The alert business man dealing with
present day conditions knows that
the big word to-day is Turnover"
Whether he be a merchant, manufac-
turer, jobber, or banker, he sees that
one thing with clear vision unbiased
by the limits of his own business. 1t
is in the air, and on the tip of every
tongue.
And yet many of them-entirely
too many-are thinking on only one
side of Turnover. They think of it as
meaning rapid selling-putting money
in and getting it out quickly and at
a profit. They realize that they must
put greatly increased efforts back
of all their plans for selling and dis
tribution.
The other half of Turnover is the
consumer. All selling plans and efforts
fail if the consumer doesn't want to
buy. His desire for the product must
be created. He must meet the seller
half way. He must be in mood to
buy before the salesman meets him
across the counter.
That is the function of Advertising

COMMUNICATED

Mr.. Edltor:-
If you will allow me a brief space
in the columns of your paper, would
like to make a statement in regards
to the sad misfortune that came last
Monday at noon to Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
H. Murphy, on the Staytonsville road,
about five miles from town, in the
burning of their home. The house and
all it's contents were utterly destroy
ed. Every piece of clothing, except a
few pieces belonging to the 4 weeks
old baby, and what they had on, was
destroyed. Nothing was saved and al
most by a miracle was the little four
weeks old baby saved. Mr.. and Mrs.
Murphy are good people and they were
working hard to pay for their little
home and very small farm. This sad
blow has come upon them. have two
suggestions. The first is, let every
body who can, help this family with
some money. They need it and need 1t
badly 1 am taking this responsibility
entirely upon myself know. Give
your sympathy personally to these
people in a practical way or if you
make it to me, I will see that they
get it. My second suggestion is that
when Mr.. Murphy gets ready to build
that every carpenter and mason IN
this town give him one days work
and we will put Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy
in a larger degree back on their feet.
We can do it and none of us will be
hurt. Come on now, everybody.
c. E. DRYDEN, their pastor.

BOWERS BEACH

Great preparation is being made by
all that cater to the accommodation OF
those who have already made applica-
ton for board and lodging for the
coming weekend and extending over
Memorial Day.
The week-ends are coming and in
fact have already come to be a very
popular time for visitors and those
seeking accommodations brought
about more perhaps by those coming
here for the purpose of hook and line
fishing, which has become great as
set to this place.
The last weekend there were
enough nimrods to call in use eleven
of the motor transportation boats to
accommodate the parties that were
here on fishing bent and the major
part of them were from the State OF
Pennsylvania and Wilmington; and
the parties--were well rewarded for
their time and expense. The aggregate
amount of fish caught as reported by
the different boats were ten hundred
and fifty-One, composed of weak fish,
sea croakers, and a number of blue
fish of extra size. The blue fish have
been more plentiful so far this sea-
son than formerly and are quite
gamey.
There is a company of men now en-
gagged here at work on the govern
ment lights for Murderkill River-the
altitude was not sufficient and they
are raising them to a sufficient height.
They purpose to do away with the oil
lamps at the entrance of st. Jones'
River and install gas lights at that
point.

State Senator InsIey Dead

State Senator George B. Insley
aged SO years, died at his home in
Bethel, Monday night, after a linger-
ing illness. He is survived by his wife
and one son, Lee Insley, manager OF
the Arcadia Theatre, at Salisbury, Md
Senator Insley who was a Demo
crat was elected to the State senate
at the 1920 election by a majority OF
42S, the largest majority senatorial
candidate has ever received in that
district; the second of Sussex county
He had two more years to serve in
the senate. His successor will be elect
at the general election next fall foI
the unexpired term unless a special
session of the legislature should be
called for any reason, in which event
a special election would have to be
held to fill the vacancy.
At the time of his election in 1920
Senator Insley was i'll and had been
i'll for some time previous to the cleo
tion, so that he not only was unable
to do any campaigning but was un-
able to even vote himself at that cleo
tiOn. His large vote under these con-
ditions is an indication of his popu-
larity in the district.
Following the election Senator In
sley was taken to the Salisbury, Md,
Hospital and later to Johns Hopkins
Hospital, Baltimore, where he was op-
Grated on for abscess of the kidneys.
He hOvered between life and death
for weeks. He eventually recovered
sufficiently to take his seat in the Sen
ate during the 1921 session of the leg
islature but not until several weeks
after the opening of the session. He
served throughout that session and
made many friends.
Senator Insley also served in the
two special sessions of the Senate
called last year to confirm judicial ap-
pointments made by Governor Den
ney.
The deceased never fully recovered
after the first operation in Baltimore.
He had been i'll Immediately previous
to his death for some weeks.

