RE FAIR TO MERCHANTS

THE merchants OF KennewlcK
y have cooperated to make pos
sible the showing of the special
farm market train here Saturday.
They have contributed financially
to provide the free lunch at noon
and to take care of other details IN
connection with the big agricul-
tural community holiday. They
will close their stores from 9:45
o'clock in the morning until 1 o.
clock in the afternoon so that they
and the people who work for them
may participate in this event.
The merchants have arranged
special displays and tempting bar
gains for this day, news of which
will be found elsewhere in the
Courier-Reporter. They are at
tempting to give service in their
stores to the vast crowds of people
who undoubtedly will combine Sat-
urday shopping with viewing the
market train. However, everyone
should remember that the stores
will be closed for the morning
hours and should not expect any
service of the merchants during
this period.

GO ON TO SCHOOL

ONCE again the period of COM
" mencement is here. This week
most of the schools of the county
are holding their graduation ex-
ercises. A goodly number of stud
ents will be graduated from grade
and high schools in both the towns
and in the country.
Commencement marks mile
stone in the education of the indi-
vidual. 1t is the definite result of
specific scholastic achievement. 1t
is, however, only beginning in
the education of the individual.
Every student who receives a
diploma this week should be urged
to continue his schooling if it is
at all possible. There was time
when young man or woman who
possessed college education stood
out as marked person in his
community with certain specific
advantages. Today, the condition
is such that most young men or
women who do not get college ed
ucation are handicapped.
However, education cannot be
measured by degrees. It depends
upon the application of the indi-
vidual himself. If one is graduated
from any institution of higher
education with the realization that
one will lead a fuller and completel
life because of his education, Their
it will be worthwhile. Education
should teach one how to enjoy the
capacities that are within oneself
to great extent.
This may be accomplished with
out the aid of schools. But it takes
a vast amount of perseverance
on the part of the individual.

newspapers used to be SO well
filled. However, this particular
article seemed worth reprinting.
He says further:
In most cities out of town mer-
chants conduct direct house to
house canvass for business. Silk
stockings and kitchen cabinets
brushes and vacuum cleaners
kitchen utensils and rug statesmen
sell the housewife. They tell hel
they have not the high rents OF
the big advertising appropriations
of the local merchants. They have
no overhead expense in the city
and can undersell the local dealer
Our women should be educated
to ask the statesmen a few ques-
lions; how much does the firm he
represents pay towards the local
fire department which saves her
home when it catches fire? How
much taxes does his firm pay to-
wards the maintenance of the po-
lice department which watches her
home in the small hours, enabling
her to sleep comfortably, and the
members of which pilot her child
rem across the traffic crowded
streets on their way to school !?
How much does the distant firm
pay for the maintenance of the
streets and parks which make the
town so much more desirable place
in which to live? How much do
these out-of-towners pay toward
the Scout work, the playfields, the
marketing trains, the hundred and
one civic endeavors which the To-
cal merchant has hand in?
All these institutions are main
tanned by the taxes or contributions
of local business and professional
men. The out of town firm with
it's town agent does nothing to-
ward them.

are more fair then men. They will

BOSTON, October 31.-New dress
creations in the "cottons of 1880" will
bedeck fair feminine creatures down to
their very toes.
Evening gowns, sports wear, morning
and afternoon dresses and pajama
loungjng suits were exhibited by Junior
League girls and subdebutantes at a
fashion show for the convention o: the
National Association Of Cotton Manu-
facturers last night. Gaping every
thing else in the display, however, or
rather nNI.ng 1t, was a new experiment
of the industry.
Striking new effects with cotton net
and velveteen were shown. The adapta-
bility of velveteen was demonstrated in
an ensemble including jacket Of green
hollow-cut velveteen with skirt of the
same material, a red velveteen coat with
fur trimmings and an orange and black
check velveteen raincoat
The new fabrics designed for next
season will probably be best known for
cording to Susan Bates, fashion au-
thority of the Cotton Textile institute.
In referring to the new silhouette
during her introduction CT the various
models, Katrine Hooper, style adviser
to the National Association, said that
a fashion that comes slowly comes
more surely and lasts longer Every
woman knows" she continued, that if
she gives in completely to the new sill
houette she will have to discard her
whole wardrobe, which is something
very few can or want to do"

TUNNEy CHANGES
ANSWER 10 SUIT
Promoters Claims Attacked
by Retired Heavyweight
Champion.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 31.-Gene Tun-
ney, retired heavyweight champion,
filed an application in Supreme Court
Yesterday to amend his answer to the
suit of Tim Mara, New - sports
promoter. Mara seeks $405, 900 of the
lighters ring earnings under an agree
nenI signed prior to Tunney's first
bout VIC. Sack Dempsey in Philadelphia
IA 1926.
The amended answer, signed by
Slnney's attorneys, admitted that he
entered into a contract whereby Mara
vas to receive 10 per cent of the purse
sor the Dempsey match and Is per
cent of his subsequent earnings, pro-
fided that Tunney won the champion
chip. Mara, in return, was to obtain
the title bout for Tunney in New York.
Violation Alleged.
Although Tunney won the title in the
Philadelphia bout, Mara alleges that he
aas failed, along with his manager, Bill
Gibson, codefendant in the suit, to
honor that agreement. Tunney now is
al Europe
The new ansSef declared that any
agreements with Mara were null and
void because the sportsman threatened
to use political influence to prevent the
bout in New York If Tunney and Glib
son did not sign. It was further pointed
out that the bout gsS not held in New
H,.rk. as agreed, and tnHS Mara did
noL hid the licenses in New York safe
and Pennsylvania necessary to assist
in the promotion of boxing bouts.
New York Preferred.
Tunney's answer said he wished to
fight in New York State, because he
could win the decision and get the
championship If he outboxed the then
champion, Jack Dempsey, without
knocking out said Dempsey during said
contest"
Mara represented, the answer de-
clared. that he could remove all
obstacles in the way of New York
bout without any compensation" but
later demanded the percentages for this
service.
