Mail Order Houses Booming.

Sales totals Of the great mail order
houses show an enormous increase,
particularly in strictly farming Sec
tons.
This is not pleasant news for re-
tail stores in our average small town,
but is what they may expect.
There is only one way in which
the lnsidious mail order campaigns
can be combatted, and that is by To-
cal merchants frankly explaining
their merchandising possibilities to
the people through advertising.
II is a well-known fact that the big
mail order concerns maintain depart
ments Of considerable magnitude to
check up on the towns where the
local merchants appear to lack enter
prise.
There they concentrate their bat
teries of advertising and catalogue
distribution.

pers in a town where the local mer-
chants advertise consistently, be-
cause the mail order men know they
cannot compete with the local store

The cheapness with which the big
mail order mar can buy is more than
offset by the low overhead the local
merchant can get along with.

local merchant must not hide his
light under q bushel.

saw in their minds all unfit men
Sinking from such a contest. 1t was
believed that no opportunity for cor
rupuon at the polls could exist. The
dream of the pioneer pleaderS for the
primary system was that it would
make the good citizen a power for
honest political rule, and that he
could never be overthrown.
No such results have come in Mis-
souri, from the use of the primary
nominating system. Aside from
bringing prosperity to printers and
publishers and sign painters and
multiplying the number of paid work
ers in a campaign, there has been
little actual benefit to the cause of
good government. On the other
hand, much harm has been suffered
by true interests of the people in
their political life.
The reform of the primary system
must come. Its sensible development
is now seen to be neceSSary-itS
needed changing from a machine
supposedly self-operating to a system
in which the brains and experience
of party leaders will be called upon
to serve the public. The primary
system as now employed does not dc
this, 1t is too easily captured, more,
over, by those skilled in political
cunning.-St. Louis Times.

eel post, rapid transit and good roads
are going to change the business con-
dihonS and business houses will have
to meet it. There is no use to urge
the people to buy at home as a SEN
timentsl proposition. 1t won't work.
1t hasn't worked. People buy from
ads and there are two things in an
advertisement that the customers
must know. They must know what
an article is going to cost them and
they must know the quality of the
article. This is the first principle of
advertising, and it is the principle
upon which the great mail order
houses have been built. Local bus
mess houses must recognize it SOON

going to be too at ,-Canyon City

Primary System Has
Lost Popularity.

The chief charge against the pri-
mary system of making nominations
for Office, as that system pertains in
this state and many others, is not
merely that it is cumbersome, expen-
siye TO candidates and state and in
capable Of awakening interest on the
part Of the voter.
For these conditions are really but
Insignificant compared to the larger
allegation lodged against the system
now in vogue. That sin is its inabil-
ity to serve the public welfare.
II is TOO often a means Of an un-
known man riding into political pow
er. 1t makes wise choice of candi-
dates difficult, and sometimes impos-
sible. 1t demands that the aspirant
TO official honors neglect his bust
ness and at great inconvenience and
expense to himself and his friends
enter upon a canvass whose outcome
cannot be accurately forecasted.
While this latter requirement is an
embarrassment to the Office seeker
rather than the people, on its face,
it actually harms the public in a
greater degree because it deters
many good men from entering Off
cial life.
Then, TOO, the primary plan as now
generally employed does not accom-
plish the end which it was chiefly
designed to serve. 1t is no safeguard
against trickery.

