Shopkeepers-Not Merchants

Montgomery Ward, the great mail
order house, finds its selling cost to
be approximately per cent. Local
merchants who complain Of the in
vasion of the mail order man and
want the country publisher to fight
their battles for them should bear
these figures in mind. If the local
stores would spend even per cent
of their income on advertising in the
newspapers they are supposed to
support, the mail order man would
soon be out of luck; but we have too
many shopkeepers and too few mod
ern merchants in small towns. Even
today many of the local shopkeepers
have not awakened to the fact that
is a recognized part of
their overhead, like light, rent, etc.
The patience of the local publisher
with the 18th century shopkeepers
such as these, is profound. The mail
order houses are now putting out
their catalogues and are advertising
that fact in many national Weeklies.
They even print coupon, making it
easy for everyone to get one of their
catalogues. If this paper would run
one of those ads the very shopkeeper
who never advertises any, would be
the first to yell the loudest.-Cald-

GOOdby To Sherwood

When congress adjourns Wednes-
day Gen. Isaac r. Sherwood of the
ninth Ohio district, Toledo, will have
ended a service as legislator which
began in 1873. 1t has not been a
continuous service; it has, in fact,
included only nine terms, with one
| long and one short intermission
Nevertheless the record of eighteen
years in congress during a period of
fifty two years is one which few men
in public life have equaled
Ulysses S. Grant was president
when Sherwood first entered con
gress. The majority of the generals
present colleagues were not yet bor
Now, in his ninetieth year, the ven
cradle Ohioan retires with the
statement that his political career is
definitely ended.
At the farewell dinner rendered to
Gen. Sherwood by Democratic mem
bers of the Ohio delegation and
friends, the guest of honor was
one of the brightest and most i'm
pressive speakers. Years have in no
degree dimmed the intellect or dull
ed the humor of this remarkable
man He is. at the end of his public
'ife, an inspiration to Americans,
and especially an encoura cement to
men inclined to be disheartened
when they have passed the physical
prime of life.
In 1907, when Gen. Sherwood be-
gan his second long period of COB
gressional service, he was seventy
two years old. Since then he has
served continuously with the excep
tion of a two year interval AL,
though he rose from the ranks to b.
brigadier general in the Civil waf
and has served a term as mayor of
Toledo two terms as probate judge,
and two terms as secretary Of state
of Ohio his really important work
and the service for which he will be
remembered began when he was past
the mark of threescOre and ten.
Surely Gen. Sherwood has earned
a rest May he enjoy it as fully as
he Plain Deal

The place was known as Big Bot

stockade and two cabins outside,
where two families lived. Indian

the whites were encroaching on their

the settlers.
They reached the place late in the
afternoon of January 2, 1891, but
halted concealed at a place where
they could spy upon the whites and
secure accurate knowledge as to how
many there were and how situated.
Then they divided into two parties
