Only in the case where rates are excessive have ere lowered them, and the great bulk of schedules remain unchanged. What we are trying to do is what President Hoover promised in his message to the last congress; to put into acts what, judging from the actions of the administration legislators, were meant to be nothing more than words."

PROD- -DON'T PLOD YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS Most people need to be prodded to do the very thing they KNOW they ought to do. There are few persons in these enlightened times who do not realize the value--the necessity--of life insurance. And yet life insurance representatives are often called upon to do a great deal of prodding before people will really act upon their convictions and sign an application. No one disputes the sanity and logic of thrift. Yet probably not more than half the families in the United States have savings accounts.
Humanity needs someone who will grasp it by the coat collar and force it to do what it is convinced it ought to do. Then there is the matter of care of the teeth. It is real economy to pay half-yearly visits to the dentist. People who wait until they have a toothache before visiting the dentist spend much more than those who have regular dental inspection. The care of the teeth is a business question, because dental neglect seriously impairs health and efficiency.
Newspaper advertising is one of the most used methods of "prodding." "Good advertising, like a good cook, creates an appetite when the buyer doesn't seem to be hungry." Advertising also reminds, reminds, remindsit prods. The insurance man, the banker, the dentist, and a host of others who may be preaching and prodding are trying to do the world good. They profit because they serve. The salesman-even the most persistent canvasser--is striving to confer a benefit. It is well to listen to all types of "prod.
ders." It is well to lend an ear to all the prodders and preachers and solicitors one encounters in business or in advertising. Because you wait (do you not?) to be urged to do the things you already know you ought to do. Prod--don't plod--your way to success. Advertise.

SUPPOSEDLY DEAD YOUTH PRODUCED (Continued From Page One.) of girls at the home of Sheriff Sam Johnson. The youth, previously identified as Franklin by three of the accused men and their relatives and friends, was brought here today to stand before a crowd of several thousand people and answer question after queston put to him by 'Prosecuting Attorney Hugh Williamson, and three men who told prosecutor they were satisfied the then was Franklin, Charles Ruminer, father of Tiller, was picked out of the crowd by the man, who saw him through a window in the office of Ben Williamson, chief defense counsel. After the youth had been identified by three persons at Williamson's office, he was taken to Johnson's home.
A group of girls had been gathered into a room in which Franklin WAS ushered. He walked straight to Tiller Ruminer. "Why, hello, Tiller," he said. Tiller held out her hand, then dropped her head, not meeting Franklin's glance. "It may be Connie Franklin." she said, "but he has changed since I saw him last." Hazy as to details and names because of lapse of time, the defense claimed charges against the LIve the men have been "trumped up" AS revenge against the father of one of the accused men.
Corborated by brothers of the accused men, defense lawyers say that many years ago a group of men in this vicinity wrongfully transported a girl to Oklahoma and that the father of Herman Greenway, one of the accused men, had them prosecuted. This, they say, was the beginning of the feud, and the opportunity to strike was seized when Connie 'Franklin left the St. James community last March. But Sheriff Sam Johnson, of Stone county, worked nine months in an etfort to solve the mysterious disappearance of Franklin and after much questioning, drew from the Ruminer girl testimony that Franklin had been mutilated and burned while they were on their way to be married. Tiller told the sheriff she had kept silent about the affair pecause she was afraid of the men she said slew Franklin.
A deaf mute boy and an old restdent of the hills also told the sheriff they saw a body, believed to have been Franklin's placed on a pile of burning brush. Sheriff Johnson had produced bones, pronounced by a state chemist to be human which he says he belleved are bones of Connie Franklin.
