CHARGE AND CASH

THE Federal Reserve Bank Of
Boston, reporting on business
conditions, remarks that depart
ment stores state that cash sales
are less than last year, while sales
to be charged are more
That may indicate that people
are spending beyond their means,
or it may mean th2t more people
have bank accounts and are paying
by check. Of course many people
like the idea of having purchases
charged and paving for them after
examining the goods. Yet it is \
good idea for avGrage folks of
small incomes to pay cash. Such
a habit prevents bad dcDts from
accommodating, a a1d it makes it pos
s''.lc to do business on a smaller
capital.

REV0LUTIONIZTNG FARM
PLEASURES

THE UNITED STATES is fairly
blanketed with radio service so
that the farmer, anywhere and
everywhere, merely has to choose
and tune in on what he likes best.
With superpoYer stations this will
be increasingly true.
after the days work, when the
supper dishes are cleared away,
the farmer and his family can
gather around the open fire in
winter and listen to the music of
grand opera, conscious the while
that the voice of the prima donna
reaches them by radio before it is
heard in the diamond horseshoe, or
in the back row of the orchestra
circle, for such is the speed of ra-
dio as compared with the speed Of
sound waves.
81 believe that radio has greater
application to the farm and to
farm life than to any other phase
of our national life. General ].

This popiniay, like all others of

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS
THE village of Temple is in Ok
lahoma.

THE village of Temple is in Ok
u lahoma.
It's population is 906.
Temple has a newspaper called
The Tribune.
The Tribune has an editor nam
ed Charles F. Lula.
The editor says the circulation
of his newspaper is $50.
The paper was founded in 1902.
The town of Temple has a store.
1t is called the B. & o. Cash Store.
The B. & o Cash Store has a
proprietor, named Bob Mooney.
Bob Mooney does a business of
$2,000,OO0 a year in the town of
Temple which has a population of
906 people.
Laugh that off.
Bob Mooney draws his trade from
a radius of $50 miles. His business
is exceeded by only two stores in
the entire state.
Originally he and his brother
bought a little general store with
$1,000 borrowed capital. They NOV
ed into the present location in 1908.
In two years they built another
building. In another four years
they built an addition 116x140, re-
inforced concrete and equipped
with modern fixtures. Today they
employ As people. How. did they
accomplish their success? Let Bob
Mooney tell the story himself:
eve had no particular reason for
starting business in Temple, and
no idea what kind of business we
would build. We started with the

ARMISTICE DAY

TWO thoughts naturally come to
~ the American mind when that
great occasion of American history,
'Armistice day, next Wednesday,
comes around again. First, the
superb achievement which was
brought to it's fruition on that day.
If people ever feel dissatisfied
with the progress of their country.
they ought to feel profoundly re-
assured if they will think of the
results of American energy as they
were displayed in the war. A
peace loving people, who had not
had the least thought of war, sud
denly created a great army and
carried it across a sea lurking with
dangers, they threw their men with
scientific thoroughness and victori-
Gus enthusiasm into action, and
produced a. result that decided the
war and made the world marvel.
If we ever get it into our heads
that things can't be done, let us
turn back to November II, 1918,
and think what marvels were pro-
duced in the 19 months ending with
that date The result shows what
the American people can accomp-
lish when they set their minds to
it.
The second thought is this: Dur
ing recent observances of Armis-
tice day, many pessimistic utter
ances have been made. Some have
almost thought that our boys fought
for nothing, as it was seen how
little Europe was settling down af-
ter the war.
This year, the substantial results
of the war stand forth During the
past year two grand things have
been accomplished toward perman-
ent peace. First, the first year
of payments under the Dawes plan
has been successfully completed
Second, the representatives of the
four leading governments of Eur
Ope have completed an agreement
which if adhered to, means the end
of war in central and western Eur
ope. These wonderful results are
the fruition of the work done by
our boys on the fields of battle.

