Ha! Ha! Now there's another fail

the public treasury. At least short
age of $8,132.75 in the accounts of six
former clerks of the Appellate court
has been reported to Attorney Gen

the present clerk, together with a re
quest for an opinion as to how to pro-
ceed to collect the money
Mr.. Brady, desiring to protect him
self against any shortage for which
he might be held liable, caused an
audit Of the accounts of the office.
This was completed recently, and he
made a demand on his immediate pre-
decessor, James B. McInerney, for
the total amount found to be missing,

liable on his bond for the amount

Seventy new highway policemen,

their decision was announced Hay

Bell contends that the county board
has no right to appropriate money

lea who are vitally interested in

out IL the chain store proves to be
the legitimate method of merchan-
chandising.
Personally I feel that this change
is due to the fact that the chain
store comes nearer to giving the
public what it wants and prospers
for that reason. If the local mer-
chants will adopt the same up-to-
date methods of economical mer-
chandising he need have nothing to
fear from chain store competition.
These newer and especially these
self help establishments are doing
a splendid business because their
plan is practical and because they
are being operated by young men
with initiative and enthusiasm. The
railroads did a fine business when
they were SO operated 20 or 80
years ago. Chain stores, however,
will have their troubles just as the
railroads have had theirs. Clerks,
truck drivers and buyers will some
day be organized and as saucy and
Independent as the typical plumber
is today. Then the chain stores
sales will drop off and operating
expenses will increase and they will
have to adopt more modern form
of merchandising or give way to a
new order. The "self help" system
eliminates labor difficulty to con-
siderable extent and presents a
most interesting study both as to
service and to cost.
II appeal particularly to mer-
chants OF the older school and urge
them to study very carefully these
"self help" stores, with their "self

help" service. 1t is true that the
average merchant cannot get the
advantage of collective buying un-
less he himself joins chain. Any
merchant, however, can install a
self help" system of selling inde-
pendently. OF course, this means
more than reorganizing the fixtures
of his store. He must change his
entire attitude. The ''self help
stores for instance are very depen-
dent upoh advertising, much more
so than are the chain stores and To-
cal merchants. The latter must
advertise more than ever if he is to
adopt the "self help" system.
am not a merchant, merely statis-
tican. Statitiscs, however clearly
indicate that If the local merchant
continues as at present he will be
eliminated from American industry
to make way for more modern ma
chinery of distribution.
"In regard to chain store secur-
tiles. Most Of these merchandising
companies should do well for the
next few years. Mail order con-
Germs will also prosper, but I pre-
dict that even stores like the A &
P will some day change over to a
self help system. They will be
forced to in order to survive. When
the change is made their securities
will become "self help" securities.
1t is not my purpose" concluded
Mr.. Babson, "to recommend them as
securities, but rather to try to awake
the local merchants before it is too
late, and to get them to adopt the
methods Of more economical distri-
button which are winning out to-
day.
General business according to the
index figure of the Babsonchart,
stands at II per cent below normal.
This is encouraging indeed when
you realize that 1t is holding up in
face of the threatened rail strike on
top of the usual summer dullness.

SELF HELP STORES
Babson, the Statistican Advises the
Merchants to Adopt
New Method

Wellesley Hills, July 1, 1922. In
an interview today Roger w. Bab-
son appealed to merchants to study
the ''self help" stores. He believes
that the small merchant has great
opportunity If he will only adopt
modern methods and advertise
more. He insists. that the public
does not demand the Chain stores,
but rather demands economical and
convenient service. People buy
from the chain stores because that
is the only place in their community
that they cam get such service, he
continued.
"Chain stores are having q tre-
mendous run today. They are
springiI,S up in every community.
Local merchants are beginning to
become panic stricken. They fear
that the chain store is to swallow
mp everything. Grocers. druggists
and clothing dealers are especially
troubled. Considering the tremen-
dous number of small merchants
this is problem in which everyone
should be interested. There are for
Instance over 100000 independent
grocers in this country. To have
their business wiped out would re-
suit in tremendous economic ap-
peal. All together there are over
100000 small merchants in Amer

Beware of Candles,

In order that the joyful spirit of
Christmas times may not be marred
by the dangers of fires in homes, Fire
Chief W. E. Ringold today made a
statement urging householders to
exercise every possible precaution a.
gainst fires that may start on Christ
mas trees. Candles should not be used
in trees under any consideration, the
chief says, and great care should be
exercised if illumination is furnished
through the medium of electricity.
Cotton should not be used either to
string over the boughs of everCreens.
The chief states that it is a common
practice on the part of many drivers
of cars and truckes to fill with gaso-
line while the engine is running. If
gasoline runs over on the car and
flows near the exhaust pipe, great
danger of fire ensues. Filling with
gasoline while the engine is running
is against state law, the chief states,
and the practice is fraught with great
danger.
