Let each man see to 1t that the dedication Is in his own heart, the high purpose of the nation in Bis own mind, ruler of his own will anG desire.
 I stand here and have taken the high and solemn oath to which you have been audience because the people of the United States have chosen me for this august delegation of power and have by their gracious Judgment named me their leader 6 affairs. I know now what the task means I realize to the full the responsi- Mlity which it involves. 1 pray God l may ke given the wisdom and the prudence to do my duty in the true spirit of this great people. I am their servant and can sue eeed only as they sustain and guide me By their confidence and their counsel.
 For a United America.
 The thing I shall count upon, tho thing without which neither counsel nor action will avail, is the unity of America-an America united in feeling, in purpose and fn it's vision of duty, of opportunity and of service. We are to beware of all men Swho would turn the tasks and the necessi- ties of the nation to their own private profit or use them for the building up of private power; beware that no faction or aisloyal intrigue break the harmony or smbarrass the spirit of our people; be ware that our government be kept pure snd incorrupt in all its parts.
 United alike in the conception of our duty and in the high resolve to perform it fn the face of all men, let us dedicate our selves to the great task to which we must HOW set our hand. For myself, I beg your tolerance, your countenance and your united aid The shadows that now lie dark wpon our path will soon be dispelled, and we shall walk with the light all about us If we be but true to ourselves-to our. selves as we have wished to be known in the counsels of the world and in the thought of all those who love liberty and justice and the right exalted.

 Ones Take Oath.

Thomas Fl. Marshall of Indiana took she oath of office as vice president of the United States at the opening of the special session of the senate of the Sixty-ffth congress called by President Wilson to transact executive business.

 A solemn dignity marked the cere- mony coincident with the organization of the senate. President Wilson occu- pied a seat in front of the vice presi- dents desk. The members of the Unit ed States supreme court, garbed in their somber black robes, occupied prom snent seats in the front of the chamber.

SMALL LOT BUYING.

A recent purchaser of a bag o.
potatoes for which he paid 1913
found inside a note from the mar
who grew the same, saying that ht
received only 1925 for them. In
cidents like this set the helpless
consumer to thinking.
The public is ground in be.
tween set Of adverse cosditio;,s
many Of which can not be helped
save possibly by government in
reference. Meanwhile part OF
the trouble is the outgrowth of
popular habits. and might be rem
edied.
For one thing, the consuming
public has got into the habit OF
buying foods like potatoes in very
small lots. It costs about as
much to cart peck of potatoes to
a man s door as to take several
barrels. Consequently the cost
Of all these little separate deliv-
cries is added together.
As consequence Of land to
mouth purchasing, the grocer
must do hand to mouth ordering.
He must be able to get on any day
a sufficient supply to meet the
little demands of a hundred dif-
ferent families. This makes nee
essary an elaborate system Of
delivery by some wholesaler.
Other middlemen make a spec
ialty of storing, holding, and
trading a speciality of buying
them from the producer. For
each pair Of hands of this devious
journey to the consumer, q profit
and costly charges these potatoes,
and still others make are added.
Formerly more people used to
store potatoes and other veg
etables in their easements, and
they had cellars in which these
foods would keep. Now in the
cities millions of people live in
flats without storage facilities.
All through the North, houses
are heated with furnaces that
spoil the easements for storage.
If in some way consumers could
buy seasons supply and have
some place for storage where
would keep. they
would save many charges and be

You say, Mr.. Merchant, that
you don't have to advertise be-
cause you have been in business
so long that everybody knows
you. Well, there is certain mail
order concern in Chicago that
has probably been in business as
long as you have, and we will
bet a nickle to a ginger cake that
every person that reads these
lines can call the name of that
firm. And we will bet, further,
that over half of your custom

in their homes right now. They
see the value of advertising.

an economic situation in that country de-
handing instant relief, permitting no de-
lay whatever and fraught with conse
uuences over which the Swiss authorities
might have no control, provided the sup
plies imperatively needed are not directly

prompted Vance c. Mccormick, head OF
the war trade board, to announce in Paris
the conclusion of an agreement respecting
exports from the United States to Swift
zerland
Switzerland had made no threat, it was
learned on authority, but did not affect
to conceal any part OF a critical condition
one which, it was stated might compel
that nation. which already obtains her
coal from Germany, to look to Germany
also for foodstuffs. This, it was said, was
a possibility which the allied govern
ments would not like to contemplate. In
this connection, IL was learned that at
the Paris inter allied conference, COM
plete agreement was reached between the
American and allied delegates concerning
the blockade policy.
Switzerland, having no ships of her
OWN faces a far more serious problem
than other neutral nations, it was pointed
out by an official. Her dependence upor
the United States and the allies on the
one hand, or upon Germany on the other
is complete She cannot obtain the neees
, saries of life from the allies, and Is com
PEELED to look to the United States anC
the allies to make it possible for her t
charter or otherwise obtain the use o
bottoms. and to import raw material
necessary for the maintenance OF Swis
! industries in addition to food commodi
ties.
