RAD DAYS SUCCESSFUL.

Larger crowds were reported to be in Durant last Satur-
day than had been here for some time. Merchants enjoyed
an increased volume Of business and are said to be more than
pleased at the outcome so far Of the Trade Days and cash
prizes. This all goes to show what concerted effort will bring
about. Planned trade events can bring increased business for
every merchant in any town. Events like this should be
planned months ahead Of time and widely advertised. The
wider the events are advertised, the bigger the results will be.
More cash prizes will be given Saturday afternoon at
three o'clock and again on Wednesday afternoon, December
70, at three O'Clock. 1t behooves every person to be on hand
Saturday afternoon and again on Wednesday to take advant-
age of the opportunities Durant merchants have made for them.

THALBERG BURIED; M-G-M DENIES SHEARER TO QUIT.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. IT QN.S0.
In spacious Forest Lawn Memorial
Park, not far from his friends Will
Rogers and Marie DresSler, the
body of Irving Grant Thalberg lies
today.
But the art and the memory Of
the genius producer lives on in the
heart of the world. 1t lives per-
haps most poignantly for the $500
celebrities who attended his simple
funeral and for the 10000 humber
folk who crowded outside the tenn
pie to pay him homage.
1t will never die for one, at least.
This is his beautiful and talented
wife, Norma Shearer, who today
sits in their luxurious Santa
Monica home with their two chill
dren, six-year-old Irving, jr., and
one-year-old katherine.

BRANN DOUBTS
VOTE, ASKS FOR
RECOUNT

NEW YORK, Sept. II G.N.S0 .
A demand for a recount in the
withdrawn senatorial election in
Maine Tuesday was announced
here yesterday by Senator Joseph
F. Guffey, Of Pennsylvania, chair
man of the Democratic National
Senatorial Committee.
Senator Guffey's sta ement fol-
lowed a conference with Gov. Louis
J. Brann, Democratic governor of
Maine, who was defeated in the
senatorial battle in Maine by Sena-
tor Wallace H. White, jr., by
5,211 votes.
Slush Fund Charged
Governor Brann, who came to
New York to confer with National
Chairman. Farley and Senator
Guffey, charged that Republi-
can "sluSh fund" had been re.
sponsible for his defeat. He de-
clared that the Republicans spent
three dollars in the campaign for
every one he had for campaign
eXpen ceS, adding:
eff they would give me the
money they used in Maine I'd
elect a Chinaman governor of
the State"
Senator Guffey in announcing
his demand for recount, said:
"After hearing the report Of a
number of people in Maine am
convinced that there is at least a
prima-facie case of violation Of
the Federal election laws.
CONTEST PROMISED
Declining to reveal any of the
evidence in his possession and ex-
planning that no formal charge of
corruption would be made until he
had opportunity to investigate
further, Senator Guffey said:
There has been disclosed
enough concerning the inOrdi-
nate amount of money expended
on Senator Whites behalf to
make it obligatory to announce
that there will be demanded a
recount Of the Maine ballot. If
the evidence juStifieS it, there
will be q contest when Senator
White attempts to take his seat
in the Senate"

two points Of view, that expressed
by Major Berry's conference which
represented the %"little fellows" in
business, and that of the large in
dustries, is that the big fellows put
the emphasis on lower prices to CON-
sumers and greater purchasing pow
er for workers, while the other
group fixed its eyes mainly On the
insuring of profits to producers and
dealers.
Therein are the makings of a
real clash which will be echoed in
Congress when proposals for new
legislation affecting business come
up for consideration.
