MAM-oRDER BUYING POPULAR.

Charlotte Amalia, st. Thomas, v. l.
st. Thomians have been bitten by
the mail-order bug. Pretty catalogues
from American mail-order houses are
to be seen everywhere, and postal rec
ords indicate that goods amounting to
81 900 day are delivered in st. Thorn
as alone by parcel post on c. 0. D.
basis.
Merchants are indignant that their
stores should be thus sighted, but
give as a reason for their inability to
compete in price with the mail-order
houses the fact that they are still
loaded up with high-price goods de-
livered to them by American manu-
facturers and explorers as soon as
shipping facilities were available aft
er the war.
Those who buy by mail say they are
able to make considerable saving by
buying in the United States, and they
are becoming more and more fixed in
the habit of ordering from catalogues.
Mailorder buying has become such a
habit that it is said to be a frequent
occurrences for clerks working in the
stores to buy by mail, rather than to
purchase where they are employed.
One merchant said it was not only
the fact that saving might be made,
but that mail-order buyers liked to
receive pleasantly worded acknowl-
edgements of their orders, and other
letters from the mail-order houses.
Many of the purchases are for small
amounts on which the buyer will send
two or three dollars in advance, hop
ing to have sufficient money to pay
the balance when the G. o. D. par
cells arrive. When the shoes or hat
or suit comes to hand and the bal
ance of the money has not been earn
ed, many of the parcels have to be
returned, and-the prospective purchas-
er loses his initial payment

actual figures on so per cent of his
costs. and had to estimate the other

havior in prison and everything going
right, he may get out by Septem Der,
1928, and get a chance to spend those
four million dollars that his LAWYERS
say his land is worth, since oil has
been discovered
Hays says he owns the land-aboht
a quarter of a section of it. But
that's all he has to say. It's some
where in the northern part of Old
Mexico. Prison officials have seen
the kilograms from the lawyers and
letters. The prisoner, who may be a
millionaire, came to the penitentiary
December ?, 1921, from st. Joseph,
Mo, convicted of forging a draft.
When he gets out-well, if these
lawyer gentlemen are right looks like
a boy ought to be able to get a sight
of noble food and good clothes and
three or four red automobiles for four
million dollars.
'Sho' gets old, maxim these ole jail
shirts, when a fellow maybe is a mil
lionaire," lows Mr.. Hays.
Hays has served one term in the
federal penitentiary at Leavenw orth,
it was learned here today.
