Should Learn to Advertise.

Only one-tenth of the retail store
owners in America, figures based on
government statistics show, know
whether their businesses are making
money or losing it. Fred R. Mann,
Sr., Of Devils Lake, N. D., president
of the North Dakota Retail
Merchants association, said in an
address before the Illinois Retail
Clothieis' association convention in
Chicago.
He advocated better systems in
merchandising, adding that more
money is lost through inefficient
statesmen than through anything
else" He also asked for a more
general recognition of the potency

He declared that the treason why
so many men fail in business is be-
cause they have not learned to ad-
vertise."

That the habit" of the Amer
lean cigarette is not only a grow
ing one but world wide. is evi-
denced by the fact that the total
number of countries to which our
cigarettes were sent in 1922 is ap-
proximately so against 50 in the pre-
war year, 1913. and the value of
the exports to the whole world in
1922 S24,0C0,0O0 against $2,954 600
in 1918.
The total value of cigarettes ex-'
ported from the United States in
the eight years since the Begin
ming of the war is $l65,OO0,0O0
against $22,0O0.000 in the eight
years preceding the war. The to-
bacco habit" seems to have been
greatly stimulated since the be-
ginning of the war period. as the
total value of tobacco in all forms
exported from the United States
in the eight years since 1914 is
$l.325,000000 against about $780,

the sales to that continent have
greatly fallen off since the close
of the war, while those to the
Orient have gone on increasing.
While China is by far the largest
single customer for our cigarettes
at the present time, other Oriental
countries are also increasing their
demands. The Straits Settlements.

parts of the Orient, took in 1922
over a billion of our cigarettes,
and Hong Kong. which sends most
of its imports into China, took
about o00,000,000 in 1922 against
$4,000 in the year preceding the
war. Siam also shows growing
taste for the American cigarette
and our exports to that country
in 1922 are more than double those
of the Immediately preceding year.
India, however. kas materially re-
duced her demand. while Japan is
apparently not addicted to the

extremely small and show little
disposition to increase.

Tickets Going Good
For "The ImpreSariO''

THE very newest method in sue
cesSful business is to take employees
into the confidence of the firm" said
Mrs. Florence Wallace, secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce when
questioned yesterday about how the
tickets are going for The Impress
ario.' And this time it is the pub
lie who are the employees and the
Chamber of Commerce the firm. The
| Chamber of Commerce is trying to
give the public something good for a
modest sum of money and the thing
: is for the public to show it's apprecia-
ton by patronizing the opera. We
are yet several hundred dollars from
meeting our expenses. A good num-
Der of people have engaged tickets
and have had the privilege of check
ing their seats as they purchased.
By Monday every one of those seats
should be paid for so that the COM
mittee will know where we stand
financially. If we are going to meet
our expenses. that is all we ask for.
We do not expect to make money, if
we did we should have asked So and
$3.50 per ticket instead of $3.50 and
$10O.
The Impresario" is delightful
comedy and every artist in the cast
Is worth nearing. Percy ftemuS. the
! leading man, who is a famous actor
and comedian as we'll as a singer, has
a fee of 5000 when he gives con-
cert alone. which gives one an idea
of the grade of the performance. No
doubt there are a lot of people who
intend to go who are late about get
ting their tickets, and of course the
first who come are the best served.
There are dozens of good seats on the
floor now and those who do not take
advantage of the opportunity to at
tend the opera will miss a rare treat

The world will have the Amer
lean cigarette. 1t bought l2,000,-
100000 of them in 1922 against
slightly more than 2,000,000,0O0 in
the year preceding the war, and
the number of countries to which,
they were sent in 1922 is 80 as
against so in 1918. The total value
of the exports of cigarettes in
1922 is approximately S24,00O,O00
against less than 100000 in the
year preceding the war.
Curiously, too this growing de-
mand for our cigarettes comes
chiefly from section far distant
from that in which the war oc-
curred-the Orient. To China
alone the exports of cigarettes i'll
1922 were S,500000,000 against o4l,-
100000 in 1918, and the sum sent to
us in payment therefor from China
alone was Sl7,000,000 against ST.
100000 in 1918.
OF course. there was large ex-
portation of cigarettes to Europe
during the war period. especially
to France, Belgium and Italy, but

Cony Girls Win
Over Waterville
In Fast Game, 1910
Especial to kennebcc Journal)


Waterville, Feb. "9-In one Of the
fastest and cleanest girls games play
cd on the Waterville floor this year. the
girls Of Cony High took the lead in
the last five minutes of play and, ex-
cept for brief minute when MacPhee
put Watcrville ahead, kept the heavy
end of 1910 score. The last period
was full of thrills. Waterville took
the floor with the heavy end of an SO
score. Simpson. the fashy Cony for
ward. tried for two fouls but both shots
went wild. However, she made up for
that by caging three pretty shots in as
many minutes. putting Cony in the
lead 9-S. LaChance failed to add
point for'thc locals on a foul, but mo-
mcnt later MacPhce Melted the ball and
gave the Purple a one-point lead for
few seconds. Simpson evcned the
score by foul shot and the Cony
crowd went wild. Hussey Gagged the
! last basket for Cony. on a double foul
both Simpson and MacPhcc failed to
score and the whistle ended the game
with the Augusta girls victorious
Inc Cony team seemed to lack the
punch in the first two periods and the
local girls looked like sure victors. The
WaterVllle girls were fighting for their
, string OF undefeated games. Water
vile made an error of placing two
subs in the last period, but when the
danger was realized the regulars were
rushed back in. but to no avail
The first period was holly contested,
both teams securing one basket, but
the Cony counter chalked up only one
point as it was shot From behind Simp-
sons head. The Augusta girls scored
first. The Watcrville girls came back
strong in the second period and rushed
the bail into the ConY section of the
court. Lachance nettcd the ball twice
in rapid succession and was followed
~ a long shot by MacPhce. Early in
the period Simpson cvencd the score.
but the downriver girls could not keep
the fast pace ana fell behind.
Conys marvellous comeback in the
last stage took the Purple lassies off
their feet The last five minutes of
play was of the most strenuous, with
the rootcrs of both teams making
themselves hoarse. The game was re-
markably clean throughout, which was
commented on because of the intense
rivalry between the schools. Simpson
and Hussey We're the high lights for
the Capital City girls. Macphee and
