The Frawley legislative investigat- ing committee is stirring up things in New York state. In its apparent de- sire to impeach the governor the committee introduced a check for $2,500 which it alleges was sent by Jacob H. Shiff to swell the Sulzer campaign fund, and which, according to the investgators, Mr. Sulzer failed to include in his schedule of receipts and expenditures filed in compliance ‘with the corrupt practices act. CANAL WORK NEARING END Engineers in Charge of Important Sections to Return to States. Washington, Aug. 4—The early completion of the Panama canal is forecasted in the announcement that Major James P. Jervey and Major George M. Hoffman. of the army en- gineers will be relieved from duty in the canal zone the latter part of next month. Major Jervey, who has been in charge of the construction of Gatun locks, will take up river and harhor ‘work, with headquarters in Rock Is- land, 11, while Major Hoffman, who supervised the construction of Gatun dam, will proceed to Wheeling, W. Va,, for river and harbor work in that vicinity. Board’s Actlon Criticised. London, Aug. 4—It is apparent here that the British people are not in sym- pathy with the government’s decision not to participate in the Panama-Pa- cific exposition at San Francisco. Business and professional men were heard to comment unfavorably on the board of trade’s action, adding that it would be a reflection on the British nation not to take part in the big af- fair. WOMEN GIVE STREET TALKS Suffragettes Seek to Convert Populace of Washington, ‘Washington, Aug. 4—Having storm- ed the senate; the suffragists, who are here from all parts of the country, now have decided to lay siege to ‘Washington. The automobiles in which the eru- saders traveled here lie idle in their garages while the women are engaged in holding street meetings in the hope of converting the populace of the capi- tal to their cause. Miss Helen Todd of Chicago and San Francisco, Miss Jeanette Rankin of California, Mrs. Glenower Evans of Boston and other leaders are holding both day and eve- ning meetings on the street corners. The heavy rains and disagreeable weather of the last few days so far have falled to dampen the women’s ardor.

Easton, Pa., Aug. 4—The upper Delaware valley struggled to get it- self untangled from the mass of de- bris and wreckage caused by the cloudburst. S Road beds of the Delaware, Lacka: wanna and Western and the Pennsyl- vania railroads were badly washed. The damage at Manunka Chunk, N. J., the junction of the Pennsylvania and Lacakawanna railroads, has not yet been repaired. No fatalities were reported. There is nothing in local history to coxipare with the. storm in the neighborhood of the water gap. ALL PARTIES MUST APPROVE Possibllity of a 8plit Over Mitchel's Nomination. New York, Aug. 4—As an after- math of the action of the fusion com- mittee in agreelng to put forward John P. Mitchel as the anti-Tammany candidate for mayor there arose the question as to whether all three po- litical divisions—Republican, Progres- sive and Independent Democratic— represented in the committee, would stand by the action taken. The decision of the committee in regard to the nomination in behalf of the three divisions is actually only a recommendation to the political or- ganizations who contributed to. the membership and the actual choice must naturally be made by those or- ganizations.

RUSSIA MAY BAR BAPTIBTS Ministry Will' Deny Sect Right of Liberty of Worship. St. Petersburg, Aug. 4—The Rus- slan ministry of the interior is credit- ed by the Novoe Vremya with the intention of permitting the holy synod to proclaim the Baptists as “a swet especially- harmful to the state” and therefore not ‘eligible for registra- tion and not possessing the right of liberty of worship. The action’ of the government is at- tributed by the newspaper to recent refusal of Baptists to take the mili- tary oath. GUTHRIE ARRIVES IN- JAPAN New American Ambassador at Post " of Duty.

