More business could probably is be done by shading the prices some- what, but holders are inclined to be quite firm and decline to do this. in the but the strong statistical position of this ar- ticle continues to be reflected in other markets. Some buyers have just awakened to the fact that stocks are very small and assortments very broken and are coming into the mar- ket to complete their broken assort- ments, and are consequently obliged to pay full prices for all they buy. Rice—The rice situation South remains unchanged, Molasses—Although there is prac- tically no demand at all for molasses, prices are very firmly held, with deal- ers showing no disposition to force the market, in view of the strong sta- tistical position and small spot stocks.

A clerk and good poor clerk will create and increase the disagreable details, and a good clerk will share and lessen them. Good clerks, however, are not very often born; they have to be made and educated in the vocation. When a boy of 14 years of age, I was put into the retail grocery busi- men’s and a mule’s work. That is exactly what it meant. I had to do work from 5 a. m. to 9 p. m. and on Sundays, too, excepting two hours in the forenoon, when all stores were |closed, to give everybody a chance to to church. This was the only chance we had to steal a little time. £0 There were five of us. One had to go to church and bring us the text of the sermon, while the other four enjoyed a little game of rolling nine- pins, in some’ out of the way place. We rolled nine-pins because we did not know anything about strikes or walking delegates in those days. The first thing I was taught here was to sweep. It did not mean to take a broom and run through the store with it. It meant to sweep clean. The next thing to make pa- per bags, and to make these as large ble out of as little paper as goods and how to save every nail we extracted. How to handle goods | and how to take care of them and how to do it in the most economical | manner and without losing any un- time.

The village newspaper printed a two column lament over her death. In its sincerity, it forgot to be flam boyant. The local bard, who lives four miles from the village, learned of her loss and contributed an ode to her memory. Full of blemishes, the verses were nevertheless full of feeling for the woman and an undis- puted testimonial to her.

At 1 o'clock she left the ball room for the veranda on the arm of the wine merchant. At 2:30 she stepped through the window, followed, not by the wine merchant, but by the youth from Michigan. “Am I to wish you happiness, dear child?” asked the physician’s wife, as the girl approached her. “Wish me peace,” she replied. “You are the bride to be of a noble man,” the woman ventured. “Yes,” the girl answered.

At day here goes the evening of the of the woman’s death, the phy- sician was told by his wife that the woman they had seen at the Martha dinner, on Washington ball years before had died. “That mystery will evidently never be explained,” the wife ended, reminiscently.

This was the case with rumchundas. Salesman after sales- man called upon buyers and urged them to order from them. The buy- ers took their pick and what they did not take clogged the market with the inevitable result that every line which did not possess either great novelty or great quality had to be sacrificed. The result of the dull spring sea- son and the rumchunda slump will have no lasting effect on the market Prices and_ spirits revive quickly when orders come in The warm weather has brought in new business and it is safe to predict that when the closes goods at regular season more prices will have been disposed of than ever before.

The warm spell brought in telegraphic as well as mail orders and something like the old time activity pervaded the market. The sale of white hunting stocks was unusually good. These are practical- ly the only stock that sells, the fancy effects being out of it. The stocks will be worn as much as they ever have been by golfers, wheelers, au- toists and by men roughing it in the country as well as by riders and driv ers. There is a solid and permanent place in every retailer's shop for stocks. In the washable cravats the 114 inch four-in-hand in the new fan- cy mercerized weaves have sold well, as have the new ties Ascots are very quiet. It was thought that with the rise in popular favor of the wing collar the broad white ascots would sell, but men seem to jump from win ter dress into summer dress, passing entirely over the intermediary stage which calls for goods lighter than those worn in winter, but of the same form and general characteris- tics The improvements made in. bara- theas practically amount to a revo- lution. Painstaking and scientific ex- periments have resulted in the mak- ing of new machinery and loom at- tachments and now the sturdy ba- ratheas are being offered in the most intricate and twisty allover patterns as well as in the geometrical, clean cut units for which this weave is famous. The new fall patterns show very small and closely assembled units, wavy lines in very clean cut floral effects, divided cube patterns, scattered units, and the most intricate general patterns.

Malignity itself could not devise a more unattractive figure of a girl than one who lets her old mother work for her. No man wants such a wife. she is Once upon a time I knew precisely stich a as this, in which the mother was a veritable slave, and so case proud of her daughter’s hands, which white and soft as a lily and beautiful enough for an artist’s mod- were el, that she would not even let the girl peel and slice an orange for her own eating.

There comes a crucial moment in girl when the life of every boy and they get discouraged and dishearten- ed and ready to throw up whatever they are doing, simply because it is hard and disagreeable. In that mo- ment one’s fate trembles in the bal- ance, and almost without exception it is determined by the kind of par- ents the children have. If they are strong, wise and forceful, they hold the youngsters steady—as a com- mander holds his troops who are on the verge of panic—they instill fresh courage and new grit into the falter- ing little hearts, and the boy and girl go on to success in life. But if the parent is one of the overly-tender she “Come kind, home. Do not do anything that is so hard. Per- says: haps you can get something easy af- ter awhile,” and the young one’s doom is fixed.

If one could always keep their nest lings under the shelter of their wing, there would be reason for this exces- sive tenderness, but they can not. Soon the little wings will spread, and whether they fall or rise de- pends upon the strength that is in them. True, the parent can not fight the child’s battle, for in the end each of us grapples alone with our fate, but he can prepare him for it. There are muscles and sinews of the soul no less than the body, and as these are trained and are strong or weak and flabby, so do we win or lose. Dorothy Dix. ~~. 6. How They Buy Their Hats. That between men and women is exempli there are radical differences fied in no more striking manner than in the way in which they buy their headwear.

