He Made a Million
in a Village

C. A. Carver, business man
of Strasburg, Ohio, made mil
lion dollars in a village of less
than 1000 persons. To those
of the small towns he says.
Opportunities are just as
good in The country and small
towns as III the city.
Compel tiol is less keen be-
- cause 50 many youths have left
~ TIE country for a struggling ex-
istence in the city" a.. ,...
Carver is a merchant-a real
merchant. His store is known
as the Largest Country Store in
His customers come
from nearby cities Of 50, and
more, because, he says, his
prices are lower and courtesy
and square-dealing never fail.
OF his success and why he re-
manned to be the Big Merchant
in Village, he says: -. u.
Opportunities for young peo-
pie are just as good in the coun-
try and small towns as in the
cities" he says
''My opinion IS that the chances
of success are greater in the viii
lage.
Competition is less keen be-
cause so many youths have left
their homes in the country for
struggling existence in the big
cities.
eff these young people would
look just as hard for opportuni-
ties in their home towns and then
work just as hard making good
after the opportunities are
found, there would be no cause
for worry about the depopulation
of the rural districts"
Carver also has some advice
for the small town merchant.
Here is his formula for increas-
ing profits:
under one roof.
''In many small towns one will
find a drug store, a hardware
store, a dry goods store, a gro
Gerry store and a furniture store.
Each of these businesses nee
cessarily must buy in small guam
titles, thereby paying higher
prices.
Each has a large overhead
expense.
What they should do is to
combined their capital and have
one big store under one roof, with
grocery department, a hard
ware department, a dry goods
department, a drug and sundry
department and so on.
Then the company would be
strong enough to buy in large
quantities, getting better prices,
better credit and also cutting off
a large slice of the overhead ex-
pense."
Mr.. Carver is another exam
pie of brains and energy. H
went out after business and h
got it. Whiting sticks in fror
of the door in the summer an
/ cracking peanuts about the stow
in winter never made rex
merchant and never will.
Carver placed on h
shelves the things folks wan
and he neither overstocked nc
understocked. That he charge
fair profit his rating of over
million testifies. Too many c
US see success somewhere else

Die over the pot of gold at on

SICILY, PEEvIsH CHILDREN

Children suffering from intestinal worms
are cross, restless and unhealthy. There
are other symptoms, however. If the
child is pale, has dark rings under the
ewes, bad breath and takes no interest in
play, it is almost certainty that worms
are eating away its vitality. The surest
remedy for worms is Whites Cream Vermi-
fuge. 1t is positive destruction to the
worms but harmless to the child. Price

New York, May B. The bathing suit manufacturers evidently are completely sold on Ziegfeld's idea that the American girl should be gIoriiied, and never more so than when taking the daily dip, For there's many revealing suit among the new models. But there is new touch. The general ensemble idea Is being car rcd out in beach attire. The smart est outfits are three piece with suit. cape or coat and hat all forming harmonious pie ture. And the girl need only find d convenient hickory limb on which to park the wrap, and she is ready for the waves.
 The girl who really likes to swim will always prefer the one e-piecc An nette Kellerman type of swimming suit of wool jersey. For her sake this usually plain type of garment has been elaborated with cmbroid cry and given it's long jersey cape so that it has become positively deco rative.
 And the girl who likes 10 look lovely on the beach and doesn't care much about tho water has every type to select from. There are suits of silk. satin and velvet. and then the more stthmery type ot gingham and lowered chintz in gay colors, uyu- ally bound and trimmed with plain colors
 There are corsago and shoulder bouquets of rubber that are quite as lovely as those Of velvet or silk before they strike the water and more lovely afrorward.
 There are scarfs and ucs of rub bcrized silk that make it possible to carry out the latest effects in tho line of collars and belts.
 Tn bathing caps. nothing is more popular than the printed scarf of rubberized silk, under which the swimmer may wear a closo-fftting rubber cap and save her wave. Other caps of rubber are trimmed with flowers and appliqued effects that are copied after the most ad styles in millinery.
 If the waves are wild this sum mer. no one can hold it agatns them.
