As this li really a national affair, no efforts are to be spared to bring before the buying public the Importance of buying canned fooda early In the season, when price! are moat advantageous and all the Itnea of canned food products available to everyone. Erery Inducement Is to made the local retail dealer to sell their patrona assortments of groceries by the case, at price! which cannot oe Ignored. In addition, thoae who do not wish to buy the cae are to be riven the prlv ll'ge of buying certain assortments which ahould be In every home keeper'! kitchen. When "It's In a can It'a freh." and for that reason la the safest and most dependable food on the market, thanks to the efficiency of modern factory method ITS "BEAN" FINE WEATHER UP IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN Ole Ha Had Chance To Har vest His Crop. He proclaims th eweathrr th' the northern States "verra fine." Pos illily the double significance In the minion is Justifiable, since we have pnrts Indicating the weather In Michigan this fall has been wonderfully fine.

This has afforded the bean growers Ideal conditions under which to liarVMJit 'I li r. 1 1 I i V. A ether crop. It Is readily admitted that the lack of cni.i lessened the demand, and has put the bean market in "waiting" at tituda. with the exception of a stronger and higher market as soon as snappy, cold weather exists.

However, It Is estimated that they will have 1,000,000 bushels less than Isat year. They, however, may find consolation In hearing that California, It Is reported, will have 2. TOO.OoO bushels less thnn Inst year, and tbe estimated report of the bean rnp of the United States, Is I3.7ti3. 00 bushels, estimating a crop of ns flfth less than 1323. SPRINGFIELD GROCER COMPANY NEWS NOTES Arch Firestesse Now a TiateseT.

Many people of Springfield and Southwest Missouri have personal acquaintance with Arch Firestone, who for several yeara was steward of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Firestone relinquished his connec tion with the Chamber of Commerce on September 1, Joining the ales force of the Springfield tlrocer company, and at preaent Is traveling the lAks section at Holilater, Branson and ylolnlty. Resting Vp. P.

Armstrong, manager of the Coffee Itoastlng department of the dprlngfteld Orooer company. Is Indulging In a short vacation after his strenuous engagement of the past few weeks with the various atreet fairs and fall festl vsls In Southwest Missouri, to. which be has lent presence In tbe Interest of the coffee business. Heard a Knls. A source of constsnt interest In Pprlngfleld Is the fleet of big Packard trucks which are operated by the Hprlngfletd Drncer company In their city nnd railroad delivery.

The truck! going fo and from tbo railroad, are especially farge; In fact, their proportions are of a tnagnl tuds that mlKht can's them to be mistaken for a railroad box car, Inadvertantly wandering from Its customary path. Not long since, on of the big trucks waa on Its way from the fright atatlon to the flrocer com. pany warehouae, heavily loaded with Incoming freight, and when passing Campbell street, the driver thought he heard a noise somewhere around the rear of the track. Not being quits sure, he continued for some little distance, finally deciding to stop end Investigate, fllanc Ing back he saw at tho street Intersection a badly demolished Kord truck, with an Irate and humiliated driver gesticulating wildly. Inquiry brought out the fact that the Ford truck wss coming down Campbell Avenue hill; the brakes would dot work, and he had slammed Into the side of the big drncer company truck with disastrous results to his own truck.

"I thought I heard a noise," commented the 8prlngfrrld Grocer company driver, "hut I wasn't oalte sure." Meanwhile, ha was looking over the big truck for damages ss a result of the accident. "I ptui this Is where It hit." he said, as he finally noted a small scratch on the paint of the fram! work, which was Scarcely dlscernable, except by lose Inspection. A nrrasa Comes Trae. A peculiar combination of circumstances worked out during the past rack with a lost box of groceries, sore finger and a dream. The aquence started by tbe announcement of tha regular trucker to a nearby town, that a customer bad Called to reoelve a box of grocer tea, containing cigar and other Items.

A careful re check of the Grocer eompany'e records showed that the Several articles had teen carefully packed, welghsd Into th box, Devoted to Teamwork Service Between I An opportunity soeh thla (or th boDiiwIK to buy her winter1! supply, of canned food! at whole eale price la aeldom presented. When purchasing In dnien or caee lota during this sale there will be a substantial reduction from regular prlcea. It will be possible to order a aupply bis enough to carry the family through tha winter, as th price on canned food! will steadily advance and high grade (roods win be more difficult to ob tain before spring. fcvery home will need a lot canned foods over the. winter and the cheapest way to buy them Is In quantity lota.

