ISb
IT THE
METHOD OF
MAIL ORDER
MERCHANDIZING
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 worthy of it, he will extend it
glad’y. Then why not
Favor Healers 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
yon 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. Fut your con
fidence in merchants who have confidence in you.

White Wigs for Women
Will Be In Vogue Soon
LONDON, Jan. 20.—Wigs are com
ing back.
London damsels are getting bored
with bobs. Wigmakers here are get
ting busy following a tip that ultra
fashionable continental sets have en
dorsed the wig mode.
Just now searchers are visiting con
tinental Europe buying hair.
White hair is very sought after be
cause the dealers think that immedi
ately following the craze for short
hair there will be a craze for white
wigs.
More than $10 an ounce is paid for
the beautiful tresses from the magni
ficent heads of hair worn by Belgian,
French and Central European women.
Wherefore the price of finished wigs
is going to be very high.
The new wig, an expert declares,
should not be confused with the old
fashioned sort. They will be made in
cap shapes of white hair and will be
wonderfully becoming to women of
all ages.
Mr. Van Emple will meet all those
interested in the study of French at
the home of Mrs. Chas. Hinde in the
Arcade at 8:00 o’clock tonight.
FRENCH WARN SOVIET TO
STOP ALL PROPAPANDA
Despite the tremendous ovations
given Leonid Krassin (above) Soviet
Minister to France, the Herriot Cab
inet has emphatically stated that un
less the Third Internationale ceases
its Communist propaganda in France,
Krassin will be given his passports
and put out of the country. Unless
the Soviet desist, there is little hope
of any sort of relations between the
French Republic and Russia.
Tomorrow night the radio fans will
listen in to the big Post-Intelligencer
station. A special concert will be
given by Alaskans for Alaskans. As
Seward has a number of fine radio
sets of the Radiola type we should
hear KJR without difficulty.
CRITICS OF JAPAN ARE
BRANDED MERE JINGOES
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19.—
Public critics of Japan were brand
ed as “jingoes” in the senate the
other day by Senator Owen, demo
crat, Oklahoma, who also charac
terized members of congress who
denounce a foreign government as
“trespassers on the rights of the
executives of the governments.”
Senator Owen declared the Ameri
can people were friendly toward
Japan, “Pacific coast conditions not
withstanding,” and asserted that the
thrift and industry of Japanese la
borers on the Pacific coast demand
ed admiration.
“Japan does not want war,” he
continued, “and why should we
penalize industry and thrift by stir
ring hatred toward this nation? Ja
i panese are intensely patriotic and
! deserving of our admiration.”

SAPIRO LAYS PLANS
TO SUE HENRY FORD
CHICAGO, Jan. 19—Aaron Sapiro,
counsel for several farmers’ co-oper
ative organizations, yesterday mailed
to Henry Ford a document prelimi- j
nary to a projected libel suit for $1,- j
1000,000 against Mr. Henry Ford.
The document in which Mr. Sapiro’s
1 allegations appear is a formal demand
| for retraction-required by Michigan
laws as a preliminary to a libel ac
tion.
The suit, Mr. Sapiro said, on his
return from meetings of co-operatives
in Washington, will be filed in Detroit
j if after thirty days Mr. Ford does not
i retract certain statements alleged to
have been made in his journal, the
| Dearborn Independent. In a series
[of articles Mr. Sapiro alleges his name
! was linked with those of Julius Rosen
| wald, Otto Kahn, and Albert Lasker
j in charging him with participation in
an alleged Jewish conspiracy to con
trol agriculture or to organize farm
ers of America in the interest of com
munism.”
Nothing to Say
! DETROIT, Jan. 20.—W. J. Cameron
editor of the Deerborn Independent,
stated that he had “nothing to say”

Sapiro concerning libel suits against
the Independent, Henry Ford, and the
men connected with the Ford enter
prises here.
SOURDOUGH RELIGION
___.
I never got religion, like you hear
them talk about,
The kind that when you get it you
have to sing and shout;
But up here on the Yukon, in a quiet
sort of way,
There’s a sort of holy feeling that
fills me night and day.
And as I think about it—why, as far
as I can see,
The religion of the Yukon is good
enough for me.
I’ve never seen the temples they’ve
built throughout the land,
That rear these lofty steeples down
where the cities stand;
But I know these rock-ribbed canyons
and the streams that sing be
tween,
And I know they make a temple ’bout
as fine as ever seen,
Where God has been the architect and
where He builded free—
The temple of the Yukon is good
enough for me.
I never heard those organs ’bout
which they seem to blow,
That they put up in churches down
where the cities grow;
And I guess I wouldn’t understand
their “highbrow” harmonies
Like I do the gentle music of the
streams and of the trees.
But I love the Yukon’s whispers and
God, it seems to me, ’
Plays the music of the Yukon and its
good enough for me.

RAILROADS DENIED
LOWER SUGAR RATES
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—The
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads recently were refused per
mission by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to make, as they had re
quested, a special low rate on sugar
moving from Billings, Mont., to St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth.
The two roads sought to make the
reduction in the interest of Billings
sugar refinery interests and in mak
ing it, desired to maintain rate to
other northwestern points at the
present level. The commission held
such a reduction would be a viola
tion of the long and short haul
clause of the interstate commerce
act and would not be justified.
The only truly brave man in a
fight is one who knows he is going to
get licked.
Two can live as cheaply as one,
but it’s hard on the grocer who lets
them charge it.