WOMEN'S CAREER

SMITH COLLEGE is to have an
~ institute to study how women
can combine their home duties
with the professional or intellec-
tual activities that they may desire.
This is problem that bothers
many women, who would like to
use their talents in some form of
work outside the home after mar
riage. They may desire simply to
earn money, or they may have abil-
tiles that they dislike to see rust
out for want of use.
Providing three meals a day and
keeping a house clean take a lot
of woman's time. If there are
children to care for, her ability TO
do outside work may disappear al
together. Yet the Industrial OF
business training that she has will
go to waste if it continues unused.
1t is a fine thing for a married
woman to keep up some of the act
ivities by which she formerly earn
ed money. But if this means that
she neglects her home and the
training of her children, the money
she earns is not worth what it
costs

intention of selling about 800 a
day. We averaged this amount the
first year.
Il believe that direct mail adver-
tising has been one of the most i'm
portant things we have done to get
our business to it's present volume.
I'VE use local advertising. The
press has been one of the most i'm
portant factors in getting our busi-
ness on the map. They have given
US write-ups in their columns.
These we could not have bought,
but through the goodness of the
publishers, they have put us on the
map, and we are selling merchan-
disc in every state in the United
States today. Our business IS
growing every day in the mail or
der line.
"It strikes me that if we have
been able, as country merchants,
to attain our sales volume, then
few manufacturing and wholesale
organizations are unable to grow
far beyond their present limits. 1t
is largely question of how big an
opportunity the management sees.
At present we cannot see our limit.
eve believe you have first to sell
yourself in any line of business to
make success, and to make the
other fellow see things as you see
them. We have always tried to
give the very best prices and quail
ity and service with each article we
sell. We believe the customer is
right in every case and we make
everything good to the customer
that we sell when there is COM
plant. We never try to describe a
piece of goods to make it appear

MENCKEN AND ARIZONA

HERE is what H. L. Mencken says
about Arizona in his latest book,
Americana 1925" just published
Mr.. Mencken, who is editor of The
American Mercury and widely
known as newspaper writer and
critic, has collected volume of
choice examples of what he calls
Americana from every state. He
has published these with a CLOS
sary and notes for foreign students.
Among the latter he has a descrip-
tion of each state and here is what
he says about ours:
Here we are in a desert, phys
ically and Intellectually. Arizona
contains no statesmen, nor, indeed,
any other inhabitants of a superior
kidney. It's towns have such names
as Tombstone, Phoenix, Flagstaff,
Chloride, Salome, Painted Rock
and Snowflake The most inter
esting things in it are the ruins of
the ancient Indian villages. The
surviving Indians, like the whites,
devote themselves chiefly to poll
tics and alcohol"
The Verde Copper News (Jerome)
gives Menchen this for that:
"It's a positive fact that Mister
Menchen wouldn't find himself at
home in Arizona, where we grow
men and women and where we do
things; he'd find his lofty intellect
in a heap of trosble if he tried to
dig a mine or an irrigating ditch,
punch a mess of cattle or put in
few shifts in a lumber camp. Even

lecture on the whitherness OF the

LAMP CHIMNEYS, CURLING
IRONS AND BATHS

ELECTRICITY, since the building
of Edison's first central station,
has reconstructed mankind's whole
scheme of existence. The United
States has the best electric service
in the world, and makes the widest
use of it. 1t is being constantly
improved and as electric and gas
appliances are more widely used in
the home, our standards of living
advance, household work becomes
easier, and the American wife and
mother has more time to devote to
study and her children.
When we hear a lot about the
wonders of the past, at a period
when the family washing required
two days of hard labor, when the
old wood stove or coal furnace kept
someone busy shoveling in fuel and
carrying out ashes, when the lamps
had to be filled and cleaned every
day, toast made over hot Goals
which scorched ones face, hot wa
ter for a bath heated in a teakettle
or wash boiler and tue curling

munity he is part, and even the

He boosts for the chapel, the

the football and basketball team

elbow each day than to deal with
