BY EXPERT AT
LIONS MEETING
Retailing was the Subject" cover
ed by Prof. H. T. Vance of the
school of. commerce, Oregon State
college. in his address today noon
at the regular luncheon of the
local Llonn club at Hotel Medford.
The lesson brought to local mer
chants was emphasized by the use
of -four -lantern 'slides, 'wrtfch il
lustrate the value of co-operation
and the dangers of petty practicesJ
in competition,
Oregon State college is inaugur
ating a -10 year program of con
strucUve. work for merchants, Prof.
Vane stated, having realized the
need for research work in this de
partment. This need is evidenced In the
fact that- 30 per cent of the peo
ple engaged in the retailing busi
ness Tail- each year, he stated;
most of them because of lack of
Information rather than capital.
"The- retailer Is here to serve
the public," Professor Vance ex-
plained, "whether he realizes it or
not. , The public Is becoming serv
ice wise , and .demands , service."
He. pointed to the woman as the
. person to be considered first, show
ing that the greater-part of .the
American dollar is xpent by her.
He urged merchants to be ready
to adopt new ideas In merchandis
ing, to listen to the opinions of
others and to be. considerate of
their competitors. Quoting Krank
lin', he said, "The-man who learns
from .himself alone has a fool for
a . teacher."
The merchant who Is constant
ly 'complaining because customers
buy "Out of town was condemned
by.the speaker,' who. stated, "He
should be spending more time try-
ing to find out why they buy out
of town instead of reading hat
bands.' People don't wilfully go
away from home to buy."
A questionnaire sent out to cus
tomers of this state, brought back
an enlightening list of reasons
why people .do not tradent cer
tain' shops. Leading among the
reanons, quoted by Professor Vance
were: Indifference of sales folks.
Ignorance of merchnndlso, haught
iness, too much insistence, errors I
and delays in service and poor and j
shoddy merchandise.
Necessity for advertising nnd 1
dangers of exaggerating the qual
ities of the product in advertise
ments, were emphasized by Pro
fessor Vance, who stated, "The un
t truths told by some advertisers in
endangering advertising for all' of
us. What the people- want is in
formation." Banjo Jackson, fiob Emmens and
Jack Bier ma entertained the
Lions with several musical num
bers during the luncheon.
Plans for the. July chamber of
commerce forum, which will be
held ot Friday at Hotel Medford

CRATER LAKE. Ore. July 16. j
(Special) If you wero to viyUV
Crater lake now. and were to seat!
yourself upon some log or rock
near the lodge, you would sud-1
denly find yourself the object of
much interest to n number ofj
liny, fur-covered animalrf, namely.
chipmunks. Their interest! doesj
not lie chiefly in you: but In the(
fact1 that you are, perhaps, the
possessor of food. j
Nuts, crackers and certuin kinds
of candy are especially prised.
They will do almost anything to;
gain these much-loved morsels.!
They will stand up and beg and"'
sometimes they will even put onj
a pretty good fight for you. !
A day or so ago one f the j
guests at the hotel sat on the ve-j
randa, having filled hln pockets
and hands with nuts. He Waited
but n few moments. There wusi
a streak across the porch and a

squeal and then chase around

shed, though occasionally an un

Then ho will hide his head in
