able as syst to discover any property
held by Chaplin as an individual with
which to meet the courts orders. They
asked for a continuance until next

Gated, they will attempt to prove that
Chaplin Studios, Inc, and the Chaplin
Film company, are one-msn corpora
tions. -
In the event they succeed in this,
Mrs. Chaplin's attorneys said they
would ask that the payments be met
with the corporations funds. In her

LOCAL CHAMBER
HEARS TALK ON
STORE METHODS
Business Expert Gives
Splendid Address To
Ell CentrO Merchants.

Urging that any merchants who
are keeping a store make the
store keep them instead, through
systematic planning Of their bnsi.
ness toward a definite quota of
sales, +. j. Nichols of Dayton. Ohio,
gave an interesting talk before the
FL Centre Chamber of Commerce
at the Wilson school last night.
The speaker, known widely as 4
merchandising student and authori-
" on retailing, is director of the
Merchants Service Bureau, which
is maintained by The National Cash
Register Company at Dayton for the
benefit Of merchants
You wouldn t think of making
train trip from here to New York
without knowing when the train
leaves, what its schedule, might be-
and what connections it makes, -
the speaker said. "You wouldn t
dream of riding on train with an
engineer who hadn't the slightest
idea how to get to his destination. ;"
Yet some business men start off
the new year, the new month or
the new week. without a thought of
the amount of business they expect
to do during the year, month or
week. They operate without ade-
quate store records, adequate adver-
tising, and adequate stock. In this
long train-trip of business, there is
need for lot of planning ahead. -
Efficient Operation Necessary
Touching on store methods. the
speaker said:
Efficiently operated stores are
gradually pushing out the old type
of store operated on the same prin-
ciple of the general merchandising
store of years ago. Retailing mer-
chandising is now on a higher
plane--a new standard of business
has been created.
Today. business conditions have
become a local issue. If such a de-
cline in stocks as that which occur
red some time ago in Wall street,
had happened a few years ago, the
whole business world would have
been shaken. As it was, the ordin-
airy man in the street hardly knew
there had been anything happening
in the stock market, and what did
happen didn't affect him.
every community is making its
own business. For how much better
business are you going to be respon-
sible for in FL Centro during the
next year, the next month and the
next week -

A. Lindbergh airman hero, when
he docks June II aboard the fast
cruiser Memphis.
President Coolidge announced to-
day the youthful flyer, honored by
kings and commoners abroad, had
accepted an invitation to sail aboard
the Memphis from Europe and to
steam up the Potomac to receive a
nations plaudits through the pres
ident, cabinet Officers, soldiers,
sailors and citizenrv
The shift from plans to bring him
home aboard the destroyer Breck
came after Lindbergh in London
had received from the president s
special cabinet reception committee
an invitation to make Washington
his first port of call. It was really
the presidents own Invitations
bid equivalent to a royal command
When the Memphis sails or from
what port was not made clear in
the presidential announcement
In accepting the presidential in
vitation, Lindbergh disappoints the
Metropolis of New York, which had
planned to herald him with unusual
honors.
But President Coolidge, anxious
to honor the daring New York Paris
flier, had set his heart on seeing
Lindbergh before starting westward
on his Black Hills summer vacation.
To do this, the Memphis was
called into action. 1t can land him
here June II, two days ahead of
the president s scheduled departure.
Lindbergh will be guest of the
president and through him, of ma
tion proud of his air exploits.

Roads and up the Potomac, to dock
here.
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur con-
suited President Coolidge after the
announcement and later told the
press everything would be done to
get Lindbergh into Washington on
Saturday morning, the 1lth, so the
celebration could be accomplished
that day.
The three press associations will
be permitted one representative
