COL. TEDDY" BEHIND PLAN
 TO ORGANIZE SOLDIERS

On receipt of word from Paris that 800 members of the American expedi- tionary force had taken the first step there towards organization of world war veterans association, Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt announced that meeting would be called in this country, "about the end of April", for the same purpose.

 He said that February 15, repre- sentative group of members of the national guard and national army overseas held preliminary confer ence in Paris to consider plans for the organization of an association similar to the Grand Army of the Republic, "with the purpose of promoting com radeship and serving the nation by keeping alive the spirit which caused American citizens to make such great sacrifices"

WHOLESALE CANDY MAKERS.

Last week the Confection Den add ed to their candy making equipment some expensive and modern machin- cry. A distillate burner and water cooled slab were the larger pieces and will cut the time required to make a batch of candy practically in half, which, of course, about doubles their capacity. Last week the firm also added the services of a helper to the candy making side of the business.
 These changes were made necessary by the recent and rapid increase in wholesale orders for candy. It seems that Borum and Ramsey are turning out candy that appeals to the trade of northern Arizona both in quality and in price, and it is rumored that they will soon be forced to move that into larger and separate quarters in order to take care of the business.

LOCAL EMPLOYMENT OFFICE
 IS NOT TO BE CLOSED

The information given out by Di- rector Densmore of the United States employment service that all but 56 of the offices of the service were to be closed, does not directly affect the local office. George Timberlake, local manager, says that he has every as- surance that his office will remain open. The probabilities are that the closing of other offices of the state will greatly increase the work of and the territory taken care of by this of- flee. So far as can be determined at this time Phoenix and Flagstaff are likely to have the only two offices in the state. Phoenix will likely take care of central and southern Arizona, while Flagstaff will look after the needs of the northern part of the state.

Unusual Arithmetic
Before Cbristmss days arrive

Before Christmas days arrive the
people of the United States will re.

bonds in spirit of patriotism and
now find it an investment, as well
as debt which they must eventual.
ly discharge. No usurer receives
the interest or had any part in fix
ing it. Our own citizens own the
bonds, and now with an agreeable
feeling. cut the coupons. Many
citizens bought bonds until it hurt" "
often making sacrifices and exercis-
ing unwonted economy. But how
we'll it paysl If those who receive
interest in the months remaining of
this year so elect they will be paid
in War Savings Stamps instead of
cash, an operation by which they
obtain compound interest. Now
here is pleasing and interesting
problem in mathematics. The
debtors are also creditors. The
debts are also investments. Much
of the money saved would not have
been saved but for the admirable
response to the Liberty Bond calls.
In dealing with this problem, what
is the complete answer? The com,
plexity of it is evident, but all is
commedable
More remains to be said. The
money was spent in an unavoid-
able war We won the war. The
country was called upon to prove
the infiexible courage of its man
hood-and womanhood. The result
was in keeping with the best tradi-
tions of the greatest republic Mill

A Fair Profit

The public does not take kindly to-
the communistic notions of the
bolshevists But it is sick of pro-
fiteers who gorge themselves with
exorbitant gains.
Securities reasonably safe yet re-
presenting some slight degree Of
risk, bring about 6 per cent When
a man or a group of men invest
their capital in a business depen-
dent on their own skill and energy
and subject to the fluctuations Of
the times. they take many more
chances They are entitled to some
thing more of profit. Public senti-
ment would not probably be averse
to seeing them earn 8 or 10 per
cent, after paying them salaries
such as they could earn in the open
market.
Many of the great corporations
however. as their published earn
ines show, have gone far beyond
this. They are appealing to invest
ors on the ground that they earn Is.

Small businesses sometimes seem

The bulk of the profiteering is not
done by this class of trade, but by
big concerns that dominate the

Therefore it behoves every one of
you to learn to read this paper day
by day with two purposes One,
that you may post yourself upon
the general news. The other, that
you may post yourself upon the ad
vertising news.
The day is past when anyone can
afford to overlook this second feat
ure. II is the road to economy in
every home. There isn't a day
passes when money cannot be saw
ed or when better goods cannot be
bought for the same money simply
by following carefully the advertis.
ing news that is published.
The reason for this is very sim
pie: advertising is the cheapest,
quickest and best method of sales
manship that has yet been found
Therefore the most progress mer.
chants advertise,
And naturally, when you want
the cheapest or the best article of
any kind. it is fair to assume that
the most progressive men will have
it for sale.
Every shrewd merchant adver
tises because there are thousands of
you readers eager to see his adver.
tisine when ii appears
He knows that you are looking
for whatever good merchandise
news he has to offer. And if any
merchant so far discounts your
value to him as not to advertise iU
the paper you read. you can equal,
ly well afford to discount his value
to you.
If any merchant is 80 careless az
to overlook the great combined
purchasing value of thousands o.
you readers every day, the chance,
are he is overlooking many a gooc
merchandise value when it comes
his turn to 90 into the markets anc
buy.
So learn, not only to read tht
advertising news in this paper, bu
learn also to rely upon it for every
thing you need.
