BUYING IN A LARGE WAY The business man who is arnbiliotiB for largo-" results j3 constantly up against the quandary as to how largely he shall stock' up with goods. When some reliable concern of" iers mm a special lot of merchandise at a specially favor able price, 'on the idea that he will buy. considerably more than no has usually in' the past, he is up against the prob lem wnether he can work oi those goods promptly. If he does not oiler his patrons some special inducements, the - work of increasing his business is likely to be slow. And yet it he does thus loud up with large stocks at concessions jn price, he may have to hold them so Jong that he, would :)iavc oueri better oif if he had not taken advantage of such oilers. Newspaper advertising iurmsnes the means by which the enterprising concern can go in for such expan sion without inucn risK. The wide 'awake store buyer is toiisumtiy contracting for large quantities of stutf oiterea iiim at price concessions, on the idea that' by making a special drive for trade through advertising such ft lot, he can bring the crowd into his store, increase his sales beyond thoir usua. point, and work off such large lots 6 merchan dise at a profit. ' '..";; Iii that way he not merely handles that offer success fully, but he has done much to create a wider interest in his store. . Those who were attracted by that special bar gain will buy something else, and they will bq attracted to come to that store again. Thus advertising is a wonder ful means of public patronage. If it wpra not for that means or obtaining public support, he would have to turn down many offers which he would like to accept, and which the "public is glad to participate in. .'. ,, ,'.',.... . , , 1 PPUNE memws 1?y X5rjT ff.FATESO While President Coolidge expressed considerable doubt a few days ago, whether a further reduction in taxes could be made at present, hopes are expressed at Washington that the congress to be elected this fall will be able to make an ad ditional cut, . . li'he American people want) the work of paying off their great debt to go steadily on. The debt is still so big that the mterest.on it is morcj than the government was spending for ordinary purposos before it entered the war. But of course if something moro could bo lopped off from the taxes, it would help business. When people have to spend money for tuxes, they can't spchd it for something else that they want.- Still, it would help the country more if some genius should show us how to got state and municipal taxes down irom their high level. - , ; 'J -o- -h '..;';.,''. - Tho. clothing specialists of the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical college thinks that new clothes make women, feel more comfortable and self possessed and that they act as a physical tonic. She thinks that much of the self conscious ness and 'awkwardness which many women feel comes from "the feeling that their clothes are not right. Cynical people may remark that the average woman does not need that advice, as she already spends more than she can afford on her clothes, Still, when you consider how women sacri fice for their families, it is hard to feel that the average women is extravagant. ' If some husbands could cut out wasteful ways in which they spond money, thoir wives would often bo able to afford new garments that would give them more confidence and contentment.

Over at Corvnllis some months ago a drunken game warden, con victed In Justice and circuit courts and sentenced to prison, was re peatedly reprieved by tho gover nor, and so far as we huve heard, never did serve hia sentence.

Dyer, General Manaaer of the Southern Pacific Company, asks the question "Would you carrv 2,000 pounds of merchandise more than two miles for a 3-cent naner of pins?" The article features the idea that It is only by savings ac complished in taking euro of old hose, old twine, worn out boiler tubes and like items that Hail roads are able to avoid bank ruptcy. Doubtless the article is being widely published in all Southern Pacific territory. Fear ing that but few will attempt to reply, I Bubmlt tho following: ' Yes. Mr. Dyer, provided with the equipment and the opportuni ties of the Southern Pacific. I would haul two thousand pounds more than three miles for (lie price you are charging for haul I'B the. ton two miles; and I would accomplish the additional mile by the bi-iple expedient of eliminat ing from my calculations all such tom-iooiery as "Papers of Pli8, Dottles of lied Ink" piffle with which the railroads have featured their pernicious publicity propa ganda during the recent past. My attention would be given to the fur more essential items of ''Elim inating tho parasites that prey upon railroad revenues," giving to the shippers the vast sums spent ill printing and publishing and disseminating propaganda, For "Papers of pins", I would substi tute "Millions Saved by Abolish ing Private Car Lines," for "Bot tles of Bed Ink" I would substi tute 'Southern Pacific Oporates Its Own Express Service." In place of spending enormous sums for propaganda that accomplishes nothing, I would give my shippers a service ana such tucmties and nt Buch rates that each and every one of them would be a champion of my company and Its policies and 1 would have no need to fuBs over old boiler tubes, old twine und worn out air hose iteniB on which you seem to major leaving all such minor details to the junk 1UUI1. But since you seem determined to. express your service in terms of pins, ink, old hose and the like, let us apply the same units of value to agricultural products.
