Scouters Course
Has Been Abandoned
Attendance Has Not Been As Good
As Expected-Win Open
Later

Only a few attended the Scout
ers Training course held last Mon
day evening at the school house
with numerous functions scheduled
for that evening cutting deeply in
to the usual attendance. While the
course will be abandoned temporar-
lily until such time as enough inter-
est is created, it is possible that
the course may be resumed next
fall.
Those who did attend devoted
the evening to a discussion of the
Scouting problem in this city. Rev.
Mr.. Munson stated that the group
had decided to cooperate with the
Scout masters and the pooling Of
their efforts may be expected in
every way. During the spring and
summer months they will lend
their cooperation to the Scoutmas-
ters to the fullest extent to bring
more forcefully tangible evidences
that Boy Scouting is progressing in
Sauk Centre, said Rev. Munson.

Williams, that comedian whose
vaudeville drollery has made me
laugh a score Of times until nv
stomach muscles ached. Earnestly
and r%everently, l pumped his hand.
IF I should never see you again."
l said, please remember that you
carry with you always the undying
regard of a very grateful CUSTOM
er." Being a top-notcher he is, of
course, modest. He seemed a bit
surprised that anybody should say
thank YOU" ..s=.u,.
He is one of a precious little
group of folks to whom / should
like to make similar acknowledge
ment. Are they not the worlds
most valuable citizens? Of almost
every kind of talent there is an
o%versupply. We have plenty of
bankers, lawyers, writers, income
tax collectors, and investment
councillors. But only a handful of
men who can literally make you
laugh until you cry. If there ever
should be another war, surely they
should be put in a special classifi-
cation under the draft.
One of Charles Lambs essays re-
cords a touching conversation be-
tween an elderly man and his wife.
They are recounting the joys of
their young days-the theatres they
attended, the books the bought,
the sacrifices they made together.
At length she says wistfully: "Yes,
we have more things now, but we
do not laugh SO much"
Laughter is golden, and youth
should lay up as much of it as
possible in the bank of memory.
= Only the most important business
should be allowed to interfere with
the chance for an extra laugh.

LIKE A GOOD BUSINESS

A good housekeeper can take a
few hints from a well organized
business office, said Miss Pauline
Gorlon, State College extension
specialist in home management.
For example, she said, the house
keeper can make a work schedule
to divide the day among the diff
ferent tasks that have to be done
and to show which tasys are or can
be done by parious members Of the
family.
The family needs should be studi-
ed, and the family income so bud
geted that the greatest returns for
all concerned may be secured, Miss
Gordon continued.
A record book is helpful in keep
ing a check on household activities
and in making plans for the future.
Such a book is a good place tc
set down addresses, facts about the

NO ROOM FOR WORD


Back in 1926, l happened to be
riding with a vigorous middle-aged
man who had jus, sold his business
for several million dollars. The
contract provided that he should
remain active in the company, but
his intention was to take things
)easy. II am never going to let
myself have any more financial
worries" he said. sIn addition to
my stocks, l have 100000 in the
moss-pack bonds. Whatever hap
pens, they can mever get me-"
In 1929, his stocks began a nose
dive. By 1881, he thought the de-
preston was over sufficiently SO
that he could make a large COM
mittment on behalf of one of his
friends. The commitment nearly
wrecked him. For five years he
has worked harder and worried
more than ever before.
The other night I saw him again,
His business is getting better, his
stocks are improving. Always an
optimist, he said: This country il
going to have another very profit
able period. The question will be-
Have we learned anything? W.
didn't know enough to salt away
our winnings before; shall WI
know enough to do it this time?'
Another man remarked recently

NEW LIGHT ON CHAIN
STORES

AS a result of Investigations into
the chain store situation, made by
the Federal Trade Commission and
the Federal Bureau of the Census,
new light has lately been thrown
upon the extent and effect of chain
store operations.
1t develops that while the num-
Der of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS retail
stores increased by $4,000 between
1929 and 1888, the number of
chain stores decreased by $500 in
the same period. Chain stores, i,
is reported, do about 2S percent OF
all the retail business of the nation.
In the grocery and food field they
do about five-fifths of the total
volume of business. Their price.
to consumers, the Trade Commits
sion reports, are about $40 below
those charged by competing retail.
ers.
According to the Census Bureau
figures, the average wages Of chair
store employees are $1,o79 a year
and those paid by Independent
store owners about $947 a year.
On the vexed qsestion whether
chain stores take money out of :
community, the Institute Of Dis
tribution points out that all thu
