"It Is perfeelly ware ftt times to
sell the stock market short pro
vided you are the only one who Is
doing II The more people, how
ever, who Indulge In Hits short
selling, the more risky It becomes.
If too many persons sell the stock
market short, there develop a
corner und nil nro given a terrible
licking. The same principle ap
plies io hand-to-mouth buying, in
n I grudiially., declining commodity

policy. If, however, too

Creamery
You'll Never Be
Satisfied Without It
Because a good cook and a thrifty housewife knows that the
best butter is not too good for her kitchen and her table.
The tremendous Ri-owth in popularity of Meadow Harvest
since introduced to La Grande indicates' a quality that cannot
be excelled. It is convincing evidence of the uniform sweetness
and richness of this fine butter.
If you aren't already a satisfied Meadow Harvest user, try
a pound next time. Tick this distinctive carton today and every
day. It's the same butter used by Mrs. Wiswell in her cooking
demonstrations the good butter she insists on having.

under the hund-lo-mutilh system
merchants carry almost no reserve
whatever. Hence, when an ubrupt
change comes in I he weather,
such as un early or abnormally
hot summer, or uu early or severe:
winter, I hey ure caught with no
stock and ure obliged to turn
customers a way.
"The same general principle
applies to style changes. The pub
lic thinks that the manufacturers
make und change the styles, of
course they do attempt to do this
but they often full. In practice
they send samples around to the
jobbers us sort of tests. The Job
bers send out their salesmen with
the samples to try out the mer
chants, and the merchants In turn
try out the consumers. Thus they
find out whtit stylos und colors
run best be sold and plan accord
ingly. Heretofore merchants have
ordered enough to carry I hem
through the entire season but now
they are not doing this. Instead
they are depending upon the job
ber to replenish their stock In the
middle of the seuson If necessary.
Tuder normal conditions this
! might be all right but any mark
led Increase in the demand would
cause a stampede In the market
I for such goods,
i ' l iirorsceii Foreign (Pomph
J rations
j "Affairs in our country ore
j pretty much Settled, but con
ditions abroad are still very in
i settled. This applies not only
! to Kurope, but lo other countries
1 as well. Conditions in China are
very chaotic; fhe French are at
war with the Mohammedans In
Northern Africa; Russia Is still in
the hands of the unurehtsts; and
we may have a severe break with
Mexico at tiny time. Cpon nil of
these countries we are absolute
ly dependent for certain products.
We are dependent upon Japan for
silks, on China for tea, on the Kar
Kast for rubber, und on Mexico
for sisal nud many other products.
In past days manufacturers bou- '
ght big stocks of these products j
sufficient fop one or two years. If
necessary, without further Im
portations. Today, however. If
the supply of certain foreign pro
ducts were lo lie suddenly de
creased there would be n famine
In the market in a rew months.
i "Kvents lo cause a siampede In
certain Imported goods are liable
to happen at any time, ami in
dications at the moment are that
this Is especially true in the case
of Mexico. Therefore 1 strongly
advise manufacturers and mer
chants to keep In .stock a good
supply of Imported goods. Not
only Is It a good policy to prepare
against foreign political troubles,
but there Is not the same tenden
cy for Imported goods to declino
In price as for domestic goods.
Owing to the steady decline in
exchange and unemployment,
1 abroad. American buyers have
thus fur been able continually to
force down foreign prices. This,
however, will not continue for
ever and the time is fast ap
proaching when exchange may
turn in the opposite direction und
when there may be more unem
ployment In the I'nited States
than in Kurope.
tniaM For Labor Trouble
"The Fulled Slates has been
very free from labor trouble
during the past two years. There
ware fewer fewer strikes and
fewer men out on strikes during
ft24 than during any of the past
i'n or fifteen years. Manufact
urers ure even beginning lo get
cureless and of n It that 'red Ink
wnrnlng which we uel -we
on our order acceptances and
