 They had halted in the middle of a stream of pedestrians. 4 policeman crowded his way to them.
 "Moye on" he growled.
 
 Bin Dale was al that moment enter ing the lobby of the BlaisdeIl with Robert McLaurin at his side. Dale had just told McLaurin that he meant to go to Cincinnati to borrow money from his wealthy friend Harris. Then McLaurin told Dale something that saved him the journey to Cincinnati. You haven't heard about Harris, Bill? I'm sorry, because he would have accommodated you. He went broke few days ago in the cotton smash. He was here yesterday, and left last night for Cincy."
 Dale did not try to conceal his sur- prise and disappointment. Harris, for all his youth, had been a business mar. vel.

 When John Moreland and Ben LAt- tieford had finished their breakfast there in the dining room of the Blais- dea, they drank the water from their fingerbowls, threatened with sudden death the waiter who snickered. and found the way to the lobby.
 To Littleford the minutes dragged soddenly. Finally he told MoreIand, in sentence filled with double mega lives. that he could bear the suspense no longer and proposed that they set out al once for Doctor BraeIner's hos pitaL The hotel manager overheard some of the one sided conversation be phoned the surgeon and learned that the young woman was resting easily, which information he passed on to the mountain men.
 Ben Ldttleford was quiet for i've minutes, more or less. Then he again proposed to John Aioreland that thev go 10 the hospital to see Babe. More. land refused flatly, and accompanied his refusal with an unmistakabIe look Of contempt.
 You're as restless as a dawg in a flea town" he told his old enemy. and with that he walked away.
 few minutes later Ben Littleford stole our unnoticed by his neizhbor from the Big Pine. and went at brisk gait up the street Moreland found if out shortly afterward; he followed the Littleford chief hotfoot, and overlook him. Trust your hill dweller to note landmarks when he goes Into unknown territory = Littleford was headed straight for the hospital.

in the East and Middle West. For me it was the best in the thirty-one years I have been established in the chewing gum manufacturing industry. One of the biggest factors for my excellent showing is advertising.
 I am spending $11, 1000 a day this year to push my chewing. am also spending what would have been a fine ransom for a king in the good old days to popularize Catalina Island.
 The judicious use of printers ink is the greatest selling force in the world. If you do business on a worldwide basis, or even in the locality encom- passed within few blocks, you have got to keep the people interested or you won't sell them your goods.
 1 have tried them all and l know whereof l speak, that the only effec- tive way to appeal to hundreds of mill lions, or just few hundred people, is in advertising space.
 The International News Service asks me how I believe the average individual can help in restoring pros perity.
 To my way of thinking the great est cure for hard times is to stop talk ing, get a job, or if you are an em- ployer hire more men, be doer, not dreamer,and try to keep your money circulating where it will most effec- lively help improve the public good

Miss Edna Enrich of Little Rock was in Mena Friday to return Mrs. Arley Johnson back home. Mrs. John- son was sent to the state hospital not quite year ago to receive treatment after having been convicted in circuit court of moonshining. She was given the best treatment available by the state, but her condition did not irn- prove as expected and the state au- thorities decided it best to have Mrs. Johnson back home. The woman was accompanied by her little niece, who is motherless, and who has been in Mrs. Johnson's care for several years.

WRIGLEY SEES WAY
 TO PROSPERITY
Declares Nation Has Been on "Busi- ness Drunk" but Points Way to SO-
 brfety and Tells How to Sell More
 Goods-Fortune by Advertising.

William Wrigley, Jr., multimillion- aire chewing gum manufacturer, owner of Catalina Island and propri- etar of the Chicago Cubs. of the Ma tional League, and Los Angeles An gels of the Pacific Coast League, was asked two questions by the Interna- tional News Service. These were:
 1. Are better times in sight for the United States?
 Q How can the average individual help in restoring prosperity?
 Mir Wrigley, who pays experts in every part of the country to keep him reliably informed on the business situation, sounded an optimistic note in his reply, which follows herewith. "The good old American dollar is coming back" he says. Here is his statement:
 By WILLIAM WRIGLEY, JR. Written for International News Service Copyright, 1922, by the International
 News Service.
 Chicago, Feb. 11.--My large invest ments necessarily compel me to keep close tab on the country's economic situation and I am glad to say I am informed business is getting better in the East and that this condition is spreading to the Middle West by de- grees.
 From all that I can learn the good old American dollar is coming back into it's own. People from one end of the nation to the other are getting around to the idea that the only basis for real prosperity is an honest days work for a fair days wage.
 The United States, considered as a whole, has been on a business drunk for the last five years. Prices, up to recently,were out of all sense and proportion for the value received Some fellows fell into a habit of charging three times what a thing was worth and when some poor devil paid what they asked wanted to kick themselves because they didn't charge more.
 The high value of our dollar has kept the foreign trade of the United States from expanding. However, I am selling more chewing gum in Eu- rope as each month goes by and be- lieve other American products will show a like gain in foreign favor.
 Yes, l believe American prosperity will be back before long. No one can say just how long. But it is a cinch ihe richest and most intelligent people on the face of the earth are not ro- lng to let a temporary slump in busi- ness hold them down. We havs fhe men, the money and the material. Sd
 is only question of getting things hnmmlng again.
