Editor Review,Morgan City, La Dear Sir:

In your Saturday’s issue we note you publish a list of those making up the ten thousand dollar subscrip­tion of War-Savings Stamps. And who even gave you the list eliminat­ed the name of this bank from same. While we did not subscribe one thousand, we did subscribe five hun­dred dollars of thrift stamps for our own use. Besides having bought a quantity which we have on sale, and

an oil stove or wood fire would be permissible. Some who were in doubt and who asked the Mayor for advice were told that the order to avoid burning fuel is literal and that no deviations would be allowed.

Heat from oil, wood, gasoline or electricity is banned today and for nine more Mondays to follow consec­utively. This order has been found necessary by H. A. Garfield, chair­man of the National Fuel Committee. In addition to the specified fuelless Mondays, he orders all industries, with a few exceptions, to shut down for five days beginning January 18th. The chaotic freight condi­tions at railway terminals, the fuel famine in homes throughout the land, and the tieing up of ocean traf­fic because of lack of coal has jus­tified the Government in their stag­gering coal order.

Instance Seen In Case of Mall Order Houeea Which Make Their Ap­

peal 8olely on Baela of Price.

(Copyright, 1M7, Western Newspaper Union.)Economy Is one of the greatest of

virtues but false economy is no more a virtue than anything else that Is false. To be able to economize wisely Is one of the greatest blessings thut one can have, for It Is the prerequisite to thrift and well-being. Too many persons, however, who think they have found the secret of true economy are practicing a false economy which Is worse than wilful waste.

For instance, the man who buys a stove from a mall order house for $9 because be thinks he would have to pay $10 for one if he purchased it from bis home merchant, Is practicing a false economy, for the chances are that he would save more than $1 in the end if he purchased the $10 stove from the local hardware leader.

There are several reasons why this Is false economy. The first one is that dollar for dollar, the greater part of the merchandise sold by the mail or­der bouses is of less value than that aold by the retail merchants of the smaller communities. The mail order business, as a whole is built upon cheapness. In order to attract cus­tomers the catalogue houses must sell goods cheaply and In order to do that they must sell cheap goods. Their business is built up on price andtnot on quality. The retail hardware deal­er, like retail deniers in other lines, probubly can match the prices of the mall order houses. He probubly has a $9 stove which he can sell to the man who wants to get a stove for $9. The trouble is that the man who buys from the mall order house does not distinguish between price and quality.

Thinks He Is Economizing.The man who buys the $9 stove

from the mail order house probably would not buy a $9 stove from his local merchant for in the latter case he would see just what he was buying and might realize that the $9 stove would not meet his needs. He orders a $9 stove from the mail order house, however, just because the price is $9 — » »»'»«mise hp has nnv n ssn ra n «

je t t ms o m is , u v thinks he is saving a dollar or two by buying this stove Instead of paving ! $10 or $11 to the home merchant for i one that be has seen and knows v Ml j give him satisfaction. The chnnces [ are that when the stove arrives and j be bus used it for a short time be J will realize that he has practiced false economy—that it would have been more economical in the end for him to pay a dollar or two more to bis houn ̂merchant and get an article that was guaranteed by tbe dealer.

The patron of the moll order house, also, often falls to take the matter of transportation charges Into considera­tion when making his purchase. He sees only the price of tbe article as listed in tbe mall order catalogue and does not think of the expressior freight charges, which with the cost of a money order and postage often make the total cost of the article greater than the price at which the same thing could have been purchased at the local | store. Another case of false economy. \

Buying merchandise of poor quality | because the price Is low Is often false economy when the purchase Is made ; at the home stores but it Is doubly so ’ when the merchandise Is bought from a mull order house. When buying at home one can be reasonably sure that ; tbe article purchased at a low price, : while there Is no such assurance when It Is bought by mall on the “sight un- : seen*’ plan.

Idea Is Exploded.The idea that the mail order houses

sell the same quality of goods at lower prices than the home merchants Is quickly exploded when one learns of the large profits that are made by the majority of the mall order houses and the large selling expense to which they are subjected. The large mall order houses spend hundreds of thousands of dollars annunlly for advertising ami

j the selling expenses of the smaller concerns are proportionately as large.

