RULES TRUSTEES ARE NOT ENTITLED TO EXTRA PAY.

Ele Stansbury, attorney-general of Indiana, has submitted to Gilbert H. Hendren, chief examiner or the state ‘board of account, an opinion in which he rules that if a township trustee himself .takes the sexennial enumeration of voters the trustee shall receive mo extra compensation for the work, but that if the trustee employs assistants the assistants shall be paid by the county. The county is to stand the expense of blanks and othe materials. A constitutional provision and an 1865 statute provide for the enumeration of male voters each six years. It must be done by the township trustess or trustees and assistants between January 1 and July 1. The enumeration statistics are turned to the auditor of state, to be laid before the next general assembly. The enumeration then becomes the basis on which the state is apportioned for representation in the national congress and in the state general assembly. Originally the county paid all expense of the enumeration, but the 1917 law fixing salaries of township trustees, is interpreted by the attorney-general to forbid the trustees from receiving any extra compensation 'for the work.

TWO FACE MURDER CHARGE

FRANK MILLEN AND ' HARRY CODY CHARGED WITH MURDER AT MONON - . As a result of an inquest at Monon Sunday afternoon, Frank Millen and Harry Cody, both of near Wolcott, were taken to Monticello and lodged in the White county jail to answer to a charge of first degree murder, of Mrs. Pearl Graves, wife of Samuel Graves, of Monon, and a sister of Mrs. John M. Johnson, of near this city. Booze is said to have played its part well in the tragedy. • Mrs. Graves’ death followed her being struck by an automobile driven by Millen in front of the Monon News office. At the time of the tragedy, it is said, Mrs. Graves, with her husband, was crossing the street carrying an armload' of groceries when the car bore down on her. The back of her head was crushed in, and her limb was broken in two places. Mr. Graves was but a pace or two in front of his wife and narrowly averted being struck. Other thgn Mr. Graves, there is said to have been no witnesses to the tragedy. Millen is said to have continued right ahead after striking his victim, not bringing the car to a halt until he almost ran into another car half a block away. Mrs. Graves was taken to the home of her mother in the east part of Monon, where she died an hour and Millen and Cody were arrested at the home of Marion Jacks by the Sheriff and were taken to Monticello for safekeeping. It is said that there were four men in the car when the tragedy occurred namely: Harry Cody, owner of the car; Frank Millen, driver, and Marion Jacks and Dan Rogens. However, it is said that the latter two disclaim being in the car at the time, and they were not arrested since there were no witnesses to disprove their assertions. It is thought, however, that it will prove that they were occupants of the car when it struck Mrs. Graves. Considerable liquor was found in the car by the Sheriff and it is said that all four of the men were intoxcated, and they will have to answer to the charges of having liquor in their posession in dry territory. The deceased was about thirty-five years of age and leaves her husband and three small children. Millen and Cody will be given a ■ ireliminary hearing at Monticello Wednesday.

DOES IT PAY TO ADVERTISE The Friday evening Indianapolis News consisted of thirty six pages. Many of these pages were solid advertising. There were no special advertisements, but all were from regular patrons and the paper must have run eighty per cent advertising. Indianapolis is reputed to be one of the very best commercial cities in this country. The men who are succeeding there believe in printers ink and evidently do not figure that the people “have” to trade with them. He who advertises is thrice blessed. He filleth his pocket with shekels, his store with customers and places the name of his town upon the map. There is he, who does not believe in advertising and does not advertise. Pass him up for the sheriff will get him soon. There is he, who does not know whether advertising will pay or not. He is asleep at the post and some < one will get his pillow if he does not soon awake. There is he, who believes in advertising and advertises. Trade with him for he is an up-to-date business man, the quality of whose goods is the best and the prices the lowest. He builds his trade on “quantity sale” and not on maximum margins.

II ADVERTISE NOW, OFFICIAL URGES I MERCHANTS OBLIGED TO EDUCATE PEOPLE OUT OF WARTIME ECONOMY. By EVERETT C. WATKINS. .... Washington, March 23.—Put business on its feet by generous use of I advertising space. Nothing will give busness a start II like an intelligent advertising campaign—a generous use of newspaper I display ads — ; in the opinion of Roger W. Babson, director of the informaI tion and education service of the 11 United States Department of Labor. Advertising, he says, is needed to I give a demand for articles whose manufacture is now moving slowly. I He urges that manufactures as well as wholesale and retail merchants get busy with advertising campaigns. I During the war people were educated not to buy, now that should be I reversed. Mr. Babson believes in the power j of advertising—intelligent advertisI ing to make things hum. He said in I a statement issued' today: ' “Prosperity ultimately depends on I the consumer. If there is not a marI ket for goods, they will not be proI duced. The situation at present is just this—business is stagnant beI cause nobody wants to buy anything, I even though people have been deprivI ed of a great many things they would I normanlly have bought by reason of I the restricted productioncaused by I the war. “Pslchologically, we have not yet I been able to recover from the shock the war inflicted ufx>n us. We abstained then from making purchases that we would otherwise have made, for at that time it was the patriotic thing to do. Now, however, it is patriotic to start business as rapidly as we can. Buying must be increasI ed. Advertising will help. - “The time to buy the things we need is here now, but people will not respond to ordinary appeal. A general campaign of paid advertising is necessary to get business going again. Dealers in all sorts of commodities should advertise them—in the newspapers and other accepted mediums. Only in tins way can the demand be stimulated. Advertising never will pay so well as if done now. “My advice to the merchant is this: For your own interest and for the good of the country increase the advertising appropriation you have made for this year. If it is $20,000, make it $25,000; make it more if you can. It will pay—pay big. “Only by advertising can buying power be stimulated, butt advertising brings a very direct return to the merchant, the wholesaler and the manufacturer who advertises. “Advertising—intelligently directed—will provide the tonic that business needs. lit will make business hum.” The aid that newspapers rendered to their country during the war—the aid they gave to recruiting, to fuel saving, to food saving and to all war causes 2 —has opened the eyes of government officials to the possibilities of newspaper publicity and advertising. Mr. Babson of the Labor Department is so impressed with the power of paid advertising that he is sending broadcast an appeal to business men to increase tnerr, advertising space and thus boost business.
