President Enroute To Capital For Conference.

Y., Nov 14.(INS)- President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt will accept President Hoover's invitation to confer at the White House on international debts

and other economic problems, it was indicated today. Although he has completely recovered from the cold which has kept him in bed since last Thursday, Governor Roosevelt planned to remain incommunicado at the executive mansion until tomorrow. All efforts to get in touch with the president-elect concerning President. Hoover's invitation were futile. Through his secretaries, Mr. Roosevelt sent word to newspapermen that the "lid is on," and that he would see no one until tomorrow. It was reported, however, that the governor planned to begin the drafting of his reply to the president some time today and that it probably would be despatched late

tomorrow.

of many human ailments. The lecturer is. appearing in Bloomington under auspices of a group 'of business firms-and. The Daily Telephone. He has just finr ished a series of lectures in important cities of the south where he was popularly received. The ' merchants of Bloomington

By Blaine W. Bradfute Wednesday is Birma day again, and the people of Monroe and the adjoining counties will enjoy the;. ; hospitality of Bloomington merchants, enjoy the dav and find it profitable in many ways. The good folks of Greene, Owen,. Morgan, Brown, Lawrence , and Monroe counties are invited to Bloomington on- : Wednesday, as the day is held for their benefit . and to introduce' all the people, of these six counties -to the Bloomington stores. The Birma association is founded for two things ; firsts to spread the "gospel of Bloomington" to a much larger trade territory, and, second, to urge local merchants to great-., er efforts t'o make this appeal most effective. Mr. Lockwood aud the directors of the association would bring morer families to Bloomington to trade, connect these families to local stores and institutions ; and at the same time educate all local merchants to a standard of price, merchandise and methods . that will keep Bloomington in step with forward .progress. In short, Bloomington must give to the. people of south central Indiana the same in nier-' chandise, price and service as can be found by driving the many more miles to Indianapolis; Louisville or Terre Halite. Bloomington merchants are. nowdoing this, they propose . to continue it and oh this basis the appeal is made to thousands of families in the surrounding, territory to make Bloomington "their, city." ' -! EverVr merchant, every business and:; profes-j sional man; every theatre and bank, every mstitu- ; tion of Bloomington is vitally interested in the project to extend the Bloomington trade area. . ihe results obteined, will spread out over the. business district and will make Bloomington as a whole a l:p : -. ger and more,prQpen)gcitj:.,,The yightoumla-, tion has been adopted: to bring success . to this ca.m. , paighr it fe that the individual stores and mstitw-. ,. ; tions must in merchandise and service keep.abi-e.itst of the best ill the middle west . to attract new custo- , mers from sun-ounding towns and farms, that the appeal must be by the best merchandising seivice, ,. latest styles and fah" prices--and not an appeal of mere .words and promises. . ' , . In this campaign Blocmington merchants place their cards on the table. They :wantmore ; customers, they are going out after them, they aie r0ing to exploit by fair and open methods all of the possibilities of Bloomington and Bloomington busi, ness, and , on this basis they invite new people to . Bloomington, to trade, to make permanent contacts--and to use all facilities of this city. It is true that Bloomington business is more or less compelled to make this campaign, there are now too many business houses in the city and there is room foi-no: more but this situation is to be met by bringing, in new business. The possibilities seen in this drive are that Bloomington may in the next few years, as it has in the last decade, doubled m size and bus- .
