UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
WITH THE VISITORS
Gov. Arthur Capper, because of important legislative business, cannot talk to the merchants tonight as scheduled. Instead, C. W. Miller, of Dayton, Ohio, will show a three-reel movie. "The Trebles of a Store-keeper." He will lecture as the picture is being shown.
"We haven't as many out-of-the-state enrollments this year because other states bounding Kansas are conducting these merchants" short courses," said Secretary Hamilton this morning. "Texas and Colorado have their own Merchants' Weeks." This assessment tendance from out of the state down lower than in any of the previous years."
H. Leslie Wildey, the Grainger,talking, Iowa, anti-mail-order merchant, talked this afternoon at four-thirty on "Three Reasons for Mail-Order Competition." He withdrew from the mail houses and how he won the people of the town to his side.
A list of the days to be emphasized by the merchant in his advertising during the year was given to each merchant last night by A. E. Edgar, who talked on "Advertising Sales and Marketing." The master of the human nature of the customer by making your advertising timely," he said.
“Arrange your store so that things will harmonize,” said Oto Buehrmann at nine-thirty this morning, talking of Store Arrangement. “Place mirrors appropriate backgrounds in the millinery and be neat and tasty. It counts.”
At one-thirty Mr. Buehrmann ex-
plained usages to the bank unknown
before it was used.
The most timely of lectures was given at two-thirty this afternoon by Geo. A. Nicols. He outlined the policies the merchant should pursue in the present war crisis. Mr. Nicols is an advertising man of Chicago.
"This man Harper of the accounting department of the University is great," said one of the merchants yesterday. "He is so full of his subject that the hour allows him doesn't make it. He is talking to the merchants are talking about H. D. Harper, who has given four talks concerning the handling of accounts by
the merchants. Today his subject was "Records and Handling of Cash."
The entertainment being furnished by the different K. U. organization is pleasing the merchants. Monday is the minute recital. Last night the Dramatic Club presented a pleasing farce. Tonight Miss Pearl Emily will work as a pipe organ recital after which Prof. Murra will give selected readings.
The spirit of informality is the one big feature of the Short Course meetings. The round table discussions are led by some retailer who acts only as chairman, remaining mercurial talk. Questions are answered by the imported speakers.
These merchants are mighty good,
students as attendance goes. The eight-thirty classes find the men ready for work and the four-thirty meetings.
And they attend the night entertainment-
instead of the movies down town.
She Enters a New Realm
"Go! your date for the Girl
Prom?"
BY THE WAY—
For once in the history of mankind, no girl will have to miss a formal party because she lacks that necessary accompaniment known as a date. For, in good sooth, if she hasn't been asked for one, she can go forth and meet her owner and enjoy the novel sensation. That is just exactly what she is going to do and have the time of her life Saturday afternoon.
