MARKETING BY MAIL
Principal Difficulty is Indifference

Some of the best promotion work be-
ing done in the state il that of C. H.

sationalizsd in its own Office. u usually
from three days to two weeks old when
it appears; altho the date lines and ''Tri-
bune-Repubhcan Special" never indicate
such q condition. But Mr.. Wolfe's
special stories are different. There II
freshness and originality about his ar
ticles, whether his subject be siloe or
bees, road hogs. or the advantages OF
chssrfulness. They combine human in
tsrest and pfacticality. and deserve .
more permanent form than Is afforded
by the columns Of { daily paper. Just
for the benefit it may hold for our own
people, The News is printing here one
of his articles on Marketing by Mail,

the three days preceding Thanksgiving,
l, ,080 packages Of produce were received,

That there will be no such arrange

Weeghman was disinclined to go IN

Chicago, Ill, Nov. 14.-Chaos reign

much less optimistic concerning peace

President Johnson of the American

When asked his opinion of the
chances for the National and Federal
leagues to get together on a peace
basis President Johnson, who undoubt-
eddy is in the confidence of Garry
Hermann, one of the peace ENJOYS,
said:
1.-The American league made its posi-
ton perfectly plain at our meeting. We
did not see the wisdom of trying to
keep a corpse alive.
THE Federal league ought to be a
dead issue in baseball. There isn't a
chance it will start another playing
season, and the present agitation is
simply playing into the hands of the
opposition.
However, if the National league
wants to take in some OF the hackers
of the Federal league. like Mr.. Weegh-
man or the Wards, as owners >or part
owners Of National league franchises, !
we can have no objection. The real |
problem is what to do with the play |
ers."

tional league, who had been hobnob- !
bling for several days with a small |
army of associates in the National as |
