John K. Nevlus, one of Plain- field's experienced and well-known merchants says "National Retail Demonstration Week comes just at the outset of another major war when economic conditions undoubt-1 edly will be upset. The fine ethical standards fostered by this demon- stration represent a challenge to every merchant with regard to pricing his merchandise." Nathan Armour, of Armour's Gift and Toy Shop, refers to the con-tribtion of retailing in terras of tax payments to the municipality as follows: "The local merchant Is an Important factor in the stability of our government. Business tax payments are of material assistance to the municipality in providing its citizens with essential services such as police, fire, schools, health and city planning. It is estimated that local retailing pays directly or indirectly $500,000 an nual taxes, which is 25 per cent of all taxes collected by the City of Plainfield." H.

A. Earth, local raanager of Montgomery Ward Company, considers retailing from the view- mint of "mirchasiMr aeent" for the public in the following state ment: "Retail Demonstration Week Is the special time In the year when the retailer takes stock of his position in the community. He asks himself how good a job he is doing as purchasing agent for his community. It is a time of diligent questioning designed to Improve the service he renders. He gives special consideration to assortment of goods, his attitude of general helpfulness and friendliness to his consumers.

Retail Demonstration Week causes him to redouble his efforts so that the community may have more tangible evidence of the spirit of service which motivates him throughout the year.

PETTENCiLL 'The Gentleman from Indiana' than "right" in Europe. In short, "anti-war" was more popular than Mr. Roosevelt has been at any time. 1920 was the lat official expression of public opirion on this -question. But many polls in recent months show a strong majority belief now that not only we right 'n refusing to ratify the Versailles Treaty after the war, but that we should never have gotten into that war to begin with.

Here is the platform of 1920 upon which Mr. Roosevelt ran for Vice President. No one can say the issue was not then clearly presented. I quote: "It was for this that Amer a broke away from traditional and spent her blood and treasure to crush a colossal theme oZ (Sounds miliar, doesn't it?) "We felicitate the Presideftt (Mr. Wilson) on the exceptional achievement at Paris involved in the adoption of a league and treaty so near akin tr previously expressed American ideals We condemn the Republican Senate for its refusal to ratify the treaty merely because it was a product of Democratic statesmanship The honor of the country is involved in this business We advocate the immediate ratification of the treaty without reservation which would impair its essential 'THAT was the issue.

On it Mr. Harding went to the White House. JVnd in Congress, the party strength in the Senate-was 59 Republicans, 37 Democrats, and in the House 300 to 132. For these reasons, If there is any effort to push us into this war, 1 say again, and especially to my Democratic friends be- cause, they have the major legls-. a word to the wise Is sufficient! I emphatically do not agree with this new hulla-' baloo and propaganda that our participation is "inevitable" or that it would guarantee a third term.

Whatever happens, Insist on time to think. If there is a special session of Congress, if war-dictatorship bills written down town are rushed to Capitol Hill, take time to think. In his first inaugural message Abraham Lincoln said, "My countrymen, one and all. think calmly and well upon this whole subject Nothing vaW uable can be lost ly taking time.

Keep Out 'PHIS Is not our war. We did not Kart It. We did not start the last war. We gained nothing from that war. We can gain nothing from this war.

But already the "war brides' are booming on the stock exchange. The drums begin to beat. The fever rises. In addition we have the unneutral attitude of the administration, indicated in nearly eterything that has happened since Mr. Roosevelt's "luarantine" speech In Chicago in 1937.

"We are sure to be in within six months." You see that in the papers. Who are saying this? And why are they saying it? The millions of people in this country who are certain this is not our war had better begin writjng their Congressmen and do it now. Tell them to keep America out of Europe or they will be kept out of Washington. If there are any Congressmen, such as Mr. Sol Bloom, new Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committer, who are being impressed by the "necessity" of a "holy tell them to keep their shirts on! AT THIS poin.

a little history may have a sobering effect. Many people think Mr. Roosevelt in 1936 received the biggest percentage of the 'vopular vote ever cast for the two leading candidates for president. Thi Is not so. Of the total vote for Roose-elt and Landon, Mr.

Roosevelt 62.2 per cent. In 1920 Mr. was also a candidate hat year for vicepresident with ames M. Cox He campaigned year for the Versailles Treaty and the League of Na-ions. He and Mr.

Cox got exactly 3.2 per cent. Mr. Harding and Ir. Coolidgetfgot 63.8 per cent the total cast for the two ading tickets. This was greater ian Mr.

Roosevelt ever got iut that year Eugene Debs, unning on the Socialist ticket, 920.000 votes. As Debs had to prison rather than the war, his vote is cer-li'nly entitled to be considered an anti-war vote. If it be the total isolationist, or nti-involvement vote that year as 64.4. A word to the wise is sufficient. Seware 1940! Many of that 1920 minority sincerely thought the najority was wrong.

They may iiink stilt we should have rati-ied the Versailles Treaty, Joined he League of Nations which underwrote the boundary lines that Treaty. "OUT this is now mere kicking against the pricks.
