IM selling better quality goods
on a closer margin of profit
In 1925 than in 1924" Jud Mccarthy,
owner of Jud's Mems buds furnish
ings stores, said today.
a smaller amount of money Is
made on each article and the
merchants depend on the large
volume of business for their profit.
They clear more in the long run and
at the same time benefit the con-
sumer, Mccarthy said.
Business is good" says John
Kirkwood, manager Of the mems
furnishings department of Schloss
Brothers clothing store. The gen.
eral volume of business for 1925 is
equal or better to that Of 1924, most
of the merchants find.
The last three months of this
year will find a larger volume of
business than for the corresponding
period in 1924. October was above
the average; from the merchants
standpoint, but November was rather
poor. Because of the slump last
month, a squirt in business is ex-
.pected for this month.
m HE annual flood OF Christmas
shopping for most of the
- stores. started the middle OF
last week. This was earlier than
the previous year and some Of the
stores expect the buying to be COM
pleted several days before Christmas.
In the past six months the average
man has been purchasing better
quality goods. He prefers to pay
more and get material that will last
longer. One store manager pre-
dicted the end Of the cheap sales. ="
Others, however. find the plan
very profitable and say some men
still prefer the cheaper quality
goods.
The silk lounging robe is becom-
ing popular with men. More Of
these articles are sold than before.
They supplant the bath robe and
the blanket coat.
HaJdInaS are Delhs uSeu moIe anu
men are getting the higher priced
sleeping garments.
Sales on sport stuff for the COM
ing year are reported in increased
volume. Heavy sales are made in
the golf line especially.
4" BETTER business for 1926
| M is confidently Dredicted nv
IL Mccarthy. January's sales
will be good. but some believe Febru-
airy will slump below normal. Bust
ness in the spring probably viii set
records for increased volume. it has
been forecast.

WHEAT PRICES
SOAR SHARPLY
Indications of Good Exports
Causes Rise.

BB United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. Wheat scared
sharply in opening buying on the
Chicago Board of Trade today.
Coarse grains followed.
Aggressive speculative interest en-
couraged by indications Of good ex-
port business sent wheat up &c and
&c. Large local operators were ac-
tive in reinstating. There was
brisk short covering.
Corn futures were fairly active.
The lighter movement and unfavor'
able weather brought in a more ac-
tive cash demand.
Oats made moderate gains with
other grains.
Provisions held steady without
features.

titiOns.

Although applications Of the Peo-
pies Motor Coach Company for three
new bus lines in Indianapolis have
been on file with the public service
commission more than a week, no
hearing date has been set as yet.
John w. McCardle, chairman of
the commission, said it would be
some time before the commission
could dispose of pending applications
already pending. McCardle said his
working force has been crippled by
the economy program of the State
budget committee.

the most telling orator of his time.
When Henry Ward Beecher was
asked how 1t was that he prepared
his sermons that drew thousands TO
his church Sunday by Sunday, he
quietly observed that his whole life
sermon material. He saw sermons
in stones. he found them in the flow
ers of the field. he heard them In
the songs of birds, indeed, the whole
world was his library, and the salts

soul he understood and interpreted.
Among the medical aphorisms Of Hip
pocrates is the following: Life is
short. art is long, opportunity fleet
ing. experiments uncertain and judg-
ment difficult Another wise man
has said, More men have ruined
themselves than have ever been de-
stroyed by others. More houses and
cities have perished at the hands of
man than storms or earthquakes have
ever destroyed" Alexander could
conquer a world at 33. but for lack
of a well ordered life he fell a victim
to his own weaknesses.
Too much cannot be said about the
value of living by a schedule. and
possibly nothing is more difficult to
learn to practise.
We have sometimes wondered at
the protracted periods of reflection
in which the Master of men indulged.
He began His life with withdrawal
into the wilderness for 40 days. Now
and again he left the haunts of men
and sought the solitude of the noun
tains. In a little house in Bethany
He passed quiet hours, and there he
uttered one of the mightiest truths
that ever fell from His divine lips.

He neared it's climax we read that
He set His face steadfa silly to go up
to Jerusalem" Those who knew the
inevitable end of this pilgrimage
sought to restrain him, but he brush
ed them aside with the clear con-
viction that the time had come for the
demonstration of the supreme pur-
pose of His mission. He knew that
a cross stood at the end Of His lonely
way, and yet He knew that 1t was by
the way of the cross He was to draw
all men unto him.
If we would emulate His life and
contribute our fair share to the en-
richment of the world we must learn
to live by a schedule.
