Treasury Agents
Make Biggest
Money Seizure
BY Universal Service

| Is WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.---The big
gest and most dramatic seizure OF
money ever made by the government
under the excess profits tax Jaw was
revealed here today when 1t became
known that Federal agents took
forcible possession Of $4,000, 900 in
the Chase National bank, New York,
Immediately after it had been paid
by the Hartman interests to H. Far
quherson Kerr and A. E. Clegg, re-
spectively president and vice-presi-
dent of the Kerr Navigation corpora
ton.
The $4,900,000 was payment in
full made in bills of large denomina-
lions for $4,000 shares of stock in
the Kerr Corporation at 500 per
share.
Altho actual purchase was made
by the American Ship and Commerce
corporation, Of which w. Averill
Hartman is president, Kermit
Roosevelt, secretary and Parmely
Herrick, son of former Governor
Herrick, of Ohio, a member of the
executive committee, year ago, the
actual money was not turned over
until Saturday, August Is.
Seizure was made by two treasury
agents at the counter in the Chase
National bank on that date. 1t is
the contention Of the government
that the stock cost Kerr and Clegg
$40 per share and that the profit
therefore is 80 per share. AS 1t was
reported that both men had engaged
passage from New York for Europe
and would sail at an early date, the
government was DESTROYS of making
sure that full payment Of tax would
be made.
No government official would dis
cuss the case today further than to
say that as the details are still under
investigation public statement can
not be made at this time.
1t is understood, however, that at
the time of seizure the government
already had tax claims against Kerr
and Clegg.

emily comes out with his little mes
sages about goods really wins public
confidence. We feel as tho he did 1t
partly for our benefit as his, pro-
spective customers. I'D
Advertising is become more of a
duty than a moneymaking policy.
Ii merchant has an article that a
certain number of his neighbors
should benefit from it is up to him to
tell them about it, If he cares two
straws about them. He is their
representative in the big national
market; he buys for them-should
he not report to them what he has
done, what he has prepared for their
convenience?
Suppose the newspapers were all
SO financed by some outside power
that they did not need the revenue
they now strive for in the form of
display advertising. Can anyone
imagine that it would not instantly
devolve upon editors and reporters
to go about among the shops and be
eyes for their readers, gather worth
while information about the stocks
on the shelves, the luxuries and
necessities of life, their quality and
prices? At present this duty belongs
to the merchants themselves and
there is nobody else to pay for hav-
ing the information printed but
themselves.
Advertising Is growing better all
the time. You see more real facts
constantly, more substantial de-
scriptions of goods, more indications
of the relative worth of commod-
tiles in various conditions that fit
us all
Soon we shall see the Christmas
messages coming to our attention,
with fifty good suggestions for gifts
where we should scratch our heads
a long while to dig up five ideas.
We have already seen advertising
used as an educational force, show
ing US from the experts point of
view how to do things better that we
have to do, and opening up to our
minds new possibilities for comfort
and convenience in this vale of too
many tears. We shall see more of it
because we have responded well.
Advertising has raised the American
level of living far and above that to
be seen in any other country on the
globe. What they enjoy in Cali
fornia or New York we hear about
almost as soon as the people there,
and in many instances we have a
chance at the new improvements and
inventions as soon as anybody any
where. There is no doubt but we, all
of us together, have taken possession
of the public right of publicity, that
we demand it and use it to our ad-
vantage. And as we pay stricter at
tention to it we open up the way to
merchants to communicate their in
formation to us in smaller II space.
Less and less do we leave the mer-
chant to the tender mercies of our
chance attention, and therefor less

ADVERTISING OUTLOOK
FOR FALL

The autumn is a time when all
merchants can see the immediate
benefits of advertising. In this
county that time of year is the fat
time. Money rolls in to repay for
many months of spring and summer
devoted to tilling the soil and car
ing for crops. 1t is the time when
our one big manufacturing industry
huns, the sugar factory And, of
course, 1T is the time when people
everywhere buy their supplies of
clothing for winter, and unnumbered
homely comforts in view Of evenings
by the fireside.
1t is fact that you will see ad-
vertisments for articles now that you
have been thinking of buying for
some time. Advertising is merely
the timely suggestion that directs
our attention, to the manner of fill
ing our needs. Wise is that mer-
chant who anticipates us and makes
the way easy for our decisions. With
out new information about the things
that make our standard of living bet
ter we can only plan our future COM
forts by what we have known in the
past.
Advertising space in newspapers
now costs enough to cause the bust
ness man good deal of thought.
Lucky is he if that thought leads him
to carefully plan how he may inform
his possible customers with the least
outlay of money. A we'll planned ad-
vertisement, like wei written let
ter, need not be so large, long and
elegant, if only it contains the
thought for which it is intended to
be the vehicle. A big ad should con-
tain a big amuont Of information,
just as long letter must hold a lot
of interest or nobody will read it.
You will see more information
about business and about commodit-
les in the advertising this fall, be-
cause it is in the air to let the truth
be known and nothing but the truth.
Let half-honest advertisement ap-
pear and it's discovery will cause
merchant more loss than thousand
dollars worth of clean advertising
will do him good. This is a day
when the average man reads much,
thinks about what he reads and
judges others by what he reads about
them. II he reads apparent lies
about political candidate he be-
comes friend of that candidate. If
he reads anything that sounds doubt
full about commodities he has his
suspicious. In fact there never was
day when open publicity could do
business or movement more good
than today.
So much comes out in print now
that we all expect to see daily this
tremendous flow Of information
about everybody and everything.
What we do not read about we not
only forget and neglect, but we actu-
ally suspect. President Wilson con-
demned his league Of nations plan
to failure when he threw veil of
o0olcCy oFcI ZIG IuIlS pIoCeeulH6S,
or allowed others to do it. After
that the American people didn't want
to know much about the league.
Advertising has become so much
habit with merchants that to with
hold it would be like keeping the
commissioners proceedings out of
the paper. What we are not told of
we wonder about. That is why the

and less do we cause him to barn
storm at us with gigantic. black
scareheads that disfigure the whole
news page upon which they appear.
We want our publicity served up In
more tasty and attractive style.
e We shall see better advertising
this fall than last, and better in
1921 again. Commercial publicity
is being recognized at its true worth
and is improving toward the realm
of the artistic.-F; C. X.
