DR.. ABEL A HAY

TIE News would consider DR..
Robert E. Abel a good prospect for
some n engaged in selling hay
presses. From an authentic source
we hear that last year he rented a
hay press from Mr.. ODE Roberts,
agreeing to pay Mr.. Roberts five
cents a bale for each bale put up,
and when the job was finished he
had to pay MI. Roberts more than a
new press would cost. Such being
his past experience we believe he is
an excellent prospect for a press
this year.-Chester News.

DECIDING WHERE TO BUY

The success of a business depends on its
ability to analyze the mental operations Of the
public. and to determine how people decide as to
where they shall buy goods. The merchants who
read the public mind most accurately set the
business.
When one finds that he needs something,
the question comes up where that article should
be bought. From some source back in the mind
the suggestion comes that such and such a place
would be a good store to visit for that purpose.
Whence comes that suggestion?
In the majority of cases, it is created by the.
store that has made the most effort to impress It's
reputation on the public mind. People remember
the things they hear about constantly. and they
forget other things that are rarely called to their
attention. The advertised store conforms to the
laws of psychology by constantly calling public
attention to its enterprises, its goods, It's methods,
its prices. and the advantages OF trading with II.
Consequently the inner consciousness, when ask
ed what or where a person should buy, is apt to
respond by suggesting certain advertised goods.
1t is of course true that while a store by adj
vertising can always draw in a lot of new trade
it can't keep it unless it really does give good val
ues. But advertising helps a store do that, nota-
bly, in these two ways:
Advertising encourages merchants to handle
big lots when such are offered them at low Zig
'ures. They know that by appealing to the public
by Advertising, they can swing these big lots and
turn them into money in a short time. Thus buy
ing in a large way and taking advantages of spec
ial opportunities, they are able to offer special
values.
Advertising increases volume of trade, thus
,educing the operating and overhead expense
article. making it possible to cut prices to the
rub. The advertised store buys and operates at
low figures, and can thus make low prices.

CHICAGO ROCKED
BY EXPL QsION IN
A STONE QUARRY
Only One Man Injured;
Windows Shattered in
South and West Portions
of City; Cause Unknown

Chicago, Feb. 24.-EXplosion Of
powder magazine in a stone
quarry in the southwestern out
skirts of Chicago, tonight shock
the entire city and caused consid-
cradle excitement before the site
of the detonation could be discov-
cred.
Alfred Kendle, operating a train
loading stone some distance from
the magazine, was the only man
injured. He was thrown fifteen
feet and his arm was fractured
The roof of the sanitary district
station, n mile from the quarry
was eaved in. Thirty-five men
working in the crushing plant near
the quarry We're not hurt although
the building was partly demol-
ished.
Many laborers employed in the
quarry live in cottages nearby but
none of the occupants were hurt
beyond cuts from broken glass.
When windows were shattered in
the south and west portions of the
city shortly before $3.50 o'clock.
excited calls were made to news
papers to discover where the eX-
ploslon had occurred and how
many had been killed. Inquiries
by telephone to many places failed
to discover what had exploded but
by a curious freak of newspaper
dom, an inquiry by the Associated
Press to Indianapolis soon brought
a bulletin from Lafayette, Ind,
that the explosion had occurred ut
McCook, Ill. on the outskirts of
Chicago.
This information, obtained
within a few minutes after the ex-
plosion, led to the tracing Of the
accident to the quarry, which is
situated in a rather secluded spot
So far as could be ascertained
no one was killed, and early re-
ports failed to explain how the
accident occurred.
The first definite report of Il
blast had reached Monon rail
road signal tower at Dyer, Ind
and had thence been relayed to
the Monon dispatcher at Lafayette,
whence it came back to Chicago
over the Associated Press wires.

