G. H. Bradford, Gale
DOMAIN Editor, Is Dead

News has been received from Sheg-
/ brooke of the death Of George II.
Bradford, a member of the Calcdo-
Man staff in the early sixties under
! Editor c. NJ. Stone, and well known
in ST Johnsbury where he married
Miss Ellen Newell, a sister of Mrs.
Adelaide N. Ely.
MI. Bradford was born and
brought up in Shcrbrooke May 10,
1889. He learned the printing Trad"
under the late J. S. Walton, publish
er of the Shcrbrookc Gazette, and
later in partnership with hi brother,
the late Hunter Bradford, who took
over the business. He carried on
successful business for many years.
He was a Conservative in politics, u
charter member OF St. Georges Club,
Mason, member of the Independ
ent and Canadian Order of Forest
ers, and life long member Of the
Church of England.
lie leaves to mourn his loss, his
wife, one son, and three daughters.
The Gazette said cditorially:
an the passing of Mr.. Bradford,
Shcrbrookc not only loses one Of its
oldest citizens but man who
through the long period of his life
has always been held in the highest
esteem by his fellow men. In his
years Of active journalism, Mr.. Brad |
ford was ever ready to serve the pub
lie interest and give the support of
his paper in every worthy 1ausc. He
had many friends and no enemies |
Most Of his close business associates |
have gone before him. For the past
II years he had felt the force of adj |
vancing years but his cheerful dispo-
sition did not fail him.
"Thc younger generation in Sher-
brooke, busy with the affairs of the |
day, may well pause for moment at |
the bier of George II. Bradford, stal- |
wart and worthy citizen Of another
period, who bore his share of respon- /
sibllity and rendered more than his |
share of service when Shcrbrookc |
was budding city. Another link |
between the past and present is sew
cred. We of today owe mucn to those |
who were directing Sherbrookc's des-
TIMES a quarter or half century ago.
George II. Bradford was a worthy |
member to that older grOsp Of cit

LOCAL ADVERTISING

A question that is being asked
by many a small town merchant
today is whether he should spend
money for space in his local
paper to advertise goods which
are advertised nationally by the
manufacturers. Very often he
has a line of goods that is adj
vertised extensively in the papers
and magazines that have a large
circulation throughout the coun-
try, but questions the good of
spending his own money to bring
these goods and the fact that he
handles them to the attention of
his toWnspeoplc.
An answer to this question is
found in the experience of ma
tional advertiser who spends
many hundreds Of thousands of
dollars year in national adver-
Using, but who does not pay any
part of the cost of local adver-
Using. This company, however,
has constantly urged its dealers
to spend their own money for
local advertising, and it shows
by figures Just what such local
advertising brings in returns.
At the end Of the first year in
which it urged its dealers to adj
vcrtise locally, in 80 per cent of
its branches, the statesmen who
made the highest volume of sales
were those who had the most
dealers doing local advertising.
OF 81 replies received by the
company 81 dealers were doing
local advertising and their av-
erage sales were $10,475. The
other ten did not advertise and
their AVERAGE sales were $500.
Those who advertised did Is
times as much business.
The next year 30i answered
the company's query. Thirty-six
did not advertise and did an av-
cragc business Of 5000 Two
hundred and siXty-cight were adj
vcrtising and their average sales
were $4,000. Advertising made
sales thirty-four times as great
As a result Of the company's
active work, the percentage of
its dealers who advertise locally
has grown from 81 to 90 IL.
The company gives all the help
it can to its dealers, furnishing
cuts, advertising copy, etc, if
desired, but pays no part of the
actual cost for space.
1t is true that most people to-
day, even in the smallest COM
munitics, read thcnational maya
zines and papers, and there
for see the advertisements
which makers of goods sold
everywhere use. TO a great ex-
tent these are general advertise
ments, rather than specific. Of
ten they give no prices; in fact,
give but a brief description of

