Charges Moderate , and Satisfactior Guaranteed, THE McICILLOP MUTUAL THE CLINTON NiEWS-RECORD THURS., AUGUST 4, 1932' FIFTH INSTALLMENT SYNOPSIS: Johnny Breen, 16 years old, who has spent all his life aboard a Hudson river tugboat ply- ing near New York, is tossed'into the river by a terrific explosition which sinks the tug, . drowns his mother and the man he called father. Ignorant, unschooled, -and fear driven, he'drago himself ashore, hides in the friendly darkness, of a'covered truck—only to be kicked out at dawn—and into the midst of .a tough gang of boys who heat and chase him. He escapes into the basement doorway 'where he hides. The next day he is rescued and 'taken into the home of a Jewish family living in the rear of their se- cond-hand clothing store. He worker in the -sweatshop store—and is open. ly courted by Beck.—,the young daughter.... The scene shifts to the hone of the wealthy Van Horns, -on 6th Avenue, where lives the.bachelor —Gilbert Van Horn—in whose life there is a hidden chapter. That was an affair with his ifiother's maid. who left the house when he was ac- cused. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Harriet had left with a uinn, her father or brother. Simmons did not know. They walked down toward Park Avenue, and beyond, to the riv- er, and the Cavalier, Tom Breen wast glad to get her at any price. As Gilbert Ieft home his father gripped him by the hand. "Well; Gilbert, you are a Van );Torn, not a Hallett, thank God. The girl may show up again. I suppose she knows how to take care of. herself." The Fire Insurance Company ' Head Office, Seaforth, Ont.

"Joseph Muldoon, a child of : seven was killed on 51st Street last April by one of the . new vehicles. There'll - be dozens ' killed every year before we know it. Don't take any chance, Gilbert." "Depend on me being careful, Judge—here's looking at you!, For a while they continued to look out on Fifth Avenue. "Como, Gilbert, let's .walk up to Martin's." "I feel like a good scrap tonight" Van Horn stood and flexed his arms. "Wouldn't niind mixing in it thyself. Judge, you're a life saver." ' The two friends strolled up the av- enue in the +dusk. C===I -1. For a block or so each ways groups of loiterers, and the curious, talked of the fights. The crowd gradually thickened before the doors of the club, Now and then some notable would appear; the McManus came; then followed the district chief of an adjoining principality in the -close feudal system of Tammany; or some sporting o_elebrity would dash up in a cab. • It was more the attraction of the club than any special fame of the contenders that drew these men. Pug Malone, the trainer, generally put up a show. Boys and men look- ed on, with the perpetual interest o3 expectation. Gilbert Van Horn and Judge Kelly, wearing silk opera hats, and with rakish cloaks over their evening dress, stepped from a red wheeled hansom. They had dressed the part; a hit of convention in the old city, for A mx They were off, shuffling above ;he resin c rimae words, then as now, held a familiar ring. "But, let this be a lesson to you," At the club, Bievoort, in the utmost eonfidenee, pouring out a liberal highball of Sherwood, tossed it off and told the whole story to Marvin Kelly, a gentleman who mingled pol- itics with law. "I recall the girl, Marvin, a handsome wench, a figure, if you follow me, and a way with her. Think of leaving my boy closeted With that" "IIe's a Van Ilorn all right. We11, here's luck to 'ern both." "How " and the men tossed off their drink. The affair never got outside of the Van Horn home. Servants in those days, were loyal; it was still in a time when servants talked, but not for publication. Gilbert Van Horn, in the fall of 1900, sat in the window of his Fifth Avenue club. Marvin Kelly, Judge of the State Supreme Court, man about town, gray, genial, came in as the long af, ternoon shaded into night. "Gilbert, old boy," Marvin Kelly drew • off his gloves and tossed his cane and hat on a vacant chair. "I'm, having a bit of fun tonight, on the Bowery, idown at Mellfanus'„place. What are you doing?” "Having a whiskey sour, what else?" . "All right. Dine with meat Mar- tin's, and then for the mixed -ale scrappers. Malone has a string of terriers, he's trying out a couple of heavies" "All right, Judge—Ah, Josephine. I want to tell you about her. "Yes." 'Well, you know, I'm rather lucky about, that. Getting to feel like a family man, home, you know, laugh- ter, and a bit of responsibility. She's entered at the Misses Filters. :Sort of has the crowd guessing. Gad, met her the other day, out walking With' a class. Really, I felt as if '1 was responsible for the whole lot of them. A. female gave ine a cold stare when I bowed to my ward." "Gilbert, all you need is a hint, and d you'll be e family man' yet.'; "I'm thinking seriously •of getting an automobile." ..They talked idly. "Looked at a Panhard the other day, just brought over•. The foreign mak- ers are•years ahead of us in that.", "It's a dangerous thing.',( Judge the Bowery, and the bunts, expected it of the quality. As they alighted Sol Bernfield holding John by the arm, passed the door of the club and entered the fighter's dressing room. It was crowded and a maze of talk and smoke greeted them. John had learned that he need` only fight one opponent at a time, and he knew that leather gloves were far less damaging than brass knuckles. His point of view wart typical of his experience. Generally he got five dollars for a fight, not an ineonsiderable amount, and here he might earn fifteen. "But you got to win. Remember it, John, you got to win to top the big money." John and Sol were being pushed along a narrow aisle to the ringside as Gilbert and the Judge took their seats, chatting with the McManus.