the shaping Of all legislation affecting
the state in any way.
Steps toward this end were taken
before the close of the last session.

Tells Of Debt to the Colonel
With a shy smile, the white-haired
and bluc-eyed woman who represents
the Muskogce district confded that the
proudest day of her life had just been
made doubly good. She said she had
met Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth in
the corridor and that they had talked
for some minutes.
"You don't understand" she con-
tinued. Back In the old days, when
things were not going as nicely as
now. her father, then President, helped
me greatly.
"My mother was an invalid and ! had
to be with her always. President
Roosevelt made me postmistress of
Muskogee, so ! could attend to mother
and keep the postoffice, too. There
were lot of others who wanted the
job, because it was one Of the best in
the Indian Territory. But he told me
| should keep it as long as he was
President. And he kept his word.
Mrs. Longworth knew about it, and
| am glad that to-day I have proved
his confidence in me-"
"And there's one other thing" she
called back. "Im not going to let
them call me Miss Robertson when
they call the roll. / want them to Just
say Robertson Why should they be
allowed to accentuate the fact Pm an

Harding Considers
Plans to Combine
Federal Bureaus
Bulk of Independent Agen-
cies Likely To Be Turned
Over to Interior and Pub
lie Welfare Departments

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 11.-Presidcnt
Harding is considering a plan which
would do away with much \of the con-
fusion which attends the present or
ganization Of all the government de-
partments and agencies.
Under the proposed scheme, which
was described to-day by a prominent
member Of the Cabinet as "the general
current of thought" at the White House,
the thirty and more Independent agen-
cies, including the Bureau Of War Risk
Insurance, the Railway Labor Board
ana other bureaus now directly respon-
sible to the President and independent
OF any of the old departm ents, would
be merged into the departments of
Commerce and the Interior. Any of
them not adaptable to either of these
probably would be formed into a new
department of public welfare.
The President is known to have been
considering, since the front porch days
at Marion, a plan greatly similar to
that now taking shape 1t was then
thought that large part of the over
tapping and duplication of work in
Washington could be eliminated by the
establishment of two new departments
one of public welfare, and another
to be known as the department of pub
lie works. Since then it has been de-
clded that department of public works
would unnecessarily split the Depart
ment of the Interior.

large number of the independent

all over the lot.
"These two could, therefore, easily
absorb many of these agencies, and
those not readily adaptable, including
all the soldier relief agencies, could
go under new department of public
works.
1t was also pointed out that such a
scheme dovetails with the general plan
of the recommendations of the Dawes
committee investigation soldier relief.
1t has been announced that the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Voca-
tional Training Board and other serv-
ice agencies are to be combined, Colo

DOES BUSINESSON
OTHER MANS CASH
Capital of the Mail Order House

Customers.
WORKS ALWAYS ON VELVET

NCOpyTlSHIt
1t is a mighty nice thing to be able
to do business on the other fellows
money, but there are few people who
can do 1t. Probably the only bust
ness men who, as a class, are able
70 do this, are the mail order men in
the big cities.
Did you ever stop to think-you,
who have ordered goods from mail
order house and there are probably
few who have not done that at some
time or Other-that you are supplying
the cash upon which the mail order
man is doing business? You are well
aware of the fact that your cash must
go with your order If you expect to re-
ceive the goods, but have you ever
stopped to think what that means? Do
you realize that you are supplying the
capital for business which is run
ming In direct competition with your
home merchants, upon whose prosper
ity you and your fellow tOwnsmen are
dependent for livelihood?
The majority of mail order houses
do not carry large stocks of goods.
They do not have to. When the mail
order man gets your order, accom-
panied by the cash, of course, he can
take part of your money and go to
the manufacturer or the wholesaler
and buy the article that Is wanted. The
rest of the money he can put down In
his pocket after paying his operating
costs, which are light when compared
with those of the merchant who must
carry large stock of goods to meet
the demands made upon him.
In Glass by Themselves.
There Is absolutely nc other class of
men who do business on the capital
furnished by their customers. Even
the retail store which sells for cash
only cannot do this for he must carry
a large stock and in most cases must
pay cash for 1t in order to get prices
that will enable him to make lower
prices to his customers than can be
made by the merchant who gives credit
to his customers.
The mail order man doesn't need to
have any of his own capital invested

