IT THE
METHOD OF
MAIL ORDER
MERCHANDISING
. Mail order concerns de
mand cash in advance. They won’t
take a chance. They won’t trust you.
They are the “fair weather friends” of
merchandising.
If a local dealer treated you in the
same manner you would be madder than
a wet hen. But he doesn’t. If you desire
credit and are ivorthy of it, he will extend it
glad'y. Then why not
Favor Dealers Who Will Favor You
Spot cash trading is of course the best
policy of purchasing. There are, however, times when
even those well heeled financially must resort to “credit”
buying. You may see the time when it will not be convenient for
you to “come across” with the cash. And when that time comes
the local merchant is the only one who will “accommodate” you. The mail
order house would turn you down cold. They want your business only when
they have your money in hand.
Unless you trade with home dealers when you have the
ready cash—don't ask for a “credit lift” in a pinch. It’s not just. It’s
net even common decency to expect your home town dealer to bear
the burden of your bills—when you refuse to do business with him when you
can do it on a spot cash basis.
By every reason of right your local merchants are entitled
to your patronage—every penny of it. They cater to your best inter
ests with the best brands of merchandise. Their quality standards are the
highest. Their lines are fresh—clean—right up to date in every particular.
Their prices mark the extreme limit of economical buying. They deal fairly.
Every dollar you spend with them buys actual value. None of it goes for ex
orbitant mail order expenses—costly catalogues—high salaried office workers. They don’t
attempt to lead you on with merchandising “lures”—with low prices on one or a few articles—
then high prices on all other goods.
They want your business. They will do everything within
their means to earn your patronage. They must handle your account
with care. They can’t stand to lose trade—because their field is limited.
Even if they were inclined (which they are not) to employ underhanded methods, they couldn’t
afford to—because it would kill them commercially.
Turn trade to the dealer who in turn will treat you right. Put your con
fidence in merchants who have confidence in you.

Finds Diminutive Bride
MANILA, Jan. 22.—Diki Diki, dimin

affections of Ajaratol, also a lilipu

shortly at Iolo, capital of the prov

Diki Diki, who is the most import

inches in height while his fiancee is
3 inches shorter.
Ajaratol who lives on the Island of
Usada, ten miles from North Ubian,
is 21 years old and has had many
suitors for her hand. Diki Diki, how
ever, in spite of his 50 years, has won
over all his competitors. Maharja
Kiram, Diki Diki’s chief rival for the
affections of Ajaratol is to be best
man at the wredding and Imam Ovil,
another rival, is to perform the Mo
hammedan ceremony. The grand
daughter of Hadji Butu, the most in
fluential Moro, is to be bridesmaid.
Some time ago when the public
school authorities gathered in all
children of school age, Diki Diki was
caught in the net. It was several
months before his real age was dis

ECLIPSE SATURDAY
BE ONLY ONE IN
NEXT CENTURY
(Hy Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Millions
of Americans will see, ^>n Saturday,
January 24, something they probably
will never see again, a total eclipse
of the sun in some places and a par
tial eclipse over the greater part of
the United States. There will not be
another in more than a century.
Those who live within a belt 100
miles wide and 5,000 miles long rang
ing from northern Minnesota across
northern Wisconsin and Michigan,
the Great Lakes to New York, Long
Island. Connecticut and Rhode Island,
parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Massachusetts will see the flam
ing sun blotted out on the morning
of the 24th, next Saturday. Those
who live near this path across the
country—a path that ends at sunset
near the north of Scotland—will see
the sun shadowed in part, the extent
depending on how near they live to
this belt.
In Duluth, Buffalo, New York, New
Haven and many other large cities
the eclipse will be total. The partial
eclipse will be very large, nearly to
tal in some of the larger cities includ
ing Boston, Providence, Albany, Phil
adelphia, Baltimore, Washington and
Chicago. As far south as New Or
leans, and as far west as St. Louis
land Omaha, the partial eclipse will be
i large.
i> In most of the central states the
j sun will rise more or less eclipsed;
| but from Lake Erie eastward, all of
the eclipse will take place after the
sun has risen.
In Newr York city the total eclipse
will take place about 9:10 a. m. and
i the time of the greatest eclipse for
most of the cities in the east that
keep Standard time will vary but a
few minutes from that. The partial
eclipse will begin about 8 o’clock in
1 the same section and the 'eclipse will
be over about half past ten.
When the eclipse becomes total the
; brighter stars and planets appear and
| also the beautiful solar corona that
1 the astronomer is so anxious to study.
This is a magnificent halo of pearly
j light extending to a great distance
; from the sun and different in shape
' and appearance at every eclipse, says
j a special bulletin of the American Na
i ture Association. It is never visible
except during a total solar eclipse
and can be studied only at that time
because its light is so faint that the
glare of sunlight in the daytime hides
it from view. It is only when the
moon comes between the sun and the
earth and shuts out the light of the
sun that the corona shines forth in
its wonderful beauty.
“All those who find themselves in
the path of total eclipse should look
for the shadow bands,—wavy bands
of light and shade that flit over the
landscape and buildings just before
and after the total eclipse,” says the
bulletin.
They should look out for the inter
esting phenomenon known as “Baily’s
Beads” which are seen as the thin,
thread-like solar crescent breaks up
into beads of light as the solar eclipse
is about to begin and which are seen
again just as it ends.
“Look also for the scarlet solar
prominences during the total eclipse,
which are flames of glowing gasses
of hydrogen and helium arising from
the hidden surface of the moon to
heights of thousands of miles and
visible beyond the edge of the moon
in queer forms and shapes.
“The brighter stars and planets ap
pear during the total eclipse, and even
a little before and after it. The plan
ets Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter,
should be seen in a close group some
distance to the southwest of the sun.
But above all else do not fail to make
the most of your opportunities to ob
serve the wonderfulu and mysterious
corona, which can never be seen ex
cept when the sun is totally eclipsed
and which very few people have had
the good fortune to see.
“Although the event of this one day
dwarfs all others by comparison in
the January skies, it is in midwinter
that evening skies are at their best,
the American Nature Association
points out. There are more brilliant
stars in view than at any other time
of the year, sparkling more when the
denser air is cold and frosty. If one
could look at these stars outside the
earth’s atmosphere, he would find they
do not sparkle at all, but shine with
a clear, steady light.
“We would see the stars in the day
time, too, as well as it night, for it
is the atmosphere that scatters the
light of the sun and makes the glare
of light all over the sky that hides
the stars from view by day. If we
could do our star-gazing from the
moon, we would be surprised to find
the sky thickly studded with stars in
the daytime, for on the moon there is
little, if any, air.”