He sells perhaps tised product. If it pays a merchant on each sale. The idea of buying at home has been ecarried one step further by at least two American cities which have re- cently sold their goods at home. These goods consisted of municipal bonds, usually disposed of in some foreign market and money center. While cit- {es are selling their bonds in distant centers and sending the inferest away annually, there remains at home thou- sands and thousands of dollars hoard: ed up by local people who are will- ing and anxious to invest it in the bonds if given the opportunity. This has beeh demonstrated in St. Pauland Baltimore. Back of the experiments in St. Paul lles an interesting bit of history. That city some time ago discovered that it could secure better work or street im- provement by day labor than by con. tract, and its charter was so amended 80 as to admit the desired change. The amended charter still provided that improvement bonds should be sold aft- er bids had been received and contracts let, but before work had begun. It did not cover the conditions for day labor on the bond side apparently. There- fore when $209,000 worth of 6 per cent paving bonds were issued there arose a question as to their legality, and bro- tised article at 75 cents, profit of $137. tising the article. How How Adver;.iéing -Wofks; ! Every merchant-is anxious to increase his net annual profit. . His success is-dependent more on the net annual profit than the profit‘on each sale. That is the reason the merchant likes to handle a product that. is well advertised by the manufac- but his net annual profit on an advertised commod- ity is always greater than on a similar non-adver- is well advertised, why doesn’t it pay all the more to advertise a product he handles. Suppose a retail merchant buys an “article for 75 cents, and his gross margin of profit is 33 cents He sells $400 a year. gross profit would be $132. But his net profit on this one article for the year may be only $40, as the balance or $92: may be the proportion of running - expenses charged to the article, such as taxes, rent, insurance, salesmen, interest on investment, etc. Suppose on the other hand the retain merchant advertises the article well. profit on each sale will be the same as before, or 33 cents. He will probably sell 800 each year at an an- nual gross profit of $264, and an expense of per- haps $92." Then if the merchant spends the sum of $35 advertising the article his expense is only $127, and his gross profit is $264, leaving a net annual The net annual profit on the article when not advertised is $40 while the net annual profit on the article when advertised is $137 or a difference of, $97, which amount the merchant loses by not adver- lose on each article he handles by not advertising the article?

A bank inquired into the matter, ob- talned expert advice and found that the bonds were legally all right. It therefore purchased freely and, to see what could be done in the way of in- teresting the small investors, put be- fore one of the leading department stores of the city a plan to dispose of the bonds over its counter. The store’s heads fell into the plan at once, took the bonds, announced a sale on a cer- tain day, the bonds to be sold at the price paid for them and guaranteed so that no investor need have any fear about getting his money back at any time. A limit of $1,000 to each pur- chaser was fixed. In all §99,000 worth of bonds were disposed of in five hours. The purchasers were for. the most part women, and the average purchase was about $250. The money came from local savings banks, from the postal savings banks and from per- sonal hoardings. Shortly after this another issue of $25,000 worth of bonds for a municipal playground was offered. A bank took the entire issue and announced to the public that it would sell, with these bonds as security, trust certificates ir denominations of $10, no purchaser to recelve above $100 worth. The sale of these certificates was quite as success- ful as that at the department store. In the city of Baltimore the finance commissioners opened bids for an issue of $5,600,000 of 4 per cent clty stock which had been duly advertised for sale. The bids received totaled onmly Finda buyer for the Second-Hand things which you no longer need—Through o “For Sale” Ad. $559,000. By rejecting bids below 90 and accrued interest the commission- ers were enabled to award but $427.- 000. The sale was a distinct faflure. OASH WITH coPy | oent per word per Issue | ‘Within ten days, however, the whole issue had been disposed of at 90 and interest. A direct appeal to the peo- ple and a sale over the counter to small investors, proposed and carried into effect by a Baltimore newspaper, ac- complished this end. During those ten days the money market was in the worst condition it has been in since 1907. With that'in mind the paper anticipated the failure of the city to dispose of the full Issue and had announced that it would place a small block of the bonds stock on sale In denominations of §100 and multiples of that amount. For this pyrpose it secured $10,000 worth and placed it on sale. In two hours it was gone, and more was sent for. . The first day’s sale amounted to $48,5600. On the second day $78,600 was disposed of and on the third $121,400. Orders were pouring in by every train. - A week after the sale was announced the city made it known that it had all the money it needed and would withdraw the unsold portion of the stock and hold it for a better market.