Foreign Advertising Representative
THE AMERICANP PRESS ASSCCiATION

The result of the proposed rates,
naturally, will be to restrict the use
of potash and cause a decline In
crop production. The farmer, still
suffering from reverses of 1920 and
1921, which almost overwhelmed
him, cannot buy at an advance OF
$50 a ton the quantity of potash
requisite for his needs. II the pro-
posed rates are voted, he will strain
himself to buy what he can, but the
sight of his underfed crops will be a
constant reminder of the injustice
that has been laid on him.
Because of physical conditions
and geographical location, it is
economically unsound as it is
morally wrong to take by taxation
from the farmer for the benefit of a
private interest. The potashcon-
Stunning regions are on the Atlantic
Seaboard and west to the Missis-
sippi River. The potash-prOducing
points are west of the Missouri
River, and the high freight rates
from these producing points to con-
Stunning centers make successful
competition with the French and
German products impossible.
Foreign potash is water-borne
from points of production to Allan
tic port destination, and transpor-
| tation charges are consequently
relatively low. Foreign potash oc-
ours in huge natural deposits and is
mined cheaply, while production OF
| American potash is a costly process.
Because of cheap ocean rates 1t is
| economical to ship material of low
potash content which sells to Amer
lean consumers at lower price per
| init of potash than the higher grade
salts. American producers cannot
| ship low grade material, but because
of high freight rates must concen-
trate into high percentage of potash.
The low grade foreign potash con-
tains much magnesia, which is an
essential element in the growing OF
Il
truck. 1t is obvious, therefore, that
even if a duty were placed upon
foreign potash, some American
farmers would be forced to buy it in
order to raise crop.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
aration has already voiced it's oppo-
ition to this duty, in a communica-
ion to the Senate Finance Commit
tee. Thousands of protests by wire
Ind mail are being delivered to
Congressman and Senators daily
Add your protest to the volume
Write your Senator in opposition to
The tax, and write your Congress

JOHN WANAMAKER URGES EN-
FORCENiENT OF PROHIBITION. }.

In letter received few days ago
by the Philadelphia Law Enforce
ment League from John Wanamak-
err, the nationally known merchant
and philanthropist heartily endorses
the Eighteenth Amendment. We
quote as follows:
"There can be no real difference
of opinion regarding the necessity
for the enforcement of this law, as
we'll as any other law that has been
placed upon the statute books of the
nation. To enforce one and not
another is to breed disrespect for all
law, and weakens the whole fabric
Of our government.
"The prohibition amendment was
adopted in the manner prescribed by
our constitution. It was not hur-
ried proceeding, or taken upon snap
judgment, but was long foreshadow-
ed by the prohibition legislation en-
acted by the various states.
sit was peculiarly fitting that pro-
nave
to the amendment giving suffrage to
the women, who are now our real
partners in life. What humiliation
it would have been to have invited
our mothers, wives and daughters
to cast their votes in saloons, as was
so often the case, and in an atmos-
phere of liquor and drunkenness.
Personally, believe in prohibi-
ton, because in a long experience
have seen the evil and degrading
effects of the liquor traffic, and do
not believe that it can be safely
played with any more than can dope
or dynamite.
81 do not think that the American
people will ever want to go back to
the old regime, but if there are
those who think otherwise, the same
orderly procedure is open to them
that took place in enacting the pro
hibition amendment"

PENNSYLVANIA NEW NATIONAL,
FOREST.

Purchase of 74,025 acres of land
to form the nucleus of the new AL
legheny National Forest in Pennsyl-
vania has just been authorized by
the National Forest Reservation
Commission. Twenty-seven tracts
of cut-over and burned lands, on the
headwaters of the Allegheny River
in Warren, Elk, Forest, and Nc
Kean Counties, were contracted for
at an average price of $2.75 an acre.
1T is less than year." said w.
w. Ashe, Secretary of the Commits
sion, 'since authority was given the
Federal Government to acquire
land for national forest purposes in
Pennsylvania. By protection and
systematic management, the cut
over lands so acquired will again be
made to contribute to the timber
supply of the State and Nation, sup
plementing in this way the forests
which the State itself is acquiring
and putting under management.
Because of its enormous industrial
needs Pennsylvania ranks among
the first in it's timber requirements.
Four-fifths of the lumber used by it's
industries and people is now pro-
duced outside it's borders. For this
reason the people of Pennsylvania
are vitality concerned in the up
building of productive forests both
in their own and in other States.
