YOU, rs Il BUYER, GAN Make
POSSIBLE VARIETY Nv STOCK
TO CHOOSE MERCHANDISE

We have passed through the causes of ex-
peetancy OF home protection, the origin of mer-
chandlslng and the joint value to you and to the
merchant of quick turnovers.
Now what is the effect of the home merchant
only supplying your immediate or urgent needs?
Only the buyers can make it possible for him to
do more. Let us see.
If we were living in community where
the ladies needed no party dresses; where no full
dress functions were ever held; where ice was
never called for; where electric fixtures were un-
known; merchant who had a shop to sell these
commodities would be rated quite inferior in
mentality. Would he not? How can mer-'
chant be called on to invest on broad scale in
commodities or to carry variety, when the de-
mand he knows is all about him, is going to
other sections The local merchant fully I'M
derstands the needs, even the demands of the
local population, and is anxious to fill Them
They buy from the same sources that good mer-
chants in every section do. They spend their
money at home and by doing so are helpful in
building up the trade of the city. They know
that if they bought their personal needs in larg-
er communities the larger places would grow
at the expense of ours and that they would be
sitting the ambitions and anxiety of local houses
to carry broader lines and at even lower prices.
So then the effect of buying away from home
cannot improve any local condition. but rather
must magnify it. The remedy in consequence
is not with the seller, but absolutely with the
buyer.
BUY AT HOME is a sane argument and
one that civic pride urges and further, that your
good judgement and your purse strings must
advocate.

RECOMMENDATION
First Degree Murder Is
Verdict With Quail
flying Clause
WILL GO UP FOR LIFE
Defendant Told Witness
To Be Sure Tell
the Truth
by Associateo Pressl

Jacksonville, Oct. 15.-Frank Raw
lings was found guilty of murder in
the first degree with a recommenda
tlon for mercy by jury in circuit
court here early tonight. Rawlings
trial grew out of the killing here
September 4 of George H. Hickman,
manager of the Palace theatre, when
Rawlings robbed the playhouse of
$500. The jury deliberated more
than two hours. The verdict auto
matically carries ca sentence of life
Imprisonment, the same sentence
given John H. Pope, local attorney,
upon conviction last week of having
planned hte robbery and being "con-
structively" present.
Rawlings Fate today centered
largely around the testimony given
by himself and that of E. f. Harri-
son, treasurer of the theatre, who
was in the office with Hickman when
he was killed, and who was struck
over the head with a revolver. The
defense sought to show that Hick
man would not have been killed had
he and Harrison not grappled with
Rawlings and Hickman brought his
pistol into play. Rawlings claimed his
revolver was discharged accidental
ly during the struggle.
When Harrison took the stand to-
day and asked to describe the de-
tails of the killing, Rawlings partly
arose from his seat and said:
"And tell exactly what happened
and nothing mroe," -.sa-
Hearing is expected to begin Mon
day on Pope's application for new
trial.

Railway Labor Board

For Pow Wow
SEEK|N ADJUSTMENT
Brotherhood Statistician
Says Executives Made
False Figures
(By Associated Preas.l

Washington, Oct. 15.-The public
group of the Railroad Labor Board
and the full membership of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, By
personal direction of President Hard
mig, Joined forces today nj an effort
to avert the threatened serious rail-.
road labor complication.
Summoned to Washington by the
President the three members rep.
resenting the public on the Railroad
Labor Board were escorted by Mr..
Harding, himself, to a conference
with the members of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, which was
unfinished at the end of the day and
left open to resumption Monday.
Silence was maintained by all par
ties to the conference, even in the
face of the strike call, but the pur-
pose of the meeting was said in a
White House announcement, to be
consideration "of the possibility of
an early adjustment of railroad rates
and wagese."
"The President has been impressed
that a somewhat anomalous situation
surrounds the relations of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and the
Railway Labor Board" the statement
said. "The commission has very
iaree powers. through its control of
ratese, to determine what the reve-
nue. of the roads should be, while the
Railway Labor Board, through its
authority in the matter of wage de-
termination, has a very large power
in determining the largest item of
railway expenditures. The President
was therefore, impressed with the
desirability of getting these two higIi-
ly potential bodies together and reach
ing something like a definite under
standing between them.
