Cleveland is so resentful at the million
and a half population which it received
at Washington that the Mayor of the city
sent Washington protest. "The Detroit
News" under the caption of "No, Thank
YOU" asserts the Census Bureau "can
furnish estimates of population for al
most any purpose, and the estimates are
likely to differ with the purposes for
which they are framed" Thus for draft
ing men the Detroit estimate is 1921 ,924,
while for the sale of Liberty Bonds it is
$4,000. And Cleveland, now playing Sec
ond fiddle to Detroit, if the Census Bu-
reau is to be believed, "is not fattered,
but only amused by the absurd estimate
of the Census Bureau that the population
of this city is 1,125,440," according to

Our Modern Selling Method Saves

o"' "oue'" oe'''"g metnou caves lou Money
Selling for cash cuts out the bookkeepers and
collectors salary besides it eliminates the loss from
bad accounts One price to all and that is the lowest
every day in the year, No special mark-ups to offset
the so-called special mark downs. The smallest child
can shop at The Golden Rule just cheaply as the
grownups who dicker for price concessions for they
never get it. You are absolutely certain that your
neighbor pays the same price for the same goods
you do. Can you say that about competitors who
have more than one price?

were oHe-cent pieces. $1,000. .00o were
dimes and 5000 900 were nick6ls. Profit
on coinage amounted to $10,4.S.00
In view of the governments plan OF
acquiring contracts for most Of the coun-
try's silver output in the coming year for
its own and allied coinage needs, special
interest attached to Mr. Bakers report
that 6,16l. 900 ounces OF silver was bought

FOR CHRISTMAS FURLoUGHs.
Proposed in Representative Tilson's
Bill for New England Troops.

Ten-day Christmas furloughs for New
England troops in southern training
camps were proposed to the War De-
partment today by Representative Til
son of Connecticut.
1t has been necessary to transfer
some 5000 of the New England drafted
men from Camp Devens. Mass, to fill
up the southern divisions. The usual
week. end furlonghs would do them no
good.
Should the proposal be approved, the
same policy probably would be extend
ed to other drafted men far from home.
1t appeared, possible, however, that the
numbers of men involved would be so
great as to forbid the adoption of such
a policy for lack of transportation and
also because of the delay in the train
ing of the troops.