- Blue smoke lifted in the air, drifting hi flat veils like un- steady saucers of mist. A hmn of talk rose between the scraps. It was a male audience; it was a time of hard heroic fighting. A hush fell over the hall as the announcer ap- peared. John had climbed into the ring, and a million fierce little eyes- terribly yesterribly close together, in pairs, seemed to be boring at him from all sides of an endless void. Immediately about hint, under streaming light, was stary reality. "The next bout, gentleman, an' I hope it Will be a tont,"—there was a slight pause filled with boos and jeers— "is between" --nand the stout roan under the floodlight in the ten- ter of the ring brought n piece of pa- per closer to his eyes—"is (between Rasper ,Jorgan" he waved his hand toward a corner of the squared •circle —a dark-skinned muscular youth rose to, the introduction, grinning at the crowd, "known as the 'Polack Won- der,' and"—lhis other hand pointed accusingly at John Breen — "and Fighting Lipvitch!" The fighters liad their bandages examined. Tho gloves. were adjusted, The stools were pulled from the corn. ers. All but the referee left the ring: The fighters shook hands. The Bong sounded. They were -off, shuffline above the rosined canvas. The cold' white light pelted'. down on them. Their bodies glistened; like animated specimens on some Monsters operate ing table. The calla .of the crowd, rose more -violent ' than ever. The Knock his block off! Bust him up! Mix-'erl Kill him!" interspersed with oaths, greeted the senses of John reeling: •backward from a hard- blew on .the nose. The warns salty blood trickling over his lips, sucking into his mouth, filled hint with an un- governable rage. Dancing before his narrowed •eyes he saw the thing he was after, a cruel fighter who, in those red moments epitomized the enmity of man. During the first minute of the round, as . the fighters, by their ac- tions, revealed a lack of science, many of the audience turned their backs to the ring, preferring to' dis- cuss matters • of greater interest while awaiting the main event of the evening, a much touted bout between third-rate heavies." But, as the Ras - per drew blood, and the fighting kyke showed spunk, the Faris, alert on the instant, turned back to the ring. The tiered seats and: the gal- lery bent over, glued to their •chairs and benches. The mephitic air, heavy with stale tobacco and foul with the fumes of .whiskey breath, vibrated under the impact of tight fighting gloves pummeling human flesh. The Kasper landed again and again, then John, seeing an opening, drove his hard right to the chin and laid bare the Iower teeth of the .Polack. Dark blood oozed from the cut lip in a sluggish stream. A quick left tc the jaw, partly blocked by the Ras - per, spattered blood over both. fight- ers; the gong sounded the end of the round. Cheers rose from the ring- side, eat calls and boos mingled with the din. The stamping of feet and the dust and smoke that lifted above the crowd attested their approval, Polack Wonder was picked to win; dries• of"iS,firthe, v,uliiteNwashed.;ltyltet They were getting blood and action for their money. Stools were shoved into the ring and the Kasper was" rushed to his corner.' A towel tosser, gulping large mouthfuls of water from a bot- tle, sprayed the contents over the face and body ,of his man, while two others -massaged his arms and legs, and advisers from the,Greenpoint section' whispered breathless instruc- tions • for the continuation on their man, and partisan fans shouted en- couragement. , "Ya got him, Rasp. Kill hint in the next! He's white he is! Plug his wind! Look out for his ...right! : He's a nut—crack him!" Fighting Lipvitch also had his ad; `herents. - Men yelled and howled as he went to his corner where Manager Sol, and a boy, worked over 'him in clumsy fashion., Sol Bernfield had faileli to provide Itis pian with prop ei handlers. John wiped his nose with a towel and gulped from a bot- tle'of water. Theti he sat back on his stool, his arms resting on the lower ropes of the ring. Ire was without the artificial aid for quick reeupera- tion accorded his opponent. An an- gry murmur arose from the excited crowd, brought to a close by the ringing of the gong for' the second round. The experienced Kasper ducked and dodged in a waiting game to wind 'and tire his opponent. 