The Tired Clerks.

Now the Christmas times are
ended, and the clerks no longer wait
on the shoppers, rich and splendid,
selling doll and roller skate; still
their feet are sore with blisters, come
from waiting on the sisters and the
madams and the misters who did
all their shopping late. Christmas
brings to other mortals all the JOY
their hearts can know; all the air IS
full of chortles, human faces shine
and glow; but the clerks who do the
selling! In their eyes the tears are
yelling, and they find their ankles
swelling as they scamper to and fro.
Oh, the Tired Clerks selling slippers
in the busy haunts of trade, selling
tin and pewter dippers, seeing tons
of candies weighed! Tears of bitter
brine they mingle when they hear
of old Kriss Kringle, OF his sled and
bells that jingle through the frosty,
moonlit glade! Christmas brought
the clerks disaster. endless tasks
and futile sprints; with their legs IN
casts of plaster and their feet done
I'D in splints, they are beaten, worn
and weary, and their eyes are tired
and Dleary, ana tney NlulleI ldH-
guage dreary, mutter words of SOM
Der tints. Let US do our Christmas
shopping ere the year has reached
its prime, custom and convention
dropping, do a little at time; then
the Weary Clerks will bless US,
crowd around US and caress us, say
ing: You'll no more distress us
with a custom that's a crime !"

facturers of glassware who furnished

While agreeing that the World

that he did not regard it as a pana-

cannot afford to adopt a solution
which appears to be very attractive
now. but which later may not achieve
as much good as had been antici-

Chauncey NJ. Depew. president of the
Pilgrims, in introducing Viscount Cecil
said, in part:
Celebration of Peace.
1.-THE English speaking peoples of the
world understand each other better and
have become centuries nearer each other
during the last two decades. Our meet
ings were peculiarly thrilling when
met to welcome the mission which came
to us during the great war and after

conference, the one which met In Wash

and far-seeing citizens and friends of

which should be applied to the promo

Wilson threw the competition open in
order to give the whole world an oppor-
tunity to obtain the honor which would
go to the man who had done most for
the promotion of the peace of the world.
The contestants were many and dis
tinguished, but with singular unanimity
the judges selected Viscount Cecil"

Up TO COMMISSIONERS

T. j. Stockdale of Prosser was in
White Bluffs last Saturday securing
signatures to a petition urging the
county commissioners to give careful
consideration to the needs of a new
court house at this time and if they
find that such a need exists to pro-
coed with the plans of the building.
There was some talk while back
of having a special election this fall
to let the voters in the county decide
the question but it appears that there
is no law authorizing the commission
ers expend county funds for such an
election, which puts the question of
building solely up to the commission
ers. All three commissioners are said
to be convinced in their own minds
that if the county records are to be
properly safeguarded the building
Of a new court house is the prac-
teal and economical thing to do but
they hesitate to take such action
without some definite expression from
the voters.
Mr.. Stockdale said he secured a
large number of signatures to the
petition in White Bluffs.-White

HOME TRADE IS
VITAL TO TOWN
Pouring Resources Thru
Home Channels Builds
up Community

The chief argument in favor of
home trade is the fact that it not
only rebounds to the benefit of all
residing in the adjacent trade terri
tory which is a part of every COM
munity but pays in dollars and cents.
Every dollar sent away to build up
business in some big city is just that
much taken away from the resources
Of the home community.
If people will only figure up the. in
cidental costs and conveniences oc-
casioned by sending out Of town for
anything that can be purchased in
their home town they will readily see
that it pays to trade at home It is
customary to ignore such items, but
they are there just the same and are
part of the cost of the goods that
are purchased in that manner. For
instance, the cost of a trip to the
city, hotel bill, time wasted away
from employment, goods brought
home that are not really needed,
higher prices actually paid for the
goods on account of the stupendous
overhead of the big city stores. All
this means cost and must be charged
up against the purchases if one is
honest with oneself.
In case of mail order purchases
there are money order and postage
fees express or freight charges, time
wasted and delay in waiting for the
goods, annoyance of exchanging the
goods that do not fill the bill, or that
do not measure up to the grade ex-
pected-these and many other charg-
es of like nature should honestly be
figured up against purchases. If this
is done and quality of goods COM
pared it will be found that it is a
case of trying to lift yourself by your
bootstrings. There is no easy way
to secure goods for less figure than
they can be supplied by the exper-
fenced business man of Kennewick.
Perhaps nothing is studied any
closer than the retailing of merchan-
disc and you can safely figure thas
your live home merchant is working
Hdfu To SEIZURE Tie UGSC OI lllSTCUdi-
disc to place before his customers at
the lowest possible figure consistent
with sound business principles. And
in this day of keen competition there
are few business men who do not run
close to the danger line in fixing
prices that will attract trade and
meet competition anywhere.
1t is only necessary to use common
sense in dealing with these prob
lens. The field is open to all who.
may wish to enter any line Of bust
ness, and if there were big profits
to be made that condition would not
last for every opening for business
is carefully searched out. and com
petition has reduced everything to
the level Of lowest possible prices.

Reporter will be found the special adj
vertisements of business men of Ken
newick who are interested in getting
tn facts of the value of home trade
before the people.
