He does not use tobacco: he uses
no coffee or tea: alcohol has never
entered his system in the form of an
intoxicant he eats regularly; he
sleeps regularly; his exercises consist
of walking. long hikes along country
roads being a favOrit, he goes through
setting-up drills; any exercise that
will not tighten or harden the flesh of
his hands is looked upon with favor.
He never. under any circumstances,
dissipates his energies.
He loves golf and baseball. but rare
ly plays them because of the danger of
knotting his fingers. or the muscles of
his hands. In this respect he is I'M
like Schaefer. his conqueror. Schaefer
plays golf whenever the opportunity

To Hoppe more than to any other
man or group of men belongs credit
for establishing billiards as a clean
sport.

mined to exercise this authority
to the full extent. 1t means SIM

dertaking, no matter whether is

gress or not. He will take the
stand that if the Government has
not got the money, then the inn

Despite the fact that the Sen
ate agricultural committee favor
ably reported the bill recently in
troduccd by Senator Gooding, Of
Idaho, which provides for an ap-
preparation of $300,000,000 to be
used to stabilize the price Of
wheat, Congressional leaders feel
certain that the measure has no
chance of passing at this ses-
sion, owing to the Legislative jam.
Many members of the Senate
look upon the Gooding bill as
more radical and Objectionable
than the Norris proposal which
would appropriate $100,0OO,OO0
from the Federal Treasury for
the purchase and sale of farm
products.
The Norris plan provides that
the Government establish a cor
poration to erect grain elevators,
to buy agricultural products and
to act as agent for any person
or cooperative organization deal
ing in agricultural products, to
make loans to any person en-
gagged in the expectation or sale
Of products.
Senator Williams of Mississippi
and other Senators in opposing
the Norris bill claim it is socia-
Ilistic, if not bolshevistic. So bit
ter are they in their opposition
that they have never let it come
before the Senate for considera-
ton. The Gooding bill will more
than likely share the same fate

STATEMENT By George M. Lloyd

I have taken over the Con- nors' interest in thiS business, and as . result Mir Connors has entirely severed his relations and activities with this company.
 In the future only thai which Is good and right will be per- mittcd in this business, whether it be merchandise. advertising, management or our personal thoughts. It will be our desire to develop this store into the kind in which you will enjoy shopping.
 We wish to dispose of every thing quickly, so that we will be enabled to begin fresh with new ideas, new policies, new mer- chandise and inject into the business the experience and training I secured during my twenty-three years association with the John Wanamaker store, Stern Bros.. and Jas McCreery Co.,, three of Amer ica's greatest stores.
 Don't misunderstood me to refer boastfully to these con- nections, rather with humble ness and pride and gratitude for the advantages and benefits Il secured from my work with them. I trust 1t will be the cause of developing n host of friends and customers as long as this store is under the man. agement of Mir. Halloran and myself. Thank youi
New Britain herald., 1923-03-30

We're going to apologize in advance There will be large crowds here when you come in, but don't mind little in- convenience. Please have patience-we will wait on you as quickly as possible. So as to make things easy for you, each section has been arranged with signs. Signs over each will indicate the size ; also each department will be plainly marked. So wait on yourself until one of our men can come to your assistance. Thank you!

CROP
REPORT SHO WS
BIG INCREASE
South End of Valley
Takes Big Lead in
Record ''DeaP'

Report of w. II. Hall, Of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, on the 1928 Imperial
Valley lettuce deal, shows that the
south end of the valley has swung
into the lead in lettuce acreage, sur
passing the northern end by 3,136
acres, and credits the south end
with producing 60 per cent of the
lettuce during the season.
Mr.. Hall was in charge of the
bureau Of markets office establish
ed by the Department of Agricul-
ture in Ell Centre during the lettuce
deal, and his summary of the season
shows that on the whole, the let
tuce crop was exceptionally sue
cessful
New Record Made
The total shipment for the season
amounted to 1926 carloads, against
4.7S7 carloads the previous season.
The average yield this year was 40
crates per acre, compared with l40
crates in the preceding year. The
first shipment of the season was
December 6, and increases were
gradual during January and Feb
ruary. The peak of the season was
reached Marched 8, when 1G4 cars
were shipped, establishing a new
high record for the largest number
of carloads of lettuce ever shipped
from a single state i'll day. There
were nine days in March when ship
ments exceeded 100 cars, and
though it was believed such heavy
shipments would shatter the market,
contrary to expectations it held up
well and there was no damaging
slump.
The season saw the establishment
of "dry car' shipments in large
quantities. Previously "dry car
shipments had been more or less ex-
perimental, but this year it was ex-
tensively adopted, Is percent of the
January and February shipments
being "dry.' In this method of
shipment, no ice is placed in the
bunkers of the refrigerator ears,
and as the difference in transport
alton cost between cars shipped
under standard refrigeration and
ears shipped "dry" is approximate
ly $75 per car on shipments east of
the Mississippi, the method is in
high favor with shippers. The
railroads however have protested
| against this method and the Inter
state Commerce Commission is now
holding hearings on the matter.
Preceding Tested
Another development during tho
season was the shipment of the first
ear of preceded lettuce which wen'
out on March 13, destined for Chi
fcago. Other ears were shipped later
the total for the season being 10 o.
II. The lettuce was preceded il
various ways, the first car being
preceded by immersing the full
! crates in water with a temperature
of 80 degrees, until the temperature
of the lettuce was lowered to thai
| of the water. Sales of this lettuce
| at Chicago ranged about 20 cents
per crate higher than other stock
| and in some cases as high as OF
/ cents.

Sales Force Should Read Daily
Advertisements to Know Goods

This is the third of a series Of ad-
vertising talks by Major William
T. Morgan of the International Cor
respondence Schools. These arti-
cles have been appearing in the
Press from time to time.
The one element in connection
with advertising which is more i'm
portant than any other, is this: The
manner in which the advertising is
merchandised to the company 3 own
sales force, and, in turn, used by the
statesmen in their everyday work
with the retail trade.
Of course, it goes without saying,
that the advertising itself must be
of as high calibre as possible. As
suming that it is all that could be
reasonably desired, copy and art be
yond criticism, the medium IS top
notch in every respect, yet the eff
fectiveness of a campaign will fall
short of what it ought TO be unless
you have the enthusiastic, whole
hearted cooperation of every mem
Der of the sales organization.
If we had to take our choice be-
tween what appeared to be & mum
Der one advertising campaign,
towards which the sales force was
indifferent, or a less pretentious
campaign which had the enthusias-
tic support of the sales force, we
would unhesitatingly choose the lat
ter. One of the greatest problems
connected with advertising is to get
the sales force to read the store s
"ads" and to profit by what goes
into them. This, thousands of sales
people will not do.
1t is safe to say that not one
third of the sales force of any store
habitually and regularly read the
store s advertisements. Unless there
is some method in force which com
pels every member of the sales or
ganization to read the ADVERTISE
ments, and some plan whereby a
check may constantly be made upon
each member of the sales force,
they will not do so.
I recently asked at q morning
meeting of the sales force of a
large department store, attended by
400 employees, including heads Of de
partments, executives, buyers and
others in authority, how many had
