much"ice in the winter as he does in Athe summer. Moreover, the proprie- tor. does not cut any meat himself. Mornings he usually is found in the store, but afternoons he is usually out automobiling. He has a bookkeeper who keeps the accounts, a big cash register, two clerks, and man who runs the delivery automobile. Owing to possible breakdowns he has two automobiles. Not only is everything run on much more expensive basis but the clerks don't do more than a half days work. They see the pro- prietor loafing and they loaf them selves. None of them have any inter est in the business and each one is possible.

"The fundamental question

"The fundamental question k
 whether or. not this store is selling
 any more pounds of beef and provis'
 ions than it did 20 years ago. I know
 the rent has doubled and other ex.
 penses have tripled and quadrupled
 but I seriously doubt if this store is
 selling any more goods. Gloucester
 hasn't as much population as it had 20 years ago, and there are more but cher shops. It is probably true that people are eating more meat per capi- ta now than in those days, but I am very sure that the output of this shop is no greater than it was 20. years ago. Today, however, when one of the neighbors wants steak she no longer sends her boy to get it Che is probab- ly busy playing football or practicing for high school Minstrel Show or perhaps he is at the movies). Today the mother telephones to the butcher shop, the bookkeeper enter the order on an elaborate filing system, this in turn is given to one of the clerks who cuts the meat. The meat is then wrapped in two or three pieces of paper, put in a special basket and de- livered by an auto truck, costing two to three thousand dollars. Moreover, the meat is charged to be billed at the end of the month and paid for when, and if money is available.
 "As a result, people today, under these conditions must pay doubles or triple for their meat compared with what they paid 20 years ago. The truth is that today everyone from the boy of the home to the proprietor himself, is lazy.
 No one wants to do anything him. self which he can possibly avoid. Everyone is trying to spend as much of his time as he can on amusements, automobiling and movies. Telephones high schools, and credit systems are wonderful inventions; but they all tend to increase the cost of distribu- tion. The retailer is up against fash ions and customs which have bound him with ropes that are almost too strong to break. What the future will bring forth do not know. It, how ever, is evident that the retailer is not to blame for present conditions. You and I, as fathers and mothers, are to blame. Our high schools are to blame. Retail prices can be reduc- ed only as the spirit of work, thrift and usefulness again prevades the community.
 "To meet this abnormal condition and the resulting high cost of living" concluded MT. Babson, "the chain store and the mail order house with their centralized buying and cash and carry system is rapidly invading every shopping center in the country, togeth- CT with some department stores who are now following scientific mer- chandizing policy. The soundness of this principle and the need fost sGch a service is reflected in the fact that. Woolworth, Kresge, Kress, ,'Tnited Re- tail Stores, Butler Brothers, and Sears Roebuck are among the strong issues

 General business has maintained the gain made week ago according to the index of the Babsonchart andsis running at 15 per cent below normal.

SEEK WOMAN AS LINK
IN MANS DISAPPEARANCE
Clues In Hansen Mystery Point to
Annie e. Huntlnoton

Chester police are endeavoring tt
find Annie Il. Huntington, believed tC
live In Salisbury, Nd, whom they sus
pect knows something about Henry J
Hansen. who disappeared mysteriOusly
from his boarding house in Chester
February Is.
According to a story told the police
the woman was in love with Hansen
and tried to kill herself last fall after
misunderstanding with him. 1t Is
said she left Chester Immediately after.
ward for Salisbury.
Hansen left the boarding house of
Mrs. John Phillips without saying
where he was going and after paying
his bills, including $11OO on a new
$1,000 automobile, which he left behind
together with his personal effects.
The police are also looking for man,
unknown in Chester, who was seen with
Hansen just before he disappeared. 1t
Is said that the man was also on friend
ly terms with the Huntington woman.
Letters were found in Hansen 8 trunk
at 424 East Fourth street. warning
him about woman. The letters were
from his sister. and police regard as
significant the fact that these letters
stopped abruptly as soon as Hansen
had disappeared.
Mrs. Phillips did not report the dis.
appearance of Hansen to the police un-
til yesterday. When a search of his
trunk was made many valuable per-
sonal belongings were found together
with will which directed that his
estate be given to his wife.
