The slackers in business will be rounded up by the coming execu- tive order.

Although regulation of retail- ers is limited by law to those do- ing a business of $100,000 or more annually, Mr. Hoover expects to exercise indirect control over the smallest corner grocery through his hold on meat _ packers, cold storage houses, millers, -canners. elevators, grain dealers and whole- salers.

WASTE. “So Long Letty” Best Show Here For Many Years Sparkling Musical Comedy | De- lights Large House at the * Auditorium Universally conceded to be the best attraction Bismarck has enjoyed in many years, “So Long Letty” delight- ed a largé audience at the Auditorium last night with its rapid-fire wit, spark- ling music and gorgeous costuming. Charlotte Greenwood, in the title role, was the undisputed star of the eve- ning. She is the most eccentric com- medienne whom Bismarck has ever had the pleasure of laughing with, and her eccentricity is evidenced no more by the sang froid of her delivery than | the fashion common to ordinary mor- tals, but are more ‘or less detached, giving spectators the impression that she might stand ‘em up in a corner and walk away and leave them with- out suffering any sense of loss. May Boley, as Grace Miller, another unappreciated bride, was a close sec- ond for comedy honors, while Will Morressey as Harry Miller, her round- ef-husband, achieved near immortal- ity. Hallie Manning was a winsome little sprite in an appealing ingenue part, and Ed Sutherland shared with her some pretty numbers. Sydney Grant as Tommy Robbins played to perfection the part of the subdued husband, made so familiar in “Fair and Warmer” and other farces of that family. The chorus Was small, but good. The show, a real hit.

TRUE PATRIOTISH GOING TO A CASH BASIt Look at the news item from Washingtoi, pririt- ed in the column to the left of this notice. No merchant’ can sell goods at 20 wer cent above wholeiale cost of ‘goods and carry an overhead expense of 22 per cent to 25 per cent arid not go broke. When it conies to only 10 per cent which is the amount allowed on most of the gocids sold it is worse yet. But, we are in a war. ‘Such as hever known on this _ carth beforé, We must wih that wer or our Efe is worthless and our bus- iness is worse than slav- ery or it will perish en- tirely. So wo must save every rescurse pocsible to win the war and save tke nation. Profits are nothing now. Life is all. NEW, METHODS IN. AUGURATED. So next Monday we will inaugurate 7.“ new- plan. We are going to sell goods at a margin so low that it has “never been ap- proached. We are going to elimin- aio every expense pos- sible. We aro going to buy at the lowest margin ever known but to do this we must sell for spot cash. - It takes: two dollars now to buy a sack of flour to where it took one be- fore the war. -It. takes more than double the number of dollars to car- ry 2 business—double the capital invested and in order to do business at all we niust have cash to purchase from the mills and wholesale houses as the government will not permit them giving the usual time credits, and the banks will extend our hotes only one-half the time formerly allowed. So the business of the country has only one of two choices. Do business on war time methcds and save the government all possible or go on old time methods and go broke anyway and probably have no government leit to serve. TRUE PATRIOTISM— PROFITS IN THE TRENCHES. We believe our custom- ers are patriotic and hergic so we will elimin. ate every cent possible in the cost of doing business and next Monday go to 2, cash basis and sell at prices lower than it is possible to do on credit Ten days ago we siop- ped advertising and told you then that we had something that we had’ startling to say in our next ads. Now watch for conditions of doing business and prices quot- ed and you will not only be surprised, but pleased. To thousands of cash buyers who have_ never dealt with us we would ask you to come and see our goods. get prices and see what cash will do for _ you. Gussner’se Owing to prevailing conditions it has become nec y for us to cut out the credit system of doing busi- ness. The wholesale houses are comrell- ed on account of government lic to sell much of their goods for —oils-and gasoline have been cas! for some tin nd flour virtually so. Meats have been cash. Yet on hese have been extending our customers, which credit in many cases has been abuced by being al- lowed to run for from sixty to ninety days and some much longer, instead of being paid in thirty days as ex- pected. We do not wish to work a hardship upon any, but as “self preservation is the first nature,” it has be- come nec! for us to either be ‘borrowers or sell for articles we credit to tem is,the correct basis for doing bus- iness we shall positively. extend no credit after November 1. The credit system of “business is largely a habit, and like the liquor habit is a bad one, as the more we get the mor ve want. A customer will buy ‘cat deal more if they can say “charge it,” than if they took the money right out and paid for what they bought; the future always locks bright, as “distance lends en- chantment io the view.” We have many customers that we} dislike very much to ask to pay cash, but in justice to ourselves and know- ae Life Insurance Our first thought is of LIFE.
