BELFAST
of Trade
Answers Some Questions

OoAl$ SKo$cNAok1o
The home merchant. Who is he?
He is the chap who gives you credit when
you are financially broke. and carries your ac-
count until you are able to pay.
He is the chap who gives you back your
money or makes exchanges when you are not
satisfied with what you have bought.
He is the chap who stands behind his guar
anty, and makes restoration of all losses that
you may sustain on the goods you buy.
He is the chap who meets you at the door
with handshake, and let's you out with mes
sage to the "kids." and real come again good
by.
He is the chap who meets and greets you on
the street every day in the year, and takes a
neighborly interest in your family and your
affairs.
He is the chap whose clerks and bookkeepers
and other employees live in Belfast and spend
their money with you and with other Belfast
people.
He is the chap who pays heavy taxes to help
support Belfast schools. and build your streets,
and maintain your fire departments and police
departments, and parks. and lighting and water
service.
He is chap who helps support your churches
and hospitals and charity organizations, and
lodges and commercial clubs, and talks for
Belfast and boosts for Belfast every day in the
year.
He is chap who visits you when you are sick
sends flowers to your family when you die, and
follows your body out among the trees and
tombs, as far as human feet may travel with
the dead,
He is the home merchant-your neighbor-
your friend-your helper in times of need.
Don't YOU think that you ought to trade with
him. and be his friend and his helper in the
time of his need?
Don't you know that every dollar that you
send out of Belfast for merchandise, is sent to
strangers-to men who never spend dollar in
Belfast, to men who would not trust you for
box of matches, to men who would turn you
over to the police if you should enter their
offices?
You don't save much. frequently nothing
when you send your money out Of town, and
you take all the risk yourself OF short weight
or measure and Of getting damaged or inferior
goods. And don't you know the growth and
of Belfast depends very largely up
on the success and prosperity of the home mer-
chants? Out-of-town people judge our city by
the appearance of our stores and the degree
Of enterprise shown by our merchants. And
our homo merchants can not succeed unless
home folks give them loyal support.

BOY WHO FLED HOSPITAL
MAKES GOOD HIS ESCAPE
Suffering From Appendicitis Opera
ton Effects He Disappears
When Arrest Threatened.

Harold Ashton, seventeen years OLD,
who escaped from Casualty Hospital
yesterday morning, just before he was
to be arrested by the police to be held
on charge of vagrancy, has not been
heard from. The police made search
for him yesterday. but no trace OF nm
was found after he left the hospital by
way of the back door.
The boy had been operated upon for
appendicitis. DR.. Charles Stanley White
performed the operation, and it was
thought the patient was still so weak
that he would be unable to get far
away before he would stop to get
treatment. He had become accustomed
to riding freights and roughing it,
however. before he reached here and
the police think he will be able to take
care of himself.
When Ashton was found in a box car
by the police, he said he had been
without food for several days. and
when taken to the hospital the sur
seons in charge discovered that ne was
suffering from appendicitis. HIS case
elected the sympathy of number OF
persons. funds were subscribed for his
benefit and he had been promised po-
sition and home when he recovered.
Stories Investigated.
Ashton's case was called to the at
tention of the Associated Charities and
was referred to Miss Sadie H. wilson,
who is in charge of the northeast
branch of the organization.
Miss Wilson saw the patient and
heard his alleged contradictory stories
of his life and relatives. She heard
from him that he had been on the road
since he was thirteen years old. His
troubles started, he said. when his
mother and father separated when they
were residents of Cincinnati.
Rather than become an inmate OF an
institution, the boy stated, he ran away
from the farm where he boarded and
has been on the road since that time
One story Miss Wilson heard was that
a wealthy woman was going to adopt
Harold, but something made her change
her mind.
Because of his contradictory stories
and for the further reason that 1t was
thought something should be done to
restore him to his relatives and friends
and get him off the road. Miss Wilson
asked the police to hold him until she
could get responses to letters she sent
to persons residing in Cincinnati and
elsewhere, and it was for the purpose
of OBTAINING him that a warrant al
leging vagrancy was obtained for him.
Boy Escapes.
1t was the intention of the police to
take him to Washington Asylum Hos
pital, where he could be safely kept
and given treatment, but yesterday
when the police went to the hospital to
get him he went out the back door
and disappeared. Should he be found
in another jurisdiction, it is stated, he
probably would not be brought here.
The money that was subscribed for
him probably will be returned to the
charitable persons who wanted to as
sist him.
