POLICE CHIEF PUTS SPOTTERS III SHOPS

Wave of Petty Thieving and Shoplifting Causes Action.

REFUSES TO CALL G. 0, P, CONVENTION

WATCH OTHERS HANDS

Stylishly Dressed Woman Or Plain Little Udy May Be Detective.

Ji'. you know the. person who shopped beside you today, Mrs. Shopper? Was she a friend, a Ktrangrr, or a "Bpotter" fmployed by the police department? The wave of petty thieving and shop lifting lhat accompanies the Christmas crowds in the city's stores has led Police Chief (Jormon to employ persons who visit the stores with the phopperg, mingle with them and watch all nuspicious actions. Sales people and employes of the business houses do not know the spotters, whose identity i.s being kept secret by Chief Gorrnon. They enter the stores examine jjoods and make purchases just as other Customers, all the time watching: the hands of others to see that a pair of silk hose is not slipped into : muff or other small . articles stuffed into coat pockets. Identity Unknown. Perhaps the tall stylishly dressed young woman who stood next you this morning at the glove counter was a spotter. Or maybe the plain little lady in black who was examining silk for her daughter's Christmas dress was employed by the police department. Maybe the young man who strolled through the ten cent store buying a box of matches and some sheet music was watching for shop lifters. The spotters have power to make arrests, which they will do quietly without disturbing other shoppers, said Chief Gormon. "The best advice to everybody is to keep hands off things that do not belong to you and pay for everything you ;: .' "It is not the women whose husbands get small pay, and who have to woik hard making ends meet in the home, who are guilty of shop lifting," continued Gormon. "Women most able to pay often yield to the temptation to take h smpll article. Silk hose, gloves, hatpins and remnants are most attractive to the shoplifters."

(Continued rrom Page One) publican parties, and because the bulk of the reforms now being demanded by the big majority of meu who have remained loyal to the Republican ranks, would mean the elimination of the gang now in the paddle, these reforms are foredoomed to be relegated to the scrap heap.' Goodrich Sincere. .James P. Goodrich, committeeman from Indiana, apparently is sincere in his desire to reconstruct the Republican party so that it will meet with the popular demands and take its place again as an effective political force, but his efforts along this line were promptly vetoed by the KealingWat son-Herneuway crowd. flow tht; Rushville politician, the principal figure in the notorious Mulhall investigation, overruled Goodrich, causing the Winchester man to return to his home in disgust, is told in the following Washington dispatch: "An interesting feature of the Republican national committee meeting yesterday was a break between James P. Goodrich, the Indiana national committeeman, and his stand-pat friends from the Uoosier state Goodrich, to whom his old associates now refer derisively as a 'Populist,' was for Cummins for president in 1012, and yesterday he followed the lead of the Iowa senator in voting for a national

convention next year. To his surprise James E. Watson obtained the proxy of Committeeman Moseiy of Mississippi, went into the committee and killed Goodrich's vote by voting against holding a com enrion. "Goodrich departed for Indianapolis last evening, alter turning his proxy over to Fred Sime, who will sit in the committee today. Koallne l-ft with Goodrich. Watson und .limes Hemenway are .still here. No action was take:: by the national committer yesterday against the obnoxious practice of electing national committeemen four years prior to national convention."

AWFUL PAINS FULLYDESCRIBED A Lady of Pizarro Tells Story of Av.Tul Suffering That Cardui Finally Relieved. Pizarro, Va. "I suffered for several years," writes Mrs. Dorma A. Smith, ''with that awful backache and the bearing down sensations, so fully described in your book. "I tried doctors and other medicines and found little relief, until I was induced to try Wine of Cardui, when I found instant relief and today l can heartily recommend Cardui to all suffering women and think there is no other as good." In some instances, Cardui gives instant relief; in others, it may take a little time. But in all cases of female trouble Cardui can be depended on to be of benefit, as it is a specific remedy for women and acts in a curative way on the womanly organs. As a general tonic for women, to build up your strength, improve your appetite, bring back rosy cheeks and make you look and feel young and happy, nothing you can find will do so much for you as Cardui.

Safe, Simple, Adequate Plan for Every Person

who wishes to accumulate a Fund for next Xmas For the convenience of hundreds who have made inquiries at the Second National Bank as to vthen the 1914 Association would be ready for depositors, arrangements have been made whereby deposits may be made tomorrow or any day thereafter.

ipel! Weekly Deposits Amount to in a Year

See What S

GROUP 5 Nets $63.75 and Interest First payment 5 cents; 10 cents second week; 15 cents third week, and continuing each week with an additional 5 cents for full fifty weeks. Two weeks before Christmas you will receive a check for $53.75 and interest earnings in addition at the rate of 3 Per Cent

GROUP 2 Nets $25.50 and Interest First payment 2 cents; 4 cents second week; 6 cents third week, and continuing each week with an additional two cents for full fifty weeks. Two weeks before Christmas you will receive a check for $25.50 and interest earnings in addition at the rate of 3 Per Cent

GROUP 1 Nets $12.75 and Interest First payment 1 cent; 2 cents second week; 3 cents third week, and continuing each week with an additional one cent for full fifty weeks. Two weeks before Christmas you will receive a check for $12.75 and interest earnings in addition at the rate of 3 Per Cent

Should you desire to reverse the order of things and begin with the highest payment first, tapering off to the smallest payment last, well and good. For example. Group5 starts off the first week with 5 cents and at the last week the payment has reached $2.50. You may begin with the $2.50 and deduct 5 cents weeklv from vour payments until the final week requires but 5 cents. The final result is the same either way. The same method may' be applied with Group 2 or Group l. starting with the final payments and ending with the first payments scheduled. There is still another plan open that of starting upward and downward at the same time, therebv equalizing your Groups and making the weekly installments the same throughout the year, doubling the fund. For example, Group 5, starting upward with 5 cents and Group 5 reversed, starting with '$2.50, would equalize the Groups and make the weekly payment S2.55, the fund netting you $127.50 'in fifty weeks, plus interest at the rate of 3 per cent per annum. Select Your Plan, and call at the Bank TOMORROW or at any time within the next week and begin your fund.
