= Everything was in fact going along merrily until late in the night of the opening session. John Wadhams had been eliminated within the last few hours as a gubernatoria1 candidate but just how the screws were put on wasn't disclosed to the delegates. Many of them were openly dissatisfied but on the advice of the party bosses that 1t was for the sake of the party and that they couldn't afford fight in Con necticut this year, Wadhams sup porters agreed to be good and every thing looked bright for the party, Bingham and Yale and perhaps for Connecticut. ,
 Merritt's speech had nicely covered up the defa1cations at Washington and the committees retired hopeful they would have nothing to do but look wise for time and then come in with the usual routine buster.
 But alas and alack, the committee hadn't gotten through smacHng its lips of the refreshments served in some rooms at the Taft, when Mrs. Henry. H. Townshend of New Haven, and one of the most active republican women in the state, demure1y offered resolution for consideration as follows:
 Believing firmly in the principles of equality granted to all persons by the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of this state irrespec- tive of creed or color, and believing that any attempt to abridge any priv ileges granted to the citizens of the United Staets by the constitution of the United States or by the constitu- ton of this state because of the re- ligious faith, race or color of any per son Is un-American, and contrary to the true spirit Of the institutions Of this country, we strongly denounce any organization by whatever name 1t be called, whether 1t be Ku Klux K1an or otherwise, which attempts to abridge make faith, creed or color standard for preferment in public office"
 Mrs. Townshend stated that she was a great, great granddaughter of Israel Putnam and that she wished to de- nounce the whole attitude of the Klan as un-American.
 That threw the committee into an uproar Klan supporters charging that 1t was an attempt to inject something into the convention destined to start a fight to disrupt the party. Anti Manners declared 1t just what 1t was, a denunciation of the n-Americanism of the Klan, and stood behind it. Mrs. Townshend declared that if the com (Continued on Page Eight)

That Labor Day party held by Presi- dent Coolidge with number of reput- ed Labor Leaders at which he expressed his faith in Organized Labor wasn't a Labor party at all according to LA BOR, the official publication of the Railroad Brotherhoods published Tn Washington and which in its issue of the current week was the following to say of the party" "STORY OF COOLIDG'S LABOR DAY PARITY Small Group of Trades Unionists, the
 Majority from one Organization Induced to Act as Audience for President-Visitors' Expenses Taken Care of.
 One of the "rawest" political fakes ever attempted in a presidential cam paign was staged in Washington on Labor Day. It was engineered by T. V. O'Connor, former president of the International Longshoremen's Associa- ton and now chairman of the United States Shipping Board, with the coop eration and full approval of President Coolidge.
 Early last week information reached the office of LABOR that Mr. O'Con- nor was making reservations at one of the leading Washington hotels for a group of labor leaders," who would come into Washington on Labor Day. Soon afterward the White House gave out a statement that the President | would receive a delegation of labor | leaders" and would take advantage of the occasion to expound his views on matters of peculiar interest to the | workers.
 Every effort was made to make it ap- pear that the pilgrimage" by the ''la- l bor leaders" was a spontaneous affair and that the men who made up the party were leading figures in the Ameri- can labor movement
 No reference was made to the fact that all the visitors expenses, includ- being taken care of by President Coolldge's supporters.
 When asked by representatives oi press information as to who was foot ing the bill, MT. O'Connor showed q disposition to lose his temper
 Under persistent questioning he final ly admitted that he had paid the bill: of "some" of the visitors. How man, he would not say.
 "They are friends of rnine," said the chief of the Shipping Board. Haven 1 the right to entertain them?"
 Rumor had it that Mir. O'Conno- would be reimbursed by the Republican national committee. This was vigor ously denied
 Later 1t was learned on what scene, good auth ority that those of the visitor who were in the Government payrol

What a Merchant
 Learned from His
 7 Union Painter

Talking to his union painter, the other day, MT. B. J. Abrams of The Model Clothing Stores in New Haven and Hartford, inquired as to what prompts the selection of apparel to the union man. The painter said : Show him Unfortunate Clothes-don't paint them too high. Just pretty enamel surface won't do-the construc- ton must be right. Give him merely his moneys worth-and he'll place confidence in you" Maybe that's why we have 368 painters on our weekly payment books.