MOTION PICTURE
ACTRESS NAMED
IN TAYLOR CASE
Alleged Confession lnCrim-
mates Well Known Star;
Name is Withheld BY
Sheriff at Detroit.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 24.-A mo-
ton picture actress who ranks nigh
in the profession was one of the
four pers4 ms who plotted the muir
der of William Desmond Taylor,
film director, according to the
story of Harry NJ. Fields under ar
' rest here, Sheriff Irving j. Coffin
of Wayne county announced late
today. The sheriff withheld the
woman's identity.
1t was stated also that addi-
tional violence had been uncovered
here which served to strengthen
Fields story of his knowledge of
the crime.
A search OF his effects disclosed
receipts showing Fields was in Los
Angeles the latter part of January.
Among these was a rent receipt
for a place in Venice, Calf, where
Fields has maintained the details
of Taylor's staying were arranged.
Fields, according to the sheriff,
stated that the actress was not
present when Taylor was shot. and
reiterated the only participants at
the scene of the crime were the
three he described as Wong Lee,
a Chinese, who did the shootlng;
Johnny Clark, a white man, and q
Jennie Moore, all of whom were
hired to take their parts IN the
murder.
Authorities here have been I'M
able to locate a handbook which
Fields is said to have had in Fis
possession at the time of his arrest,
bearing the name of "Sam Coplin.
an alleged alias. showing q deposit
of $3.50 in Chicago on February z,
the day after the Taylor murder,
Fields has, however. offered the
explanation that he maintained the
account in Chicago for the beneflt
of his daughter. and made de-
posits by mail, through a friend.
Officers point out that this would
clear up the issue that was raised
by the supposed presence OF the
suspect in Chicago, the day alter
he claims to have been in Los An
geles. The California authorizes
have been acquainted with the new
developments in the local inyesti-
cation.
Failure to locate Fields bank
book resulted tonight in the inVes-
tigation being carried TO chicago
where, officials here believed, II
might be found in possession OF
the friend" Fields named in MS
statement to the sheriff.
Tellers of the Chicago bank In
which Fields claimed to have de-
posted money the day following
the Taylor murder will be ques-
toned. it was said, in an effort to
confirm the deposit, either by
Fields or his friend" Should 1t
be found in this manner that
Fields personally made the deposit,
Sheriff Coffin said, there would be
reason to doubt the prisoners

he was looking down the black and
murderous mouth of As. he
grappled with the desperate ana

own pocket and pulled out his
own trusty "secre servic special"
which he had only purchased a
few days ago fearing such eli
max in his life.
The highway. realizing that ne
had a fight on. although he had
not been matched by any of the
dozen leading local promoters
broke away and ran few PAGES.

at the murderer's heart ana lei

Eddie remarked as police escorted
him to the hospital for treatment
You'll find his corpse somewhere
in the alley"
And then, although the story he
had told the police was peach
and right in line with the blood

year-old janitor boy should act,
Eddie admitted to police that may

Al THOUSE FINDS
SOME AMERICAN
SUMMER SONGS

It is difficult to imagine hard
working tenor giving up his sum
mer vacation to search for new
songs by American composers, but
such is a statement of fact. Paul
Althouse, the renowned American
tenor OF the Metropolitan Opera
company, who will appear here
February 2S, was determined to
find some good songs for his re
cital programs this season and dia
not hesitate to devote the create
part of his leisure this summer &c
finding them. Every day his az
companist came, and togetho
they waded through hundreds Of
new songs. separating the musical
wheat from the chaff, with the re-
suit that the Althous programs
this season feature several dis
coveries in song literature.
Speaking of his recital work
Paul Althouse said recently: ~
am looking forward to this season
of recital giving, with only coca
sional operate appearances. l like
being on tour. 1 enjoy the contacj
with new audiences. l am inter
ested in their varying points OF
view. After one sings the first
month or two of an operate sea-
son, one feels that the rest of tho
year, with the exception of pre-
mieres, becomes a matter of rou-
tine to the critics and to a large
part of the opera audience. On the
other hand, the audience ono
meets on tour has not been sur
feited with good music to the eX-
tent which is true of the New York
opera and dance goer."
