TELL THEM WHERE TO BUY

Make free use of printers ink. Talk
to the world about your business-the
line of goods you carry; their style, pc
culiarities and adaptabilities. In pur-
chasing, do so with care, remembering
that goods well bought are half sold.
Make careful selections, buy cheap,
and make the selling price reasonable.
Tell the people what you will do, and
do as you advertise. every time. Sen
out your messages every week. The
people look for it and are disappointed
if these see it not; and it is often the
case after yodr long silence, the con-
stant appeals of others have caught the
eye and drawn thitherward many a good
customer you once had, who is now a
patron of him who neglected not to tell
where to go to get what he wanted, at
reasonable rates. This is as it will be,
and as it should be, in this busy age.
People take and read the paper for a
purpose, and one is to find out where
they can get what they want without
spending day hunting over town to
find it. The merchant who apprises
them of this fact, in a judicious way.

builds up a lucrative business, and
makes his calling a success.

THE STATES SHOULD DECIDE
Congressman BrocksOn Doesn't
Believe Delaware Women Want
Franchise

Woman sufragists of Delaware re-
ceived somewhat of a shock Monday
morning, when they were informed by
Congressman Franklin Brockson, that
he did not believe the majority of
Delaware women desire the right to
vote, notwithstanding the statements
by representatives of the suffrage party
of Delaware that nearly every women
in thestate wished for such a right.
Congressman Brockson's s office in the
Equitable building Wilmington, was
jammed with the suffragists when the
hearing began at IL O'Clock, and after
hearing statements by the spokesmen
of the delegation, and after he had told
the women his stand on the question,
the congressman, looking directly at
the women, exclaimed: II am in favor
of granting suffrage to just who is in
this room now and no more; for l don
think any more want it!
Had bomb exploded in the room
the effect could not have been greater.
The suffragists looked at each other
first in amazement and then in indigna-
ton, and the Congressman was com
PEELED to explain his statement by stat
ing that he did not believe the majority
of women in Delaware wanted suffrage.
He said he based his judgment on the
fact he had talked directly with num-
Der of women whom he had questioned
upon the, matter all of whom informed
him that they did not favor woman's
suffrage. The Congressman also said
that indirect reports he had received
had convinced him likewise.
Congressman Brockson; after hearing
the woman spokesman, informed the
delegation that he was opposed to
amending the constitution of the
United States to provide for woman's
suffrage as he believed the question
should be regulated by the States them
selves. He informed the suffragists
that the States already possessed the
right to grant woman's suffrage should
they desire to do so and had anything
existed in the Federal Constitution
against this right he would have been
glad to have voted against it.

CHANGES AT DUPONT

DELAWARE CITY, Del, Feb. 22-Re-
sidents of Delaware City are much in
terested in the constant rumors to the
effect that in a short time Fort DUPONT
may cease to become station for
coast artillery and become a field ar
tillery station. Rumors to this effect
have been common for some time past,
and the activities at the fort during the
past year and at the present time seem
to find credence to the report
Two companies Of coast artillery left
Fort DUPONT during the past year and
have not yet been replaced by other
companies. On April %, 1918, the
Fifth Company, C. A. c., left for Fort
DuRussey, Hawaii, Honolulu and on
December Is, the 81st Company, left
for Fort Grent, Canal Zone. At the
present time there are but three com
panies at the fort-the 45th the 112th
and the 139th companies.
Of these the two first named were
originally organized at serge battery
companies, but have recently been drill
ling with the field artillery guns Fur
ther indications that the post is to be
abandoned as coast artillery post is
evidenced by the fact that at the present
time the quartermaster' corps is using
the barracks of the companies that left
as a store room.
1t is rumored that in June the 18th
Coast Artillery Brand will be relieved
from duty at Fort DUPONT and assigned
to duty at Panama. 1t is also rumored
on good authority, but officers at the
post will not verify the report, that
four of the 12-inch mortars at the fort
will be dismounted and sent to Honolu-
lu. In all there are 16 such mortars at
Fort dupont.
