Day Is Taken Up Caring for Stock CHARGE SALES ON INCREASE! Interviews, Wrapping and Re-! cording of Sales Take Rest of Time By FREDERIC J. HASKIN Washington, D. C., Feb. 20.—The haughty blonde behind the counter of the department store or almost any other kind of merchandise estab- lishment spends from one-quarter to one-third of her working hours in powdering her nose, rouging her. lips, fluffing her hair, and adjusting her gum—in other words, in waiting for something to turn up. This has been ascertained by a careful survey conducted by the Division of Domes- tic Commerce of the Department oi Commerce. 1930 Projects A fitting climax to seven years of successful 4-H club work is the award of a $650 silo to the New Salem Hol- stein Calf club of Morton county. The award which has just been an- nounced was offered to the most out- standing dairy or beef club in North Dakota in 1930. An exceptionally well-balanced programm and a 100 per cent record of completion and report- ing of projects last year resulted in the club's winning the award, H. E Rilling, state club leader, says. The silo, a 12x30 foot cemert stave type valued at approximately $650, is being given by the Madison Silo com- pany of Fargo. Runner-up in the contest was the “Johnny Mac” Calf club of Grand Forks. Members of the New Salem club are Walter Gaebe, president; Mar-| mann, Edwin Holle, Walter Holle, La garet Tellman, vice president; Clar-| ton county, North Dakota, don’t believe in “jinxes.” ence Klusmann, secretary; Laura | announced’winners of a $650 silo offered to the most Klusmann, treasurer; Eleanor Klus- | Ill luck doesn't seem to have a chance when pitted against 4-H club pep and ability, Members of the club are: (back row beginnii Thirteen may be unlucky for some people but these members of the New Salem Holstein Calf club of Mor- The 13 members of the club pictured above have just been Outstanding 4-H dairy or beef club in North Dakota in 1930. | district clerks and county superintend- Ing at extreme left) William Gaebe, William Klusmann, Olar- Verne Klusmann, William Klusmann, | ence Klusmann, Erwin Klusmann, Albert Holle, R.

He said that 109 Bismarck persons were attending the state university, agri- cultural college and other colleges in the state, but that, if a junior college were established, more students would be enabled to courses. An appropriation of $60,000 for the state seed department was approved by the senate after an amendment by Senator William Watt, Cass, to re- duce the amount to $15,000, was voted down. Senators ©. N. Brunsdale, Grand Forks, and J. K. Brostuen, McKenzie-Williams, authors of the Proposa!, urged the senate to approve the larger figure. Senator Watt claimed there was no tor @ larger appropriation from the farmers of the state, but that the request for the $60,000 came from the seed department.

Nearly every clerk is charged with keeping the stock in or- der. The shopper may desire to look at numerous styles or designs and various bolts of cloth have to be un- rolled or many boxes opened. After the purchaser has left, it is the clerk's duty to restore the unsold items to a neat and orderly state in readiness for the next prospective buyer. This duty absorbs on an average 20 per cent or one-fifth of the employe'’s working day. Next Come Interviews Next comes the time spent in what are designated for purposes of this investigation as interviews. This is the time spent in talking to a pros- pective customer, showing the wares in which he is interested, answering his questions and otherwise attending to his shopping demands. This clas- sification relates only to time the salesperson spends ona customer with no sale resulting. Nine per cent of the seller's working day is consumed in this manner. So far as revenue to the store is concerned this is lest. time except for the good-will value it carries. Two other time items go into the day’s work. One is classified as serv- ice time and includes the minutes de- voted to wrapping packages and wait- ing for change if the sale is for eash or the minutes devoted to making out the necessary slips if the sale is to be SYNOPSIS: Jack Stone, an air-mail forces with him.

D., Feb. 20.—By planting trees this spring as a memorial to George Washington, public school students in North Dakota are play- ing a big part in the beautification of their state, says L. 8. Matthew, ex- tension forester. Many schools of the state are sponsoring the planting of trees as living memorials to the illustrious first president. ‘The Daughters of the American Revolu- tion organization in North Dakota is also supporting the movement. The tree planting movement is part of a national program being conducted in every state in the Union. MANY HOMEMAKERS CLUBS Stanley, N.
