'■m
tS 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 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 yott.

BORAH MAY REVIVE HIS
PLAN FOR INTERNATIONAL
ECONOMIC CONFERENCE
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19.—
Senator Borah of Idaho, chairman of
the foreign relations committee, is
considering revival of his plan for
| an international economic conference
jand he may couple it with a proposal
for further limitation of armaments.
A resolution designed to bring
principal powers together in a dis
cussion of economic questions was
introduced by the Idaho senator last
session but no action was taken on
it. Despite the operations of the
Dawes plan, Mr. Borah believes
there remains financial and idus
trial questions that require united
treatment by the nations, and he
has expressed an opinion many
times that armaments and finances
should be regarded as related sub
jects.
One of the questions he would like
to see settled is the total sum Ger
many is to pay in reparations. He
also desires that both Germany and
Russia be called into consultation
on the important international ques
tions now pending.
The senator said today he might
present a resolution for an interna
tional conference shortly, but had
not definitely made up his mind and
would be guided by circumstances
in determining the form of the pro
posal and the time of its presenta
tion.
RIGHT APPLICATION OF
HEAT SPELLS SUCCESS
Successful cake baking not only
requires accurate measurements of
ingredients but the right applica
tion of heat. Use regulation meas
uring cup. Use level measurements
whether cup, teaspoon or table
spoon. Always sift flour and sugar
once before measuring. Cake pans
should sit perfectly level in the
oven while baking cake. Never turn
down the heat when a cake is in
the oven as it will invariably fall.
Better begin with an underheated
oven than an overheated one. Cakes
bake more slowly when using a
liquid vegetable fat.
SEATTLE COUNCILMEN MAY
SEEK BOOST IN SALARIES
SEATTLE, Jan. 19.—Seattle’s city
councilmen may seek authority to
have their salaries increased, it be
came known here.
Corporation Counsel Thomas J. L.
Kennedy has been asked to draft, for
passage by the council at its next
session, a resolution submitting to
a vote at the March 10 election a
charter amendment fixing the com
pensation of council members at $4,
200 a year. The present salary is
$3,000 a year.
A similar' proposal has several
times been rejected by the voters.
It was last submitted in 1920 when,
it was defeated by a vote of 11,008
for to 33,984 against.

CUSTOMS SEEKS
! ESTABLISHMENT
OF NEW STATION
The establishment of a United
States Customs Station at Kodiak has
been recommended to the Treasury
department by J. C. McBride, Collec
tor for the district of Alaska, accord
ing to an announcement made today
by M. S. Whittier, Special Deputy
Collector and Acting Collector dur
ing the absence of his chief. A sta
tion was maintained at that place for
a good many years but was discon
tinued in 1908.
The aim of the Customs Service
in establishing a station there is to
assist commerce, particularly the
fishing industry which is growing
in that section. Mr. Whittier said.
There are numerous canneries and
herring salteries on the island and
in the district. The development
taking place in the Cold Bay oil field
has caused an increase of trade be
tween Kodiak and Kanatak and re
sulted in a growth of the small boat
fleet operating out of the former
port.
A second purpose was said to be
to make it possible to establish a
Public Health station at Kodiak. The
Public Health Service has indicated
it will open a station and extend its
service to Kodiak if a Customs offi
cer is appointed there.
It is believed that the Department
will take favorable action on the rec
ommendations with undue delay.—Ju

FRENCH PROPOSE TO
MAKE DIVORCE EASIER
PARIS, Jan. 19.—A bill now before
the legislation commission of the
French senate would facilitate the
granting of divorces and permit sep
arated couples to found new homes.
The measure, sponsored by Senator
Louis Martin, is designed as a correc
tive for the dwindling birthrate of the
country.
At present, in cases where sepa
ration has been allowed by the
courts, it is necessary to wait three
years before filing a demand that the
separation be made permanent, the
principle being that ample time
should be given the parties to effect
a reconciliation. Senator Martin ar
gues that if reconciliation does not
occur during two years, it is not
likely that another year’s separation
will bring the couple together and he
recommends the automatic pro
nouncement of absolute divorce in all
such cases.
“In the face of deficit in our pop
ulation that becomes more serious
every day,” he said, “we should per
mit separated couples to found new
homes and reconstitute their lives.”
