Every year prior to the opening of the Hender-
son Tobacco Market, local merchants are greet
ed with smiling faces and open palms by repre-
sentatiVes of state newspapers, who have come
to help them advertise their business and to re-
leve them Of as many of their adVertis-
ing dollars as possible.
In buying advertising space in newspapers with
large circulatons, many advertisers overlook the
fact that only small portion of the large circu-
lation they are buying is IN their trade territory
yet they must pay for the entire circu-
lation regardless of where it may be-.
Using Henderson as an example advertisers
here are asked by outside newspapers to pay an
advertising rate three times as large as the rate
charged by the Daily Dispatch when it is ex-
tremely doubtful if any out Of town newspaper
can offer half as much circulation in the Hender-
son trade territory as that offered by the Daily
Dispatch. This is certainly true as to rural sub
scribers, because the large newspapers after
leaving their immediate home territory, circu-
late chiefly in the towns instead
Of the rural sections
In other words, it is just like asking Henderson
merchant to pay $500 for one pair of shoes in
some other town, when he can buy two pairs
Of the same shoes in Henderson for Sc. CO.
All OF which makes advertising in the State news
papers, as far as local merchants are concerned
not only expensive, but very unnecessary,
unless one just wants to make contribution
Think II Over!

COMPETITION HURT
 AIRCRAFT PROFIT
David B. Ingalls Makes Statement Before Naval
 Affairs Board

Washington, Feb 23-UP)- Profits of aircraft manufacturing companies were forced down by competition and the constant throat that the government would ent,r the airplane building field, DaYid s. Ingalls, former assistant secretary of the navys told the house naval affairs committee to- day.
 Ingalls,, formerly in charge of navy aeronautics, said that when aviation really began to develop in 1928, large profits were made by aircraft and engine companies be- cause there was little or no compe- tition and the government was not in position to compete with pri- vate industry.
 The industry realized a profit of Ills per cent over the seven year period from 1926, to 1893, Ingalls, saie. That profit does not take into consideration state and federal taxes and applies to planes and en- zines purchased for the navy. The average profit on engines over that period was 23.5 per cent, and that on planes was 2.S per cent.
 Rep John J. Delaney, dem. N. Y., chairman of the sub- committee, asked Ingalls whether the govern ment was keeping the Wright Aer- onautical corporation alive to pro- vide competition with the Pratt x Whitney Aircraft corporation.
 1T wouldn't go so far as to say that" Ingalls, replied. "The navy encourages competition but award ed contracts to Wright Aeronauti- cal because their bids were lower than Pratt & Whitney or they had a better product

New York, Feb 23-(UP)- Stocks lost fractions to more than points in a quiet session today, wiping out all the recovery made since the reaction of Feb 9. when the industrial average sank 2.36 points in 3,O0O, ,00O-share shakeout.
 The slow, steady selling that un- dermined the list got under way after a recovery following a steady to firm opening. Packing shares were hard hit on news that 1O leading companies would be inves tigated under the packers act on charges of conspiracy in price-fix- ing. Utilities followed and soon the decline spread to all sections of the market.
 Packers were heaviest losers. Rails sold off 1 to more than 3 points; utilities fractions to more than a point; communications to more than 2 points; farm equip2 ments more than points; oils a point; industrial leaders to more than points: and liquor issues to more than points.
 Mining issues were unsettled by 4 point break in U. S. Smelling. Howe Sound and American Smelt- ing lost more than points each. Celanese dropped more than four points in the textile division. Other issues to lose points or more in- cluded Atchison, Timken Roller Bearing, Du Pont, Western Union, Johns Manville, Libby -Owens-Ford Glass, Southern Railway, National Steel and American Can.

