SLACKERS' ROLL TO BE CALLED SOON BY WAR DEPARTMENT
Richmond and Wayne county men, Tho for any . reason "slacked", during the war, had better tremble In their shoes. The roll of draft deserters, who failed to respond to the draft call in the United States during the war, Is to be posted soon by the war department. It will contain the names of every American elllglble under the draft who evaded the call. There are 173,911 names now on the list. Wants Names of Volunteers. The department is taking pains to avoid having the name of any man listed on the deserters' roll who does not deserve to have it there. An appeal was issued today to all
those who served honorably and who
are in doubt as to their status to com
municate at once "with the department
in order that no injustice be done. The announcement said: "The war department is most anx
ious not to place upon any man who
perved his country , honorably the .humiliation of having his name appear
p. s a Flacker, and for that reason is
seeking the widest publicity of the fact that a lint of deserters will be (.ubllphed, and that the men whose names appear on that list will be arrested and brought to trial before a military court. Can Prove Record? . Do It. "Any man, therefore, who Is not positive that his record with his local board was complete In every detail, should avail himself at once of this opportunity to clear his record and avoid the probable publication of his name as a deserter. Once the list of drscrters is posted, every means at the disposal of the army will be brought into play to brins about the arrest ami 'trial of the' -guilty. "The tremendous public sentiment asalnst slackers will caues the whereabouts of most of them to be revealed and It Is not expected that any guilty man will escape."

Then, too. there is no gauge as yet to determine what the general public will do in the way of buying. People have responded somewhat to the attractions of special and reduction sales, but even what appeared to be barains did not result in promiscuous buying.
Conditions of this kind do not help
to inspire confidence on the part of Jobbers or of the buyers for the big retail stores. Many of both classes have visited this city during the last fortnight. A number of them are still here and more are expected. These visitors have done a great deal of looking around, but have rather deaf to the importunities of salesmen.

number of new Incorporations throughcut the country. The sansc: month was marked by he
greatest number or failures sir.ee the end of 1918. It w;:s noteworthy also that many of these failures were for large amounts and that they were especially numerous In manufacturing lines. Values Are Shrinking. While the tightening of credits had Fomething to do with forcing tl liquidation of a number of concerns, the real cause was tho shrinkage of values, which made it necessary for lenders to protect themselves against losf. There was no risk on a continually rlplng market, but there was peril when values kept dropping and reallsIrjT became a problem. Resistance has been, and still is hovn by various factors to a reduction of prices, but its fvt'ty k bcnmlng more and more apmrent art time passes. There is the perfectly natural impulse to hive th" other fel'ow take the loss which must bo borne by some body, but in th end the one holding the frocks must be the sufferer.

In its issue of June, 1920, Petroleum Age says: "The announcement made May 25th, advancing the tank wagon prices of gasoline and kerosene in all Standard Oil Company (Indiana) territory was a disappointment to the oil men. They say the advance in the price of gasoline was less than was expected, or at least hoped for. The refiner is asking 23c for the cheapest straight-run, and this makes the cost to the jobber 25c in Chicago. To this must be added 3c for the cost of doing business. As a result the new price is still too low for a profit on gasoline." The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) distributes through tank wagons and service stations, completing the cycle of service from refiner to consumer. The present low price for gasoline in the Middle West is due in large measure to the efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in refining and distributing its product, 'Jilt Standard Oil Ccmpauy (Indiana) maintains an elaborate research department, which has enabled it to increase the 'amount of high grade gasoline obtainable from crude oiL The efficiency of the manufacturing department, plus the all but perfect system of distribution, enables the company to render an unique but necessary service to everyone in the Middle West who, either directly or indirectly, relies upon automotive machinery for power. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has maintained and will continue to maintain, the lowest possible price for petroleum products consistent with proper security to its stockholders.
