Government Urjron People to Pay at Time of Purchase us Avenue to Success in Every Household. By H. 1. Power (Of J. C. Penney Co.) Never before In the hlBtory ot the United States, especially so far as buying and selling is concerned, will business show such marked changes than this and coming years. x The government Is urging the business principle of buying for cash as the best, cheapest and most business like for everybody. Realizing that the credit business has tended toward more failures in - business and caused more trouble -with customers, It is the aim to foster the cash paying Idea for all commodities. It Is not necessary to discuss at length the merits of pay ing cash for all goods. Stability is one of the first things that is noticed when it comes, to the change from credit to cash. , The buyer has a dif ferent attitude when he is paying cash. He thinks more carefully about quality. He is more unVilllng to take cheaper goods. He is paying cash and will receive the exact worth ot his money. Credit business tends toward prodigality one of the greatest abuses ot credit. To be able to go to a merchant and to know that extension of credit will be given tends toward extravagance, which militates against both buyer and seller. No merchant wants to load up a customer just because he is ! willing to buy. The customer often unthinkingly, exceeds an allowance, What the people today need is to get on a cash basis of buying. Habit in this may, at first, be difficult to establish, but In the end it is safer, ' surer and all around more satisfac tory for both. The average buyer . may not realize that it is far cheaper for him to go to a bank and borrow the money with which to make cash purchases. By doing this the buyer knows at once Just where he stands. He knows when a note has to be met and he does, as a rule.- Regard-J ing the credit basis ot doing busi ness, the buyer has little or no idea where he stands and he finds it dif ficult ever to rise out of the hole of debt. If every family would attempt to budget itself that is, to estimate what its expenses for a coming month would be, at the same time setting aside a . sinking fund for ' emergencies there would be fewer debts. The average household, as it is generally conceded, is not run on a business like basis. We do not make comparisons and estimates. We Just buy and buy without regard to the future. A business house do ing business on this basis Inevitably would fail. That Is why so many households fail, financially. To get on a cash basis means self respect, stability .and prosperity. About this, we all concede the point. Start paying cash this year. Put it in "THE BULLETIN.' We , Have DIAMONDS From $10 to $1400. The Gift with a value as well as a sentiment.

It was good to get Into them; You have no Idet how helpless you are uiitl, you get into the uniform of tho United States army. You may have been a $10,900 a year man; you mny have mnnuged the largest office tu the state from which you came; you may have been United States semitor, or you may have been just u common every day American, who works like the devil with his hands and feet. It makes no difference. They are all alike. , - Well, (to refer to army clothes. I remember the first day I lined up for clothes. You may have never seen an army camp.' There they dish out the clothes, equipment and food to you Just as though Americans were all ot the same size, weight aniLca- paclty.There is but one exception and that is in the case of shoes. I have seen six-footers draw clothes that would be small tona man five feet-five. I have seen the chap five feet five get an O. D. shirt that would Just about fit Jess Wlllard. Fit means nothing to one of the quar termaster corps sergeants. They look you over with a nonchalant eye. much the same as a buyer does a horse. He calls out "seven" when he glances at your dome; '"four" when he loo"(s at your neck, "eight" when he takes a hasty glance at your shoes; "three" on underwear and "two" on uni form. You are slid through the mill like a Ford being assembled. As to putting ion these duds you know little, type for type and quality for quality, leg every time. .Half your 'buttons are left unbuttoned, which always calls forth the rasping voice of the 'Searg." You stand and feel like you did the first time you spoke a poem on Washington's birthday. To express it correctly I would say It Is unythlng but a fcrund and glor ious feeling, . MIsIMh are Numerous. You are self-conscious beyond con ception. You feel as It everybody wus looking ut you, 11 ml you alone. You cuu't, put your hands In your pockets because that Is distinctly mi miliary, aud anything that is uhmlll tary Is unbecoming to a gentleman. You wish you never had been given hands. The campaign lint wus not made to fit your particular cranium. The Bhoes feet like tons ot brick, but comfortable, that is euro. But the fit. You Bwoar that It you can .ever get that sergeant out alone at night you will beat him to death. The best little thing you can do Is to stay In bed some Saturday, send your uniform to .the tailor and get the necessary'alteratlons. However, sooner or later, you feel at home. The uniform sure makes you want to stand up. I have seen fellows that have been walking behind the plow. , You know the step they have yards long. . I have Beeu the lad who has been warklng In the office. You knowthe hollow chest and round shoulders. Well, they all straighten out when they get In the uniform. ' The neater your uniform looks, the better shine you get on your shoes, the cleaner your legglns and' shirt, the bettor soldier you, yourself feel you are. And now to come back to 'Wvles." That's the grand feelln". No leggius to strap up in the morning. No worry about those buttons. A clean white collar and a shirt that suits you.r fancy. Gee! But it's good to get back to the free and easy clothes you can buy now. NEW THREE-PIECE SUIT FEW CHANGES IN HAT STYLES BRAIDS, FEATHERS AfiD . RIB BONS FIGURE LARGELY .

Fashion as appertaining to millin ery means mode of structure, pat tern, model and method ot wearing. The "how a hat Is worn" has a very important bearing.- This determines ! In a large measure whether the hat is right or wrong in style. At present the crept) hat, the rough straw hat or combination of the two seems to lead among the novelties, while six-ply Milan braid basket weave -hat Is the latest de velopment along that line and will probably be a popular bat next year. However, no novelty Is worn by the majority. The average well dressed woman will use a present style model (shape) trimmed in the present style of trimming and will I ELKS, ATTENTION!
