The United States shorid be ready

countries will permit.
Their peop'cs were as truly fight

the struggle. We have come thru
the war practically unscathed. Our
national wealth has increased by fifty

French losses were almost as great
as that during the month of Sep
tcmber alone. While we are mourn
ing our thousands, the allies are
mourning their millions. We have
heard repeatedly of the splendid ap-
pearance of our soldiers as com
pared with those OF the allies. Those
soldiers are practically all between
the ages of twenty-one and thirty
one. When we male Such a COM
parison, then our modesty reminds
us that practically all the physically
fit French and British men of those
ages are either incar'c'tatcd ~

America was her boasting; since the
war there has been a marked change
of attitude in that respect. Claims
as to the rights Of America at the
proposed peace conference are heard
but rarely, but thoughtful people
everywhere talk earnestly of the debt
Of gratitude that we owe to our al
lies for saving us harmless so long
as they did, We feel that we cam

If we can Judge by the reports of
writer's and those recently returned
from France, it would seem that the
admiration of the French so long
prevalent in America has during the
war been changed into a sentiment
which is almost a passionate love
The patriotic women Of America
can vitalize that love by providing
with their needles the garments So

AN ELIMINATION DOESN'T ELM
MATE

Every now and then the economist
decide that the middleman is unnec-
cessary and begin a movement to
eliminate him. North Dakota has
lately embarkedupon such project
by means of which it hopes, with the
assistance of the state, to enable the
producer to sell direct to the consum-
er.
But William II. Ingersoll, who has
been making an investigation of the
division of the consumers dollar,
points out in the current isue of the
National Civic Federation Review,
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1919-08-28

that direction has simply resulted In
substituting something else.
Mr.. Ingersolls conclusions are
based upon the study of forty typical
factories producing food, drugs, hard
ware, supplies. shoes, dry goods,
clothing, house furnishings, etc. He
finds the consumers dollar to be d.
yided thus:
Cost Of production. 81 Cents
Cost Of selling. g..........12 cents
Factory profit. ............ 4 cents
Wholesalers expense .... 10 cents
Wholesalers profit ....... 3 cents
Retailers expense ...... .2S cents
Retailers profit ......... 6 cents
100 cents
Eighty-eight cents out of every
dollar spent by the consumer rep
resents expense; IL cents represents
profit. II the middleman could be
eliminated, it is obvious that his ex-
pense and his profit, totalling 13 cts,
could be saved to the consumer.
And so Mr.. Ingersoll looked into
this question, and found that where
ever it had been attempted. those
who had made the experiment had
simply succeeded in substituting
some other agency without cutting
out a single penny of the l3 cents
now collected by the jobber.
The great retail stores and the
chain stores. which have tried to do
without the middleman have, accord
ing to this investigator, simply SUBJ
stituted their own warerooms and
services for that performed by the
jobber. And 1t has cost them just
as much. I'VE have found" he says.
"no way of eliminating the labor
distribution. Our experiments In
new forms OF distributors have not
/, disclosed economics in the perform
ance of the work We have not dis
covered an exhorbitant profit alb
sorbed by the 'grasping middleman.
Cooperating movements are equal
ly discouraging, he finds. They save
no labor. and do not appear to be
more capably managed. and they
suffer several material disadvantages
in comparison with the Independent
stores" The cooperative move
ments of Great Britain, about which
SO much is heard, are equally dis
appointing. Great as they are" he
writes, "and involving hundreds of
millions annually, they are not large
enough to have made ripple on the
surface Of Britain's trade. Side by
side the older wholesale and retail
houses successfully compete with
them for trade, smaller though they
are and without tho psychological
advantage of having the consumers
as members" or shareholders. I"
So much for the cooperative store
great many businesses. he finds, turn
over their stocks too slowly. If
stocks may be turned over six times a
year instead of one, economies may
be effected because the overhead is
just as great in one case as the other.
1t is not possible to reduce costs in
any other way. The wholesaler per-
forms service for which he re-
ceives the cost plus a small profit.
He cannot be eliminated because the
service must still be performed. and
no more economical scheme has yet
been devised for rendering it.-Pio-

 The several railroads entering She f. field have made some extensive inn provements during the past year. Ad- ditional yard trackage has been laid, larger freight houses and office quar- terS have been built. and more ade- quate repair shop facilities established. And these improvements will be fol lowed by the erection of d handsome and modern union station. The Shef field Chamber of Commeice is sponsor ing a movement for larger and more Hooernly equipped union station with the view of bringing abou: prompt de- clsion on the part of the railroads to begin its erection.
