Babson Advises Newspaper Advert s ing and Proves It. Wellesley Hills, Mass., Apr. 28. Roger W. Babson, who has recently been checking figures on the retail j trade of the country has issued a pi e j liminary statement. According to his analysis, letail trade averaging all section of the whole country is ntrain back to normal. “Some sections are still behind the | good years of 1919 and 1920,” savs j Babson, “but many other sections are ahead. Retail trade was the last to ! feel the effects of the depression. ; “When a slack business hits a sec tion the financial interests feel it first 1 the manufacturing and farming inter ests feel it second; the jobbers and wholesalers hear it third; and finally the retailers hear it. Hence, although I retail trade continues good long after 1 Wall street is blue it does not come! back again until sometime after Wall | M eet comes back. There are, of 1 course, a few exceptions to this gener- I lal rule. The profits of firms like Tii- : fany, the jeweler, who sells largely to the very wealthy, follow close to stock market movements, but 95 percent of the retail firms lag a year or more behind. “The best retail trade today is in the industrial cities of the east where ! two years ago, mills and factories I were shut down, they are now work ing overtime. Cities like Pittsburg, ; which a year ago were working only 1 60 percent of their capacity, are now back nearly on 100 per cent. Akron, j which three years ago had the highest | percentage of unemployment in the 1 country is now advertising for men. Detroit is again bask to normal, the volume of retail trade in most of these ; cities is equal to or greater than it has ever been. Os course this does j nott mean that the profits are as large “The publis is showing more discri j mination in its purchases and is shop ping about more. The volume of re tail business however, is back to nor mal in thes cities. i “Any concern in an industrial city which is not doing a normal business today should house ascer tain wherein the difficulty lies. Cit ies which are about to enioy wage advances are in an especially favor able position. The retailers of these cities should do better business dur- | irg 1923 than they ever have done. The mill cities of New England are J in this class. “Tk«e farming communities may not. b back to normal although statisti-! cians differ greatly as to what is nor- j j mal. If we call normal the few boom { years of the war, then the farming ! sections are still below and may be for some years to come. If however, I ; we consider as normal the average for! the past 20 years and in add ; tion al- ; ; low a prooer amount for growth, we ! will find that the retail trade of most farming sections is now back to nor- | ma) or will shortly be. Therefore. 11 sav that something is the matter with i the retailer who is not now doing a! normal business. He is either a poor j buyer or a poor salesman. Either he is mixed uo in some outside enterprise end is not attending to business—or! is not posted as to fundamental ; conditions. There is a ‘ho’e in his eco j nomics’ somewhere and it is up to him ; to find it. “During the next few months loc al merchants should advertise. Na tional manufacturers are utilizing fi’e great power of advertising in the d’stribuiton of their products. The successful department stores are ad vertising freely in theid local papers; but the smaller retailer has vet fail ed to advertise as he should. • Perhaps t.hic ic why he is small—one cannot tell. There surely is some reason whv the people flock to one merchant and pass by another.” MACON MAN RETURNED. Macon, Ga., Apr. ,27. —James Caru thers, alleged fugitive from justice, who has lived in Macon since his es cape from Rowan county, N. C., 17 years ago and who was arrested last week was carried back to Salisbury, N. C., to complete the remaining 18 months of his sentence. He was convicted in connection with a conspiracy to commit murder. Two other brothers also were con victed and both escaped, but one was captured a year later—the other died. Caruthers has lived a very quiet life in Macon. Two years after coming here he married. His first wife died and he married again. He has reared two children, a boy 11 years old and a girl 4, since taking up his residence here. A man with whom he had quarrel ed during the week, who knew of his past, reported him to the poilce. Salisbury, Apr. 28.—Jim Carruthors was sentenced to four months on the Rowan county road force for escap ing from the force. These 4 months will he served when he has finished his four venrs to which he was sen tenced 18 years ago. After serving one year, Caruthers escaped and has sirwe married and buried two wives and raised two children, under an as sumed name, at Macon, Ga., where he was re-arrested last week. 1 We can’t sen why jazz musicians ! should be paid 815 a da;/.

Chicago, April 27. —Affidavits made by Edward M. Salomon, of Chicago, that he paid $12,500 to two men al leged to be employees of the United States department of justice are in tne possession of treasury department officials it was declared here. Salo mon charges, it is said, that the mon ey was paid for favors which the men failed to deliver. Special dispatches from Washington to newspapers here asserted that the disclosure of the existence of the af fidavits threatened to divulge how bootleggers ancl others were paid ; large sums for protection they never received. Copies of the affidavit are said to be in the hands of certain Re publican congressmen who may bring the matter up before the house. Salo * mon claims the men promised to make him prohibition director of Illinois. 1 Salomon is said to have written let ters to William J. Burns, chief of the i bureau of investigation of the depart i merit of justice, and George Christian, : secretary to President Harding, in connection with his charges, i Salomon in his affidavit is said to have mentioned Gaston B. Means, and I Elmer Jernicke as two department of I Justice men with whom he had cer tain dealings. He also is understood to have referred to Col. Thomas B. Fielder, who was insturmental in pe titioning Wm. Howard Taft, then, pre- i sident, for a pardon for C-has. W. Morse, wealthy ship owner now under indictment in connection with alleg ed war frauds, as attorneys of the agents whom Salomon accused. Means, it is said, does not appear as listed among employees of Wm. J. Burns’ office. He is well known in Washington, New York and Chicago, and was tried and acquitted several years ago for the murder of Mrs. Jno. C. King, widow of a Chicago million- \ aire, near Concord,, N. C. j . Newspaper dispatches from Wash- 1 ington said Secretary of the Treasury j Mellon and David H. Blair, commis sioner of intrenal revenue, were con ducting and investigation of Salomon’s charges. Washington, Apr. 27.—Officials of the treasury and justice departments whose duty it is to invstigate charges against misconduct of government j agents denied flatly that they ever heard of the complaints of Edward M. Salomon, described in special dis patches of Chicago newspapers. ROUTE TW O NEWS. Bear Creek, Rt. 2, Apr. 30.—G. A. Loyd has purchased a Ford touring j car. Mrs. T. B.

Since we first made the announce- I ment in regard to the gift of a Foun tain Pen for every four new subscrib ers sent us, there have been several young ladies who began work to win . one, and already have sent in many j new subscribers. Many of them have l secured one, some of them two and a j few of them three subscribers and as | soon as we receive the fourth one, the 1 pen will be forwarded by prepaid, in sured parcel post. The pen itself is a beauty, it is en gine turned on the barrel, has a genu- j ine 14k gohl pen and a nickel clip | on the gent’s pen and on the end of ! the ladies’ pen there is a goM ring. It’s retail price is $3.50, but it is equal to any $5 pens on the market. It is a beauty and one that will be appre ciated. As school is out it will afford the teachers as well as the scholars a splendid opportunity to get the four new subscribers and thus receive one of these pens. The subscriptions can be sent for either paper, The Herald or The Record, or for both. Two sub scriptions may be sent for each pap er or one for one paper and three for the other. The offer is not limited to one year subscriptions either. Eight six months subscriptions may be sent or some of them for four months, some for twelve and some for s ? x.
