ONE.PRICE STORES.

The retail trade of today more and
more is giving its patronage to the
stores which have one price and a price
that the merchant has confidence in
sufficient to let his price stand. The
retail trade OF our vicinity enjoys more
than most cities of its size, real mer-
chants who conduct their stores on a
high plane and are not waiting for spe-
cial sales where they are to be de-
ceived aud disappointed.
The retail trade of San Antonio and
Southwest Texas showed real intelli-
gencc and well balance ideas in max
ing its holiday purchases. Every store,
as nearly as | have been able to learn,
sold sensible and useful articles more
than ever before to supply old Santa's
demand.

MUST CUT COSTS.

Now, as to the future for our re-
tailers, the greatest effort must be
put forth to cut the cost Of overhead
and cost of doing business. All the
people are earning. as a whole, more
money than ever before. but the places
for using the money have been in
creased even in a larger proportion.
Besides. things that were once lux
uries now are real necessities. Sal
aries that once permitted extray-
agance or extra money in savings.
today are entirely absorbed in actual
necessary living expenses and the same
condition exists with the merchants.
Things that once were considered eI-
travagance in operating their scores,

SHOW TRAIT.

People who would be shocked and
hurt if told they had anything selfish
and overbearing in their makeup, show
this real human trait more when they
are trying to drive a bargain than any
other time. This human trait no doubt
is the cause Of and incentive for many
merchants following the out-of-date
policy of conducting their regular bust
ness almost altogether on the sensa-
tional sale plan, but just as our peo-
pie who 60 to make up the majority
Of our retail trade have cast aside old
and out-of-date methods Of living they
also have cast aside the idea that a
merchant can sell his merchandise
without profit.

BUYING SHOWS
REAL. TRAITS
Of TRADERS
Like Card Games, Bartering
Betrays True Human
Instincts.
By N. H. KING
President, King Furniture Company.

Retail trade at present. as always,
is composed of human beings and. in
my opinion, nothing betrays the hu-
man instinct so clearly as when we
are trading.
I don't want to shock anyone, but
how often have you heard it said that
you can learn more of a person dur
ing a card game in one evening than
you can in ordinary contact for
months. j believe this to be true,
and if it is true there must be rea-
son. Most anyone plays any kind of
game to win and in card game time
is limited in the course Of few hours
you either win or lose; therefore,
unconsciously, a great deal OF the real
human side of a person is brought itno
play and is quite evident.

BANNER YEAR.

There is every possibility for
banner year for the Winter Garden
and Laredo districts from the stand
point OF agriculture" he declared.
"The spinach season to date has
been very profitable and the outlook
for markets when the second crop will
start around the first OF February IL
most encouraging. Mr.. Hunter said.
1.-THE heavy snow covering the fields
at Crystal City, Asherton, and other
points OF that section afforded excel
lent protection ito the crop, which
shows little actual damage by low tenn
peratures. 1t is estimated that grow
ing aud loading cost this year is be-
tween IS and 81 cents per bushel, and
as practically none OF the spinach has
brought less than 50 cents and by far
the bulk Of the movement rolled has
cost cash buyers 75 cents and above.
this represents good profit from
growing operations" he stated.
ONIONS UNDAMAGED.
Onions were not injured because
of their immsturity. There are be-
tween $500 and 300 acres of onions
planted at Laredo this year which
shows an appreciate increase over
last year. Eagle Pass reports $50
acres in cultivation to this commodity
this year against $50 acres a year
ago." Mr.. Hunters report to Austin
reads.
Carrots suffered no damage BY the
freezing weather aud the present ship

Fairbanks of the late President Harding and his party.
 was fortunate enough to be in Fairbanks last night and to attend MT. Marquam's meeting. l deemed it privilege when I was asked to be one of a committee of citizens who were with MT. Marquam on the ros- trum. Over 750 of his neighbors turned out to hear him speak. This is no mere. guess for 1 was there and counted them as near as 1 could. They received him with. enthusiasm, they gave him their undivided at tention, and they. approved his re- marks by their applause. No better proof of the falsity of the charges against him can be brought. A mans neighbors know him best, and when they approve of him, he generally is pretty good sort of a man.
 Tom Marquam as you know, is a lawyer. Of course, from a personal standpoint feel that the best recom- mendation I can give him is to say that he is my Fairbanks attorney. But be that as it may, he is recog- nized as a leader of the Fairbanks bar. He is a man of sterling quail ties, his integrity is unimpeachable, he is honest and capable. Another fact of his standing is that he is one of the board of regents of the agri- cultural college and school of mines at Fairbanks.
 Time was when Dr. Young would not have thought of writing the sort of letter he did, but he is getting old, and we must not. feel too harsh ly toward him because of that fact. He has brooded dver his troubles and disappointments. He had hoped that he might becenne the president of the Alaska College at Fairbanks. MT. Marquam opposed his appoint ment and the wisdom of his opposi- tion can be clearly seen now. pr. Young has evidently not been able to apply the good Christian doctrine of forgiying your enemies, and has not forgiven MT. Marquam, whom he deemed an enemy because he was not for him. Tn this we can only feel sorry for him.
 I hope I have made it clear to you that my knowledge of MT. Marquam leads me to say that he is a man who is splendidly equipped to be Alaskas' delegate in congress, and that I have reason to believe that everything said by his opponents about him in their anonymous cam
 
 paign is made of whole cloth.
 Very truly yours,
