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

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.
The Poop Dear!
Mr. Binks?Why so unhappy?
Mrs. Binks?I hate that Mrs. Next
Door with a deadly hate, and I'm perfectly
miserable over it.

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%:

Vox, April 13:?An egg hunt was

Found a Cure for Rheumatism.
"I suffered with rheumatism for
two years and could not get my right
hand to my mouth for that length of
time," writes Lee L Chapman, Mapleton,

pain so I could not sleep or lie still
at night. Five years ago I began
using Chamberlain's Liniment and
in two months I was well and have
not suffered with rheumatism since."
