One mail order house in Chicago
had sales amounting to 1928, 599. 2S7,
last year, a gain of % per cent over the
previous year. The net earnings of
the corporation were over $l3, 900, GOO.
And had it not been for advertising, it
would not have done one per cent of
that business. 1t is probable that the
total advertising done amounted to as
the net earnings. At the same time,
these figures show that the mail order
house must have even a larger margin
of profit on its goods than the local
merchants. There is only one way to
combat the growing mail order octopus,
and that it for the local merchant to
resort to advertising, where he has an
advantage in being able to advertise at
less than 20 per cent of the cost OF that
of the mail order house Mail order
houses are spending not less than 5 per
cent, and from that to 10 per cent, on
their gross sales. simply TO reach their
customers. They keep everlastingly

Vigilance Committee.

The vigilance committee of colonial
times, an unauthorized, loosely con-
nected body Of citizens representing
public opinion, was formed in the 13
American colonies Immediately pre-
ceding the revolution. Its object pri-
marily was to enforce the agreement
not TO use British products, but later
the scope was enlarged, investigation
being made as to suspected persons
loyalty to the American cause and
punishment being melted out 10 Tories.
AT first the activities were secret.
The participants in the Boston tea
party were vigilance committeeman.
Where this sub rosa movement orig
mated Is hard TO determine; nearly ey-
cry community had its vigilance com

HARDLY a day goes by that the news
papers of the state do not get matter
from some state department for publ
cation with the request, please pub
lish, as there are no funds for the pur-
pose. IL the great state Of Wiscon-
ain can't pay for its publicity, it is high
time that every newspaper in the state
turned down all such matter. II the
Civil Service department needs cook
or matron. a gardener or engineer for
some state institution, it should adyer-
tise for the help desired, and not ask
the newspapers to gratutiously publish
their notices II state departments
have no funds for advertising purposes
they should get fund or not sponge
off the newspapers of the state, having
hard enough times as it is, to make
both ends meet, without being at the
expense of publishing matter free for
the state. Monroe Journal

Bethlehem's Bid on Shells
for the United States Navy

To The American People:
The Secretary of the Navy has awarded
contracts amounting TO over $4,000, 900
TO British bidder for Ia and l6-inch
projectiles for the Navy because Of very
much lower prices offered BY the English
bidders.
Weknow nothing Of the basis upon which
the British bids were made, but the pub
lie is entitled TO know the facts upon
which we ourselves bid for this work.
Two years ago we took contracts
to make 1900 I4-inch shells at
price of sl,5l5,0OO. Up to now
not a single shell has been ac-
ceptcd by the Government, al
though we have expended, in
wages, materials, etc, on these
orders s522 1871, and we have not
received SINGLE DOLLAR on
these contracts.
In addition. a literal Interpretation ID
the contract might make az liable fos
penalties amounting To so75,0l6
In the light of our experience, and hav-
ing no other basis, we bid for l6-inch
shells approximately the same rate per
pound as that which the Navy Depart
ment actually awarded l4-inch shell
contract one year ago.

PRICE OF SHOES EXPLAINED
Musical Comedy Footwear, Not War,
Sent the Cost of Footwear
Up, Says Writer.

An interesting story which is being
widely reprinted credits the high cost
of shoes to q brilliant idea which
Matched in the brain of q California
shoe retailer, according to the Louis
vile COurier-JOurnal. The writer OF
the story, which appeared first in a
Western newspaper, says that the Los
Angeles merchant despaired of finding
sails for his wares among Eastern
women who were motoring in Cali
fornia. He hit upon the plan Of intro
ducing startling varieties Of footwear
at fancy prices. He bought up a large
quantity of ladies boots" with high
tops in fancy colors. They were the
sort of 'boots" that had been seen
