THI: RETAILER. Roger Babson d such vital importance and casts such | a searching light of the best way to reduce the cost of merchandise, that his remarks on the subject of the of better distri- bution, through the retailer, published in The Herald of last Saturday, can- not be passed over without comment. After calling attention to the that a tremendous advance has been made in this country in the methods | of producing goods hy increasing labor's efficiency, with the result that a vast increase has been made in the amount of goods produced, he plores the fact that there has been no such advance made if the manner of distribution of those goods. 1In better distributing methods, he says, lies the solution of getting goods to the consumer at a lowered cost. He absolves the retaller from blame, | sses a subject of upon the question need fact de- placing that the lack of study of this problem Mr. Babson cltes the fact that the government 18 spending $100 000,000 a year in research to help the hlame on over manufacturers and farmers has never even census of “Hundreds of men are em- ‘gathering informa- Hundreds are chemical search for means of Aghting pests and blights which taken a retailers, ployed,” he says, tion on the crops. more experimenting in re- destroy crops and in- structing the farmer in their use Similar work is being done for the manufacturer to help him find more efficient methods of production.” Mr, Babson asserts that all this work worth while, but urges that as much money should be spent to help the retailer who distributes goods to us. His suggestion, contained in the fol- lowing words, might well be adopted as a plank in the platform of hoth of the great political partles. “Urge the government to extend its services to the retail fleld so that the retafler istical informa- the same tance the is ‘a1 have the same stat tlon and from scientific research as producer now enjoy Mr. Babson's article concludes with | & plea for the retailer and an appeal to people to give him their loyal pat- ronage when they have found one who, in the main, gives satlsfaction. “The retailer had tremendous problems not the least of which have been the knocks we have given him,” declares Mr. Babson. At present we are on the eve of a general business improvement, but the retaller is not in the mental attitude to prepare for it . . . his attitude is fearful and defensive. He should be laying in a large stock of goods to meet the increased demand and guard against a shortage later this fall. It is up to us to get behind him and encourage him. Let us cease de- structive criticism and turn our efforts toward building up the retailers who are giving us the most efficient serv- ice.

GEORGES “TRIPPED". Those matters fistic will read with interest the news that knocked out by “Siki”, the negro, is said to have been tripped at the end of the ght and for that reason should have declared the winner on a foul From all accounts received here the champion was tripped badly in the fight. It would not seem, how- ever, that who tripped him, but something inside the white man that down- fall—that tripped him.

Carpentier suffered in reputation as a brave man not at all of that crushing defeat by Dempsey. He fought fairly and made no excuses for his defeat.

When, ever, he found that his blows had no effect upon the thing inside him seemed to begin that tripping process to call for tac- tics on the Frenchman's part that brought disapproval from judges and the crowd alike. If Siki's foot tripped Georges it was not untll after Siki's blows combined with a lack in Car- pentier's make up brought his defeat.

The following | prices were announced by companies jon the five domestic sizes: D. L. & W.—Grate $7.75, egg $5.00, stove $8.00, nut $8.00, pea $6.15. Willlams & Peters $7.75, egg , Stove $8.00, pea $6.15.

As the present freight rate on an- thracite coal from the mines to New Britain is $4.54 per gross ton, it would appear that a reasonable price for any of the prepared sizes, would be considerably less than the prices that are now being asked, The same issue of the New York Journal of Commerce, in making cur- rent coal quotations for retail for New York City, is quoting $13.25, for stove and chestnut coal, and for pea coal. s there any reasonable excuse why we should be asked to pay more than $16.00 per ton for the egg, stove or chestnut coal?

Mrs. Ella Briggs turned state's evi- dence, bared her life history and tes- tified against Roy Sullivan, who is on trial on charges of holding up, shoot- ing and robbing A. W, Heistand on June 13 at White Plains during a rnival. She admitted she had de- serted her husband in Chicago four vears ago and went to live with Sul- livan. = She said that Sullivan told her to find a man around the carnival for the purpose of robbery. *For two nights we slept on the ground be- fore the robbery because we had no money,"” she testified. ‘““Then 1 met this man Heistand and got him to take a walk with me. Sullivan fol- lowed and the hold-up followed. Sul- livan would not have shot the man if he had not struck him in the head. Sullivan ordered me to search the man and when I found nothing Sul- livan searched the wounded man's coat and found his pocketbook. He also took his gold watch and chain.” Sullivan declared Mrs. Briggs had “framed’” him for the purpose of get- ting rid of him. The jury found him guilty of robbery in the first degree.