cul, mole, squirrel or chinchilla are
winsome of course, though others have
decided charm.
New Screens
The home we have spoken of be-
fore but we forgot the screen, fur
nishing of infinite possibilities; you
remember what life-sayer is was for
the folks in Sheridan's School for
Scandal. That was performing in
pinch, of course, but every day in your
home a screen will afford protection
from drafts and it is full of decora-
tive possibilities for the out-of-the-or-
binary house; at least csc exotic ones
of brocaded tapestry in Chinese will
low pattern are, and also other newer
patterns.
Who in the world would ever expect
mats to put under hot dishes to follow
the styles, and let they have. Here
are mats today made en- toto of colored
beads, and you know what vogue
beads are enjoying. The mats are
most attractive and make tagle look
very gay and hospitable.
Satisfy the man by buying him some
bit OF wearing apparel; suit, pair
of shoes of new style, a necktie, muf-
fer, smoking coat, socks, handker-
chiefs or some other practical gift
Perhaps he needs a house desk,
stand or would enjoy box
OF cigars or carton of cigarettes. The
boy of all ages likes new wearing
and from toyland can be Sc
lected dozen different appropriate
gifts for him. The better part of his
Christmas must not be forgotten and
so the girl--the suggestions for her
would require another column.
Wausau merchants are still well
supplied for they've counted on big
shopping season that will continue
Saturday evening.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1921-12-22

Now that you are so busy with gifts
and thoughts of Christmas we sup
pose news" won't mean as much
to you as Christmas suggestions. More
briefly than in other weeks, we feel
it again our duty to offer what helps"
we can Discussions of shopping are
"all the rage and this column is
Just a reflection of eyeryone's thought
and talk.
Christmas purses and bags are
found at many stores in big assort-
ments. There are a large number
OF attractive designs, in leather for
the man and cloth for the woman, all
of which make useful and practical
gifts
Sometimes the child is a problem.
We like to give toys but at the same
time we often feel that something
more substantial is necessary for his
own good. Educational games are
fast winning approval and besides
giving the child an ocean of pleasure
they provide the opportunity for
thought and very frequently are the
foundation of learning.
And then, you know, there are two
things about which every woman is
ubLeTInlHbu lUlS WIlLcE anu tightly
too She must have high Spanish
comb and she must have feathers.
OF course, when these two things
come in one as they do smartly in
jeweled comb topped with gay feath-
ers there's nothing more that her
feminine heart may desire.
New Generation
Times have changed-you'ye heard
that often-in your day you were
probably desperately in love with

word from toyland says that the only
fit companion for this generations
youngsters is Teddy bear that walks

Perhaps the reason why access
sories make such appropriate gifts is
because they always are-or often
are--iust the extra" which women
like to have The dainty gift of neck

kerchiefs, silk hosiery--is always the
gift that fits in so we'll with a wom-

in his business-0r any large amount
of it, at least, in proportion to the vol
ume of the business which he does. He
does not have to pay interest to the
banks on money borrowed to help him
finance his business. The mail order
man figures that about one-half of the
amount he receives on any order goes
to the wholesaler or manufacturer In
payment for the goods ordered. OF
the remainder part goes for postage,
printing, maintenance Of Office and
plant, insurance, etc. What Is left,
which Is by no means an Insignificant
part of every dollar received, goes into
dividends to stockholders In the mail
order corporation. All this has been
done without any capital other than
that which may be required to pay Of
flee expenses.
Suppose, for a minute, that you did
business with the local merchants on
the same plan. Suppose that they did
not carry any goods in stock, that
when you wanted to buy something
you should go to one Of your home
merchants, look In his catalogue and
pick out an article that seemed to be
similar to the one that you wanted,
hand over the price as shown by the
catalogue and tell him to order 1t for
you. The merchant would take your
money and you would wait for your
goods until they arrived from dis
tant city.
: Not So Anxious.
But the people who make up any
community are not nearly as anxious
to furnish capital to the home mer-
chant-the man who helps make" the
town-as they are to the mail order
man in the far distant city, who does
nothing and cares nothing for the peo-
pie VINO furnish him the money on
which to do business. They insist that
the home merchant shall carry large
stock of goods from which they can
select what they wish, when they think
it is to their interest to buy from him.
They insist that he shall stand back Of
the goods he sells and make good any
defect that may appear In them. They
insist that he shall sell them what they
wish and wait for the money until they
get ready to pay it. They insist that
he shall sell goods at the same prices
or lower prices, than the mail order
houses charge for goods of poorer quail
ity. And finally they insist that TIE
home merchant shall furnish the large
amount of capital that is required to
conduct business on this PLAN
The mail order buyer may say that
he has the right to spend his money
anywhere he pleases and he has, legal
~. But he probably has never stopped
TO reflect on the fact that he is supply
ing the capita! for the operation Of
concern which is In direct competition
with enterprises in which he is directly
interested, for every man, woman and
child in a town is directly interested in
the success of the business enterprises
in that town. If these business enter
prises are not prosperous, the town
cannot be prosperous. To supply capt.
tai to your competitor is not very good
business,
