Don't Laugh At Thin. A tiller, of the soil from Pohiclt Crossroads trudged into a shoe store with his nine children and said to the clerk, "1 want 'em all fitted." .The obliging clerk went to the job and as rapidly as he had each one of the bunch fitted, the farmer ask *?<1, "Now, what, si/.y is that?" The .elerk gave him the information, which the farmer wrote on a slip of paper. When all were fitted, the clerk fig ured a 'minute and said, "Now, that will he $f)N." "Oh," said the farmer, "I don't want to buy their shoes here. I just want tf> l>e sure of the sizes. I am going home now and order them from Sea rs- Roebuck."

One i>f t h( in is i he of coHoctiorui, particularly in agricultural sections, The most compelling reason is the general Uck of money among farm en* at : thin season of the year. v \. There in also the familar ?tatf ment that the continuing purchase of automobiles and the cost of their up keep absorb so much of the prevail ing circulation of money that there is not much left wherewith to settle obligations. .Moreover, there is the uncertainty of harvest, even though it' .be most promising. Hence, farm ers are holding on to what they have? lest serious damage to the crops leave them with scant income. It was likewise very quiet in May ami early June in industrial centers, and unemployment was larger than .statistics show, as is not infrequently tin- case. It was virtually the winter of discontent in . the matter of col lections, but actual business was much better, especially after the middle of June. It nm si be borne in mind that most, if not all, of the figures of the vol ume of business relate to production, which is always in advance of dis tribution and Which represents the ideas largely irf dealers, both whole sale and retail, on what the trend of business will be and not what it ac tually is. Many of these shipments at present represent purchases for fall trade, the actual buying for which has not got down to the con sumers, who are the final test of the actual- volume -of distribution. It is also true that the retail buy ing for which actual statistics are available is principally for chain stores, mail-order houses and depart ment stores, all of which at present are getting a larger proportionate share of the consuming trade than are the many thousand retail stores scattered throughout the country and of whose sales there are no figures to be had save in most fragmentary fashion. Hence there is the common error of reckoning the total volume I of distribution by those large units whose sales are available. Nor is there any way of averaging these things in country -wide .^seope, nor even generally in the area of a single state.
