CUSTOMERS THAT COUNT

Tn every village, in every town, in every city, merchants in every line and branch of business are dependent upon their customers. We're it not for these customers it would be impossible for the merchants to remain in busi- ness. Merchants order goods which they know will appeal to their trade knowing that it is the customer who is going to be responsible for those goods being moved from his shelves.
 Customers, however, do not go out looking for merchandise of which they know nothing about. The successful business houses today are the ones who have told the public about their goods and then, having backed up their statements with service, have built up strong trade. One of the best ways of moving goods from the shelves is to let the people know that these goods are there. Every article which remains on the mer- chants counter longer than it should represents a lazy dollar. Live adver- Using drives out the lazy dollars from your business and substitutes instead dollars which count.
 Every year in this town thousands of dollars go to the mail order houses on the outside. Why? Simply because these houses are telling the people what they have for sale. Not only are they doing this in a single in. stance, but they are doing it through out the continent Large catalogues are being sent yearly to prospective customers putting the goods of these houses before the eyes of the custo mer. That is the reason the mail or der business is a success. They are farther away and yet they are more sociable to their trade than the local dealer who fails to inform his custo mers about his goods.
 Despite this fact however, there is
 
 patronize his home dealer in prefer ence to outsiders. It is supremely easy for the local merchant to out advertise a catalogue and advertising means business if properly conducted and prices are made attractive. The , way to sQuelch this competition is t( ; step on it and step on it hard. Adver Using is the hammer which can drive , home the desired effect
 | But proper advertising is the hard } est thing in the world. It must b. r consistent; it must be truthful, ant it must offer a bargain to the custo } mer. And to be effective it shoulC l quote prices in every line.

problem, especially in our larger cities, is becoming extremely acute. Added to the congestion, which ap- pears unavoidable, is the menace of the inattemhve driver and the willful speeder.
 But we should not imagine that similar problems did not concern city Jewellers of the past. Tn an editorial which appeared in the New York Mirror in the year 1884, the reckless Broadway bus drivers were severely criticised for their disregard of life and limb. It said:
 "The inconvenience and danger of this is no less felt by those VITO ride than by those who walk. It has not only become dangerous to cross Broadway on foot, but persons who venture or trust themselves inside one of these carriages run the risk of having their brains turned by the rapidity of the motion"
 Not only was fear expressed for the safety of pedestrians, but the writer of that editorial appears to have believed that too rapid speed would scramble the very brains in side ones cranium.

WHAT DOES BLOOD TELL?

Students of heredity might find something worthy of investigation in the history of the Hubert family, negroes of Georgia. It is perhaps one of the most remarkable on record.
 Zach and Camilla Hillman Hubert were both born in slavery and had Lit tile education, but by hard struggle and self denial they managed to ed uoate their seven sons. This is what they enabled the seven boys to be- come:
 Zachary Hubert, jr, is president of Jackson College, Jackson, Miss; B. F Hubert is director of agriculture at Tuskegee Institute; John W. Hubert is principal of the negro high school in Savannah; J. H. Hubert is execu- tive secretary of the Urban League in New York City; Moses Hubert is farm demonstration agent of Han cock county, Georgia; G. J. Hubert is pastor of two churches in Atlanta and has 600-acre farm; Theodore Hubert, the youngest son, is senior at Warehouse College, Atlanta.
 Was it heredity that enabled these seven negro farm boys to reach sucf positions of honor and usefulness What does blood tell in this case?

PRIZE FARM GIRL

All prize winners are interesting and prizes have been offered of late for almost every qualification under the sun, useful, ornamental and otherwise.
 Among the years winners the name of Miss Frances Smith, 1S-year-old thigh school girl of. Gearv, Okla., de- serves a prominent place. In con- test in connection with the an- nual congress of boys and girls club work, held in Chicago, she was se- lected from 6OOOO0 children of the United States as the farm girl who in 1925 had shown the greatest qual- ities of leadership in home, club and community life.
 As a press dispatch puts it, "the products of Miss Smiths hoe and needle took twelve of the prizes. This gave her the undisputed title the huge silver loving cup, which was presented at dinner attended by 1,2OO club boys and girls, given under the auspices of the internation- al livestock exchange.
 1t is hard to imagine a greater honor than that of being selected as the best all-round girl in America, ol one requiring more of intelligence industry and character on the par of the winner.

The Kings Horses.

Racing. which is the modern success.
sor OF the chase Of old. is the sport of
kings by common parlance, but kings
are not finding 1t profitable in these
times of competition. King George of
England. for example, has just been
casting up his accounts and has found
that his stable has since it's establish
ment cost him 100000 more than 1t
has earned. This season, to he sure,
he is winning little, but only about
thousand pounds to date. Conse-
quently, the reports from London
state. the King is going to reorganize
his stable and try to make it a winner
instead of loser. At any rate, he Is
going to cut down expenses.
Many a lesser parsonage than the
King has found racing an extravagant
means Of occupa ton and amusement.
Many an humble, untitled citizen has
gone bankrupt with his ponies"
The position Of king is rather diff
cult, however. He has to pay top
prices for everything he gets in horse
flesh and in service, and in these times
no favors are shown him on the turf.
A commoner's horse has as good a
chance to win as one that runs under
the royal colors.
Doubtless King George has had
twenty thousand pounds worth of
fun out of his stable, and more. But
he probably thinks 1t is a poor ex-
ample Of thrift and economy to en-
gage in ed-thousand-dollar toys
while his people are suffering for lack
of employment and indeed for the
necessities Of life. Reforming his
stables will not affect the economic
balance in England, but it may ease
his conscience.

has declared to those who sought 1t.
Come and be saved" it has developed
a type of Christian believer that was
unworthy and inimical to its best In
terests. Wherever 1t has followed the
dictum of its Master and said, Go
and be saved sending its followers
forth to live lives of selfless service. it
has not only strengthened itself but
enriched its devotees.
Christianity as system of living
calls for and demands something
more than the recitation of creeds or
periodical participation in re-
ligious service. Its supreme exemp-
lar and exponent was it's Founder
His life was characterized throughout
by heroic service and supreme self
sacrifice. The appeal of those who
had been broken on the wheel of for
tune He responded to with gladness
and ready ministry. So magnetic
was He that even those who had sunk
to the lowest round of degradation
responded to His call and felt In His
presence the regeneration of their
seemingly forgotten and buried selves.
Everywhere He went He drew men
to Him by the appealing power Of
His understanding love. Even one
who reached out to touch the hem OF
His garment made Him feel that
there had gone forth from Him the
virtue of healing. The touch Of faith,
inarticulate as it was, evoked His
ready response.