PRESS COMMENT
ROOM ENOUGH IN VERMONT

If he United States government Is
going to give farm to those veter-
ans Of the late war, who desire to
become farmers, as part of the bo-
nus ple:i, there is absolutely no rea-
son why the plan should be used sole
ly for the development of the west.
There are several thousand vacant
farms in Vermont and several hun
dred thousand in the states east Of
the Mis- sippi. a large proportion
of thei Il can be bought for less
money than It takes to develop a
farm from Wild land of the west that
has nc,;er been titled. Eastern mem
bers of congress should be on the job
and see that the eastern states get q
share of this sort of development at

Columbus Ohio. Jan. 2e.-The fund
for the Ohio stadium passed tho mil

That the huge concrete structure to
seat $1,000 persons was definitely as
sured became known when the COM
mittee in charge of the campaign an
nounced that it had received S,O0l,OIl
in pledges from the alumni, former
students and friends of Ohio State
university, in three months of can
vassing
This nows was received joyfully on
tho university campus and by Colum-
bus citizens and 1t was expected that
1t would bring a thrill Of pride tho
world over from those who have CON
tributcd and been interested in tho
campaign for this great rocreational
project
Members of tho executive committee
and workers in the drive were cspc
cially iubilant over the fact that their
goal was reached in what is thought
college campaign. This record is all
tho more remarkable A that il was
made in the face of a. financial and
business depression that has enSulfcd
Tho country. 1t was pointed out that
everyone of tho collegiate drives in
au=urstcd within the last few months
has fallen short OF it's mark.
Actual solicitation OF funds in the
campaign began on October is which
Va observed thruout the country by
Ohio state people as the opening Of
rt1dium week. During this particular
week an intensive drive was carried
on In Columbus with the result that
nv its close over 100000 had been sub
scribcd. With this splendid start pro
rrcss was rapid and at the end of

Then began the appeal to the out
side sources. Distance was the chief
handicap in securing rcsponse from
these and two months were required TO
secure the needed sums from districts
outside of Columbus.
According to the directors of the
campaign many of these districts have
made no reports whatsoever, and it is
them until all have made some re
sponsc.
Tho executive committees determi-
nation to carry on is borne out by the
statement of Samuel n. Summer, gen
cral chairman. "Altho We arc elated
over the result of our campaign in the
face of the present money strinSency
we will not recognize it as an unGuali-
fed success until an ovorsubssiption

one who has had any experience in

AMATEUR BOXING RECEIVES new
IMPETUS UNDER THE IA. UNION
Metropolitan Amateur Athletic Union Prepares
lntercity Tournament for Boxers From
South and West

New York. Jan. cc.-AmonE the
many sports under the Jurisdiction of
the Amateur Athletic Union. which
have received the benefit of revived in
terest and popular support since the
overseas soldier athletes and Olympic
champions returned to the United
States, none seems to have been given
a greater impetus than boxing. From
every division thruout the country re-
ports arc being received daily at
Amateur Athletic headquarters here
giving unqualified assurance of tho
popularity of boxing in all sections.
Arrangements for tournaments with
the prospect OF bringing about "a series
of Interstate and interscctionsl glove
contests, are now being perfected in
the hopo that before the end of this
year a national championship meeting
of the best mon cyailablc in every
class. from hcavyweights to tho ban
tams may be brought to a successful
issue.
Renewed interest In this branch of
athletics is not confined to national
contests alone. Tho recent arrival OF
English, boxers. representing the
British Army and Navy and tho Lon
don Police force. to compete with
amateur glove wielders representing
the United States Army and Navy and
the New York Police Department
marks the beginning OF movement
which promises to develop annual or
semi-annual international contests in
which other European countries will
supply competitors in the near fu-
turc.
No better indication OF tho firm
hold which amateur boxing bouts have
on tho followers OF tho sport could
be given than the unusually large at
tendance which tho New York state
championship bouts attracted to the
Madison Square Garden here this
month. The tournament Mt first was