When one buys quality canned foods at quantity prices, down comes the cost of living. A big saving Is mada In canned fruits and vegetables. During the entire week will be the season's biggest opportunity to ay in a complete winter! supply nf canned frulls and vegetables at suostantlal saving llvered and algned for the truckman. This Information brought forth an Indignant attitude from the trucker, who claimed that post lively ha had not had the box. The trocer company requested that further Inquiry would ba made at the customers end of the line, seeing ii tn merrnannise bad not been misplaced, or overlooked, which In ft manner would account for the mysterious) disappearance of the box In question.

Again th truckman was positive. In advance of In qulry. It was not until yesterday the truckman made his second return trip to Sprlniffletd, at which time he announced that he had had a peculiar dream, namely, that he hud dreamed that the hex of grocers. was hre In Springfield. It hnd YlT'd dream and in" war thoroughly convinced In his nwn n'ln', 11 wa significant proirnosllcatton of the whereabouts of tha missing package.

"You are right at that," smilingly answered the shipping: clerk who has charge of the truck deliveries Tor the Qroosr company, and It waa interesting to observe the expression that rime over the truckman's face ss the shipping clerk cslled his attention to the fact that after the truckman was loaded, ha started shaping up his load, set the parkas of fand failed to put It back on. After he had driven away the package waa discovered hy the shipping clerk, who carefully put' It sway, awaiting his return visit. "I hsd a sore finger, and wss off the day that you brought back the report of the shortage, or you would have had the package at that time." further remarked the shipping clerk. One more Instance, we might say, touching tendencies to err, and the simplicity and esse In which memory can falter and bo deceived. Booster News Notes Too Mark KlfM lrtv1n.

Dunckel of tha Springfield Grocer company would certainly be known aa "Dean of Commercial Travelers." Mr. Dunckel, or "Uncle John," as he Is affectionately called by his friends and associates, began his course In tha great school of salesmanship In 1684, when he t4 Ilia FrfrndB Cn 11 lllm "TJarle Jokn. went on the road for an ammunl lon. ahrl firearms company then located at St.

i rouls. This early oonnectlon. It might be said In panslng, was due lo a Inve of flre arms and nn unnsuAl ability to hovt quickly and accurately. whether liforo tho trnp or In the field, a gift which his afforded him niHuy hours of pleasure and many a well filled sine bag. In 1830 he came to Springfield and went on the road for the Head ley Grocery company.

Blnce that time haa been, very Intimately connected With the growth and de velopment of various Springfield enterprise which have contributed the the greater Bpringrieia or to day. In isr2 he orvanisod the hprlngflrM Cnndy company. From IHOO to ha was "boarding boss" the Frisco, having In charge the vast feeding operations of the various construction gans. In we find him a the lumber business still closely connected with the grocer trado for he was operating sawmills and manufacturing boxes and other contalnora for the trade. Finally In.

Uncle John again heard the call of his earlier love. nnd went back Into the wholesale grocery business, assuming his present connection with tho Spring fluid ilrocer company, which he has held to the present time. For six yeara he miide the trrrltory between Sprlngflv ld and Cotter. and as he dispensed good will and cheerfulness along with groceries, he numbers nearly as many clone personnl friends In this territory he he does fn Springfield, where as a prominent member of the Booster club recently remarked, "Everybody knows and loves John Dun cklo." During these nctlve years, Mr.

Dunckel has always found time to be of service to his fetlowman and to his city. In 1912 he waa elevated by tha local Shrine to the position of Potentate, the highest honor In the loral order. In addition to being psst Potenaate bo has held numerous positions with the KIks, was for a number of yeara president of the Oun cluh, and one of the earlier members of the famous 'MoTlyJnggers," whose history and favorite stories he hss chronicled In a charming little volume dedicated to them, A prince of story tollers, a renl friend of his fellow man. an nctlve member of the Booster club, John F.