the reputation of the manufacturers
and all the dealers. People are
learning more and more the advant-
ages of buying the nationally adver-
tised goods, those that are seen In
both the magazines and the news
papers. 1t used to be supposed that
the cost of advertising was added to
the original cost of the goods. and
perhaps it was, but men have turned
their attention to volume production,
volume packing, volume in shipping
and distribution and selling, and
have broken all the old records and
cut costs wonderfully. Perhaps the
best example of it is the Ford
methods that keep producing better
cars at lower costs and all the time
enlarging their plants and further
reducing costs. We are publishing
some Ford stories in this paper that
are very enlightening and furnish
practical ideas that others can apply
to their own affairs.
This is a subject which Bingham
county people might do we'll to study,
and see how it looks when they make
comparison of goods and costs
when they deal with advertisers and
non-advertisers; 1t is one of the big
transformations of the age in which
we live.
Another thing that fits in with adj
vertising is to place goods on display
In such a manner that the customer
can make selections at glance with
out the aid of salesman to uncover
or unbox or unpack or get it down
where it can be examined or to get
out the different kinds for COMPARE
son, and then put all the unsold ones
back. When you enter store where
goods have to be handled to allow you
to see and select, just notice how
much of wasted labor is bestowed, or
how little, in order to give you full
opportunity to select. When you OBJ
serve whether they are well adver-
tised goods and whether they are
we'll displayed or hidedn and require
much handling, you will know at
once whether this dealer can afford
to make close prices and stay in bust
ness with good stock of goods. The
past few years have made sweeping
changes and the end is not yet.

only railing at themselves, for with
the jury sistem, the people have the
final decision. People of Bingham
county are now condemning the
judiciary of Ada county, but it was
ali left to jury of the people.
But these are only local matters
the principle will be the same in
questions of national scope that are
now vexing the nation. The national
prohibition act is being defied by so
large percentage of the people and
so persistently, it has become a very
grave question whether it may not
be given up in failure. This and
some social and moral questions run
ming parallel with it, will probably
never go back to the old status, but
some new avenues of escape will be
diligently sought for by more people
than have ever yet been lined up -on
either side of the questions.

A NEW DAILY DOZEN

The need of physical exercise by
those who are not able to get out into
the open is met in many instances by
prescribed home calisthenics, says
the Elks magazine. There are a
number of broadly advertised courses
of such exercises. The name of one
of the most popular of these-"The
Daily Dozen"-has become almost a
slang expression of the day.
The physical benefit derived from
such exercises, regularly practiced,
is universally conceded. And it
prompts the suggestion that a similar
plan might we'll be devised to
and spiritual being. What wonder
full benefit would follow from the
faithful performance of the following
Daily Dozen" for which originality
is not claimed, but to which a hearty
approval is hereby accorded;
1. A little palience-at least once.
2. A minute of unselfishness.
3. A kind word or two or three.
4. A bit of self control-some-
where.
5. A flash of generosity.
6. A prompt excuse-fOr someone
else.
Z. A noble thought-perhaps a
text recalled.
8. A good deed-not left undone.
g.. A brief prayer-for friend in
trouble.
10. A moment of thankfulness-
for blessings enjoyed.
IL. A kindly smile-where it may
brighten another.
IL. "A snatch of a song-or hum
of a tune.

COMPARING OURS
WITH BOSTON

An association of business men in
Boston known as the Better Bust
mes Commission" has been making a
survey of conditions to find out
whether or not people are being
treated right by the merchants,
whether they are truthful or tricky
in their advertising, and whether
they are good about correcting mis-
takes and making things satisfactory
when something happens that does
not suit the customer. Similar sur
veys have been made in many other
cities and reports made to the ma
tional association, and Boston boasts
of heading the list for honest adj
vertising
The commission sent out buyers to
make purchase of 1000 articles
from merchants, who advertise and
from those who do not, and found
that 95 per cent of the purchases
saved money buying advertised
goods, the reasons being that it
takes less time to wait on a Gus
toner when he has read a truthful
description of the goods, and that
saves some on sales costs; it allows
salesman to wait on more custom

store when people enter, get what
they want and step aside for others;
it enables the merchant to increase
the volume of his business, to put
in seasonable goods in quantity and
pass them on to the consumers
promptly; advertised goods must be
as represented and guaranteed and
the public know it, so they do not
need to scrutinize each article for
flaws. 1t is far cheaper to have the
printed page tell the important facts
to all the public than to hire sales
people to stand around and tell
people one at time, and it saves the
peoples time. They read up on adj
vertised goods while they are rest
ing, and then buy them when time is
precious and where space is precious.
Goods that are advertised ma
tionally are bought and sold on their
name, the brand, and back of it is

East Vassalboro. May I-Tuesday
evening about 8 o'clock fire broke
out in the building formerly used as
a slaughter house in the rear of the
buildings of Z. NJ. Jordan. Maurice
Robbins lost $500 worth OF pork Mr..
Jordan was partially covered by in
surance.
The building had been used dur
ing the day by parties 10 dress pigs
and il is thought the fire originated
from the chimney.
The alarm was-euickly given, but
so rapidly did the flames spread that
the building was soon enVeloped in
flames. A hydrant opposite the
house was soon filled with hose, and
applied to the buring building. The
close proximity of the other build
ings made it seem impossible at one
time to save them, The large crowd
which gathered worked with almost
superhuman efforts and as the fire
caught in other places, it was as
quickly extinguished.
The building holding Mr.. Jordan's
incubator caught several times. as
well as nearby brooder houses.
There was no wind and the flames
leaped skyward and were seen for
miles around.
