Wilson Says Xo Reason Exists for a
Postponement. 1
President Wilson, in answering a ]
letter recently received, said that he ]
saw no reason why the Confederate
Veterans' reunion, set for Washing- i
ton during the week beginning June .
4, should be postponed on account of
the international situation. Some
person, whose name was not given <
out at the white house, wrote the
president asking if he thought the i
reunion should be cancelled or postponed.
The Man in the Moon.
Said the Raggedy Man, on a hot af- '
ternoon
"My!
Sakes!
What a lot of mistakes
Some little folks makes on The Man
<
in the Moon!
But people that's b'en up to see him,
like me,
. And calls on him frequent and intimately,
Might drop a few facts that would
interest you
Clean!

If you wanted 'em to?
Some actual facts that might interest
you!
"O The Man in the Moon has a crick 1
in his back; 1
Whee!
Whimm!
Ain't you sorry for him?
And a mole on his nose that is purple
and black;
" * " ? 1- tVifl,
Ana ms eyes are so wwn mat mc.water

If W dares to dream even he looks
"* at the sun;
So he jes' dreams of stars as the doctors
advise?
My!
Eyes!
But isn't he wise?
To jes' dream of stars, as the doctors
advise?
"And The Man in the Moon has a ;
boil on his ear?
Whee!
Whing!
What a singular thing!
I know! but theser facts are authentic,
my dear:
There's a boil on his ear and a corn
on his chin
(He calls it a dimple?but dimples
stick in),
Yet it might be a dimple turned
over, you know!
Whang!
Ho!
Why, certainly so! ?
It might be a dimple turned over, you
know!
"And The Man in the Moon has a
rheumatic knee?
Gee!
Whiz!
What a pity that is!
And his ;toes have worked round
where his heels ought to be.
So whenever he wants to go North
he goes South,
And comes back with poridge crumbs
all round his mouth.
And he brushes them off with a Japanese
fan.
Whin?'
' . Whann!
What a marvelous man!
What a very remarkably marvelous
man!
"And The Man in the Moon." sighed
the Raggedy man.
"Gits!

OLD METHODS AN D NEW.
Merchants Have Made Big Changes
in Business Ways. ;
The old time storekeeper waited
for customers to come in his store.
The modern storekeeper advertises
iiis wares and attracts them.
in days gone by storekeepers paid
little or no attention to their windows.
A window was an opening in
front of the store, a place to admit
light and air: usually the glass was
dirty and seldom cleaned. The lining
(if any) was soiled, tattered and begrimed.
"What's the use of changing
window displays?" figured the
aid time storekeeper. It was considered
waste of effort to spend much
time on the windows.
Today the modern storekeeper understands
his show windows are the
mirrors of his establishment, the
eyes of the store. They are cnangeu
frequently, cleaned with care, always
well lighted and well ventilated and
display a proper assortment of the
store's newest merchandise. The
modern merchant realizes it is impossible
to pay too much attention to
his windows; thus he spends many
dollars improving, re-arranging and
lighting them so they attract the
maximum of attention.
The old time storekeeper knew and
cared little for system, his cash was
kept in the old iron safe and ready
change in a shop bag. Books he
troubled not to keep. A few memoranda
were considered sufficient and
sometimes more than enough to piiot
a business. Various forms of insurance
were laughed at, the cash regis:er
unknown, the adding machine and
protectograph as mythical as the
squared circle.
The anti-bellum merchant made
friends round the cylinder stove and
cracker barrel, while the cider jug
was much in evidence. Sticks of
candy for the children and a paper of
pins for the ladies were his method
of making friends.
Today the wise merchant uses no
counter attraction to secure trade;
fair dealings, fair prices and good
business methods take the place of
the cider jug. Courteous clerks and
well trained assistants have replaced
the cylinder stove.
. Our friend, the merchant of olden
days, was satisfied to sell at the lowest
price, but willing and ready to
accept as much profit as he could get
from the unwary. Let the buyer beware,
was his slogan.
Today we find the golden rule prevails
almost entirely in every business.
One price, and that a fair one,
predominates. One profit, and that
a sane one. prevails. "Let the buyer
beware" has given way to "Let the
seller have care."
Verily?times have changed.?

Extra Session Called.
Washington, March 9.?President
Wilson, from a sick bed, today ordered
the arming of American merchant
ships against Germany's ruthless
submarine warfare and at the same
time issued a proclamation calling an
extra session of congress to meet
April 1 6.
The president's decision came suddenly
late this afternoon, following
the action of the senate yesterday in
revising its rules to permit prompt
action on important questions and
the submission of formal opinions by
Secretary Lansing and Attorney General
Gregory that he has the power
to arm merchantment without action
by congress.
Details of the government's armed j
neutrality plans for defending the!
merchant marine were withheld to j
avoid endangering Americans and!
their ships by permitting the infor-|
mation to reach Germany.
Only Statement.
The only statement at the white
house and the navy department was
that the president had determined to
fully protect American rights. The
decision, coming at the end of a period
of tense waiting, was generally
hailed as the natural and unavoidable
next step in the policy adopted
by the president when he broke off j
diplomatic relations with Germany,
and gave warning that the United
States could not tolerate attacks on
American ships and citizens in violation
of international law.
Fraught with the grave possibility
of war with Germany, the action was
taken by President Wilson only after
he was convinced that Germany j
actually was proceeding with her
campaign of ruthlessness and had
made efforts to plot with .Mexico and
Japan against the territorial integrity
of the United States.

The president's decision sent a
thrill through the senate, meeting in
special session, and in government
departments. Still hoping that war
with Germany will lie avoided, officials
and senators declared that the
issue rests entirely with Germany.
