Merchants Show the Way.
“Newspaper advertising has material
ly cut down the cost of selling gas ap
pliances,” said C. A. Nash, of Daven
port, sales manager of the United Light
& Power Co., speaking before a meet
ing at Sedar Rapids, la.
“In the old days in the gas business,”
said he, “we depended on our housc-to-
Jiepse salesmen to create our market
and" to/effect a large percentage of our
’-atKr’Wftnf year* Through tW 'tffldpWhh
of the successful advertising plans of
merchants, our market has develop
ed so that now 75 per cent of our
patronage comes to our store to make
selections. Only 25 per cent of our sales
arc made by house-to-house canvassing.
"While our newspaper advertising ex
penditure have been increased and we
are spending more than the average gas
company does with the newspapers, at
the same time we have found this most
valuable, inasmuch us our sales have in
creased enough to more than justify the
expenditures and in addition to this the
outside selling expense has dropped to a
small fraction of w hat it formerly was.”

DISASTER ON MISSISSIPPI |
Mad Half a Hundred Prominent Persons
Aboard—Most of Them Saved.
Alempis, Alay 8. —Four are known to
be dead and fourteen are missing as a
result of the capsizing of the United
States government steamer Noraian, six
teen miles south of Memphis on the Mis
sissippi River late today, a recheek of
of the survivors showed shortly before
midnight tonight.
The survivors arrived here at 11:3>)
p. in. on board the steamer Mississippi.
The Nornian sank was return
ing from Cow Island with a party of en
gineers here attending the convention of
the Alid-South Association of Engineers.
Bhe was moving along smoothly, accord
ing to survivors, when she sudden’y le
gan rocking from side to side for '
five minutes, when 6he careened far over
and failed to recover. Three minutes
laler she had gone from sight. ; . :
■ The scene of the disaster is sixteen,
miles south of Memphis, opposite Coah
ma landing, and 300 feet from the Ten- :
nessee short. ./
The known dead:
Prof. Walter G. Kirkpatrick, Univer
sity of Mississippi.
Airs. Kirkpatrick.
Alrs./J. F. Dorroh, wife of Dean Dor
roh, of the University of Alississippi.
Alajor W. AI. Gardner, Alemphis.
She steamer had on board about fifty
persons and of these approximately 35
<-.- 40 tonight were huddled in a little
cabin on the shore of the river near the
scene of the disaster. The place is iso
lated and was difficult to reach. News
paper men sent to the scene were forced
to make their way to Tunica, Miss., eight
miles away, traveling part way on mule 1
back, part by boat and part by automo
bile, to obtain wire facilities.
The steamer sank at exactly 5:10
o’clock, according to survivors, who said
there was no panic.
Tom Lea, who happened to be passing
the Norman in a motor boat when she
turned over, saved the lives of most of the
rescued, AV. AV r . Debard, of Alemphis t.o]d
the Associated Press. Few persons man
aged to swim ashore.
There was no explosion when the boat
sank, the survivors said, Jack Cothran,
engineer, having turned off the fuel oil
under the boilers when the boat began
to misbehave.
The first news of the accident reached
Alemphis when George Foster, of Alcm
j phis, who swam ashore, reached the K.
jit. Armistead plantation on the river.
I near Lake Cormorant, Aliss., and tele
phoned for help.
Immediately afterward, efforts at res
cue were started.
Speed boats bearing physicians and
newspaper men were then started for
the scene.
At 11 o’clock tonight the steamers
Alonitor and Cihsca. botli equipped with
searehilghts, were cruising the waters at
the scene endeavoring to locate bodies.
Other steamers were reported on the way
to aid.
The survivors were first taken to a
negro cabin on reaching the shore and
were cared for there.
Memphis Engineer First to Tell of the
Disaster.
Alemphis, Team. Alay B.—George Fes
ter, a Memphis engineer, gave the first
word to the outside world of the sink
ing of the government steamer Norman
with a possible loss of many lives in the
Alissississipp River, south of here. Ap
pearing at the home of K. H. Armistead.

he told of the disaster.
Foster told members of the Armistead ,
family that he swam to the bank of the

two women and another man or two af
ter the boat turned over in midstream
without warning. He said that only six
i t seven out of the supposed forty rr
fifty persons on board swam out.
The boiler of the boat is suposed to
have blown up according to meager in
formation received here tonight. The
location Is just opposite Coahoma Land-,

head of .Tosie Harris Island, where the
river current is swift and treacherous,

an island and a chute on which he used
a skiff. *
< Foster told Miss Mary O’Donnell at
the Armistead home that the boat turn
ed oyer suddenly without warning. He
was so excited, Miss O'Donnell said, that
he could give no details except to say he
could not ascribe a cause for the boat
turning over.
Night laborers on the Armistead plant
ation who were eye witnesses to the ac
cident said that the boat apparently was
running smoothly when it stopped—nud
denly, careened and completely turned
over, disappearing quickly. When the
water reached the boilers, it sounded like
an “automobile running,” one of the ne
groes said.
None was able to says whether the
boilers exploded to this juncture or not
but they were positive there was no
explosion before the boat turned over.