HALF MILLION OF WORKERS IN CWA
 LET OUT TO-DAY
Consolidation Has Begun and Will Continue Until
 First of May

Washington, Feb 23-CUP)- Ranks of the unemployed were lin- creased by approximately 572,5O0 persons today as mass ,demobiliza- ton of the civil works army was started by order of Civil Works Administrator Hopkins.
 Tomorrow, these workers who have had government pay checks for several months will be poten- tial job-hunters. Next week, an other large number of workers vii. be in similar position, and so 1t will go until May 1. when civil works will be non-existent.
 The total number of persons now on CWA rolls approximates 3,lO4,- 400. At one time, it was estimated that 4,120,00O Americans were re- ceiving benefits under the program. The number was lowered by re- auctions in state quotas, by clima- tic conditions, which resulted in cessation of some civil works pro- jects, and by an executive order which last week reduced workers on federal CWA projects by 50 per cent.
 Large industrial centers will not be affected by the CWA demobili- zation plan until the end of March according to Hopkins, who in structed state administrators to "amke major reductions in those communities in which seasonal op. portunities for reemployment are greatest or in which there is least industrial employment"

Washington, Feb 23.-"All busi- ness, under the inspiration of the MIRA, is beginning to learn the advantage of frankness with GUS toners, and we are prepared to go as far as the customer may wish" declared the president of a large Indianapolis canning company at a public hearing on the code of fair competition submitted by that in- dustry. Many advocates of grade standards on food-can labels fol- lowed testimony by members of the MIRA consumers advisory board.
 Tt is hard for women to under stand any canner's unwillingness to have the purchaser know, before buying, the grade of the product, said Lena M. Phillips, president of the National Council of Women. "Remember, gentlemen, this Is your industry but it is our money which supports it." Matilde c. Hader, of the consumers research, complained that the code tells us what canners will not put on their labels. We consumers are more in- terested in what they will tell us on the labels"
 D. H. Palmer, also of the con- sumers' research, said that lat the present time the price and quality of canned food have practically no relationship" and warned that eff the canning industry continues to sell under labels which do not give a basis on which to select a par ticular product, intelligent con- sumer swill eat no more canned food than they are forced to and increasing numbers will return to home canning"
 Mrs John Boyle, Jr, chairman of the consumers council of Washing ton, demanded "a guarantee that I am buying exactly what I pay for" She said no dependence was to be placed in the words fancy, "se- 1ected", and a variety of others on cans.

Consumers Urge Grade
 Canned F Food Standard
Executives of Canning Companies Prepared to Meet
 Public as Regards Labels

T. Schmidt, consumers counsel of AAA, testified to the desirability and practicability of such labelling. White said the system of grading contemplated would not require an extensive force of government in spectors and would be easy to en- force. When the consumer in 1928 wanted a can of corn" it was asserted, "he had to choose from 4,500 brands, all with equally glow ing and meaningless labels"
 Executives of leading canning companies responded with assur- ances that they favor labelling. "An honest effort was made IS years ago." said Frank Garber Fremont Canning company. Ere mont, Mich, but they could not be enforced or maintained" He said the subject had been gone into very thoroughly before the AAA officials"
 E. E. Cosgrove, Minnesota Valley Canning company, Le Sueur, Minn, was asked by the deputy admins trator if his business was seriously hampered by the Canadian require ment that all canned goods be sold in cans indicating the grades. "The only trouble we have in meeting Canadian requirements is as to the size of type used on labels" he replied. Canadian standards are far below those we have for our domestic sales"
 r. M. Shook, of the Tri-State Packing association, told of his ex- perience in displaying cans ito a room full of canners and brokers" /" The averages of the guesses as to contents was 26 per cent correct, no individual guessed as high as 60 per cent correct. He said he had bought cans of equal quality for prices ranging from to 15 cents, all in the same store on the same day.

TRADE IN NEW ENGLAND IS
 HIT BY WEATHER
But the Textile Mills COn= tinued Active, Reports
 Weekly Review

