ATTRACT WOMEN TO YOUR STORE They Do Most of the Family Shopping. KEEP TO THEIR STANDARD. They Are More Observing Than Men and Will Not Make Their Purchases In Disorder and Confusion?Immaculate Array of Goods Pleases Them. Th? smrtiess mercnani mill. ?Copyrlghte<1 1914. by Thomaa J. SulllvaaJ An acoru is not an oak when It is sprouted, it must go through long eummers and fierce winters and em dare all the frost and snow and thunder and storms and side striking winds before it is a full grown oak. Not Half a Man. 60 man Is not a man when be is created. He Is only just begua ills manhood must come with years. He who travels through life prosperous and goes to his grave without a wrinkle is not half a maa Difficulties are God's errands and trainers, and only through them can one attain to the fullness of manhood. And what a chimera is man. what a confused chase, what a subject of contradiction?a proposed judge of ah things and yet a feeble worm of the th<* tn-eat deDosltory and guard- | Ian of truth and yet a mere huddle of uncertainty; the glory and scandal of the universe! Woman Greatest Shoppers. Man is a sort of dependent creature, and that is why woman took him in charge and relegated him to the rear of the procession, at least so far as the purchasing ageut of the home necessaries goes. Some extravagant guesser has guessed that 80 percent of all retail buying is done by women. We guess that that guess is too high. Men have more to do with the family shopping than they are often willing to have their wives, daughters and Msters admit to friends. Men are the court of last resort and msa in nftpn reversed, as the ex changed and returned goods department of almost any store can testify. Perbapa the expense of these departments would be largely reduced if the stores were made more attractive to men. If It Were lees unusual and less embarrassing for tbem to shop. Certain it is that, even though the women make 80 pee-cent of the family purchases, the men must be catered to In any store that is to succeed. Women Very Observing. But, primarily, the stores axe for women. They make up the majority of every merchant's customers. For them the right merchandise must be secured; to tbem the merchant must make his appeal. Just as surely as women are naturally more observing than men. Just so surely will the merchant make the mistake of his life if be attempts to run his store in a sloppy, slipshod way. The successful store must be kept up to the woman's standard. Many men who are good merchants In other respects fail here and then wonder why they do not get the trade ?wonder why it goes to the big city stores or to the retail mail order bouses. Attractive 8tores Win. Observing women who are careful and conscientious housekeepers are not going to buy in disorder and confusion. One way a merchant can place himself out of reach of competition la to make his store so consplcu oas for its attractiveness, its cieanuness, Its immaculate order, its convenience for women, that even the most particular of the sex will show her delight In it This is the most effective and least expensive advertising a merchant can do. In the business world of today there Is no place for a weakling. Business Is a man's game and must be played in a man's way. Merchant Fails. The failure of the merchant who keeps a dirty, sloppy store. In an indolent, shiftless way. means another revolution of the wheel of progress. His trip to the scrap heap is for the general good, for the betterment and advancement of the industry he would beep in disrepute. That man Is already on the greased side of the toboggan. It is but a question of time when you will bear blm fall Woman's keen eye soon sorts out the storekeeper from the real alive, up to date merchant, and It does not take her any great length of time to forget that the dead, sleepy storekeeper ever existed, ind he Is so dumb and brainKtv non't ownnnf tnr thfi InOfl iCBS Uiai uc vau i> uvvvuuv ?v? vuv >vw of her trade. She Will Tell Him. Let him ask any woman In his towD why be failed to get her trade, and she can and will soon tell him that the sooner such a business man or storekeeper as he retires and leaves the field to tis more progressive competitor i the better it will be for himself and the entire community.

TAFT SCHOOL. j > ? > Taft,April 10:?The people of Taft have something of which the whole community should justly feel very proud. Till the fall of 1912 there was not a school-housein the neighborhood that belonged to the school district, and the school session was held first in one building Jand then in another, this being always some old house not used by its owner. The last building used was a negro tenant house rented for the purpose. There were three small windows with wooden shutters to give light to the boys and girls while they warmed tneir chilled toes by an open rire-place. In a composition describing the old sehool building, one of the girls said this year: "We often had to shovel the snow out of the chimney to make a fire, and then brush it from the benches to get a place to sit down." However, the men of the community arose to see the need of their children for a school-house and forthwith began to lay plans for a building worthy of the community. There were only three or four families to bear the burden, but each man did what he could, and with their liberal contributions and the untiring efforts and perseverance of the clerk of the board of trustees, Mr B A Brown, a modern building, built by plan No 7 from the Clemson building bulletin, was completed and ready for use by January, 1913. The session that spring was of only four months' duration, but a good beginning had been made. In October of 1913 the school reopened and has continued six months. In addition to the lengthening of the term the house and grounds have been wonderfully improved and beautified from only one year's work. Among the improvements are the following: Patent desks, a beautiful teacher's desk and chair, a new library, a blackboard, shelves, text-books belonging to school, and garden tools and other equipment, a pump, the grounds enclosed by wire fer.ce with artistic gates, the yard planted in lawn grass and flowers, and hedges and trees set out. It is hoped that the school will be run at least eight, if not nine months, an-4.1 uineryeor. But the pupils have by no means given all their time to fhdustrial work and improvements. There has been some hard Studying done, and each individual pupil deserves praise for the progress he or she has made. The following have distinguished themselves by making a monthly average of over 90%: HONOR ROLL?DECEMBER. First Grade?Margy James Brown. Third Grade?Janie Beck Bryan.
