If we could travel around the

II you were in China you might
think that the Chinese were cele-
brating all their holidays for the
year at once, for they close their
shops for several days while they
make merry with feasts and fire
works and the general exchange of
gifts and good wishes. In prepare
ton every debt must have been
paid, every house swept and cleaned,
and each person furnished with holt
day clothes and a supply Of preserved
fruits, candies and ornamental pack
ages of tea to give to his ac-
quaintances.
Il Japanese Are Gay
The Japanese New Year festival
is perhaps even gayer. No matter
how poor he may be, every one pro-
vides himself with shining new
clothes and takes three days off from
work to visit his friends or entertain
them at his home. Every gatepost
is adorned with dark green pines
and feathery light green bamboos.
while over the doorways hang vivid
red Holsters and crabs, and scarlet
tangerine-like fruits, symbolic Of
long life and happiness. The streets
are thronged with happy children
playing battledore and shuttlecock
the whole day long, and every one
beams with joy, bowling and wish
ing the compliments Of the season,
aAen to perfect strangers.

NO AUTHENTIc wORD.

NEW YORK, May 13.-Despite stat

have been sent form the Norge, no
authentic word had been received up
until midnight tonight by the New

Democrat from the Amundsen-Ells

The continued silence of the Norge

the New York Times pointed out. The
expedition may have stopped to circle
over the unexplored region; the radio
apparatus may have become inactive,
or the wall of the static may have
enveloped her without a single loop.
hole Amundsen did not plan a
straight course across the unknown
region, if evidence of land warranted
exploration cruises. Had the Norge
kept up it's rate of speed in a straight
course for Nome after crossing the
pole, it would have arrived there about
$3.50 p. m. Wednesday night (New
York daylight saving time).
Radio stations in Alaska continued
tonight to call the Norge but the ST
lence was unbroken.

sighted off Point Barrow at o'clock

Man Who Made "A Suicide
Pact With Wife, Lost His 4
Nerve, Then RegGined 1t
(By Dispatch "a P. wirs)

GAIT, Calf, May 13.-The story of
a suicide pact between man and wife
and of how the husband lost his nerve
and failed for five days to carry out
his part of the bargain and lived in
the house with his dead wife, even
sleeping beside the body, and then
finally winning his fight over fear
and taking his own life was revealed
here today by county officers.
The crumpled form of Schuler Low
ett 36 years. old, prominent poultry
man, propped in chair in the kitch-
en- of his home, gun clutched in his
hand was discovered by a neighbor.
In the bedroom of their small ranch
house his wife, Mrs. Ila Lovett, 20
years old, was found lying in bed,
as if asleep. she was dead, a bullet
wound in the back of her head. Dep
uty Coroner Tohmas Dorney and Dep
uty Sheriff Harry Murphy, who in
vestigated, believed the couple be-
came despondent over business trou-
bles and rather than face the world
preferred to die together.
Gait citizens report having seen
Lovett on the streets Saturday, May
s, and because of the condition of
both bodies the officers are of the.
opinion that five days elapsed be-
tween the shootings.
Their theory is that after the agree
ment between husband and wife had
been made, Lovett, not informing his
wife of the time he intended to- carry
out the pact, shot her through the
head without warning on the night of
May 8.
Lovett, it is believed, lost heart and
became afraid to follow her to the
grave.
He is thought to have fought with
himself for five days during which
he, lived in the same house with his
dead wife. There is evidence that he
slept beside her.

Thousands of dollars must be spent
in bringing in first customers but
advertising would be too expensive if
customers came only once. Adyer-
tising does, not create good will, but
it creates an opportunity for good
will through service. A firms good
will is measured by the number of its
customers who came yesterday and
will come again today and tomorrow.
The advantage is always with the
tradesman who can take for granted
the return of the old customers.
Trickery in trade belongs to the age
of barter and has no place in the
modern merchandising plan. The mer-
chant who cannot put himself in the
place of the man on the other side of
the counter, and place his knowledge
of values at the customers disposal
is taking an unnecessary business
risk.
