NEW ORLEANS, Oct. IS. Iieforo an open grave on the shores of the Mississippi, lone Vrd sophisticated city girl.BJisp i ti. swoonod and finally admitted yeaterduy that a bullet torn body was that of Jack Kraft, New York newspaper man and adventurer, with whom he had started out to see the world. A small tattoo of an Indian head on the forearm furnished the Identification, along with a pear on n knee, which (Jeorge Kraft, older brother of Jack, who had come from New, York, said established tho identity beyond any doubt. The girl swooned a half dozen times and attempted to fight her way free once. The scene was on tho banks of the Mississippi, 55 miles below New Orleans and one mile below tho spot where her traveling com panion's body went hurtling from ; the Creole, New York-New Orleans I boat. Revived by the sprinkling of river water on her head she was subjected to questioning as natives, peeping from tho under brush, chattered in queer old French. She said neither she nor Ram Epstein, ship's steward, had shot Kraft, but would not swear that John McOouldrlck, second officer, r ITiid not ; phot him." She declared f she did not know who had shot him. Was Bra ton. She said both McGduldrlck nnrt -Epstein had come to her assist ance when Kraft was beating and choking her In a jealous rage. She declared she had seen Kraft leap overboard. She could not explain the coroner's verdict that Kraft was dead before he hit the water. The girl was led over the rough prairie to a Negro tenant's cottage, where she was given coffee. I Suddenly and silently a detec-1 tivo laid a bedroom slipper on her lap. With a shriek she hurled i the slipper across the room, jump- ed up and fought the doors and i walls, in nn effort to escape. It was a slipper worn by Jack Kraft and washed ashore with his body. Then the investigators drove back to New Orleans stating thev were convinced the girl know:! more than she has told about th? tragedy. The case will be laid before the grnnd jury tomorrows for goods, that he should buy In Medford. ' The best way to do is to keep them at home where they will always bo ready to say 'good morning.' "When you sit down to write a letter away to some other section of the country for goods that can be bought right here at home, re member one little thing, and that Is. that schools provided by money spent here in Medford were the ones that taught you how to write that letter." "Loyal support of local retailers. wholesalers, manufacturers, work ers and home Interests of every sort Is the Indlspensible part of the urneu oi every iruu nuusier. now much money do A Ou spend an nually elsewhere that you might keep at home to make Medford more prosperous?" "Medford merchants meet all competition. Their stocks are se lected and priced In keeping with the cla.es of merchandise they have to offer. Much money Is going out of this city and county all of the time, but many of tho merchants keep a lot of It at home by adver tising." "A town Is like a baby carriage a little pushing helps: it is also like a woman a little fixing up Improves Its appearance.' . . "The only job yon can get with out knowing anything about It is selling. That is why there are so many sale-men and so little sales manship." "lilir Dollar says "That statement points out in a startling way one of the greatest weaknesses in the present method of distribu tion. The business world Is filled with people who are trying to sell without knowing anything about their merchandise. As a rule they haven't the faintest conception of how the ortlcle is made or the serv ice that It will give. j "Many sales people are appar ently put behind tho counter or on! (he road with the idea that all there is to selling is to pick an article up and hold It before the' eyes uf the prospective customer with the price tag dangling. That Is why there are so many merchants looking for goods to sell at a price, the idea being to get values that are so startling that no sales ability is required to dis pose of them. It can't be done In this day and age. "We are gradually getting back to the good old theory that the person who is going to make a suc cess at selling is the person who knows the most i.bout his line. And that holds for the clerks In the stores of Medford or tho traveling salesman out of this city. i " 'Fred T.' in the Hnglewood, III.. Times, wrote a little story under the heading of "True, But Peculiar.' It Is as follows: "Isn't it funny? That so many business men will get up In the morning, shave with an advertised razor and advertised soap, put on advertised underwear, advertised hose, shirt, collar, tie, and seat seat themselves at the table, and eat advertised breakfast food, drink advertised coffee, put on an adver tised hat, light un advertised cigar, go to their place of business -In nn advertised automobile and turn down an advertising proposition on the ground that It doesn't pay?" "Yes." says "11111" Dollar, "it Is funny, but lots of those fellows who feel that way are usually the ones that send a calendar out once a year and then remark that adver tising doesnt pay."

Modern hair dressers arrange tho hair no beautifully that it's .bound to attract attention. That's Jfhy it's so important to guard its jcolor and lustre; keep it in perfect condition. There is no surer, simpler way to do this than with Danderine. Each time you use your brush, just moisten it with this delicately fragranced liquid. Then as you draw it through your hair, it re moves tho excess oil: brines out the natural color; makes tho hair fairly sparklo with new life and lustre. How much easier it is to arrango the hair afterwards. How it stays in place. And try "setting" tho waves with Danderine. They stay in so much longer. Danderine quickly dissolves tho crust of dandruff; puts the scalp in the pink of condition; helps tho hair to grow long, silky and abundant! Danderine The One Minute Hair Beautifitr At All Dru atom .
