Mn? anil colffTiuT?* through Sntnrdny, June 2nd. These dates were selected, it was pointed out. so that tlte event would run through two Saturdays, thus affording everyone a chance to take advantage of the bargains to be offered. Mr. ,1. EJ Davis, who was appoint ed chairman -of the Advertising Com mittee, put the proposition l>efore the association members. It is all right to talk about "trading at home,” he stated, but merchants must do more than talk. “We must make our stores and our merchandise attractive to the people,” he stated. "It is not enough for us to sit here with our hands fold- 1 ed and talk about It lieing the duty of the people to trade at home. We must show them that we can give them ev erything they need. “We must make our stores attract ive, must carry a good stock of goods, must offer prices as low as possible and extend a courteous service. If we will give these things instead of advice about not buying from the mail order houses we will prosper mor.e.” Mr. Davis also stated that he thought the event should ’be made the biggest in the history of North Caro lina. The bigger the bargains and the more costly the prizes the more people the event will attract, he stated. This opinion was hacked by Mr. J. O. Parks, head of the Parks-Belk Com lmriy here and a numlier of other Belk stores. Advertising has always paid with him, he stated, and he has no ticed tjiat the bigger the proposition the more goods he sells and the more money he makes. “Get into this thing with lots of enthusiasm,”, he advised, “and It will he the biggest thing we have ever done.

Washington, May .B,—A council of ministers in Peking , has decided to mnkp urgent representations to the Chinese government and other com mands that punitive thcasures be tak en by it to seenne the release of for eigners still held captive by the Chi nese bandits who held up the Shang hai-I’eking express train Sunday morn ing. Reports from Minister Schurman, telling of the counelijjk decision, were received at the StMc Deportment, where it was nnmurrlvcd that results of the council's efforts would probably be awaited before independent repre sentations are renewed by the govern ment. Tlie United States government would prefer to act in accord with the other powers, represented by the council, it was said, rather than pur sue a separate course. Minister Hclpirrmin reported the bandits had released all of the wo men taken prisoners when the train was wrecked, but still held 14 men for ransoms. Two American Women in Hospital.

A. would tie convinced that ample preparation for n successful campaign were being made. A staff of stenog raphers are busy at work compiling a list of prospective contributors while tlie Secretarial staff under the direc tion of Campaign Director Ackley are lining up the teams and completing tlie details of the organization. A meeting of the Executive Commit tee will be held at the "Y” tonight and on tomorrow night there will be a meeting’ of. the Division Colonels and team* Captains. The organization When complete, will consist of 75 work ers among Concord's leading business men. There is a splendid feeling of co-op eration and nearly every man is re sponding when asked to serve. The people of Concord have reason to tie proud of the work done by the “Y” tlie last two or three years. It has made a fine impression upon the hoys and girls of the city and has won fa vor with all those who are familiar with its work. If there are those who are critical it is because they do not know what the Association has ac complished. No grenter calamity could befall a city than to have to close its Y. M. C. A. hut unless the $21,500 is secured that will he the case in Concord. The local “Y” has aldays labored under a heavy debt incurred in part at the out set and later has accumulated because the Association had not found its way into the hearts and therefore the pock- 1 ethooks of the jieople. But now it will be different, the nmjie.v is going to lie | raised and the "Y” freed from debt I and then it can go on to larger tilings. So vital is the raising of this money and so sure are the Board that it will be raised that all subscriptions are lie- Ing taken upon the condition that hu r less the whole amount is subscribed none of the subscriptions are binding, which means that unless the amount is secured the “Y” will be closed. An indication of how the business men feel about tlie “Y” and its con tinuance is that yesterday u man call ed at the office and volunteered a gift of $1,009, a few days before another man said lie> would give one-tenth of all that was subscribed. It will no doubt lie necessary t.o make a very thorough canvass of the city and ev eryone, including boys and girls in the high school, the women’s clubs, Bible classes, for these groups and others generally coine in when a situation so critical as is the one here exists. By the time tlie parade is staged, the publicity gotten out and the work ing' organization perfected it will he a rare person indeed that does not feel if a privilege to have a part in the en terprise. It is typical of Concord to* measure up to any situation and she will measure up to this. Anita Stewart to Sue For Divorce. (By (he Associated Frees. I Los Angeles.