The Great American Bell.
BY RICHARD LLOYD JONES,


In practically every home on farm
and in town, in every shop and store,
factory and Office there is a little
bell behind which is a story of ro-
nance and before which is a wonder
full world that il made less wide. That
is your telephone bell.
We used to call hello across the
field. This little bell now carries our
hello across the continent. The far
mer who was ten miles away from
town had to harness his horse and
drive the old spring seat for better
than an hour TO deliver 4 simple bus
mess message, Now he rings the
little bell and in two minutes the
business is done.
With equal ease the business man
in Minneapolis confers with his Gus
toner in New Orleans and the New
York lawyer talks to his San Fran
cisco client.
Imagine what it would be to be
without it. How strange that scien-
tihc men of forty-six years ago view
ed it with suspicion.
On the first day of this month in
his Nova Scotia summer home, Alex
ander Graham Bell, the inventor of
the telephone, died in his seventy
fifth year. His death brought back
the story of the advent of the tele-
phone.
Bell was highly educated in the
scientific schools Of Scotland and
England. As a young man he was a
professor of science in Boston Uni
versity. He married the daughter of
a wealthy merchant. He joined the
family in extending to her especial
tender consideration for she was
deaf. He resolved to use his scien-
tifc knowledge to perfect a device
that would give her an artificial ear
drum that his voice might carry to
her. For a year he experimental ir
his father-in-law's barn. He failed
to find a way to carry his voice to his
beloved and afflicted bride, but that
romantic effort brought to him the
instrument that has carried the hu-
man voice over seas and across con-
tinents.
His father-in-law lost his fortune.
This invention rebuilt it beyond the
proportions Of all former dreams.
In 1876 Mr.. Bell carried his newly
patented invention to the Philadel-
phia exposition where our nation eel
ebrated its Centennial. But no one
noticed the telephone. Popular in
terest seemed TO center in the butter
lady, moulded out Of New York's fa-
nous Herkimer County butter.
Scientists assembled there but
even they were not attracted. At last
two Of the more eminent consented
to look at the odd little device. One
spoke into the mouthpiece, another
at a distance listened at the receiver
MY God, il talks" the latter cri.
ed. And then the telephone came
1t is in your house and my house
your shop and my shop. Our life i:
now built to be dependent upon it.
On the first Of this month few tool
notice Of the passing Of this grea
benefactor Of mankind. He shorten
ed distance, saved time; sped up al
the wheels Of industry and promoted
commerce. He was a great progress
maker. Mr.. Bell sent our hello ev
erywhere. He brought us the LITTLE
bell that we have made the Grea
American Bell. II is the little bell tina
calls us to its bidding more than an,
bell the world has ever known.

FOR CHARLESTON YARD
Inquiry Shows No Trouble is Being
= Anticipated.

Inquiry at Washington develops the
fact that there is no trouble about
the swo Charleston appropriation
items for which Secretary Of the Navy
Denby recently requested special leg
islation in letter to the Speaker
of the House.
One Of these items was for con-
tinuing the dredging at the yard,
and the other was for magazine
for warheads at one Of the piers.
The amount carried by each item,
and approved by tie budget directors
and the president, is $4,000.
The authorities of the appropria-
ton committee hold that no special
legislation is required for these pro-
jects and they propose to take care
of both items in the regular routine
way in the forthcoming naval ap-
pro o,riation bill. One of the MEM
bers of the subcommittee which will
prepare and handle this bill is Rep
resentative James F. Byrres, Of South

TO BE SOLD AT PUBLIC AUCTION
Government Sale of Camp Lee on
February 9th.

Beating swords into plowshares is
not as simple as it sounds, in fact
the business Of salvagirg the war
machine which goes tc salvage heap
is no less intricate than interesting.
Interesting is the home builder as
we'll as the dealer, interesting to the
bargain hunter, as nobody knows what
the material will bring.
By order of the Secretary OF War,
the next big army camp which goes
to the scrap heap will be Camp Lee
ar Petersburg, Va. This will be sold
in its entirety, at auction, beginning
February 9Th and continuing until
completed.
Mr.. D. C. Clarke, president of the
Louisville Real Estate and Develop
ment Company of Louisville, KY,
who has been accorded this duty,
has already arrived at Petersburg
with a score of assistants.
In order to simplify the details OF
this immense auction, the entire camp
has been divided irto twelve different
areas with the contents of each list
ed separately. The idea of this is
two-fold, first to give the home build
er, the small buyer and dealer an op-
portunity to bid in such goods as he
may require, and also to facilitate
the movement of the immense equip
ment without confusion and delay
Selling a camp like Camp Lee is
no new thing to Mr.. Clarke and his
organization, as he has successfully
handled for the government propo.
sitions of similar nature involving
millions of dollars in other parts Of
the country.
