Prompt Delivery Often as I'M

Just as independent retail grocers
of today are turning to service to off
set the advantages gained by cash-and-
carry chain stores the printer of to-
morrow must turn to service as well
as quality to hold his established trade
in the opinion of many.

BUSINES IS BARS
NOT EFFECTIVE
Conditions in Office Supply Line
Convince Hitler 1922 Is
Good Year.

With all the disturbances to which
industrial America is subject today
business FORCES right ahead, accord
ing to r. c. Hitler, head of the Hitler
ONCE Supply Company.
Mr.. Hitler said his conclusions are
based upon observations in his own
business, which is an excellent barom-
eter. Just let business fall off and
factories and business houses begin
to cut down on their purchases of
filing devices and office equipment of
various other kinds. With improved
conditions up goes the demand for our
products.
THE steady call for office equip
ment convinces one our business sit
uation is sound, in spite OF the hard
knocks it is being subjected to. We
should find we have enjoyed good
business year in 1922, when the re-
suits are posted. Demand for filing
devices and loose-leaf equipment has
shown a decided increase and this in
dicates to my mind that business
houses are in the first phase Of ac-
tual return to business on a normal
scale.
'Office equipment prices have
shown almost no change recently, CON
vincing me the low level in our line
has been reached at last. There has
been some stiffening of the market in
some cases and it has been difficult to
obtain some merchandise. OF course,
this means but one thing, that the
demand for them Is steadily in
creasing.
During the last few years the
legitimate dealer has come into his
own, and has established a place for
himself which he we'll deserves. BY
the word legitimate I mean supply

after all. the best values and the best
results are obtained through dealing

feel that it is the most complete and

PUBLIC DEMANDS
CLEAN SODA SHOP
Propaganda for Sanitation
Bears Fruit, Says WaIrus
Fountain Dealer.

Public acceptance of and demand for
paper cups, towels, spoons, dishes,
napkins and similar articles has be-
come so universal it is hard for manu-
facturers and dealers to meet, said J.
r. Sentney, 222 South Meridian ST.,
local distributor for Walrus soda foun-
tains and various kinds of sanitary
equipment.
The constant propaganda of health
authorities for better sanitation in
every direction is bearing fruit in a
public state of mind which will not
accept many insanitary practices
which only a few years ago were con-
sidered the common order of things.
For years l have noticed that if the
public demands anything with suffi-
cient intensity and persistence it will
get it," said Mr. Sentney. LESS than
generation ago the public knew of
no soda fountain equipment other than
the ornate, crude, unsatisfactory
equipment of that day, a type which
would not be permitted by health au-
thorities now. These old fountains
were dirty for the very simple reason
their construction invited dirt to ac-
cumulate. AS a matter OF fact they
actually constituted, in many In
stances, a menace to public health.
Then came a period OF develop
ment and improvement which
reached a climax in the perfection of
the Walrus fountain, the only leak
proof fountain on the market so far
as l can determine. 1t has many i'm
provements over other and less scier-
tifically designed makes. For in
stance all plumbing is connected
when the fountain is delivered, which
makes it unnecessary to hire
plumber. as usually is the case. This
saves the purchaser lot OF money in
some instances and assures him the
work will be done by the highest
grade OF experts.
The one.piece drainboard of the
Walrus. which makes 1t impossible
for dirt to collect in cracks. there be-
ing none. is another splendid and eff
fective feature OF the Walrus. This
board is built like a cord tire. layer
upon layer of material cernented to.
gether In such a way as TO make 1t
leak proof and free from possibility of
warping.
THE Walrus has so per cent more
refrigeration than usually is found,
minimum Of Ice being required to
keep it cold. Sliding doors on ice
cream compartments save time and
are much more convenient than lifting
lids. This feature is patented.
Just as it demands sanitary paper
receptacles the public indorses the
modern sanitary fountain by patroniz-
ing them In increasing numbers"

