
fer than we have had for several
years. But we are going 10 go deep
or than that into tho matter Of SER
vice, and trim our margins OF profit
worry close IL we are intending to
forge ahead.
With overhead expense still high,
how are we going to offset the loss
OF close-trimmed profit margins?
There IS but one answer to that ques-
tton: Increased volume Of sales and
quicker turnover. and buy to-day,
sell tomorrow, and buy again next
day. That viii! keep stocks clean and
allow us to take advantage Of fall
ing markets. If some OF us had pur-
sued that policy in 1920 we would
hcya put in less slecpless nights
when prices began to hit the tobog-
gan and we were loaded with goods
bought at the high peak figures.
! sometimes think that merchants
have not got deep enough into the
study Of turnover; they have paid
little or no attention 10 the length
OF time merchandise has been in the
house. They have bought and stored
| away goods until such time as money
became an urgent need to meet OBJ
legations. then they hav, sold madly
and furiously, without considering
cost. A store should be like a city
water main-there should be q con-
slant flow OF goods from the back
door through to the front. When
merchandise is selected with care,
when due thought is given to the
demands OF your class Of trade when
buying is done conscrvatively and
discounts taken, there Is no reason
FOR goods remaining in the house.
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1921-03-16

If, perchance, mistakes are made in
purchasing, lower the price at once
and clear the merchandise without
delay.
And, now that we aie on the sub
ject Of quick selling and rapid turn
over, let me say few words about
the greet force that makes quick
selling possible-ADVERT I
find that some merchants do not
like the picture that the word ad-
vertising brings up. When you men
ton that word they have visions of
forced sales, sacrificed profits, big
bills from newspapers, and a general
feeling like "the morning after"
When you find a merchant who
feels like that about it, 90 and look
at some Of the advertising he has
put out. Read some of the state
ments he has expected the public to
believe and respond to. venture to
say you do not have to search far to
find the true reason for tho head
ache. Advertising has been horribly
misused. In many instances it has
carried thoughts and words that a
merchant would not dare to pass
out to his customers over the coun-
ter. 1t has been looked upon as a
means OF framing up cheap tricks,
with the idea that the public believes
everything that is seen in print. 1t
has failed, and it has deserved to
fail.
On the other hand, there IS anoth-
or kind OF advertising that has no
force because 1t says nothing. A
merchant goes to the markets and
spends days in selecting new and
attractive goods, with all sorts of
selling features that have appealed
to him when buying them. Does
he put these attractive features into
his advertising? Does he tell con
vincingly Just why the values are
so astonishingly good, the styles so
striking and attractive? He does not.

Paris Papers Gnvc Expression to
Views OH tho Subject.

The newspapers Of Paris, Of all
shades Of political opinion, devoted
not little space to comment on the
change Of administration at Wash
ington on March 4th, and in this
comment President Wilson's depar-
ture from the seat at the head of the
government is given more promi-
nence than Is allotted to spec
ulation on the ascendency Of Presi-
dent Harding. The Temps says:
president Wilson is an apostle;
he believes in principles as ono be-
lieves in God. He has failed in his
noble effort, as all are bound to fail
in an effort to put noble act above
human nature as 1t is constituted.
Woodrow Wilson will remain
however, as man who understood
that young Americas place was at
the side Of the Allies, and who dared
to unsheath the sword to defend
right and liberty. For this alone he
will remain forever in history as a
great American"
La Victoire says:
president Wilson leaves the
White House less triumphantly than
when he entered it four years ago
There is tragic grandeur in tho po.
litical and physical collapse Of man
who two years ago was the moral
dictator OF the Allied nations"
The Radical, which represents the
Left Center party, says:

WOMEN NAV v0TE---No roiI..
The New Law Does Not Garry Provi.
sion for Tax is General Opinion.
(The State, March l0.l

Women Of South Carolina will not
be subject to Foil tax in the coming
years because of their pa 'ticipation
in elections and primaric. in South
Carolina, according to the. opinion
Of a number Of lawyers. The bill
passed by the last Legislature gives
women equal rights in all elections,
but does not refer to poll tax or any
tax, merely placing the constitution
al requirements on them the same as
on men.
The constitution says that a voter
must have paid "ali taxes" includ-
ing poll tax, before being allowed to
participate in general election. The
section in regard to the voting uses
tho word him" in all instances and
never mentions cher"
Attorney General Wolfe has al
ready held that the women will not
be subject to the tax and reiterated
his former statement when asked
about the matter yesterday. The
Federal constitution gives women
the right to vote in all general elec-
tions. and the recent law here gives
thcm primary rights equal to those
OF men. The Sapp bill. passed, rati-
fed and now law, giving the women
this primary right, is as follows:
ITO confer upon women the right
to vote in all elections. Be it enact
ed by the General Assembly Of the
State Of South Carolina:
"Sec. I. That hereafter all women
who have attained the age of 21
years and upward shall have and on
Joy all the rights and privileges of
qualified electors, upon complying
with all the provisions OF the consti-
tuition defining the right of qualified
electors for men, and shall be enti-
tied to vote as such electors, when so
qualified, in all elections hereafter
held in the state: Provided. that
disqualifications Of the constitution
now applying to men shall also apply
TO women"

Sound Advice to Retailers by EEVyl
Prominent Columbia Merchant
r. b. Shackelford Points Out Constructive Sales
Building Program in Address to Rock Hill
Chamber of Commerce.

The following address was deliv-
cred recently before tho Retail Mer-
chants Bureau OF lthe Rock Hill
Chamber OF Commerce and Is repro
duced from tho Rock Hill Herald:
Business conditions are in con-
stant state OF change and evolution.
The mind OF the buying public
changes with the change OF condi-
tions. Last year we merchants wor-
ried ourselves trying TO find goods
elaborate and expensive enough to
meet the public taste; there was a
demand for everything we could Sc
cure. 1t was a sellers market.
To-day we are confronted with an
exactly opposite set OF conditions.
Sales must be forced-unusua val
ucs offered to coax the shy dollar
from its retirement. It's buyers
market.
Tho Rotarians have slogan which
says, He profits most who serves
best and with buyers market
ahead OF us for 1921. 1t will be well
for tho retailers TO keep those words
in mind.
What sort Of service will force
business ahead in 1921? Arc we go.
ing to meet tho damand for lower
prices by lowering the standard OF
merchandising? think not Our
customers have had taste OF the
best, and they are not going to be
satisfied with inferior goods. A taste
for tho luxurica remains. ever
though tho purchasing power has
been reduced.
How. thon. shall wo meet these
conditions?
Lower wholesale prices are, OF
course, going to help somo and give