Boston, Feb 23-Although ad- verse weather conditions in the past week practically brought re- tail trade to a standstill and limit ed the distribution of heavier mer- chandise, textile mills, particular ly cotton and rayon, continued very active. Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, re- ported today in the Weekly Review of New England trade conditions.
 "New England mills have been. covering their requirements for raw cotton quite freely during the past two weeks" the Review said. "Fine goods mills still are accept ing forward orders, but print cloth mills are sold for several months ahead.
 Cotton mills have been operat- ing during the past month and half at more than the usual rate for this time of the lear and cur rent heavy demand for all grades of finished cotton merchandise in sures a continuance of this activity for several months to come.
 During the past three weeks cot ton yarn spinners gradually have accumulated orders on their books and now are quite well sold up. Demands for yarns continues ac- tive and prices are being firmly held
 stocks of rayon yarns have been depleted by the large demands Of the past month and the call for rayon fabrics and other products continues steady In good volume. A moderate amount of wool has changed hands in the local market during the week, with firmer prices on the finer grades and steady on medium and coarser wools.
 "Woolen wools are little slower while carpet wools are moving in moderate quantities at firm prices. Wool tops are not quite as active, but quotations remain unchanged. Specifications for deliveries on wool tops are light.
 "Shoe manufacturers art eXpand- ing their activity in preparation for early deliveries of their lines suit able for the Easter trade. Leather is moderately active, and sole leather has been advanced during the week. The hide market is slow, and prices have been marked down a half cent a pound in some in- stances.
 There is very little activity in building lumber or heavy building materials, but dealers in hardwood note an increase in inquiries, par- ticularly from the automobile in dustry. A moderate amount of or ders for pig iron has been placed during the week, but an increase in the demand is expected shortly"

 Brown said the boxes later were taken to the Shoreham hotel and eventually to New York.
 "I didn't sec the contents of the boxes after the covers were put on," he said.
 ''When did you next see the contents?" Austin asked.
 "Well," Brown began, "the box of correspondence was left in the basement of the Berkeley hotel"
 On January 12, 1884, Brown said former Assistant Postmaster Gener- al w. Irving Glover visited him in New York and their attention was directed to the seante investiga- ton.
 Brown explained he had been compiling data for Senator Ken meth D. McKellar, dem, Tenn, on airmail contracts, and said he and Glover wondered whether that document would be pertinent to the inquiry. -...- He was forced to leave on a trip to Ohio, he added, and called Mrs Brown to ask her to have the box of letters brought up from the basement.
 When I got home from Ohio the box was there,' he said.
 "From the time you left the postoffice until that day, had you even seen that box?" Austin asked.
 "No," said Brown.
 Brown said he reached home on Friday and on the following Sum- day came to Washington and con ferred with Senator Simeon U. Fess, repn, Ohio.
 The box of letters was not opened until the following Tuesday, Mrs Brown and l opened the box" he continued, and there, m one corner, were two tied up pack. ages, one saying Merchant Marine and the other 'Airmair."
 Was there any reason why you should remove correspondence on ocean or airmail," Austin asked. NO. there was every reason TOT not doing it. I was terribly shocked at the sight of the papers Brown said he had "just time te catch a train for Washington.

 With communication and power lines crippled. scores of families suffered from cold and lack of pro- visions. Harry brennan, of Buck Hill Falls, Pa, with a team of nine Siberian huskies broke a trail to the home of Miss Eloise M. Oakes at Saugatuck Sound last night, bringing food. Miss Oakes, par alyzed from the waist down, had been completely isolated with her parents since Monday. The family was fairly comfortable to-day. At the home of Kenneth Littauer, bits of furniture and wooden kitchen utensils were burned to heat the home. Three children in the family were suffering from colds. A blow negotiated Hermit lane to bring a physician to the home of LSG. 4NCW hOI h luNSl tAoAhS man, to attend his daughter, Pa tricia. Rescue parties, on snow- shoes and skis, distributed food in the more isolated sections on the outskirts of Westport.
 Five members of the Hartland Hollow club remained marooned at the clubhouse at Hartland. They were we'll provisioned. Wild life suffered extremely from lack of food. At a few places thoughtful residents erected food stations for birds. Wild ducks have died by the hundreds. The Connecticut river, which usually overflows its banks in the spring, has not risen appreciably in the last few days, the weather bureau reported. How ever, it was feared the spring fresh- cts would bring unusual danger this year.
 Air mail service carried on. Two army planes landed at Hartford yesterday to inspect the airport.
 Highway crews turned to second ary roads to-day as most of the trunklines were cleared. However, thousands remained on the main highways to clear the roads to their full width.
