' John Wanamaker led In the crea tion of the department store as an Institution In American life. At the utbreak of the Civil War In 1861 when he began business for himself In a humble way In Philadelphia, retail merchandising In this country was in a disorganised state, and, in the opin ion of the far-sighted - young - mer chant, it was suffering a rapid de cline through practices that were then general. Aside from his ambition to make money, - "my paramount pur pose," said Mr. Wanamaker, "was to help save the mercantile profession from .lowering its flag ' before other professions and occupations." There was in those days no fixed ' selling price for goods. : Business then de manded a thtrteennour flay from an Us employes. Customers spent, hours , w , , .i.w 1 ..

' It was one. of the beginnings of , mercantile . reforms which today are so generally follow ed that the present generation can scarcely And anywhere a trace of the old practices. -', , ' V! Mr. Wanamaker was 24 years old when he entered upon his career, in partnership with his brother-in-law, Nathan Brown, on a joint capital of $3,600, in a clothing business at Phil adelphia. He had been born in that city, July 11, 1838. His father and his father's father had been brick makers, and John Wanamaker's Mint work was "turning bricks." . He was the oldest of seven children and ear ly in his childhood he was obliged to give up schooling and earn his own way. His first wages were $1.26, a week as an errand boy In a Phila delphia book store,, and then as a young man he was employed for a time at : Tower Hall, a famous old Philadelphia clothing house, -; where his personality and business ability were developed for his ' venture in business for himself. " The Brown tt Wanamaker store began business with a first day's sales account of $24, and ended Its first year with a record of $24,000 business. Mr. Wanamaker and his brother-in-law were, during their first few months of business, unable to afford a horse and wagon for de livery, and Mr. . Wanamaker himself pushed a two-wheeled cart to deliver his goods. ' His partner's health Wil ing, most of the detail fit the jbual Aside oinS.a6 Ushlnglfls'''one- 1 price policy and making t ... shorter . -.,..... he became one of the first retailers to do this. He found It difficult to get employes who were properly instruct ed In their duties and be organised a training school 'where his workers were taught the "Wanamaker sys tem." Mr. Wanamaker Interested himself In many civic activities. He was the first salaried secretary in America of the Toung Men's Christian Assocla "on. in 1861: one of the founders of . ' . . j.,.. the Christian Commission during the Civil War, and one of the, organizers of the Centenlal Exposition in 1874 In the latter year he began the devel " 'rV.T " "-hln Bnf 'hh" mfca!L,l0mS5nL2.C!!-t,?l.: Philadelphia, and twenty year, later established a similar business In New Tork a. successor to A. T. Stewart. It Is estimated that durlng'his entire business career Mr.' Wanamaker' had distributed Into American homes mer chandise reaching nearly a billion dollar, in value. He was known as a great believer In advertising, In newspaper1 advertis ing above all other verities. He spent millions of dollar. In It. One of the feature, of hi. advertising campaign was his development of 'the "Store New. Page" which he led with an editorial over hi own signature, In j variably written by himself, to keep th. public In touch with the policies of hi. business. HI. friend, often saw htm writing such an editorial on his WBy to the store In the morning, scrlb- bllng it on th. back of an envelope er any odd scrap of paper h had in his pocket. .

THE AUDITORIUM FOR HIGH SCHOOL SEEMS PROBABLE Board Will Consider As Soon as Present Work - Is Completed Not until all work has been com pleted on the high' school building will the district board begin to seri ously plan for the construction of a proposed auditorium and gymnasium. It Is Indicated unofficially by some of the members of the board. When the last workman has left the - school building and It stands completed then, the board will know exactly how many dollars and cents it will have left In the -treasury. Then will be time, it is held, to cast about for plans and specifications for the proposed addition. Members of the board are of the opinion that there should be an audi torium and certainly a gymnasium connected : with the present building at the rear, t In fact, the present building, was planned and erected with a view to attaching the audi torium. Doors were provided on the ground floor and from the top .floor so as to afford entrances from the main building into the auditorium and gymnasium in accordance with what; tver plans might be later decided upon. ' v-;. ; ! It is understood that alt contracts have been awarded and all materials necessary for the completion of the building in every detail have been purchased or provided for. There will remain some payrolls until work is completed and some small odds and end that may be found necessary. Allowing for all theBe, it is expected that the board, will have between 160,000 and $65,000 left. Probably in the early spring the board will secure estimates and. then they will be able to determine just What oan be done with the funds that will be available...

T RAHSPORTATION IS River Bridge, Railroads and Industries Will Get Attention Close cooperation of highway and railroad officials in the plans for the further upbuilding of Lexington is being sought by the Chamber of Commerce, under plans recently adopted by the board of directors. One of the results hoped to . be at tained Is the building of a free bridge across the Yadkin River between Da vidson and Davie. Another is the co operation of .the railroads In secur ing enterprises desired for Lexington. . It has been voted to Invite and urge Chairman. Frank Page of the State Highway Commission to come here and attend a joint meeting to be arranged in behalf of the proposed bridge to Davie. In case the attend ance of Chairman Page can be se cured it la planned to have present a number of leading Citizens of Davie county to Join with Davidson in urg ing that the bridge be given nn ad vanced place on the program of the State Highway Commiiwion for 1923. Data will be collected showing the advantage that might accrue to sev eral communities as a result of such a bridge. It Is possible . also that Thomasvllle and High Point may be asked to send representatives as It is believed this bridge would be of benefit also to both of those com munities. Another meeting' is being planned for a later date, at which tt is ex pected to have officials of the Win ston 'Salem Southbound and the Nor folk & Western railway companies. The purpose of this meeting would be to arouse interest on the part of both these railroad companies In the growth of Lexington by demonstrat ing to them that it is to their ad Vantage that Lexington become a still greater industrial center.

Harrison Black and Q. W. Lowder, of the western edge of this township, . and Manle Hege, merchant of Reedy Creek, were the losers. The five wo men were in the band that got the, money. . . , The chief of the tribe of wanderers agreed to return each his money and . pay the costs if the court would let tne women tones go, There' wore the live women prisoners who had spent the week end in Jail and there was a whole tribe of children, who had, done similar spending. Nearljy stood a very much ; worried jailer, who frankly didn't .want to enter tain five families and five very noisy ones at that until another term- of superior court, and 'then . perhaps have to keep them longer. - ' , - , The court has final jurisdiction in forcible trespass cases ln the town ship and in simple trespass cases out side.

The woman hurried to their car and left quickly. Mr. Black counted the money and found two five-dollars hill, and a ten-dollar bill were missing.
