But that is no longer so. We are living in an age of progressive and efficient business building. Manufacturers no longer consider the signing of an order from a reputable retailer as the climax of their interest and effort. And, what is more, the progressive merchants do not feel that they are good business men unless they have agreed upon and put into practice some arrangement whereby both the manufacturer and the retailer unite in the endorsement of the article in question. By this kind of arrangement retailers offer their patrons twofold evidence of quality and reliability ? double responsibility that spells safety to the prudent buyer. And the manufacturer whowants to help his dealers, uses local newspapers to bring customers to the retail counter to ask for his product. Dealers and manufacturers interested In local advertising for national products are invited to write to the BUREAU OF ADVERTISING, AMERICAN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS' ASSOCIATION. World Building.

DR. AND MRS. DENNIS TO VISIT PANAMA With Dr. John Clark Will Be Entertained By Dr. and Mrs. Herbert Clark.

Dr. and Mrs. David W. Dennis of West Richmond are sailing on July 12 for Panama. Dr. Dennis, who is one of the veteran professors at Earlham, and Mrs. Dennis are planning quite an extended stay on the isthmus. They will leave Richmond, July 9, for New York. During their three days stay there they will be joined by Dr. John Clark, of Philadelphia, a famous surgeon and physician, whose birthplace was in Wayne county. The United Fruit company liner, "Pastores," one of the largest isthmian steamers, will bear Dr. and Mrs. Dennis to Panama. While on the isthmus the Dennises will be the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Herbert Clark. Dr. Herbert Clark is a cousin of Dr. John Clark of Philadelphia, and has been connected with the Panama Zone hospital organization as pathological surgeon for three or four years. Like his cousin, he is a Wayne county product having been born at Economy. Panama Summer Very Pleasant. The surprise with which Richmond people will regard a trip to a spot within four or five degrees of the equator in the height of summer, would be another kind of amazement were they to know the Panamanian summer weather. Panama, like all other tropical countries, has two seasons; the wet and the dry. The dry season comes during the northerners' winter months and is generally quite pleasant. The wet season comes during the summer months and the downpouring tropical rains aid wonderfully in cooling what would otherwise be a very hot climate. Together with the rains of the wet season, Panama is blesd with a cool and refreshing trade wind that blows steadily most of the time from the northeast. The combination produces a summer climate that rivals the boasted comfort of the northern resorts. Cfarks Visit Here. Dr. and Mrs. Herbert Clark live In one of the attractive government bungalos, high up on the side of Mt. Ancon. It overlooks Ancon, the zone city, and Panama City, with the island studded bay and the Pacific ocean in the distance. Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Leeds, who were in Panama last winter, were entertained several times by. Dr. and Mrs. Clark. The Clarks were In Richmond last fall for several days visiting Dr. and Mm Dennis. ; : - Dr. and Mrs. " Dennis ' expect to bo gone several months and will spend most of the time at Panama.

HOUSE DECIDES Oil A THOROUGH PROBE ' OP LOBBY CHARGES

Resolution to That Effect Is to Be Introduced By the Committee. LEVY MADE PROTEST New York Man Tired of Investigations He Was Heard in Silence. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, July 5. The machinery of the house was today set in motion for the investigation of the Mulhall charges when the rules committee agreed to report a resolution providing for the appointment of a select committee of seven members to be named by the speaker. This committee will inquire into all the charges affecting members of congress and also determine whether, during the present congress or previous congresses, the lobby of the National Association of Manufacturers did reach or influence any officer or employe of the house. The committee also is to look into the efforts of the National Association of Manufacturers to defeat any candidate for the house. Another object of the committee is to determine whether any Improper influences have been exerted by the association or any other body in the selection of committees. When Chairman Henry called up the lobby resolution Rep. Jefferson Levy of New York offered strenuous objection. "What is the gentleman's objection?" asked Speaker Clark. Rep. Levy replied that he was opposed to the house undertaking further ' probes of any character. He said the money trust and steel trust investigation had caused only financial unrest throughout the country and he was opposed to taking any notice of malicious attacks upon members of congress. Progressive Urges Probe. "We have confidence in these members and we ought to show that confidence by voting against any resolution for an investigation of these ridiculous charges," Bald Mr. Levy. The house received Levy's suggestion In silence. Rep. Kelly of Pennsylvania, a Progressive, urged the investigation, declaring that the-cause of social and business unrest is the belief that the Interests are attempting to shape legislation , Rep. Kahn of California supported the lobby investigation and added that certain acts of the executive branch of the government might be looked into. He referred to the DIggs-Caminet-ti white slave cases. ' "A remarkable situation here the other day," he said, "when the majority tried to stifle debate on a proposition that there should be a thorough exploitation of the Diggs-CamineUi white slave matter. You cannot avoid laying bare these matters and It Is useless for you to stick your head in the sand like ostriches and make believe that the people of the country cannot see what you are doing." BOY SHOWH CLEMENCY Roy Stratton Released Pending Good Behavior. Roy - Stratton, the boy who, with Lawrence Garwood, was found guilty of robbing the home of Harmon Wolke on the National road, and of committing other petty thefts, was before Judge Fox in the juvenile court this morning.
