ANTWERP GREATLY EXCITED.

Washington, Oct. 1s-Great excite- ment was created in Antwerp when President Wilson's reply to the Ger man peace note was received, accord ing to an official despatch yesterday from Amsterdam. The Belgian flag was hoisted on a housetop, in defiance of the Germans, and kept there for an hour. Belgian flags were kept flying all day in villages near Antwerp, Charleroi and Namur.

WHY ADVERTISED
 STORES SUCCEED

When a store advertises judiciously, it attracts public attention and it in creases it's business. But the increase of receipts is not usually equaled by a corresponding increase of expense. Most stores could double their bus mess without doubling the number of clerks, or doubling their rent, light, heat and other charges.
 Consequently the charge per article for this so-called overhead" expense, keeps decreasing as the business grows. If receipts double, and costs of doing business increase only 50 per cent. 1t is manifest that the overhead cost for each article sold Is proportion ately less. As volume of business in creases, the business is more econom- ically done, and the cost of moving each separate article is reduced. The public gets the difference in lower prices.

Some merchants think because many people pass their door every day, they ldonH need to advertise. Only trouble with that theory is that the people pass on to visit some store that does advertise.

KENYON DEMANDS!
 NATIONAL BUDGET
Blames Congress for Waste Under Present System of
 Making Appropriations.

Washington, Oct. 1S-Senator Ken yon charged Congress and Congress alone yesterday with responsibility for refusing to adopt the budget policy in regard to appropriations and said lack of any plan in Congress in making appropriations has led to ex- travagance, inef1ciency and waste.
 s"The people of the United States" said Senotor Kenyqon, have a right to demand that their money be ap propriated, expended and accounted for in some systematic intelligent business way and that public dollar should do as much work as, private dollar"
 Senator Kenyon reviewed the situa- ton with regard to appropriations for the current fiscal year and predicted there was a reasonable possibility that before all loose ends had been tied and the business of the year wound up it would be shown that the gross expenditures of the nation had been 1000, 100000.
 The Senator quoted Chairman Sher1ey of the House Appropriations Committee as having placed the total appropriations made by the second session of the Sixty-f1fth Congress al $2S,791, ,241,773, and to this must be added the following tabulation: Urgent deficiency .....$ 100,200,000 Food stimulation bill .. 11,212, ,283 Mineral bill ....... 1O,5OO, 900 New deficiency bill for
