Mr. Bohanon did lose a large
number of cattle and 'horses, but
is by no means ruined, and is in
hopes the greatest trouble is now
over. He says that the oil wdls in
the vicinity of Tampico have
nearly all been cemented in by
their British owners, which has
made the Carranza government
very angry, for the royalty the
government was receiving from
the oil wells was ab6ut all the
revenue it was getting. No new
wells are being drilled.
He says also that his son, Tim-
othy, who is in charge of the
Mexico ranch went down there
long before the United States de-
clared war against Germany and
that therefore the report that he
went to avoid the draft is entirely
without foundation.
Mr. Bohanon will return to

he visits at his home near Mar-

TUCKER HOSPITAL
IN CHARGE OF THE
UNIVERSITY
Arrangements have been un-
pleted by the Board of Repents of
the University, the State Board of
Public Affairs, and Stratton D.
Brooks, president of the Universi-
ty. whereby the University tikes
over th? Cleveland Gneral Hospit-
al (Tuckers) located at 116 North
University Place, to be used as a
student infirmary. It is ideally lo-
cated just east of the university
campus and has a large amount of
hospital equipment, such as ster-
ilizing apparatus, operating tables,
etc. However, only emergency
cases will be operated on at the
infirmary. The building is fire-
proof throughout, is steam heat-
ed, and wilt accomodate fifteen
patients normally, and at least
twice that number may be taken
care of in an emergency. There
are sun rooms, a large open room
for convalescents, reception room,
nurses' quarters, and a completely
equipped kitchen and laundry.
The Sanitary Committee of the
University will have general con-
trol of the infirmary, and all cases
of illness among the students will
be reported to this committee. A
fee of $2.50 will be charged each
student per semester, and $1.25 for
the summer terms for which hos-
pital service will be furnished.
While the number of deaths
among the students during the in-
fluenza epidemic last fall was ex-
ceedingly small, and the general
health and sanitary conditions
have been satisfactory, the need
for such an institution has been
felt for some time. A large per-
centage of the students are partly
or wholly selfsupporting and 011
account of shortage of funds they
often choose to go without medi-
ical attention or proper care. The
parents may therefore feel that
their sons and daughters will re-
ceive the best of care in rase of
illness.

It has been said that there Is u
,sucker born every minute. It this ho
true, there are 1.110 potential custom*
ers of the mall-order houses ushered
'into the world every :24 hours and tlxi
number reaches a total of 525,000 every
yen i
or course, us Mark Twain remarked
hoarding reports of liis death, tliesa
figures may be exaggerated, but they
serve to illustrate the l'iwt that tliq
mail-order houses of the big cities al«
'ways have new fields to exploit and
are not hampered in their dealings by
the necessity of pleasing all their old
customers. If the mail-order buyer
discovers that he lias been "stung"
and registers a vigorous kick, it nieaus
nothing in the young life of the mall
order man. Why should he worry as
long as there are some 1)9,1)90,1)00 other
persons in the United States to whom
he may make his alluring appeals.
Ever Get Money Back?
Did anyone ever hear of a mall or-
der house refunding a customer's
money If the customer was not satis-
fled with his purchase? Don't all speak
at once, please. The big mail order
houses in the cities expect to receive
a large number of complaints from
their customers. They know that
much of the goods which they sell will
not come up to the expectations of the
buyers, whose Ideas as to what they
will receive have been formulated from
the pretty pictures and alluring de-
scriptions given in the catalogues.
- The mall order houses prepare for
this contingency by maintaining largo
corps of clerks whose sole duty It is
|to answer the letters of irate cus-
tomers. These clerks, or correspond-
ents, as they are called, exercise all
their powers of cajolery In an effort
to appease the complaining customers,
but If this Is found to he Impossible,
after an exchange of letters, the mail
order man has no cause for worry. Hla
living Is not dependent ifpon the cus-
tomer to whom he ha* already sold
goods. "There are as good fish In the
I sea as have ever been caught" and lie
[turns his attention toward the landing
of the new fish.
Local Merchant's Field Limited.
Compare the position of the mail or-
der man with that of the retail mer-
chant in the small city or town. Tho
retail merchant has a certain limited
territory from which he must draw his
trade. All his business must be dono
day after day and year after year
among the same people. The buyers
to whom he can appeal for business
number only a few thousand at the
most and In some cases a few hun-
dred. Unloss he can make his cus-
tomers his friends and bring them
back to his store ugnln, he cannot con-
tinue In business. The result is that
he looks beyond the single sale which
he may be making at the time. It Is
to his interest to please every one of
his customers. It will profit him noth-
ing to make a big profit off a customer
on one sale If that customer Is not
satisfied with his purchase and refuses
to come back to his store again.
From which man can the buyer ex-
pect to get the fiest values, the best
service and the best prices In propor-
tion to the quality of the goods sold?
From the man who must please him
and give him his money's worth in or-
der to remain in business or from tha
man who figures that he may never
hear from the buyer again and that II
will make no great difference whethej
he pleases him or not?
Gets It While He Can.
The Idea upon which the mall order
man works is to get the money while
the getting Is good. If the customer
is satisfied with the goods which he re-
ceives, all well and good. The mail or-
der man knows that the customer I*
the kind of a man or woman who
likes to take a chance or he wouldn't
have sent In his order In the first
place. Therefore he may figure that
the customer Is likely to take a second
chance even if the first does not turn
out to his liking. If the customer Inn
enough spirit to make a kick, the
trained correspondents In charge of
the complaint department may be able
to pacify him. If they are not, It
doesn't matter much anyway, for there
are millions of others who may he
caught with the same baH—there Is
one born every minute, you know.
It Is well for the consumer to re-
member these facts if he Is ever
tempted to take a chance on the offer-
ings of the mail order house. The
home merchant has something at stake
In every sale that he makes. The mall
order man has nothing at stake. Tho
home merchant has everything at
stake on the manner In which he treats
Ills customers, for he cannot get others
to take their placets. The mall order
man has nothing at stake for It Is to
his Interest to get all that he can out
of each sale, knowing that he may
never have another chance at that par-
ticular customer.

ness with?
