man who owns several stores in this state told the writer that he is planning the heaviest advertising cAmpaign in the history of his business. "Three or even two years ago I wouldn't have dreamed of it. Money WAS coming in. people were buying freely without advertising, and profits were big. All that has changed.

Profits Are small, buying is on A smaller scale, and buyers Are hesitant. You've got to show that you have the goods and that your prices are right to even get people to look at Unfilled orders for U. S. Steel were something over 100.000 tons more than the Wall street traders were looking for. For two consecutive months unfilled orders of the United States Steel corporation have shown a gain.

The gain for November 1930 was greater than the gain for November. Steel buyers have been holding off for months. The stocks of the buyers got so low that they have HAD TO BUY. President Hoover sends to congress the protocols for American to the World Court. Senator Watson, republican floor leader wanted the senate to IndefInitely postpone consideration of the matter for this session.

Senator Watson and a lot of senators don't realize that American herence to the World Court would not only give renewed hope to the almost bankrupt European nations but that It would also help business in this country. All America has done in Europe In an official way is to advise. If lyou were in deep financial trouble and all you could get was advice. while that might be helpful, participation would help more, wouldn't it? A doctor who attends a patient and tells what ought to be done without any means of doing what ought to be done, is no good. Europe needs a physician today as it never did before: still more it needs the right kind of medicine.

It is no good to say that ca is not Europe's family doctor. and America are Interdependent. We need Europe in our business and Europe needs us. If Europe were on her feet today 85 she would have been had America had the brains and the courage to join the League of Nations. and the World Court, farmers wouldn't: he selling wheat today for a bushel and there wouldn't be the depression that there is today.

However, eventually, after the old hatreds of 1918 have passed Away, after we realize that Germany's war guilt was not greeter than that of her European encmies, after partisan polltics has been found to cost us more than we get out of it in our international relations, then we'll Joln the League and automatically become member of the World Court. Meanwhile business is slowly but surely reviving. Payrolls are growing larger, buying 18 better, the scare of disaster is looming less large on the horizon, the country Is getting Its feet on the ground, and we are gradually getting out of the depression altho that will be more apparent In 90 ays than It is, how. Director Woodcock of the prohibition bureau says that the Volstead act 1s to be made inforceable because instead of poisoning alcohol new denaturant has been found. With due respect to the director it muclose said that he is evidently to his Job that he doesn't realize that isn't 8 matter of poisoning or not poisoning alcohol.

Support non-support of the law is the controlling factor. There are A thousand different ways to make alcohol. There are hundreds of thousands of people making it. You can't control public by law. Public opinion isn't, the result of law.

Law is the result of public opinion. It is merely a record of what public opinion decrees. The prohibitionists have the cart before the horse, in the opinion of many. That of course is strictly a matter of opinion. Maybe they are right but the wave of resentment shown in the recent elections does not Indicate that public opinion is with them.

SOLD AT AUCTION Anybody with in Cash Was Eligible to Purchase the Road By RAY BRENNAN United Press Stair Correspondent WILMINGTON, Dec.

(U.P)-The $125,000,000 Chicago Alton railroad, like a heavily mortgaged bungaowl, was offered today for sale at auction. Anybody with the necessary cash -probably $80,000,000 or 000 was eligible AS a purchaser. Railroad men predicted that the line, with is fine trains and 1,100 miles of track, would be "knocked down" to the Baltimore Ohio rallway. The B. which already owns a controlling interest, was expected, make the highest bid in order to extend its system from Chicago to St.

Louis and Kansas City. The history of the Chicago Alton dates back to the time of Abraham Lincoln, who acted as the board's attorney. After his ASsassination, his' body was carried on a C. A train to his burlal! place at Springfield, Ill. Wilmington, a small country town, is the central point on the Chicago Alton and the sale was held here for that reason.

Lundahl, Shortly after 2:00 p. H. A. master in chancery and acting auctioneer, planned to mount on a specially constructed platform In front of the depot and call for bids. Prospective bidders were required to post deposits with Lundahl so the road not be sold to a practical joker without funds.

Competition from automobiles and motor busses and a coal miners' and railroad workers' strike several years ago, brought the Chicago Alton into its present difficuties. Revenues decreased, liabilities increases and 8 receiver was named. The road, Including its good will, was understood to be valued by the owners at about $125,000,000. The interstate commerce commission has set a value of $80,000,000. "We expect little difficulty in getting $80,000,000," said Lundahl, a stocky, sandy- haired man of about 30, who horn-rimmed glasses.

He has acted as auctioneer in several similar instances for bankrupt railroads. "Bids will be received both on the entire system and on parcels of the road. For Instance, we may receive a bid of $90,000,000 for the entire system, bat if several bids aggregating $95,000,000 for differportions are received. the sale will be made on that basts."
