Part Payment.
Cleveland, Ohio, June 15 A diamond
ring and watch owned by . Daniel F.
Kaker, which are said to have been

That selling is teaching and that the
ideal situation would be one in which
all store sales people were teachers,
explaining and demonstrating merchan
dise so as to show the prospective
buyer the usefulness of the goods, thus
creating demand while also eliminating
the risk of selling people what they can
not use with profit, was declared by
Arthur Freeman of the Affiliated Retail
Stores, New York, as the most modern
and best thought in selling merchandise
Economists, Mr. Freeman said, tell
how transportation adds to the value
of goods by creating place utility, and
how manufacturing adds to value by
creating from utility- A ton of cok
is of more value on a side-track at the
point where itcan be &sed. A ton of
steel is of greater value when made
into watch springs. In like manner,
advertising creates information utility,
he said. Though advertising and pro
per salesmanship, the customer is made
to understand the merchandise and to
make better use of it."
President Harding. It is said mat tne
President trusts Fall's" judgment as
much as that of any man in the Cab

friends due to an acquaintance groov
ing out of the days when both served
in the United States Senate.
Fall is popularly known as the ' ure
eater" of the Cabinet but those wro
know him . personally say there is not
a kinder, better natured man in Wash
ington official life. Thews is a firm
gleam in his sharp eyees, however,
which indicates that he will not stand
for nonsense. He spent many years in
the wild, border country of the South
west, where arguments were won by
the man who was quickest on the trig
ger. But coming to the Senate, he
soon showed that he was a dead shot
with his tongue as well ms with a six
shooter and few opposition Senators
had the courage to stand up under his
withering sarcasm- He was a bitter
ender during the treaty fight and one
of the severest critics of Woodrow Wilson.

of renewed fellowships, of hand-claspins
and of pleasant reminiscences on the
part of hundreds who came back to
their alma mater to enjoy the distinc
tive commencement scenes again.
The alumni held a meeting in Gerard
Hall, President Chase addressing them
briefly. R. D. W- Cohnor presided, and
owing to his promotion to the profes
sorship of history, he was not eligible
for re-election to head the alumni. The
nomination of Colonel Albert Cox was
! made . from the floor and his eler-tinn
was unanimously recorded. After two
hours of reunion, the alumni moved
over to the dining hall where luncheon
was spread for them and their wives.
In John Motley Morehead, of Charlotte,
the alumni found a toastmaster who
kept the luncheon hour alive with witti
cisms and pleasantries. Mr. ATorehrart
i had not been back to Chapel Hill since
ne graduated 25 years ago.

jtionaries who are bobbing 'up Over the
State, seeking to beat back the tides
I of progress and development not only

progressive movement and institution.
The C-overnor was in great form and
put a lot of energy into his champion
ship of the great progressive measnroo
which have been undertaken by North
uruiina.
The other speager of the occasion
was introduced by Mr. Morehead as
j one whose "name is written on the tomb
: stone of the Central Empires," Josephus
j Daniels. Mr. Daniels spoke briefly and
i after referring pleasantly to the toast
; master, Mr. Daniels dwelt largely upon
me suggestion tnat a memorial be built

in the service of their countrv. "And
when we build it," he said, 'Met us in
scribe upon it the words, 'They died that
freedom might live'.

EXPLOSION OF CAR OF
DYNAMITE IS PROBED
" New Albany, Miss., June 15. Inves
tigations were under way today to fix
responsibility for the collision near
this city last night, of two St. Louis &
San Francisco Railwav freight trnir,
I which resulted in the death of Frank
Mais, a negro fireman., the iniurv of
four other trainmen, and the explosion
of a car of dynamite, which scattered
debris over cotton and corn fields for
a distance of a mile or more.
.Preliminary estimates placed the dam
age to railroad equirTment and freight
shipments at approximately $200,000.
All of the injured trainmen are ex
pected to recover, t
The explosion of the car of dynamite
tore a hole 20 feet deep and 50 fe.'t
square under the tracks. Fire follow
ed the explosion and 14 cars with their
contents were almost completely de
stroyed. Telegraph lines were demol
ished for a considerable distance along
the track and traffic was at a stand
still for several hours, trains finally be-.
mg aetoured by way of Holly . Sprinjs

THE INDIANS KNEW.
A famous physieian stated that more
women might find relief from suffering
through taking a medicine like Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
than through 'undergoing surgical op
erations, if they would only take it in
time. At the first sign of female
weakness, as indicated by backache,
dullness, bearing down pains and ner
vous exhaustion, take this famous
remedy of roots and herbs, and avoid
the serious consequences of delay. '
The Indians and early settlers knew
and benefitted by Nature's Allies, the
roots and herbfc of the field. Because
Lydia E. Pinkham knew their medicinal
value, thousands of women all over
the world have been saved from op
erations, but only, such as have taken
ic in time. .

T. Miller, assistant to Secretary Her
bert Hoover of President Harding's cab
inet, paid E. L. Keesler of Charlottt,
a marked compliment while making the
principal address "at the first meeting
of the North Carolina Building and
Loan League now holding its annual
sessions here. Mr. Miller declared that
it was Mr. Keesler who was the author
of the first home loan bank bill to
be introducel in Congress, this measure
having been sponsired by Mr. Keesler
while he was president of the United
States League of Building and Loan As
sociations and introduced in 1918. The
main body of Mr. Miller's address was
in connection with the housing prob
lem in this country and he forecast
that only stimulation of interest in
building and loan associations could
this problem be solved.
The sessions of the convention today
will be featured by addresses by E- L.
