Store Unit Managers
Duties Held Too General

Responsibilities of department
managers in stores have been too
general and all inclusive to obtain
best results" Ralph Goldsmith, gen.
eral manager Of Lansburgh g. Bro,
said today in an address before the
29th annual convention Of the Ma
tional Retail Dry Goods Association
in New York.
THE average department man.
ayers efforts are too diversified"
he commented. Ito perform any of
the functions well, and 1t is not fair
to expect a department manager to
manage and control all factors,
many of which are beyond the con-
troll Of that individual"
Mr.. Goldsmith described the de-
partment manager system now in
effect at Lansburgh's and pointed
out that it differed greatly from the
majority, particularly from the
standpoint of expense control. His
stores system in this respect is
founded, he said, on the premise
that departmental net profits are
based upon many prorated expenses
and many direct expenses over
which the buyer has no control and
doesn't even understand.
A "no-posting' plan of combining
authorizing. collections and accounts
receivable was described for the con-
ferees by F. w. Hill, manager of the
accounts receivable department of
Lansburgh's.

than 800 miles of rough mountain
country. She lived in cabins with
the mountaineers, ate their food,
talked crops, but meanwhile kept an
eye on the near impossible odds the
people faced. Surmounting obsta-
cles, she finally gained confidence Of
the hill folk and changed their feel

active friendship.
With headquarter in Wendover,
KY, the service operates out OF 10
cities and brings social and medical
aid to those people living in remote

communicable diseases have been

The frontier worker said today the

ious for increased education, but poor

Frontier Nurses
Bring Education and

Founder Of Service. Here
For Conference, Tells
Of Work in Kentucky

Though ofdcially called the "Fron-
tier Nursing Service" the organiza-
ton no longer recognizes frontiers
but sends its personnel into the
most remote sections Of the hill
country along the Eastern seaboard
to bring health anad education.
Here for the White House Con.
ference on Aid to Children in q
Democracy, Mrs. Mary Breckenridge
founder of the frontier group, saio
the desire Of the people In the hill
country of Kentucky, where she
works, is for greater education.
Mrs. Breckenridge, speaking yes
terday under the auspices of the
Washington committee Of the serv-
ice at the George Hewitt Myers Tex
tile Museum, declared the Euro
pean wars had reached the Ken
lucky mountains.
Nurses Called Home.
She explained the statement by
saying that British nurses on her
staff were being called home to
care for expectant mothers evac-
uated from London. Mrs. Breckin-
ridge said she had British nurses
because there had been no school
Of midwifery in the United States
Mrs. Breckenridge said, however,
that a school for midwives had been
established in the hospital at Hyden
KY, and that it is being conduct
ed by the nursing service.
Another problem facing the serv-
ice, according to Mrs. Breckin-
ridge, Is to persuade young doctors
specializing in obstetrics to 60 to
Kentucky for six months work
with the Frontier Nursing Service
Hospital.

MAKE
GAIN
$4,000 Pounds Manu-
featured BY Local
Creamery in September

Showing sizeable gains over pro-
duction Of a year ago, the Sank
Lake Cooperative Creamery manu-
featured $1,000 pounds of butter for
September, George Strauss, secre-
tary, said as the payroll for the
month was announced.
In spite Of a noticeable drop in
general milk production, due not
ably to the fall drouth in Septem-
Der and October, secretary's rec
ords showed a more than 1000
pound increase over the same
month a year ago. In September,
1889 the creamery produced 1880
pounds.
A nearly complete cutoff in rain
for this section followed August
fall of 1852. For in September the
total fall, measured here by Henry
Rydholm, was only LOT. To date
in October it points the way to
even with 81 recorded thus far.
Mr.. Strauss pointed that drouth
and drying pastures have curtailed
milk production, but looked for an
upswing to begin in the late fall
and early winter with freshening
of cattle. Paying 80 cents for
sweet cream and 81 for number
one, the creamery's payroll for Sep
TENDER to patrons totalled SIS, 273.

successful business in Elrosa for
fifteen years, has disposed of his
hardware and implement store and
home in the village to Elmer Korf.
Of Melrose. The deal was closed
Monday and the new owner took

morning.
Mr.. Kohl and his wife came to
Elrosa fifteen years ago, and he
opened an 18x20 grocery store. His
business grew and he added cloth
ing, shoes. hardware, implements
and coal. This necessitated a build
ing program, and he added to the
building until he had one Of the
finest business places in Elrosa.
Three years ago, Mr.. Kohl sold
his grocery and clothing business
to AL Lampe, and he retained the
hardware and implement business.
He conducted that business in a
new building erected for that pur-
pose. He added to the building and
stock as demand necessitated.
Following the sale Of his bust
ness, Mr.. Kohl announced, that he
and Mrs. Kohl planned to spend the
winter in the South, and that plans
for spring have not been made.
Mr.. Kohl was the first mayor of
Elrosa, and was active in civic and
social activities Of the community.
Many village improvements were
made during the time he served as
mayor.
Another business change in Ell
rosa was made through the sale of
the grocery and clothing business,
which AL Lampe purchased three
years ago from Mr.. Kohl. Mr.. Lam
pc has sold the business to Jerry
Lieser, Of Belgrade, who will take
possession before the first of Nov
ember. Mr.. Lieser is now employed
at the johnson Hardware in Bel
grade.
