Hut everything they have to offer la "goiug up." They are all optimists. ..lake flour for instance: the crop Is GOO million bushels short (so they say) in Canada, Brazil and UipuiUi; barely enough in U. B. for domestic consumption, and none at all, that is no wheat for hogs, pigs, sows and Bolsheviks. Hotter book G mouths supply, which I never do. I ain't smart enough to keep up with our markets much less uhead of them. ..Every fourth salesman is selling razor blades; each one has tho best 111 the world, all made from the highest grade steel on the face of the earth. With each 100 dozen puckages, they will give u night-shirt or a sofa pillow, and throw in 4 safety razors. ..Merchandising is no longer selling goods: it's giving premiums. Everything is I case free with 10, of a tea pot with 5 pounds of coffee, or a rubber balloon for every penny allday suckers, or a set of dishes with a barrel of flour and on and on, till the merchants have all become nutty from Bo-called free goods. (There ought to be a law). ..There's no such thing as "free gooda" or premiums. If you pay 25 cents for a package of tea and get 2 ice-tea glasses free, that means that you bought 10-cents worth ' of tea and paid 15 cents for 2 glasses you didn't need. Every manufacturer is busy trying to get folks to buy his stuff because of "something for nothing." ..Funny thing tho: the public "eats it up." They never think they are being deceived or swindled; they actually believe, down in their hearts, that somebody is really being kind to them. Every store everywhere is afflicted with premiums, prizes, 1 can free with 2 cans, 1 cake of soap extra with a bar of dirt-cutter, etc. Don't blame the manufacturer; it's the consumer that clamors for this type of wool-pulling. Cure him, and you cure all.

After thl# she took up her subject for the month, "Furniture Re-Arrangement," why it is bet* ter to have the furniture balanced than unbalanced. To do this one muBt first plan as to the size of the room, number of windows and doors in the room and the like. The first point was do not have all the large pieces of furniture too much on one side of the room. But have it equally balanced. In doing this one must consider the furniture in the center of the room as reading center lights, etc. Furniture can be arranged to make a large room look small and a small room look large. The rug must be chosen so that furniture can be placed in the right way. Miss Fewell also told the members how to make a long narrow room look square by using two small long rugs or one large and one small rug. In arranging furniture one must consider number of doors and windows there are in the room so that the furniture may be placed so there is a pathway from window to window or from door to door, and from doors or windows to fireplace. After she discussed those points she gave us examples of how to fix the furniture and rug in the living room. Miss Fewell gave us cautions about qolors of furniture and rugs, what effect they have up- j on the rooms as to whether it makes the room look light or dark. The hostess, Mrs. 8. B. Horton and Mrs. James Fletcher, then served delightful refreshments to all the cltib members which was greatly imjoyed by all the members present. The meeting adjourned to meet the second Wednesday in December.
