FRANK STOCKDALE
 OPENS CONFERENCE
Business Expert Gives First of
 Series Of Talks This Morning

Frank Stockdalc, one of the most prominent business experts in the country, delivered the first of a series of addresses this morning at 10 o'clock at the chamber of commerce rooms. MT. Stockdale is here under the auspices of the New Britain chamber of commerce and will, dur ing the ensuing week, endeavor to untangle many of the troubles of the retail merchandise men in this city
 At this mornings session there were about 30 prominent merchants present. In opening his address Mr. Stockdale stated that he has a real hard nut to crack in New Britain to get at the bottom of the retail situa- tion. His talks here will be given as conferences, to which all loyal busi- ness men are invited. He asserted that he takes a delight in cracking real hard nuts and the situation in this city is by no means a peculiar one.
 Compares Farmers Work.
 The farmer of today has the edge on the merchant and is in the lead about knowing his own business he stated. Farmers of today have insti- tutes which train their men up to the standard. They have depart ment in Washington and have experi- mental farms throughout the entire country. Nearly every state in the union has an institute for agricul- tural studies while the merchants have no schools, although they should have. There are as many retail mer- chants as there arc farmers and for that reason they should have a de- partment in Washington with in stitutes to train their salcspeople, he added
 Receives Pointers
 In concluding tho morning session MT. StoClldale requested the mer- chants present to give him some pointers on improvements that could , be made by the local SalcSpcOplc. The following pointers were offered, on which MT. s5toCkdalc will speak during his series of talks: Howard Wilson, of the Wilson Company was one of the first to speak, stating that one of the things lacked by the sales people in New Britain stores is cour- tesy. George Baker stated that there is a lack of means for stimulat ting new business, while Secretary Sprague added that there is a lack of en- thusiasm together with not knowing the goods in their own store. Other pointers offered were: Lack of ability in analyzing customers wants and lack of forcing a sale.
 One of the first things that should be done to better the retail business in all local stores is to break up the assem mbling of clerks behind counters, MT! Stockdale said. On many occa- sions persons enter store and have to wait several minutes before re- ceiving attention from the clerks who are discussing topics of interest to themselves, George Baker declared
 Discuss Advertising.
 One of the chief things that must be taken into consideration by local merchants is the lack of newspaper advertising. As one looks over the daily New Britain papers he finds that there is more than twice as much Hartford advertising than there is New Britain, Mr. Stockdale said The question was brought up by one of the merchants stating that local news papers refused to take local ads This

RED SPIDER ACTIVE.
Considerable Damage Done to Crops
Near BlaCkVille.

Blackville, Aug. 3.-The red spider
is taking quite toll from the cotton
crop around Blackville. Up to the
recent heavy rains there was a pros
pect of a good crop. The rains have
damaged the crop quite considerably,
but the red spider has caused a much
greater damage. Some farmers have
been practically ruined. One reason
it has spread so. is the farmers were
not familiar with it and let it get too
much hold before doing anything to
stop the destruction. In many in
stances it was thought lightning had
struck the cotton and no more at
tention was paid it until the spider
had gotten in considerable damage.
The spider is very small, but gets
on the under side of the leaf and i'm
mediately the leaf begins to turn red
and soon turns dry and parches up.
The spider seems to poison the stalk,
for not only the small bolls but even
the large bolls dry up and rot.
There had been so much cotton
that has died from red spider this
season until many thought it was
root wilt and let it get too much hold
before fighting it.
Every effort is being made now to
stop the destruction, both hand and
barrel sprays have been ordered
and the work is going on under the
instruction of the farm demonstra-
ton agent.

MEXICAN INVASION
CARRANZA GOVERNMENT AsKs PERMISSION OF u
TO TRANSPORT 1000 NIEXICAN SOLDIERS
THROUGH THIS COUNTRY
ASKS PERMISSION OF BORDER STATES
(By The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, May 30
The Mexican situation today is
3 grim parallel of the events in
1915 which led up to the Santa
Ysabel massacre and the raid on
Columbus, New Mexico, with
their accompanying loss of Am
erican lives.
This was learned at the state
Department. when it was admit
ted the Carranza Government
had requested permission Of the
United States to transport 1000
soldiers through American terri
tory for operations against the
rebels in the north Of Mexico.
Chief Of the latter is Pancho
Villa.
The State Department. sought
the acqulesence Of the Govern
Ors Of three border states. The
Governors Of Arizona and New
Mexico gave their sanction to
the movement of Mexican troops
through their states, but Gov
ernor Hobby, Of Texas, protest
ed. Because Of his protest the
department has not yet taken
action. It's attitude, however in
Sounding OUT the border state
executives indicates that it was
favorable to the Carranza re-
quest.

The great universities Of Eng
land whose student bodies and
teaching staffs were greatly de-
pleted by service in the army or
in government offices during the
war are again filling with stu
dents and. .resuming normal life.
This is shown by L letter receiv-
ed here by Lieutenant Colonel J.
c. Founthorpe, Of the British
Embassy from A. L. Smith, Mas
ter Of Balliol College, Oxford.
New Schools are being opened
at Oxford and plans for greater
efficiency are being put into ef-
feet, he writes.
According to the Master Of
Balliol, Oxford sent approximate
ly $4,000 Of its men to the war
or into the government service
Of these 1884 We're killed and
100 are missing. More than 1000
won honors in the war including
16 Victoria Crosses. The figur-
es of Cambridge University
