with defective vision or diseased ton

the numerous defects found when the
children are examined in school is in

There is no time like the present

might even threaten the life of the
child. For instance, diseased tonsils
might not seem to you to amount to
much. Possibly the child could get
through the winter without serious
illness, but how about those frequent
and troublesome colds? What about
the child's chances if there should be
an outbreak Of diphtheria or some
other childhood disease which finds
easy prey in those whose resistance
is weak, as his certainly may be?

Great merchandising institutions,
known as department stores, in work
ing out branch expansion programs in
the larger cities of the country, are
establishing branch department stores
at this time in many of the more i'm
portant trade and suburban districts.
Several large wholesale merchandising
houses in the midwest have announced
extensive branch department store
programs and are rapidly establish
ing such branch stores all over the
country. The importance of this new
competitive element in marketing and
merchandising and the menace 1t holds
to the local and country merchants
cannot be over-eStimated. The erect
of the branch department store on the
small city or rural merchants bust
ness is far more poignant than the
competition of the chain store. While
the chain store confines it's competi-
ton to special lines of convenience
goods, such as groceries, drugs, to-
baccos, etc., the branch department
store dispenses practically every kind
of article consumed by-human kind.
From stores devoted largely to the
sale of shopping goods, the large city
department stores have added depart
ment after department of specialties,
until now their goodS-range is COM
prehensive of all articles, utensils and
foods demanded by modern standards
of living.
Upon the rural merchant falls
heaviest this constantly expanding
centralized merchandising COMPETE
ton determinedly fostered by great
commercial organizations and COM
bines backed by millions of capital.
Where the rural merchant buys to
supply few hundred customers, the
large city department store organiza-
tons buy to supply millions of shop
pers all over the country.
When Mrs. Jones of Main Street
finds branch department store in her
city or town, where every artful de-
vice and insidiouS means are employed
to induce her patronage, it will be too
late for the local merchant who has
enioyed her trade to begin fighting
to retain or regain it. His problem Is
suuarely in front of him. Now is the
time for him to act He must buy
better, sell better and serve better
He must attach himself to the mo-
mentum of progress. He must aff1li-
ate himself with the progressive mer-
chandising ideas of the day. He must
cast off the slip-shod methods and
dreary selling personality of yester-
day and make himself a part OF the
modern systems and methods Of mer-
chandising.
Outstanding in his problem are two
things-a better buying system for
himself whereby he derives the bene-
At of broader and more economical
buying markets and better selling and
pricing systems in the disposal Of his
goods. ALI America is today buy
ers' market The appeal to this buy
ing-motive must come from the mer-
chant himself. Tt must always be
remembered that the branch depart
ment store will be only minutes away
by automobile for the customer, and a
tangible probability that the branch
department store organization is COM
peting with the merchant across the
top of his own counter, having through
its wholesale department sold the
merchant the very goods he is at
tempting to sell in competition with

ARTICLE I,

Gastonia, North Carolina, is less
than days train ride from the City
of New York, but it is different
world, in many respects. Those
who live in the industrial cities of
the north have heard of the bad
conditions and the low wages OF
the 100000 southern textile work
ers, the mill hands," but the south
ern textile field is far away and the
workers used to northern standards
cannot picture the literal starvation
that exists in the southern mill
towns.
When the Washington delegation
of Gastonia strikers, members of
the National Textile Workers Union,
appeared there, Senator Overman of
North Carolina, in an effort to
counterfeit the enormous shock these
emaciated workers gave to all who
beheld them, declared that the dele
cation was "hand picked" He de-
clared them "the worst lot of scrubs
who ever came out of North Caro-
lima" Even the correspondents of
the capitalist press gave Overman
the lie. M. Farmer Murphy, Wash
ington correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun, declared in the May II
issue of that paper: "But persons
who have been among the mill
hands of Senator Overman's state
will not agree with him that the
Gastonia delegation is a specially
selected group. Having seen the
workers on the spot, they know that
a similar all-American, underfed,
overworked team could be chosen
at random with eyes closed in al
