"You cannot get definite prices for commodities," said Irving Hill, president of the Alumni Association and manager of the Lawrence Paper Co. in an address before students in the department of economics Friday morning on the "Theory of Profits." He is technically with economic system. Such thing" is running at right angles to the great economic laws.
"Business is successful only in so far as it serves society. Altruism is to abstract a thing to infect into business, and the selfish individual who infects a lot of society in a systematic way is a whole lot more to society than the altrust."
"Profit," continued the speaker, "$m money which can be safely taken out of business. In this connection falling prices, periods of depression, and similar factors must be taken into consideration. Profits are derived from enterprises only after deficits are made up and bad periods are passed.
"The most profit is made when the capital invested is small in proportion to the number and importance of sales made. Also, the rapid movement of capital is very important; in other words, what a man needs in business for quick and large profits is a rapid 'turnover.'"

He can write sob poems that bring thought in place of tears. He sang haunting melodies with guitar accompaniment, folk-songs, riffs, and organ parts. He cuffed culled from the underworld; others gathered from the gutter. All were auch and musical."

Kelly, O'Brien and Kent Bring Reports of Successful Education Meeting
PROFESSORS RETURN FROM CONFERENCE
SOLVED SCHOOL PROBLEMS
May Launch Campaign to Have Secretary of Education in U. S. Cabinet
"The greatest criticism which can be placed against the small rural high school are the enrollment and instruction difficulties," said Prof. F. J. Kelly, Dean of Administration, and Prof. F. O. Brien, of the department of education, who have been attending the National Association of the United States which met at Chicago, February 24 to March 2.
The rural high school, as a rule, has too small an enrollment. The districts themselves are often too small a valuation to support the school. The instruction difficulties can be summed up in three points: lack of variety, the overcrowding of teachers and principals; and the high cost of calculation per pupil.
"Kansas is developing the rural high school rapidity," said Professor O'Brien this morning. She is developing the rural high school faster than any other phase of her education program. It was pointed out in the conference by Professor O'Brien that Kansas has a more democratic procedure and scientific direction into the organization of rural high schools.
Dean R. A. Kent attended the meeting of the department of Superintendent of the National Educational Conference. He says, "One of the features of this project was the formation of intelligence tests and testing. The theory and procedure were subjected to the most searching criticisms. This proves that educators are no better define this bad run away with no need to try to adapt it in the best method."
Concerning the campaign for the establishment of the office of Secretary of Education in the cabinet, Mr. Kent says, "This campaign shows a strong tendency to demand recognition for education, in a national way. There was a difference of opinion as to the advisability of seeking subsidy from the government at the present time. Of the $146,000,000 annual appropriations for educational purposes only $141,000 goes to the Bureau of Education."

GUESSING ON VALLEY'S BEST FIVE IS LIVELY
Over Seven Thousand Votes in
—Rody and Endacott are
the Favorites
"All guesses for the Mythical All-Missouri-Valley basketball team must be in the box by 6 o'clock March 8," said Clifford Carl, who is in charge of the guessing contest at Carls. Any guesses entered after that time will be thrown out and for that reason I urge any one who intends to turn in their guesses to do so before that time."
According to Mr. Carl, guesses have been received from all over the Missouri-Valley and from some basketball fans in the Big Ten Conference, and it promises to be one of the closest matches. A spring Kirkhambaum is offered by the Carl Clothing Company and to create more interest, Coach "Chop" Allen has offered a price of $10 cash Slims for the securing of the game! The team will be distributed to the fans by Carl's district but to the fans by Carls field here.
"There is not a ballot coming in, without Body and Endcott, in their respective positions and I would not be surprised if Black, even though a first year man has a fair chance of making the team," said Mr. Carl, "Body and Endcott, Payseur of Drake, Browning, Band, and Bunker of Missouri, Currie and Green of Ames for the favorites. John Walf, while not considered at home as all Missouri Valley timber, has many ardent supporters among other schools in the Valley."
More than seven thousand blank slips for guesses have been distributed since the beginning of the basketball season, according to Clifford Carl and they are coming in at the rate of 600 a day. According to the rules of the game, you must decide the winner and in case of a tie, numbers will be placed in the hat and the winner chosen by drawing. The winners will be decided by the decision of the coaches of the Missouri-Valley when they select the mythical All Missouri basketball team. No, it is all about the teams. It is With Kansas and Missouri tied for the Valley championship and considering the fact that the coaches from the northern schools would be determined to have a man from the north in the team, Clifford Carl stated that it would be very difficult to select a

LARGE ATTENDANCE OPENS SHORT COURSE
Over One Hundred Merchants Here for Seventh Annual Conference
PROF. ISE GIVES LECTURE
Merchants Want Money in Circulation at Home, Says Professor Ise
The Seventh Merchants' Short Course conducted by the University of Kansas opened at 8:30 o'clock this morning with over one hundred merchants from all parts of the entire state present. The week's program was ushered in with a lecture by John DeWild, who chose the subject of "Show Card Writing, Advertising, and Store Display as a valuable asset to the merchants of Kansas." There was a change made in today's
SPOKE TO VISITING MERCHANTS TODAY
program, attributed to the absence of John W. Buehner, Kentucky, which necessitated the showing up of Professor Jae Lee's lecture to fill the 10:30 class. This change, however, will not hinder the carrying out of the rest of the program, it was stated this week.
Miss Ruth Leigh was second on the program and talked on the "important Steps in a Successful Retail Sale," emphasizing that "salesmanship is salesmanship the world over and that the same principles apply in a small town as in the city. A good salesman can be made as well as a bad one." The many things in dealing with a selling force in to impress upon them that they are salesmen and not clerkes" continued Miss Leigh.
According to Miss Leigh, the salesman represents the merchant and this fact should be kept constantly in mind when dealing with salespeople. Miss Leigh closed her lecture with a brief summary and discussion of the four steps included in every sale process—the size and amount, which were: the location, the reception, talking up of the merchandise, and the closing of the sale.
John Ise, professor of Economics, gave an outline and talk on the subject of "Some Economic Side-lights for the Business Man or Merchant," which was divided into four separate divisions in order to make the lecture more clearly understood. The four divisions were: the mail order house, co-operative chain, store, and taxes. Professor Ise devoted part of his talk to the problem of campaigns to increase buying and referrals against argument commonly used against the media as not having much hearing upon the community. This was brought out by Professor Ise who stated, "that the merchants wanted the people to keep their money in circulation by spending it at home instead of sending it to a mail order establishment."
"Regardless of whether the people sent their money to a mail order house or not the money was always kept in circulation except when the money was being hoarded, and the American people are at present not known for hoarding their money," continued Professor Ise. It is time now for the merchants to change their appeal to the people for support through the ground that they should patronize home firms, but may also offer competition to the larger firms because basis through service, was the summary of the main point in Professor Ise's lecture. In several communities the merchants have risen up against the plan of allowing a co-operative store to operate in the community for fear that it would ruin their business where as in the long run it has proven to be successful as it has meant a
