vote will go to Mr.. Marsh, and he will
be elected by an Overwhelming major

position because of his untiring party

Supplies Chief Problem.
No reports from General Pershing
were received during the day, but his
silence caused no uneasiness at head
quarters, where the chief concern con-
tinued to be the problem of getting
supplies into Mexico without rail-
road.
Advices from Washington that the
state department had prepared a mem
orandum urging Carranza to decide the
question of using the railroad without
waiting for the ratification of the pro-
tocol revived the hope that perhaps
by Thursday the stores held at Ell Paso
may be forwarded to some field depot

SIP, 665,725 worth of merchandise
in a single year at profit of $1O,-
100000 after all over head expenses
had been deducted. If the average
country merchant could make as
good a per cent net on his smaller
sales he would clean up $4,000 per
annum or better which is more than
many merchants make. Even ten

cent net profit on it's sales after ex-
penses of doing business have been
paid.
The small merchant is not out of
business by any means. Neither is
the cross roads store. Slip shod me-
thods, however, can no longer make
profits. Whether in merchandising
or in any other business trade the
profits arise greatly out of what is
saved and not from big percentages.
The volume of business done at the