1 -loots and howls of rage greeted these un- popular nanoeuvers. "The Polack's stallin ." some one shouted and an- empty nempty flask whirled at him, missed and crashed. into the spectators in the opposite ringside sets,. A great cheer for John swept through the crowd as his right fist again smash- ed against the 'jaw of the dodging Kasper with the hard sharp thud .of a perfect blow, rocking his man, for an instant, against the ropes. John responded to the change of senti- ment with a burst of speed, landing right and left against the body in quick succession and jumping clear of a furious counterblow. Purple blot- ches rose under the impact of his fists. Then, after a running minute, a short hook to the wind ended the round. The ,gasper staggered to his corner, a look of doubt crossing hie battered face. John fell onto his stool, his nose again bleeding, a thick trickle of gore smearing down his throat' and over his heaving chest. At a whistle from the trainer two boys from the Samson Club elbowed Sol and his assistant out of the cor- ner, stripped off .their coats and be- gan rubbing and ;blowing water un- der direction of Pug Malone' A third, ntao swung a towel alternately from' his shoulders, fanning aid into John's face. They rubbed and kneaded his legs, fpr fighters tire there first. "Play, his wind,"• was the advice of Malone, "don't stop -mind your guard", and the third round was cal- led with the sudden clanging of the gong. C= 71a "Some is natural fighters, same as some is swimmers," Pug Malone was "expounding his, views in the dressing_( room of the 'Samson Sporting Club, after the fight. "They just naturally know how to fight, to put steam into a punch, an: kick, when' it lands. Why dammit, ninety-nine fighters out of a hundred, -bit like windmills. Now, that kicl--Breen's his name not Lip; shitz, he's no kyke—that kid's a born natural fighter." • The Jorgan-Lipvitch fight, ending by 'a clean knockout in the middle of the sixth round,, after a mill filled with fight from start to the count -of ten., completely overshadowed the main event, in which the mixed -ale pugilists, "Red Herring" and Hen- nessy and Jeff Keegan, floundered around in clumsy (buffeting while the crowd dwindled,in disgust.

Numerous cars have been pulled from sand and mud holes, and ane car was dragged from a Iake. Many farmers have been assisted in various ways. DUNGANNON: A stoneerusher has been installed in the gravel pit 11-2 miles west of Dungannon. Crushed stone from there will be used for resurfacing the four -mile stretch of road between Dungannon and Nile, which has been widened' and reconstructed. The advertisements bring you news of better things to have and easier ways to live. 1 You know that a manufacturer includes in the selling price of his product a percentage for press advertising—a percentage ranging from 3 to 5 per cent—sometimes, even more—when consumer -resistance is great or when the gross profit margin is very large. So, when a manu- facturer spends $50,000 a year on press adver- tising; it can be assumed that the total annual sales of hie product amount to from $1,000,000 to 61,500,000. Now, if you are stocking a nationally-adver, tised product—advertised in big city dailies and in nationally -circulated magazines, you have a right to see this product also being locally advertised—On this newspaper. Your total an- nual sales of the maker's product, joined to those of .its other local distributors (if there are others), entitle you to ,demand that the product be locally advertised in this newspaper. - If the maker or his representative talks 10 you about the advertising being done for the product in big city dailies and in national maga- zines, tell him that upwards •of 90 per cent. of the families in your sales territory do not sub- seri-be'to a big -city daily or to -a national maga- zine and that, therefore, heis patting on your shoulders the burden of creating and maintain- tS9 ing sales. Clearly, it is not right that poo should be re- quired o promote the sale of -a product in the territory 'served by this newspaper, without re- ceiving from the manufacturer the same kind and degree of sales assistance which he is giving retailers resident in cities where he is spending a lot of money on local advertising. Quite too often manufacturers don't want to advertise in local weekly newspapers, saying' that it costs too much.- They forget, however, that their sales in towns served by weekly news- papers provide an advertising fund which should be spent locally. Why should the contributions from local sales to the maker's advertising fund be spent outside the local sales territory? You have your business to build up, and to the extent that you •help manufacturers to obtain and retain sales in this territory, to that ex- tent you should receive local advertising assis- tance. You've got a first,class case to put before manufacturers who want you to stock and push the sales of their product, 'then why not present it, either direct, or through the maker's repre- sentative when he calls? , (N.B.--Cut -out this advertisement, and show it to the representa- tive of firms whose products you are asked to stock and push) 1