She flings each down until there is a goodly pile about her. At this stage the stately saleswoman saunters up and asks in a noncommittal tone ‘Did you want a hat?’ the first woman tries on thre more and then says carelessly was just loking thes« er Have you anything in the way of a perique straw with ingrowing flounces?’ Then she readjusts her own hat, looks at herself complacently and moves along. The saleswoman knows. she for an imposible style just to asks get away. The woman trips to the next shop and another, buys a pair of shoe- strings and goes home. This is on Monday. On Tuesday she starts in again, About to the highest-price shop, begins the shops. Saturday she sails in- usual piling up process, and_ then, with a whoop of delight, finally seizes on the last hat on the wire heads and cries as she hugs it: “Oh! What a love of a hat! That’s exactly what she wore!” She then makes overtures to the saleswoman, and they begin negotia tions for the possession of the deed that will make over this hat—this and none other—to the purchaser. Minor points have to do with retrimming shaping, etc., and finally the hat is hers She And man ste store he man rt off his ot a box, head, takes $3, he wrapped der by under the man’s arm and escorts him to the street.

It Will Not Effect An Immediate Revolution. The discovery of the peculiar prop- erties of radium and other by-prod- ucts of pitchblende has started the scientific world searching for other sources of radio-activity. Some scien- tists are apparently temporarily de- ranged on the subject in the exuber ance of their enthusiasm over the possibilities which a plentiful supply of radio-active substances may pro- duce.

Not a few persons who have the “bank habit,” but whose balances are never very large, often wonder where the profits to the banks come in from such accounts. They note the uni- form courtesy and consideration al- ways accorded them by the bank’s officers and employes, whether it be when they appear at the counter in person or through their correspond- ence by mail, and they are very sure that the carying of their small ac- counts is acceptable to the bank some- where or somehow; so a natural ques- tion is, why do the banks want such accounts? To such persons an address by Mr Frank Noble delivered not long ago before the Buffalo Chapter of the American Institute of Bank Clerks will prove interesting. He entitled his remarks, “The Profit and Loss of Bank Accounts,’ and these sugges- tions were made as to the _ best methods of ascertaining whether an individual acount is really profitable: \ shrewd banker begins to inquire into the details of his husiness and demands answers to these questions: First, are there individual accounts on the books that are being carried at a loss; and, second, are the arrange- ments with correspondents such that collections are made at a minimum of cost? “Taking the first of these questions this problem immediately presents it- i self:What method shall be used in determining the value of an open ac- count? “IT take it that most of you know of the plan to find the average cost of accounts by dividing the annual ex- pense by the number of accounts and } multiplying this by the per cent. of 1 1 xpense to net dep: which wil give the balance which the account must maintain to be on a paying ba is. As it was manifestly unjust to treat large and small accounts alike. one cashier has ingeniously figured the cost according to the number of ems handled and also according to the size of the balance. The average of the three computations would be the cost of the account “This is indeed a very clever method, and there is much in it to commend it to our earnest considera- tion, not the least of which is the ease with which the result is reached; but that it is as valuable to us as it is it Mew York city, | very much doubt, because the conditions are quite different. There you will find that commercial banks pay interest only in very exceptional cases, and that the exchange charges are much more uniform, so that such a method would be reasonably accurate. Here, although most accounts do not receive interest, nevertheless some fortunate ones get 2, 2! Or 4 per cent., whichever they can squeeze out; then some pay exchange on almost all their out-of-town checks, some pay only the cost, and still others do not pay any exchange. Besides this, one is apt to run across other special concessions which make it imperative that each account be treated separately; this can best be done by a careful analysis, going about the work in a thorough man- ner and bringing to bear everything that will affect the profit or loss upon the account.” —+-_~<> 9 ~ | 00000000 00o00oes $0000000000000000 BUSINESS SYSTEM ESPEGIALLY FOR YOU Sent Teee you want charge, a special for f It YOUR business ithe many frest sent free on request.

PPE ere The Test That Tells the superiority of Diamond Crystal Salt, the test given the dairy products at the various butter and cheese-makers’ conventions. No better illustrations of the exceedingly high quality of ‘‘‘#e Salt that’s ALL Sa/t’’ could be offered than the rec- ords of these tests. At the last Nation- al Creamery Buttermakers’ Conven- tion, Milwaukee, in October; at the last Michigan Dairymen’'s Convention; at the recent Minnesota Buttermakers’ Convention and the Minnesota Dairy men’s Convention; at the Illinois Dairymen’s Convention, and at the Wisconsin Cheesemakers’ Convention, butter or cheese, salted with Diamond Crystal Salt, was awarded the highest prizes. There’sa good reason for this; and the same good reason that wins prizes for the butter maker, will win trade for the grocer who sells Diamond Crystal Salt—it’s the merit of the salt.

Money has become known on account of its good qualities. Merchants handle Mica because their customers want the best axle grease they can get for their money. Mica is the best because it is made especially to reduce friction, and friction is the greatest destroyer of axles and axle boxes. It is becoming a common saying that “Only one-half as much Mica is required for satisfactory lubrication as of any other axle grease,” so that Mica is not only the best axle grease on the market but the most eco- nomical as well. Ask your dealer to show you Mica in the new white and blue tin packages.