! Their other expenses, such as rent, j taxes and labor, are also higher than those of the local retail merchants, in

I proportion to the business which they I do. In spite of these heavy expenses,! the mall order houses distribute mil- ; lions of dollars in dividends among j their stockholders. In one large mall j order concern the profits of the stoek- j holders, in cash and stock dividends, have aggregated as much as 1,000 per

j cent on the capital Invested in the ! short period of nine years. This does ;! not indicate that the mail order houses j i are in business for their health and : are giving away merchandise to their :

! customers. jj The mail order houses have capi- j talized the desire to economize that is i inherent in almost every one. By plac­ing price above quality and making

! cheapness the fundamental element in I their business they have inculcated in the minds of their patrons tin idea

: that they are economizing v.hcn they boy cheap goods at cheap pric e.

EASTERN DISTRICT OFIANA, NEW ORLEANS.

January 17, 1918.To the Honorable Mayor,

of the City of Morgan City, La.Sir:

The Honorable Attorney General of the United States requests me to ad­vise you regarding the registration of alien enemies.

(1) All natives, citizens, debizens or subjects of the German Empire, or Imperial German Government, be­ing males of the age of fourteen years and upwards who are within your city and not actually natural­ized as American citizens are requir­ed to register as alien enemies.

(2) Said registration is to com­mence a t six A. M. on February 4, 1918, and to continue on each day successively thereafter between the hours of six A. M., and eight P. M., up to and including 9th day of February, 1918, a t eight o’clock P. M., said registration to take place at the various police sta­tions in your city, and under their supervision.

In order that the fullest publicity may be given this matter, you will please request the editors of all pa-

j Thirteen principal farm crops in i this country in 1917 had a value at ; the farm of $10,700,000,000, accord­ing to estimate of the United States

LOUIS- ! Department of Agriculture, or near- j ly 2 1-2 times the value for the cen- , sus year 1909. This amount is about J four-fifths of the value of all crops, j These crops include seven cereals, j flaxseed, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tame hay, tobacco, and cotton lint. Three states stand uot far in the lead in their share of this great and unprecedented total. Illinois is in the front with a value of $775,000,- 000 for these crops, Iowa is next with $712,000,000, and Texas is third with $647,000,000.

Greater Efforts Needed Says Secretary Houston.

That the farmers of the Nation have generously responded to the appeals for increased production, and that mach has already been done to insure a large supply of foods and foodstuffs, justifies no let­down in their activities or in those of all agricultural agencies. On the contrary, even greater efforts must be put forth in the coming months if we are to meet satisfac­torily the domestic demands and the needs, of the nations with which we are associated in this struggle. There must be no break-down on the farms, no failure of foods, feed-

tural forces and the workers well de­serve to be cited for commendation. But it is not the time to plan for greater efforts this year, as Secre­tary Houston reecntly pointed out.

In comparing the geographic di­visions of the country with one an­other for Î917, the great predomi­nance of the North Central States is conspicuous, and their production is mostly human "food and animal feed. The twelve chief crops produced in these States for cotton does not ap­pear, had a value that is nearly one- half, or over 48 per cent, of the value of the thirteen crops for the whole country. Of this division, the section west of the Mississippi River produced the greater value, or over 27 per cent of the nation’s total, while the eastern section produced 21 per cent.

The entire South produced nearly thiee-eighths of the total value of the nation’s thirteen crops, or 36 1-2 per cent, and this fraction was divid­ed among the three sections so that the South Atlantic States produced 14 per cent, the South Central sec­tion east of the Mississippi River 9 1-2 per cent and the section west of that river 13 per cent. The smallest share of the total value of the thirteen crops remains to* the North Atlantic States and to West­e l l States, 7 1-2 per cent each.

The relative standing of the var­ious divisions of States in value of chief crops be better under stood when it Is remembered that the corn crop of 1917 has an esti­mated value of $4,054,000,000, cot­ton lint $1,452,000,000, hay $1,359,- 000,000, wheat $1,307,000,000, and oats $1,061,000,000; and that the North Central States enormously produce corn, wheat, oats and hay, and the Southern States cotton, with strong support from corn, tobacco, sweet potatoes, and rica.
