Fortunate, indeed, is a community

Associated Clubs of the World, for

Per.
Good advertising, which means a
steady advertising, space big enough
to ten the story that the advertiser
wants to present, brings new dollars
to town and keeps home dollars at
home, the bulletin continues.
And what becomes of the dollar
that goes into the cash drawer Of a

on the line of business and the ma
ture OF the goods soidj, goes TO the
Wholesale dealer or manufacturer for
the goods the store sells.
The rest stays in the home town.
Most of the other 25 cents out of each
dollar goes for rent, salaries Of en-
ployes, and to the local coal dealer,
the light company and others whose
goods or services are needed in keen
ing the store going.
Each time the advertising Of local
merchants brings $4,000 of new bus
mess to town, at least $1,000 of it
remains in the town, and is passed
around from person to person, and all
the people share in the resulting pros
perity.
Though some people who are not
themselves in business fail to appre-
ciate it, every one in community has
an interest in every new dollar that is
brought to town, and that is just as
true in the large city, where bnsi-
ness is a great network! of mutual
interest, as. in the Amal,e1 place,
where it is easier to trace the bene-
fits which every person receives.
Advertising has come to be a great
power in business because advertising
creates markets. Markets are in the
minds of people, and can be made
through honest advertising. Mer-
chants and manufacturers have found
this out, and that is why they adver-
tise.

SHUTDOWN IS THREATENED
Steel Mills Blocked With Products on
Account of Car Shortage,


Washington.-A shutdown of steel
mills is threatened because of the car
shortage, representatives of more than
a score Of steel manufacturers in
formed the interstate commerce COM
mission. Daniel Willard, chairman of
the advisory committee of the Asso-
citation Of Railway Executives, who
also appeared before the commission,
was equally insistent, however, that
any general suspension of industry
would be averted and that improve
ment was possible in the steel trade.
1.-THE steel mills are blocked with
products, many closed and others will
be before July 20 unless some relief
can be had" declared J. r. Townsend,
spokesman for the steel men, who ex-
planned that 2S,3OO cars would be re-
quired to move 100000 tons of steel
products which are piled up awaiting
shipment.
Mr.. Willard conceded that practic-
ally every space available for STORAGE
Of steel was in use, but predicted that
the mills "can he kept going by the
shippers and the local car service COM

signment Of available cars.

Committee Of Forty Eight and
Single Takers Begin
Work.
DISAGREE ON LEADER
Single Takers Refuse to Accept Robert
M. La Toilette, But Will Support
Either Ingersoll or
Pinchot.

ChicagO.-FOundatiOn stones for G
new party on which to unite all third
party movements were laid here Sat-
urday when the Committee of Forty
eight and the Single Tax party Joined
in their first national convention to
draft a platform and pick nominees
who, they hope, will win the support
of ten or. a dozen liberal organizations.
The first days session, devoted to
keynote speeches and organization
work, developed as many different
views as there were factions repre-
sented. Rules, resolutions and nomi-
nations for permanent officials yer
debated and at time acriluoniously.
Allen McCurdy of New York, the tenn
porary chairman, J.. A. H. Hopkins,
head of the Committee Of Forty-eight,
maintained order with difficulty.
Division between the liberal and
radical elements was brought out in
the rules debate when S%wineburne
Hale Of New York, said the state dele
CATIONS were divided "51 per cent lib
eral and 40 per cent radical" He was
pleading for a change in the rules
that would prevent the radicals being
outvoted by the majority liberals, but
the majority ruled and his plea was
lost.
Participation of the single takers in
Saturdays convention followed an ear
lfer session at which they decided to
present their platform demands and
views on candidates. They are under
stood to be willing to accept either
Charles H. Ingersoll, watch manufac-
turer, or Amos Pinchot, one Of the
leaders Of the Committee Of Forty
eight, for presidential nominee. They
are opposed, their leaders say, to ac-
cepting Robert M. La Toilette, the
favorite presidential candidate Of the
forty-eighters, and may bolt the con-
vention and select their w ticket if
La Toilette is nominated.
Termination Of the single takers
course vas declared to be contingent
upon three things, first the platform,
which, they said, must include q single
tax plank, second, the candidate, and
third, the name of the party.
The party lame promises to develop
a fight. Members Of the single tax
group want some reference to their
name incorporated in the party name.
The Labor party Of the United States,
whose convention opened Sunday, are
willing to join the third party move
ment, and probably will accept La Fol-
lette as a candidate, but demands that
the word "labor" be included in the
party designation.

Declare Fuel Problem Hinges
Upon Car Supply. Oppose
Zone Rules.
ORDERS ARE D|S0BEYED
Operators Claim That Railroads Have
Not obeyed the Interstate Com
merce Commissions Orders in
Assignment Of Cars.

Observation-Disclosures coal mine
operators meeting here failed to work
out any plan to bring about immediate
shipment of e winters coal to the
northwest, although agreeing that the
problem Of obtaining 1000 carloads
daily ut lake ports for movement to
that territory hinged entirely on car
supply.
There was no Indication that n
plan would be worked out for the
joint conference of the operators and
railroad executives ut New York We'd
nesday. The operators conference,
however, will continue but its discus
sion is expected to be devoted largely
to questions that the operators will
present to the railroad men .
General complaint was made by the
operators that the railroads we're not
strictly Obeying the interstate COM
merce commissions 50-day priority Or
der giving preference to the mines in
the assignment of open cars. Appar-
emily the operators interpreted the
order as requiring the assignment of
all open top equipment to the mines,
but some charged "willful violations"
on the part of the carrier. Ohio op-
orators were understood to have de-
clared that 200 coal cars in their terri
tory had been allocated to ship pipe
to Texas oil fields since the commits
sion's order.
Two proposals rejected by the op-
orators were suggested by a commit
tee named by the general conference.
Establishment of a zone system, re-
stricting the sales territory of the op-
orators with a view to shortening the
haul, was rejected after the operators
had complained that such a plan would
cause them to break contracts. The
other proposal for a division of the
coal supply for the northwest among
mines in Ohio, western PENNSYLVANIA,
West Virginia, Illinois and Indiana
also was rejected after the meeting
was Informed that contracts have been
made for all of the northwest's supply.

RIDE OVER FALLS IS FATAL
Victim Leaves a Wife and II Children
in EnoIand.

Niagara Falls, N. Y.-Charles G.
Stephens Of Bristol. England, was
killed Sunday when he went over the
Horse Shoe falls in a barrel. The
cask in which he made the trip, though
built Of stout Russian oak slaves and
bound with steel hoops, was smashed
like an eggshell on the jagged rocks
at the base of the catract. Pieces of
the barrel were picked up near the
bank on the Canadian side, but Ste
phen's body has not been recovered.
Stephens was IS years old and has a
wife and IL children in Bristol. where
he was a barber. He served three
years in France with the British army.
He had planned to make a lecture
tour of England if his trip was sue
cessful.
Bobby Leach, who went over the
Horse Shoe falls in 1911, told Ste
phens before he started that his trip
would be a failure. Leach predicted
that the barrel would not withstand
the drop of 15S feet, but Stephens re-
fused to be dissuaded from the VEN
ture. Leach was among the spectators
who watched the start of Stephens
fatal trip.
Few knew that Stephens was to
make the trip Sunday, and when the
barrel was towed out into the river on
the Canadian side, two miles above
the falls, there were only q dozen on
hand to watch It.