In six Of the eight largest cities in
Kentucky the death rate in 1921 was
lower than in 1920, according to fig
ures compiled by the American Child
Hygiene Association and made pub
lie this week by the State Board of
Health.
The six cities IN which there was
reduction in the death rate are
Covington, where the rate fell from
1872 to 1873; Lexington, from 22.S TO
20.6; Louisville, 1872 to 1876; New
port, lib to 80; Owensboro, 21.O to
17.S. and Paducah, 1873 to 1877. The
two cities that had a higher death
rate in 1921 than in 1920 we're Ash
land. where the rate rose from 1871
to 161. and Henderson, with a rise
from 14.5 to ISL.
All these cities with the exception
of Newport show percentage i'm
provement in the death rate for the
twelve-year period since 1910 The
percentages are: Ashland, 69.5; Gov
ington, 70; Henderson, SO; Lexing-
ton, 1885, Louisville, 49, Owensboro,
S.S, and Paducah, 81. The death rate
in Newport in 1922 was 3.3 higher
than in 1910.
In all of these cities with the ex-
ception of Ashland, where no figures
were available until 1920, there also
was a reduction in infant mortality
between 1917 and 1921. In Coving
ton the infant mortality rate fell
from 100 average for the four-yeai
period to 81 in 1922; in Henderson,
from 101 to 9S; in Lexington, from
113 to 68; in Louisville, from SO to

Chronological reports on certain Sec

THE CrEsAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILWAY COMPANY


On June 27. 1922. i is
sued a circular letter ITO

which / stated that the
newspapers carried, as a
news item, the information
that certain classes Of our
employees had been request
ed to vote on the question
of whether or not they
would accept certain rul-
ings handed down by the
United States Railroad La
Dor Board. 1t was shown in
that letter that the rulings
which were questioned had
been made by the Labor
Board after exhaustive in
vestigation, and due and
careful consideration. 1t
was also pointed out that
this railroad had, without
question, obeyed and put
into effect all the rulings of
the Labor Board, including
increases in rates of pay and
that it was impossible for it
to do anything other than
to put into effect the disput-
ed rulings as they had been
formulated and handed
down by a duly constituted
government authority-the

Dor Board, acting within its
authority.

cHILDREN's HOME SOCIETY
BUILDING A NEW HOME

The Kentucky Children's Home
Society, largely through the aid of
the school children of Kentucky, is
building a splendid new home in the
country near Louisville. This home
is replacing the old crowded build
ings on Baxter avenue in the city,
where for many years the destitute
children of the state found refuge.
The society plans to erect a village
of cottages, where at least 800 chill
dren may be accommodated, so that
no little waif in Kentucky will be
refused a comfortable home. How
ever, the building has been halted
now because of lack of funds.
A representative of the society has
been in Mt Sterling this week to en-
list the aid of the teachers at the
summer school in raising funds with
which to erect a boys cottage this
fall. Each teacher has been asked
to give an entertainment or other
wise raise money in her school as
soon as possible for the benefit of
the Kentucky Childrens Home Soci-
ETY. building fund. The society is
very anxious to build a cottage for
the boys next, as they are now liv-
ig in temporary barracks" until
better home can be provided.
The new home is on a farm of Sc
acres near Lyndon and adjoins the
Kentucky Military Institute grounds.
Fruits and vegetables are raised and
in the near future the society plans
to have dairy, pigs and chickens so
that the children may enjoy real
country life. Two buildings have been
completed, a four-unit cottage for the
girls and an administration building,
part of which is being used as a
school
The purpose of the Kentucky Chill
dren's Home Society is to provide
good Christian homes for the neglect
ed, mistreated and homeless waits of
Kentucky who without its aid would
grow up in poverty, ignorance and
suffering. The children are all com
mitted there by the county judges
throughout the state. Fifty-eight
children from Montgomery county
have been cared for by the institu-
tion. The children are placed in
comfortable homes in every part of
the state, where they are treated as
member of the family, sent to
school and given religious instruc-
tion. They are regularly visited and
carefully supervised by agents of the
society until they become OF age, un-
less they are legally adopted. About
5000 children have been given good
homes through the institution and
there are about 140 children at the
receiving home now.
The new home has been dedicated
to the school children of Kentucky.
Il is a gift from the boys and girls
OF our state who have good homes
and kind parents TO their unfortunte
brothers and sisters who have none
of these good things of life The cit
izens of Montgomery county are urg-
ed to do all in their power to help
the schools in their great undertak-
ing and to make it possible for the
boys at Kentucky Children's Home
to have a comfortable place in which
TO live before next winter.
