BUSINESS DOESN'T GROW WITHOUT PUBLICITY

There are some people who will tell you that it is pretty slowbusiness waiting around for new customers to be born, and there islittle wonder that they arrive at such a conclusion for they are doubt-less depending upon the customer to ferret them out and develop

. their business for them instead of getting busy and letting thosewithin a proper trading radius of their store know' that they are en-

gaged in the business of selling goods which the people and de-

sirous of , securing their patronage. . . '. .

What Is needed in sueXcases is publicity. Start a, campaign ofadvertising that will reach ttuscustomers that are wanted. Theyread the newspaper and they have come to rely upon it for informa-tio- n

concerning trade opportunities. The. result is that the merchantwho advertises doesn't have to stand around and wring his hands andwonder why business doesn't grow.

The thing to do is to go after the customer instead of waiting forhim to stumble upon your store and the best method of doing thatis through the advertising columns of The Bulletin because it cir-

culates thoroughly throughout not only Norwich and vicinity but thewhole of Eastern Connecticut." V

JUDGE HOOK'S DECISION ISTO BE USED IN TEST CASE

To Determine the Constitutionality ofthe Adamsoit Act. -

Washington, Nov.Gregory telegraphed the gov-

ernment atifa'neys In Kansas City to-night that he approved the plans forexpediting to the supreme court a testcase to determine the constitutionalityoi me Adamson act agreed upon tnereby the government counsel and rail-road lawyers.

The case to he used as a test isthat brought by the Missouri, Okla-homa and Gulf Railroad in whichJudge Hook of the federal court atKansas City decided against the gov-ernment. The transscript of the rec-ord in that case is expected at thedepartment of Justice tomorrow andwill be promptly filed with the su-preme court. "

The attorney-gener- al said theagreement would be' signed by thegovernment and railroad council inKansas City. The railroad lawyers inWashington who ..took up the negotiations first were notified of this ar-rangement and ' the matter was re.igarded as finished and the way clear-ed to get the case to. the, supremecourt. The transcript - n?:iy be filedat once but the court does not re-convene until December 4, ' whencounsel for both sides will ask - thatan early; date be set for argument.

If an' early, dat.ev is fixed the gov-ernment hopes the case may be de-termined before January 1, when, thelaw becomes effective. Vfffrer theagreement it was pointed, .cut here,the department agrees not to insti-tute any prosecutions undr the lawbefore the determination iot- the Mis-souri, Oklahoma and Gulf case. Thisdoes not mean, however,hat the gov-ernment may not collect evidence onwhich future prosecutions may bebased if the law is found constitu-tional. ,

As understood here the carrierscoming into the agreejnent would keepsuch accounts as are' necessary underthe law to make payments to the af-fected employes in case the law is heldconstitutional. This requirement isincorporated in Judge Hook's decisionin-th- e Missouri case. ... ' -

38. ACRE TRACT FOR OLDKASSAN NATION ALMONUMENT

Includes the Well . Known ' AbandonedVillage of That Name in Alaska.,

Washington, Nov. 24. The "OldKassan National Monument," consist-ing of 38 acres within the Tongass Na-tional Forest, Alaska, - Jias just beetcreated by presidential, proclamationas a result of recommendations madeby the Secretary of Agriculture. Thetract embraces the well-know- n aban-doned Halda Indian village of OldKassan, situated on Prince of WalesIsland in Southeastern Alaska, aboutthirty miles west of "Ketchikan. ,

The village was abandoned by theIndians about ten years ago. Amongthe relics which remain- - there areabout fifty Indian totem poles, five orsix of which are classed as exceed-ingly good specimens. In the desert-ed village there are also eight largesquare buildings which were original-ly constructed according to the pe-culiar plan of the Haida Indians, andwhich; it is stated by those best qual-ified to know, represent the best spec,imens. of Haida architecture that nowexists. The largest of these buildingsIs approximate' 40 by 80 feet in sizeand is made entirely of round andcarved timbers. There also remain anumber of Indian graves with the typi-cal small grave houses Greeted by theAlaskan ndians.

Since the village was abandoned bythe. ndians the buildings have beenrapidly falling into a state of dilapi-dation aijd, decay, and a certainamount of vandalism .by tourists andsouvenir hunters renders some formof protection essential. An examin-ation of the area was made jointly byrepresentatives of the Forest Serviceand of the Interior Department, andreports strongly urging the establish-ment of National Monument were ap-proved by the secretaries of both de-partments. The Smithsonian Institu-tion strongly endorsed the propositionfor the establishment of a NationalMonument. The new National Monu.ment will be protected and adminis-tered by the Forest Service, as Is thecase with all monuments locatedwithin the National Forests.

Paraphrase of the Agreement.That question was left to Sec

"First The American - troops nowin Chihuahua, commanded . by Gen-eral John J. Pershing, shall be with-drawn within forty days from the ap-proval of the protocol by the respec-tive governments provided that withinthat time the conditions in that partof Mexico have not become such asto endanger the American-bordea- t Insuch event the time shall be extend-ed.

i Patrol of Border. v

"Second The Mexican army shallpatrol the the Mexican side of the hor-de rand American army the Ameri-can side but this shall not preclude

between the two forcesto preserve peace Upon the border.

Third It shall.be left '.to the com-manding officers- of the armies on theborder of both . nations to enter intosuch arrangements forin operations against bandits when-ever it is possible.

"The right of the American gov-ernment to send troops across theborder, in pursuit of bandits was notIncorporated in the protocol but wasmade the subject of - a supplementalmemorandum. Tlie TJexicans hadcontended earnestl' against signingany agreement in which they appear-ed to sanction what they termed theviolation of their national territory.It was the agreement of the Ameri-cans finally to content themselveswith stating the attitude of the Unit-ed States in a separate memorandumthat induced the Mexicans to sign theagreement."

It became known today that thefirst i quest of the Mexicans for arpcess was made several days ago.They desired to submit to GeneralCarranza all the facts in the case andto obtain from him his advice as to thecourse they should take. The Ameri-cans o;)i.osed such action, contendingthat further delay was inadvisable.Yesterday the insistence of the Mexi-cans resulted in consideration of thesuggestion and today the discussionwas resumed with all members of thecommifsijn present.

to sign, but the Americans succeeded
