DEMENTED MAN IS
 BETTER; RELEASED

Jonesboro Evening Sun, 2Sth: ~McCoy Nevel of Trumann, who threw fits of insanity at the county jail for two days following his ar rest on a charge of assault with in- tent to kill an officer, was released yesterday on S1,000 bond and was taken by relatives to his home at Trumann. His condition was better but his actions were queer even as he left the jail.
 < 1Dr. Stroud, who at behest of Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Kelly of Trumann, examined Nevel to determine his sanity, said that from all appearances the crazcd condition was produced by the violent whis- key, the influence of which Nevel was under when he defied the of ficer. The doctor believed the de- mented condition would wear off within a few days if Nevel remains quietly at home.
 ''When Nevel learned after be- coming sober just what he had done and learned that charge of mur- derous assault was hanging over him, the insanity struck and his actions gave the jailor much trou- ble.D

an awful lot about international af-
 fairs. He's hay regarding the Tap
 cable and the open door in China
 and the naval aspect of Guam. But
 he has hunch, gained from the popular press, that it would cost him less for living if the govern ment spent less money on the army
 and navy.
 The same papers tell him that if the Washington conference succeeds the government can spend less for the army and navy. Whereupon he emits lusty "Banzai!" for the Washington conference.
 In every grade of society the sentiment is the same. For weeks the officials have been wrestling with estimates and, at present, have
 made a reduction of about $70,000,- 1000 in next years budget, as com pared with the present. However that is only on paper for the pres ent, and there will be other revi- sions before the budget is finally prepared and presented to the Diet l The tentative budgets for the next fiscal year have been made upon basis of continuation o1 the eight-eight naval construction program and also continued main taining of the Expeditionary forces ;, io An that these proposed expenditure! will not have to be made.
 If present indications here are re alized the naval items can be con.
 siderably reduced as a result of tha 1 Washington conference. The pros lpeet is that no withdrawal of tho Japanese troops from Siberia car 1 be expected for some months, but even if the soldiers are ordered out 1 by next spring, money will bt
 saved from the tentative budget. A great hue and cry has beer
 raised over all suggestions that thu 1 educational appropriations might bt reduced. Without exception, all thu
 principal Japanese newspapers hop ped into the ring and howled. They declared that of all things thai
 must not be touched that must indeed, be tilted if possible-th,
 education budget heads the list l One of the arguments commonly
 made was that the education budget this year is only about 3.5 per cent
 of the total budget and about ter
 per cent of the naval estimates
 and that the total army and navy
 appropriations amounted to almost
 fifty per cent of the entire govern
 ment revenues.

 GERMAN CODES
Salvage Experts and Divers
 Obtain Them From Sub
 marines at Oceans Bot tom.

(By International News Service) London, Dec. 2S.A fascinating account of how sunken U-boats were made to yield up their se- crets was told at Portsmouth in a lecture by Sir Frederick Young, the head of the Admiralty Salvage De- partment during the war.
 Describing the methods adopted, Sir Frederick said that each enemy submarine carried codes, operation orders and other material of the utmost value to England, which was obtained by the English in the most extraordinary auxiliary to war intelligence service ever formed. This was composed of divers and |other salvage experts selected from the Admiralty Salvage Section, which, organized as a special
 branch, dealt with salvage as a whole s
 Whenever an enemy submarine was sunk the Salvage Branch was
 COlu Oll u ONCl iolii ASl. III fCA J few cases was the boat raised. The divers went down to her as she lay, cut their way into her interior and then searched her thoroughly. It was extremely dangerous, difficult and sometimes gruesome work. It often had to be done at great depths, and the divers crawled about |the sea bottom in inky darkness performing their tasks as best they could.
 Much information of the utmost value in combating the U-boat of fensive was obtained.
 It was this submarine branch that also unearthed the secret of the
 German magnetic torpedo, letting
 the world into the secret of grave menace to shipping.

HOW LOCAL BUSINESS GETS AWAY

 Sufferers from different diseasei must have purchased from the firm. that advertised remedies for them Men who had sold their farms wer, invited by city bond houses and banks to invest it with them. There were lots of tips to business il the local papers.
 Straight Talk to Small Town
 Merchants.
 Were local merchants offsettins this mail invasion by using adyer Using space in local papers and in forming their communities that they handled nationally advertised ant standard merchandise? Some were Ebut not enough. We were helpint many big advertisers to check uI on the advertising of the local mer Echant.
 These advertisers wanted to know about every local merchant tha twas featuring their brand so w clipped the local merchants ad (when they appeared) and sen them to the advertiser; the loca merchant would often forget to dt that, you see But the number O small town merchants who wer' taking advantage of the good will already created by liberal nationa ladvertising ill the daily papers, etc. flor a product were all too few. Ye there could not have been mor' defective method for keeping trad' at home.
 How One Small Town Merchan
 Advertises.
 The value of informing his com munity that he sells nationally ad Ivertised brands is realized by { live implement, hardware and feet store man in a small ohio town In one issue of the local S-pag' weekly he had five advertisement totaling S3 inches. Two of then were general ads. The other thre' were given over to notices that h, handled different advertised prod Iucts the largest space, 3 columns 1 by IS inches, being devoted to thi very purpose. Other issues show this merchant running from two t five ads in each, so he must hay, found that it pays him. There is no more effective wa. to keep business at home than b. showing in your local paper, MT Merchant, that you handle the good that have already won the interes of the public through national ad
 vertising.

There's nothing in that paper, any more.
 Oh, I've heard it. said about the local paper when I helped my father in the postoffice in village of 525. And heard 1t again, intended for my ears. when. I was the reporter for the same paper and still again when l was reporter for the weekly in the county seat of 3,243.
 It was partly true because neither paper carried much advertising and tho quantity. and kind of advertising is generally . good index to the paper, Nevertheless I found out a low y1ars later that there was some thing tin the local papers. For five years I hold job, in which one of my duties was to see how much re tail business could be taken away from business men in small towns who didn't go after it.
 Invaded tho Small Towns and Cities
 In short we invaded the small towns and cities-through the local pApers--for ths names of persons who were in, the market for some thing. We furnished the names to naail-crder houses They must have sold the xoods or they wouldn't have paid for the service right along. In our press-clippins bureau we kept thirty girls busy reading and clip ping items out of papers. We got the sHiall-tcwn papers, too, although our nams might not be found on their mailing list.
 Ono Of these girls would pick up \ copy of your local paper the one that didn't have anything in it. you know-and with her blue pen ell would mark forty or fifty items in it. Most all of these items were sent to some firm that would try to sell something in your town. Not all of them were to firms directly fin competition with the local busi- ness man but some of them were. Got List of the Newly Wed" from

 Because they had the names of new proud parents baby carriage manufacturers would send .cata- logues in competition with the fur niture dealer. The mail order houses went after the newly married couples to feather their nests Ready-cut lumber firms and other lumber houses went after those who were going to build houses or barns, Even the paint firms sought out those who were erecting houses.
