MAIL ORDER HOUSES BOOMING

Sales totals OF the gre on gail order houses show an
enormous increase, ,: gmSss,ly in strictly farming
sections ht II
This is not pleasas; aews for retail stores in our
average small town. bu. it is what they may expect
There is only one way in which the insidous mail
order campaigns can be combatted, and that is by
local merchants frankly explaining their merchandis
ing possibilities to the people through advertising
1t is well-known fact that the big mail order con-
Germs maintain departments of considerable magni-
tude to check up the towns where the local merchants
appear to lack enterprise.
There they concentrate their batteries of adver-
tisng and catalogue distribution
The mail order house never prospers in town
where the local merchants advertise consistently, be-
cause the mail order men know they cannot compete
with the local store if the merchant understands his
business
The cheapness with which the big mail order man
can buy is than offset by the low overhead the
local merchant can get along without
To hold his own, however the local merchant must
not hide his light under a bushel.
The public needs educating to a knowledge that
they can buy at home cheaply, that they actu
ally what they buying before they pay for it,
and that they do not have to wait sometimes weeks for
the delivery of the article they want.
The National Cloak and Suit Company reports a
heavy increase in it's business, all in the country,
though is doubtful if this great concern carries any
thing like the line Of up-to-date goods carried by
local stores throughout the country.
When the merchants get ready to talk plainly to
the people they will have nothing to fear from the
mail order man, but if they remain silent then the
outsider will surely burrow his way into their profits.
Sef-satisfaction has spelled many bankruptcy.

FRUSTRATE ALLEGED
CONFIDENCE SCHEME
TO SWINDLE FARMER

Harry Cohn, alleged confidence man,
who had set the stage to make
$4,000 haul in Richmond, was arrest
ed by Fort Wayne and Richmond po-
lice officers late Wednesday, ana
taken to the city police station. where
he gave $1,000 bond and was released.
Cohn failed to appear when his
name was called three times by Bal
lift Edward McNally. in police court
Friday morning. His bond was for
feited.
The policemen had no choice but to
turn Cohn loose when he offered bond
\ Thursday evening, according to a
statement by William F. Eversman.
In addition to this fact, 1t was i'm
possible TO convict Cohn on the evil
dence at hand, as it was simply his
word against Ehle's. The fact that
Ehle had no money with him and had
not lost any through his dealings with
Cohn, also made COINS conviction
difficult
The only crime for which the au-
thorities can refuse to accept bail,
when it is offered, is that of murder.
On the other hand, the state gained
$1,000 at practically no expense.
Cohn and a companion, had arranged
a meeting with John Ehle, farmer, OF
Fort Wayne, in the Westcott hotel
here Ehle was to furnish $4,000
and Cohn and his companion were to
furnish $4,000 each for a stock in
yestment scheme which was to net
them 100 per cent within a few hours
Information concerning the plan tc
fleece" Ehle here first leaked out
through a Fort Wayne bank when
Ehle called there to draw his money
The bank refused TO let him have the
money, but instructed Ehle to return
to Richmond and meet COhn. While
Ehle was coming down on the train
four Fort Wayne detectives drove
down in an automobile.
Started to Run
When COhn entered the WestCotr
hotel and saw Ehle with the detectives
he walked past without recognizing
him, went out the door and started t
run among the automobiles on the
street, lodging between cars with al
the agility of a street urchin. Office
Baetz of the Richmond police force
caught up with him, however, anC
placed him under arrest.
At the police station Cohn talked a!

Barrymore Talks
OF Film Version of
"SherlOck HOlmes''

Sherlock Holmes, that character dear
70 heart Of age and adolescence alike.
will soon be living again on the screen.
But this Sherlock will not be the fam
tastic gumshoe of narcosis. and for
this We have the word Of the actor
who promises to make Sherlock Holmes
live again for US
Il find this picture the most interest
ing have ever made" said Mr.. Barry
more at the studio the other day. "with
the exception, perhaps, Of 'Jekyl and
Hyde There is something about the
character Of Sherlock Holmes that 'in
trgues' me, as some OF the popular
writer's would put it. The conception
Of the part, however, is a purely in
tellectual one. Holmes is purely
static person: by that I mean a char
acter with practically no emotions. 1t
is naturally more difficult to play a
man with no emotions than to plav
a man with emotions, and one must
continually vary the character to make
it interesting. The difference is as
palpable as that between a painting
by Carriere, which is created in a
monotone, or colorful mural by Frank
Brangwyn, for instance.'
will the picture rcvolve about the
character Of Sherlock Holmes ." he was
questioned.
Mr.. Barrymore replied in the mega
are not working to centralze tho char
acter, but TO have q perfect ensemble.
The effect we arc striving to get is
absolute and intimate authenticity and
no acting. To this end we have re-
cruitcd a really remarkable cast. In
fact, we did not start shooting any Of
the scenes until every character, down
to the most unimportant super, was
just right.
"To illustrate, for some Of the scenes
we needed some typical roughnccks. Al
Parker, the director, and went night
after night into the toughest places in
| by the river we talked to over one hun
dred types before VIC got the people we
wanted"
Mr.. Barrymore thinks that ths ap-
peal in the character Of Sherlock
Holmes does not lie in the fact that
he is moved By altogether unselfsh
and altruistic motives, but because he
is a real human being.
'lcrsonally, I don't think the public
cares a rap whether character Is
good, bad or indifferent, 80 long as lie
is natural and on the level. Certainly
there is nothing virtuous about Rich
ard the Third, and yet they liked him.
Just being good is not enough to rec
ommend character and make him
popular. He has to be human as we'll
to make him likablc."
Many Of the sets In "Sherlock
Holmes" have been made after Mr..
Rarrymore'c own designs. Zach scene
is carefully studied, and those which
especially appeal 10 his imagination
are built from original sketches made
by the star.

names for not having anything to say;
but when, on the other hand, I write

again called names. What is a poor
chap to do? In your review Of claw
full Larceny" you, too, called me a few
choice names for attempting to say
something. Common scold' and "h OF

does it make how he delivers it? Think
Of the prophets of old Think Of how

Did their messages, therefore, carry
less weight? BY no means. Do not
