Funeral services wore held from tho homo Sunday after noon Ilov Walker of Payette con ducting the sorvlces and tho little ono laid to rost In tho Hlvorslde Comotery. Tho sympathy of tho entire community goes out to the Wilcox faintly at this tlmo. Marshall Flold, Chicago's formor inorcliniit and president or tho com pany that boars his namo mado tho following stntoment In addressing n convention of Country merchants: "Vou country merchants constantly speak of tho mall order houso pro. blom and yet you do not seom to rcnllzo Hint you aro tho muse and also too solution for It." This was n strong stntoment and yet It is surprisingly true. Whon tho farmer desires to buy products such ns groceries, dry goods, hardworo otc, thoro automa tically comos to his mind tho iiinncs of n number of dealers engaged In tho handling of thoso products. To many tho names of tho local mer chants do not hnvo any grentor In fluonco In making him decide from whom ho will purchnso thnn will that of Soars Itoobuck, Montgomery Wnrd. Tho nverago farmer fools ' Hint tho country merchant Is Interested moro In what ho can mako out of tho farmer rather than how ho can aBslst In mnktng tho producer moro prosperous nnd thereby mako his own business n success. Tho ron Bon for this attitude on tho part of mo ngnruituriBt is largely duo to the fact that tho merchants hnvo not demonstrated that they woro ucttvoly interested In tho farmers probloms. Judging by tho number of busi ness moil that attend the farmers meetings, the producers nro scorn lugly Justified In their nttltudo. Too often tho commercial men of tho country pass on tho desirability or tho undcfllrnblllty of tho various cooporatlvo enterprises tho farmers bring Into oxistonco, without over having nttondod n meeting for tho purposo of discussing tho vnrlous plans offered for tho solution of farm probloms. Tho country morchnnt must keep In mind that tho wolfaro of his business ontorprlso doponds lnrgoly on tho prosperity of tho agricultur al producors about tho town, Duo to tho tromondous decrease In tho prlco of agricultural products, tho purchasing power of tho farmers has boon reduced flvo to night bil lion dollarn. Tho embarrassed fin ancial condition has nlroady reflect ed Itsolf In tho sales made by our largo mall ordor houses. Tho fol lowing figures show tho per cent docronso in salos in 1921 it three companies ns compared with tho sumo months of tho previous year' Fob. Jan. Doc. Soars Itoobuck.. CO 3f 47,11 38.10, Montgy.

Country morchnnts hnvo an ad vantage ovor tho mall order houses In that thoy can havo personal con tact with those who Ho In tho rural districts. Fow country business men hnvo capitalized this to tho fullest oxtcut possible. "Good Will" Is a vnluablu assot nnd represents tho doslro of your patron to deal with you rather than with any ono olso ongngod In tho snmo lino of business. In ordor to ncaulra tho good will of tho farmer n morchnnt must first, soil nt rcasonnhlo prices; second, rendor efficient sorvtco, nnd third, tnko an active luterost In tho affairs of th patron with n view to nsslstlng him to become moro pros porous. Too many merchants tako a nan slvo interest rather tjmn nn activo and constructive Interest In the agriculturalist's wolfaro. Whnt con stitutes mi activo nnd constructive Intcrost? It consists In nldlng tho fnrmcr to secure all Hint can bo ob tained for his products consistent with lnw of supply and deninnd. It consists In nldlng him to Bccuro reasonable transportation rates nnd adonuato finances so that ho may mnko farming n success. It consists In nldlng him to tnnko a success of cooporatlvo marketing enterprises winch nro legitimate and founded on snfo nnd sound business principles. Huslnoss mon do not sccuro tho "good will" of farmers by falling to attend fnrmorH meetings, by knocking legitimate cooporatlvo en terprises nnd by emphasizing his weak points. Tho Commercial Club that sponds moro tlmo discussing "whnt kind of a Fourth of July colobra Hon" the town should hnvo than It docs on "How can wo got tho fnrmor lowor transportation rates" or dovotos a groat deal moro enorgy nnd money In promoting nn "Ico mnnufncturlng plant In town" thnn It docs In nsslstlng producers In so curing tho efficient mnrkotlng of tholr products, will find It exceed ingly difficult to sell morhborahlps to producers. Tho morchnnt who sponds tlmo nnd monoy In conducting n "Iluy nt Home" or a "Huy Oregon Pro ducts" campaign nnd then ships In butter whllo tho cooporatlvo cream ery In tho snmo town Is forcod to ship olsowhoro butler of Just as good n grndo, or tho huslnoss mnn who sells chcosn mado In Wisconsin in preference to Oregon mado chooso, of evon quality bocauso ho can mako n cent oxtrn per pound, is not building up tho assot callod "goodwill." Tho "mall order problom" will bo solved Just as soon as tho business men In tho rural confers gel to gothor and mako nn effort to solvo tho acquisition of "goodwill."