P Her-heads disavowing ant lia
bility In ease of strut .etc.
Kither these nia nu f uct n r-rs are
on strikes as the regular part .of
their routine of business or else
I hey have reuched the time when
they think there will be no .more
labor troubles. 1 don't want lo
be a erep hunger, but because
labor is quiet is u pretty sure sign
f hat sotnet hlng Is brewing. The
very fact thui we have few labor
iltsi urba rices at the present time
is one of the best reasons why
I hey may lie expected to develop
before the year is over.
"Cnder the old system, when
buxbiess bought a suppl v of raw
materials and merchandise cov
ering u year Or more in advance,
fit rlkes Were Ilol u Sffloils priee
fart or. If, - however, strikes
should occur today In certain in
dustries, prices of certain raw
materials and products would
shoot up to high figures because
manufacturers "have on ham) suf
ficient supplies io carry their
trade over a period of prolonged
labor trouble. The supply of
.such products would rapidly di
minish; Jobbers would be cleared
out; and merchants would be un
able to get goofls except at very
high prices. This Is a reason
why manufacturers and merch
ants should curry sufficient re
serves of domestic raw materials
and manufactured goods, as well
as imported raw materials and
merchandise. As nbove stated a
certain amount of hand-to-mouth
buying Is good, but too much of
It Is dangerous because some un
foreseen event Is ulways liable to
happen and business men should
be prepared for such.
lont Yutfk Out The .lohtx'rs
"If we are to continue hand-to-mouth
buying, the jobber is ab
solutely essential to trade , and
rommerce because he forms sort
of a cushion between the manu
facturer und0lhe retailer. Yet
the tendency today Is to eliminate,
tho Jobber. Manufacturers are
trvlng to reach Hie retailers and
l,v Oj'tciimer.", direct; while con
sumers are endeavoring lo huv
products direct from the factory
or from the mine. I am not dis
couraging this practice, as it has
Its good features; but I must sound
a warning note ugainst climinat -ing
the Jobber. It a merchant is
to get on without ilie jobber, he
must take the jobber's place and
carry a big stock of goods. If h
he Is to do a hand-to-mouth busi
ness, the jobber Is absolutely es
sential. I am not making an ap
peul for speculative buying. I do
not believe in speculation at all,
as U Is dangerous If nor unethical.
On the other hand, 1 see ihe dan
ger of the present tendency of ",l
business going on a hand-to-mouth
basis. A appeal for a middle road
policy. Manufacturers and merch
ants should take a medial position
between that of the speculator and
that of the hand-to-mouth buyer,
or course this needs an under
standing of fundamental condi
tions arid the trend of commodi
ties, prices, supply und demand,
a mourn produced und consumed,
etc. There ure, however, several
ri-liable siatlsiical Ht-rvh-v which
furnish this information making it
available to nil ut a yrnall co.-i.
Money so spent Is well spent.
'In conclusion let me say that
(hi b:nid-to-inoul h policy must be
most carefully watched by every In
j vest or. especially while money rales
'are now so easy. The declaration
i of peace a few jeurs ago caused
business men to -be caught wnn
great Inventories dm- to whi. h cor
poration and Investors lost -great
Minis of money. Today an untore-se.-
event may cause almost as
great loss.s when these same peo
ple find themselves with no re
serve tmpplv of raw materials or
merchandise. Therefore, this pul
ley of hand-io-inouth buying is be
coming dangerous nicior in
tstoek market us w"H as In general
huslness. Of course none 01' tin-He

When It Comes To
Satisfyin
ousewiie
That's a job we take particular pleasure in and accomplish with a big measure
of success, in our opinion.
Satisfying a housewife with grocery and meat service is a big job and a diffi
cult job because she, in turn, must satisfy the family with good cooking and good
meals. If we fall clown, she falls down. So we take special pains to see that our
end of the bargain is always as near perfect as possible.
If you have learned how to make a new cake or bread or cook a meat differ
ently you'll find supplies for your own trial right here. We are always on deck to
see that they satisfy in your own kitchen.
