New York, Aug. 12.-Police, pri-
yate detectives. state constabulary
and railroad officials today are in
vestigating the bombing of a West
Shore passenger train at West Ber-
gen, N. j.
Three bombs, witnesses said,
were thrown at the holiday-laden
train, speeding from Weehawken.
The bombs exploded against the
sides of the cars. The latter, being
of steel. withstood the impact but
many windows were shattered and
scores of passengers We're injured
by bits Of flying glass.
The few persons nearby when the
explosions occurred, said they saw
motor car filled with men dash
away from the scene. Rail officials
declare that strike sympathizers
threw the bombs Union leaders dis
ayow the deed and point to the fact
that in the past the enemies of
unions have done wierd things to
prejudice unions in the minds of
the public.

The Test OF Good Will

The kind of good will that counts
most with the dealer is the good
will of the public towards your
goods.
If the consumer is demanding
your product, and the dealer is able
to supply it at profit, he will have
ample good will for the house that
makes this possible.
There is just one way to build up
this consumer good will, and that
is by making the product right and
telling the consumer about it's mer-
its through Advertising.
With the consumer demanding
your product, and the dealer dis
posed to give it every preference,
its steady sale is certain. Good will
becomes a big reality in business
when that good will extends to the
consumer. More and better adj
vertising will create the kind of
good will that every manufacturer
needs most.
Martinsburg journal. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1920-1977, 1922-08-14

Most manufacturers appreciate
the Importance of good will on the
part of the dealer, and count it one
of their greatest assets. But many
Of them need to consider more
thoroughly in what good will con-
sists.
The final test of good will is the
STABILITY of the productive con-
sumner demand.
The dealer may be willing to
concede the high standing and
prestige of the manufacturer. He
acknowledges freely that it is one
Of the foremost concerns in the
business, that it is backed by men
who have solid reputation in their
industry, and that its relations
with the dealer are businesslike
and pleasant. He is disposed to
estimate all these things at full
value.
But all this good will cannot ma
terially help the dealer sell your
goods unless the public is disposed
to buy them.

J.. S. SHIPPING
CARRIED MOST
Of TRADE HERE
American Vessels Brought
More Cargo Home Than
All Other Lines.
By Universal Service.

During the fiscal year ended June
80, 1922, United States ports wit
messed 1892 arrivals and depar-
lures of vessels engaged in water
borne foreign commerce, carrying
S0,23l 900 long tons of crago.
Analysis of statistics showing the
volume of United States shipping
in foreign trade, made by the bureau
of research, United States Shipping
Board, shows that 40 per cent OF the
arrivals and departures were Amerl'
can vessels, and 52 per cent OF the
total cargo tonnage handled through
United States ports moved under
the American flag.
The total vessel dreadweight en-
tering and clearing was 2l4,S52 900
tons, OF which 81 per cent was
American tonnage.
In considering these percentages,
II IL pointed out that oil traffic in
tankers and the traffic on the Great
Lakes are almost exclusively carr ed
on by American-flag vessels, and the
American percentage OF the to!al
commerce carried and vessel dead
weight employed is much higher in
consequence.
Analysis Of the statistics shows
that in relative efficiency. As indi-
Gated by the relation of load to
deadweight tonnage, the American
percentage is 37.9 per cent and the
foreign. 1874 per cent. The signifi-
canoe of these figures is that while
American vessels used 2.62 dead
weight tons to transport each ton
of cargo. foreign vessels used 2.74
deadweight tons per cargo ton.
Exports constituted 81 per cent of
the total commerce American yes
sells carried IS per cent of the total
imports and 80 per cent Of the total
exports.
Sixteen United States ports
handled foreign commerce in excess
of 100000 cargo tons each. The
ports were New York, New Orleans.

HIGHER TAXES
GALLANT |T0US, IS
OFFICIAL VIEW
Under Secretary Gilbert, Of
Treasury, Would Reduce
Expenditures.
By Universal Service.

Additional taxes to meet the esti.
mated Government deficit OF S672,-
900 900 for the current fiscal year
would be a national calamity. de-
clares Under Secretary Gilbert Of the
Treasury Department. in the Octobrr
number Of The Nations Business.
Nothing can be clearer than that
this Government owes II to itself
and to the~rest Of the world to keep
it's finances clean. and to make every
effort to balance its budget in 1928
and 1924 as successfully as in III"
three previous fiscal years" the
article says. adding:
THE sound way to accomplish
this is to reduce expenditures and to
avoid new avenues of expenditure to
such an extent as may be necessary
to wipe out the indicated deficits.
ITO reduce the deficit. and II DOS.
sible, to eliminate il by the end Of
the year, is the end toward which
the whole Administration is striving.
and the best hope Of accomplishing
it will be through increased revenues
from realization on securities and
surplus property. and more partic.
ularly in further reductions in eX.
penditure
This country came through the
war with a gross public debt at the
high point. on August 81. 1919, OF
s26 ,596 900 900. an increase of over
S25 900 ,00O.0 900 during the war pc
riod. On August 81, 1922, the total
gross debt stood at 3,O42 900. 900, p
reduction since the peak Of about
1854, 900 900.
THE greatest part OF this redIc.
ton has been accomplished through:
81. The reduction in the balance
in the general fund Of the Treasury;
p. The operation OF the sinking
fund and other debt retirem ents
chargeable to ordinary receipts. and
"3-The application to debt retire
ment of receipts from salvage and
other liquidation of war assets, and
to a much smaller extent. through
the use of ordinary revenues.
From now on the liquidation of
the debt will have TO be accomplished
largely from surplus revenue re.
ceipts, through the operation of the
sinking fund and other similar aC.
counts. The Treasury balance has
been reduced to about az low fig
ure as is consistent with the proper
conduct of the Governments bus q
ness. and there is little hope OF being
able to accomplish further debt re
duction by cutting down the working
balance in repositories"