Selected. It Seems to Me Bom. personal Vlrrs ny H. It seems to ma that common avary day courtesy such an Inexpensive commodity that more of It ought to be used. Kvery one from the office boy to ths boss should add mors of It to his llrfe and posh It itrong.

And a little of It eometlmea goes a long way, too. For Instance, I was over In Jopltn a few weeks ago, and my business took me to a big wholesale house. I had to see the Big Noise himself and he was one of these Important Souls, who Imng lnea h. I Impressing the whole world with his Ulgness, by making those who want to see him cool their feet as long aa possible. 1 knew th Old Man by reputation, knew that tie was hard boiled, hard to sell and that he would probably try to butt me Into the fence.

1 waan't getting very much pleasure out of my wait, when I happened to look up and see that the fellow who bad gone in Just ahead of me. to the office on the left, and bad been making a strong sales talk to ths buyer, waa algnallng me Plainly through the glasa partition he aald, with Hps and handa "Are you waiting to sea thla man?" I shook my head "No," and pointed to the other office, where tne Head or the House Himself was having an Important conference with his golf partner on how nearly he cam to making It around In ninety. At that, the fellow ahead of me smiled and down to another little chat with tha buyer, Now of course thst was a very Itlle thing, but It brightened an entire day. I had never seen the man before, will probably never him again, he may have been from Chicago. Kalarnasoo or Kankakee, but he was a gentleman, he waa courteous.

A little thlnr. yet how many men would have been so self centered, or so solflsh that hey would have had no time for ronsldrring tho feelings or the rltshta of the other fellow. This man could easily have continued his talk or his visit, completely Ignoring my insistence, but he didn't. A little thing moat acts nf courtesy hinge on small matters. Nothing easts less or helps smooth out tha rough apota along th road mora readily.

Anyway, I found tha Old Man waan't half aa tough a nut to erack as I had eapeeted totm to ba, 1 artoa my unknown frteng credit for helping me over, Courteiy costs so little, and goes so far. A Reg alar. Every now and then I meet a man who, by some subtle cnmbln stlon of tact, courtesy and real friendliness, makca the world seem a decidedly better place In which to live. Such a man Is that fellow, Charles Hoy Vance, editor of the Sample Case L'partmcnt of the Kort Smith Southwest Tlniea Rec. ord.

I met V.nPd a week or so ago for the first time, and Immediately took him Into my confidence and told him thatthe Iadrr was planning to get out a weekly frnture devoted to the traveling men, manufacturers and Johhcrs. similar to his dipartment. Pld nc try to overawe me or pull any of that lmportant gtiy I am stuff? He did not. men would have" don so aa a manor of course. Instead he warmed right up and In a friendly, neighborly sort of way told me a number of things I wanted very badly to know, and what was more Important atlll gave me some ro.il encouragement.

Then, when ho saw our first Issu he wrote a mitjhty decent letter, which we nre publishing this week, without hi! knowledge or consent. And while these columns ars not going to develop Into a mutual admiration society, 1 don't mind snylng publicly that he's a regular guy, and can borrow my umbrella, my old wagon or my smnkln' tobacco any time he comes to town. A tiood Line. That was a good Una of Robert Louie's when he inng to the kids: The world so full of a number of Things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as KIiiks. didn't stop to specify what th things were.

Rather left that for each fellow to find out for himself. And being happy as Kings meant more In his day than It does now, for kings don't appear to be very happy any mora, unless It be the Prince, who has such a heck of a time being a good sport when such a mob of flappers and dame are after him all the time. Anyhow the world Is full of a number of things, nnd Stevenson with a body racked with pain, eaten up with lonely and a fugitive from home.

Yet while he himself knw lit to bo rather a ghastly Jnke, he managed to hrlghten trie lives of countless thousands, because he found It so "full of i number of One Way to Help.

And while we cannot all be wo can all take advantage nf a number of things, ami make the inost of them, und friendly as wo go along, do our part In boosting for our home town, the house wo work for ar.nl our friends. And In order to facilitate thla boosting business, this feature or the Lender has been established. If you ars on the road, a wholesaler In Springfield, or a bellcvor In tha future of our town, you miss something. and wt all miss something If you fall to do your part. But one small bit a week contributed from every member of th Booster Club alone would make one of th moat Inter esting pages ever aeon In a Springfield paper.
