ADVERTISING them to the public.
the manufacturer could depend on a
definite number OF repeat sales, Once
pleased, the consumer would coma
back for more OF the same brand.
This stimulated the invention and use
OF laoor-saVtng machinery, whereby
the cost OF hand-work was renIaced
by the more uniform and cheaner
machine-work, selling expenses were
reduced, and everybody along the line
from producer to consumer received
the benefit.
Instead of making a small profit on
a few sales, advertising enables the
manufacturer to make a small profit
on many sales. His total profit is
larger than formerly, and the differ
ence between the profit he used to
make and what he now makes is d.
Vlded between the producer of raw
products the merchant who sells the
finished product, and you who con-
sumo It.
Consider, for example, the Ford ALL

Through the economies of production

reduced. Users Of Ford cars receive

THE WRONG voN MoLTKE.

In the issue of the Herald on June Lieutenant General Helmeth Von Moltke of the supplementary general staff of the German army during a ses- sion of the Reichstag. In its account of Won Moltke's life, the article stated that This intimate affiliation with the Christian Science movement was re- garded as a weakness wholly out of place in an army leader" The Her aid was informed today by autho ori- ties of the Christian Science church, through a local member, that Lieuten- ant General Helmeth Won Moltke was not affiliated with the church and that it is Count Helmeth Von Moltke Of Breslau, Silesia, Germany, who is a member of the church.

means of recreation have been pro- vided and where his accommodations are to be. The member himself may designate the hours in which he is willing to take part in the military drill and will find himself under few restrictions outside of those to be ex- pected in any club. It is figured that the proposed fee will pay the neces- sary amount to conduct the barracks and to establish a sinking fund for the redemption of bonds.
 It is planned to make four divisions of the United States in establishing these leagues but barracks will be placed in every town where the mem bership warrants it.
 Whether the plan is finally found feasible or not it certainly seems a step in the right direction The militia serves it's purpose very well but there are large numbers in every city who would prefer the order of things as suggested in this new step.

German Influence" in Mexico.
(New York Times.)


 Diplomats representing the Allie9 Powers in Mexico. according to re ports, are of the opinion that German influences have been working on Car ranza in an effort to create a situa- ton that might embarrass tha enemies of the Central Powers"
 Motives might be pointed out whick would lend some support to this be- lief. Germans might want to get Us into war with Mexico in order to leave them a free hand with their U-boats- If we were fighting the Mexicans ws should withhold supplies of munitions from the Allies in order to furnish them to our own troops. Moreover, blockade of Mexico, as an incident of the war, would cut off one greeA source of England's supply of oil fuel fer her navy
 There is, however, a valid and pre- sontable argument against the theory. We have been told that the Ger. roans divide the population of the United States in this manner; O. the 100.0OO,OO0 or so of our people, 60 per cent. sympathize with the Allies, 30 per cent. sympathize with the Teutonic Powers the other 10 Ter cent are indifferent Proof of  German intrigue in Mexico to pro- yoke hostilities with the United States would turn against the Imperial Gov ernment at least 90 per cent of the people here upon whose sympathy 1t counts, and the whole of the indif- fcrent 10 per cent. Under that re- 8 arrangement, per cent. of tN% American people would give their sympathy to Germany. That estimate or guess is at least as plausible ana probable as the German apportion- ment of our interest and sympathy.
 Interference in Mexican affairs in the manner believed or charged would be a highly unprof1table venture for Germany. If her responsible states men are accustomed to the study of political balance sheets, 1t is not likely that they would embark in an under taking so disastrous.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in exs. - changes that come to the Herald Office
Gasoline And Good Manners.
(Richmond Times-Dispatch).

N1NlCIlllOuu IlIu6S-DlSpdtCn). J..
 Why the possession of an automo- bile should so often work a disastrous change in ordinarily considerate per sons is one of the psychological phen- omena that scientists as yet have not explained. Automobilists who would be hurt to the quick if accused of be- ing ill-mannered, neverth eless con- stantly indulge in practices which convict them of callous inconsistencies ness of the comfort and convenience of others. And after all, good mau- ners are nothing in the world but a due regard for the feelings of others
 Yet the average man, generally Well-mannered and considerate, starts his automobile and throws good man. ners to the winds. Late at night passing houses whose occupants have long been in bed, he wakes the hours with his horn, or in order to save a fanc1ed ounce or two of power opens wide his muffler and with it the eyes of would-be sleepers. Almost 1t would seem that, like gasoline anR whiskey, gasoline and good manner will not mix

FUNDS FOR THE FOURTH

The subject of war is occupying the attention of every public minded citizen of this city as well as the rest of the United States. A pertinent question just now might be asked re- garding the Chamber of Commerce as to the expenditure of funds for the annual Fourth of July celebration, part of which have been collected if we are not misinformed. At a time when part of the populace is ready for war an Independence Day cele- bration would be nightly out of place. There is no surety that our flag will but in case that 1t is it would look more like cowardice than patriotism to hold a celebration here.
 The raising of funds should not be doubtedly prove that there is any number of places to use the money should hostilities open. Tobacco, for instance, is one of the most acceptable might also develop for money for fur thering relief work, for aiding the Red Cross, in fact for any purpose that the imagination of the donor should suggest. Coin of the realm will be a valuable antidote for many ills that follow in the wake of war.
 Let the raising of a fund go on. Let of a break, the money will be expend- ed where the Chamber of Commerce deems that it will do the most good, and may there be plenty of it forth coming.

NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
(New Haven Union).

\NSW J1tiFeh U llIOu Nobody takes the Hartford Cour- ants political news" or views seri- ously because 1t is we'll recognized that it's editor, Charles Hopkins Clark, is so steeped in partisan bias, and blinded by it, that his paper, what ever it's degree of excellence in other directions, is gouty when it comes to things political. Under the caption:
 ''The Courant's Crocodile Tears" that papers contemporary In the cap- ital, the Hartford Post, says
 The Courant does not fool The Post with it's sarcastic condolences to MT. Cummings, nor does 1t fool any intelligent Democrat Or Independent voter in Connecticut.
 MT. Cummings was not keen for the job of National Chairman. He was a candidate only in the sense that if MT. Wilson desired him to serve he would do so, regardless of his own plans and desires. Had the Courant been represented at St. Louis this fact would have been quite clear
 Fortunately for Connecticut Demo- crats, the eIetcion of Vance McCor- mick releases MT. Cummings from the performance of an eXaCting task, cov- ering all the States and taking most of his time and attention away from Connecticut and permits him to be- come a candidate for the United States senate to succeed Senator Me Lean, an opportunity to which Mir. Cummings has long looked forward.
 Here is where the real disap- pointment to the Courant comes in and not at the fact that Mccormick and not Cummings was chosen Ma tional Chairman
 Charles Hopkins Clark the Cour- ants editor, who supported his old time friend and fellow townsman, Judge Henney before reaching Chi cago, and then voted for John King of Bridgeport, who is one good politi- elan, is not a man to be trusted in his political statements. Partisan exDe- diency is MT. Clark's entire creed and when it comes to crocodile tears he is some Weeper. For instance, there is , the Brooker incident.

West Virginia Has 9 Birthday.

(NeW York SUn.)
 Just fifty-three years ago West Virginia became a state, the last east of the Mississippi to be admitted to the Union. This week the whole 1 Commonwealth is celebrating the an- niversary With an unusual degree of state and national pride and much re- Jo1c1ng over the prosperity that the years have brought.
 Old Linsly Institute, WheeIng the first home of the States government, is the fountain of patriotic inspira- ton. From the northernmost tip of the Panhandle to Squire Jim and Horsepen, on the North Carolina bor- der West Virginia spreads her feast, State grown, State baked and cooked; she serves it in State made china and glass, and, except in some favored oases where the cheering mountain dew still descends, drinks her toasts in spring water
 Her birthday is one of the longest days of the year; but it takes a long day to tell of her rise from poverty to her present high rank as a pro- ducer of wealth from her own nat ura1 resources.
 West Virginia was a child of war. The siege of Vicksburg was at it's height on the day she was born. Get tysburg was fought ten days after her first Governor was inaugurated Of her scant population she furnished 38,000 soldiers to preserve the Union. In the present crisis she answers the call for one regiment by offering two ready for the field. If there must be fighting, the riflemen from the noun tains are "just achin'" for a chance.

Among the horrors of war must be reckoned the war poet" He is here, there, everywhere, although some times it Is a she. Sex is no barrier. In fact it seems as if a barrier does not exist. Stirred by martial spirit, the poet takes his pen in hand and proceeds to commit an atrocity, com pared with which the invasion of Bel gium is an afternoon tea. With the price of paper on the ascendency it's going to be a costly indoor sport, but if past experience counts for aught, we do not believe this will cause blight in the war poetry crop.

Whereas in ether years some 5,OO0,OO0 pounds ot prunes were consumed by the populace, now the crop has fallen to 55,OO0,0O0 pounds consumed annually Looking over other statistics it IS found there are just as many board ing houses in the United States as ever. There is something radically wrong with the prune market.

ACTION OF THE DOCTORS

The action of the New Britain phy- sicians in agreeing to give their ser vices, free of charge, to any mem bers of the families of guardsmen now ready for warfare is deserving of the highest commendation. One of the greatest needs, next to food and cloth ing, of the dependents of those who are at the front or in camp will prob ably be that of the attendance of re- liable physicians. It might also prove to be one of the greatest expenses and the fact that local doctors are ready to serve the families will remove a great deal from the shoulders of the community. At a time when all who stay at home must assist in aiding the families of those at the front any of the burdens will be ap- preciated.
