ping expedition, from Jaluit, ono '
of the South Hea Islands, to Toklo,
wes recently muda by the He v. C.
H. Heine, a representative of tht
American Hoard of Missions, who
has been stationed in this lonely,
far-uway post for 3& yeaira.
Out In tho Marshall Islands,
which is tho group to which Jaluit
belongs, vhero there are no auto
mobiles and where one pays calls
over a distunce. of 200 miles, the
llvv. Mr. Heine reports that con
siderable, progress is being made
among the natives under the super
vision of tho Japanese. Most ot
the Germans, he reports, left vol
untarily at the beginning of the
World war und the rest were de
ported when the war ended and
the Islands went put under Jap
anese inundate. , Now thero is only
ono other white on the Island be
side Dr. Heine, who Is on Austra
lian. There are no hotels and no
motion picture shows and no
umuseinents, und tho roads nro
mere pathways not inure than eight
feet wide, cut between tho plunlu
tlons und the jungle.
"No, tho South Keu Islands are
not exactly as painted by the ro
mnncers," said Ir. Heine, "ua far
as comfortable, living is concerned.
Hut It is quite true that the 0600
natives of the Marshall group are
an Industrious development of (lie
lund. There Is no great weulth and
yet thero is no poverty at nil. Some
of the native chieftains even liuva
private yachts which take them
from one island to the other, each
oiftt being between 60 and 100
miles apurt. They may even huve
planes some day,.
"Hut If one wants to cull on a
whllu friend In the South Sens, tho
nearest aro Hu hlblOeeelaolnupn
nearest uro in the Gilbert Islands,
whih uro under tho Jtrltlsh man
date und some 300 miles away."
"Mfe in tho South Sea Islands Is
fur the most part uneventful,"

says Iir. Heine, "and there was. on
period shortly after Iho World war1
when for more tnnn a year thd In
habitants were without newspapers
from the outside world. There had
been stories circulated In Sydney
and other quarters to tho effect
that tho Germans had prepared
oluborate fortif teat Ions and secret
supply bases In tho South Sea is
lands. l'or this reason the Japan
ese and other allied powers pro
hibited the islanders from any
communication with the out-world,
and bouts wero allowed to stop
only for tho purpose of landing
provisions. We heard vaguely about
the war from the Hps of tho Bea
inen. but it was not until every
thing was over that we wero able
to get any deflnlto news at all."

THE ORIGIN AND OPERATION OF
SKAGGS STORES
IIuhIih'KS policies are the charts by means of. which
successful undertakings uro steered through the seus
of eomnieree roud-inups, pointing the way to the de
sired destination. If they ' are rlfcht I hey h-ad to suc
cess Ihrourch service. If they are wrong well, the
coasts of commerce are strewn with the wrecks of busi
nesses that tried to operate under mistaken or deliber
ately deceptive policies. We who come into dally con
tact with eslablished policies of large Institutions ur6
pro no to take them as mat tern of course, und either
upp'-ovc or disapprove of them uncording to our various
llghls. Ha rely does it occur lo is to consider the man
' ner of their making or 'the amount of time and 1 nought
- sometimes days and weeks of concentrated study
that has led to their fuimulutiun und promulgation.
The first KUagffs slore difTercd from other sioreo
chiefly in the Important parllctilar of its almost unbe
lievably low operating cosls. Despite the fact that, it
was founded with the avowed d"1crminnllon of elimin
ating waste from the distribution costs of foodstuffs, it
was difficult to realize at first how much had really
he sccompllshefl and the extent lo which the methods
employed were destined lo influence retail practices.
Neither coild it reasonably Ik expected that the founder
could foreaeo and lay down' rules und policies to govern
the thousands of contingencies and problems Hint aroic
is I he business grew and spreud. These, hud lo be met
and solved us I hey presented I heinttelves and out or
their solution with which Ihe solution was npplled has
grown this vast organization and the polities and per
sonnel Unit have made Its outstanding success posslbU.
Kor Instance, it was discovered thai the savings In
operating cosls -as compared to the opeiuling costs of
11m- average retail grocery In themselves constituted u
liberal profit. Tho Federal (iuvernment. In lis Investl
gnlions of profiteering, had determined I hat from 16 to
is per cent was u fair operating cost for the average
grocery to which must be added a fair net pruNl.
operating cohIs In the HKnggs Wores were less than half
tie- amount allowed by the CnvernmenI- u condition due
enlirelv to the spirit. In which It was founded and the
operating economies effected and one which permitted
the new store to do IcislnewM and make a liberal profit
on a margin less than the actual costs of the average
More. This tact, plus Ihe disposition to share tho sav
ings effected with the consumer, enabled 1he firsl Hknggs
store lo do a constantly Increasing volume of business
und evenlually accumulate surplus sufficient lo war
rant the opening of a second store.
The second HKaggs store una opeiyd In October, I All.
nn.l subsequent like ventures followed In dm course
and order, but It Is worthy of note that In the working
out of a plan of operallon for the second store, good
l.urai.ess practices und the principle, of the Golden Hulc
w ere observed.
This plan was based upon, a profit-sharing Ideal of
equity lo the customer, the luiiniiger and the originator,
lis fruition Is evidenced by a practical, tangible, M'Ni'.
TM'NIN'l reiillty and Its uppliriiHoit bus served ( wyjie
a clo ly Mill organization alike in uiubltiou. disirea
and pruclicea.
It has grn a present and futiiro to clear headed
young men. who In Iheir ambition to achieve are thrice
willing to serve. H hux pit. responsibility in the hands
of those inowt affected nI lias never overridden 1 heir
rights nor ignored their Mess, privileges himI siggHl inn-.
It has attracted loyal henrled men men not susceptlbln
lo petty brllry nor shortsighted promises. J ims given
us more Ihiin thret hundred busy stores und upwards
of flfli-en hundred energetic young people w 1th trained
minds, open heiirts snd eager hands, thousands upon
thousands of patrons, n,,d It has elevated the stuudanlat
of food distribution fhroughuui the entire West.
