CHAIRMAN CALLS WASTE IN ARMY
 DISCRIMINATING
Reavis Asserts Committee Has Found 1000 Cars
 Going to Ruin.

New York, Oct. 1T - Representa- tive Charles F. Reavis, chairman of the sub committee of the Graham committee of the House which for weeks has been Investigating alleged wasteful methods of the War De- partment, said recently that his re- port would be made within the next few days Among the things he de- clares have been disclosed by the investiga ton are:
 The War Department is in posses sion of AT, GOO automobiles more than the army needs, and a large propor- tion Of these machines have, since November last, been exposed to rain, frost and sun without any sort of protection
 4The War Department required shipments under contracts amount ing to 70,130 new cars, with a money value to the government of $175, ,000,- 900, since the war was over.
 Brigodier General Drake, chief of the motor transportation service, tes- tifed before the Reavis committee that from Jan. up to Sept. last he had sent 470 requests to the sales department to dispose of these cars, or some of them, and not one had been sold.

to You.

to Ou.
 Many farmers who handle consid- erabIe quantities of produce find it profitable to use distinctive printed wrappers. Another simple means Of advertising is -eatly printed gummed labels for use or the outside of pack ages sent by parcel post or express.
 advertisements in local or metro poIitan papers should be short and should give q description of the goods with the prices, and the name and address of the person advertising.
 What Advertiser Should Know
 The person who advertises must offer a product that is wanted by the persons who read the paper at the time the product is advertised, in the places where the paper has a circu- latiOn. In other words. he must know what to advertise, when to ad- vertise, and where to advertise. The following are suggested forms for parcel post classified advertising:
 Fresh eggs direct from farm. Send
 - for three dozen delivered by parcel post, prepaid. Fair View Farm, Blank, Va.
 Butter, direct from dairy. Fresh, clean and sweet. Send - for two pounds, delivered postpaid by parcel post. Fair View Farm. Blank, Va.
 Cherries from the tree to you by prepaid parcel post. Picked the day they are mailed. Send - cents for
 - quarts to Fair View Farm. Blank, Va.
 Typical of the small number of farmers who have entered the field of national advertising is one in a, midGle-western State, who has built up a countrywide trade in his spe- ciaI brand of homemade sausage by using the advertising columns of pub fications supplemented by cleverly prepared pamphlets and the use of distinctive wrappers.

MANY GERMAN
 SUBS DESTROYED

London, Oct. 1.-The net bag of German submarines destroyed by the American, French and British na- vies during the war was 200 out of a total of 370 completed by the enemy up to the armistice, according to the War Cabinet Blue Book.

FARMERS, TOD, HAVE FOUND
 TT PAYS TO ADVERTISE" Many Methods, Often Overlooked, by Which Con- sun1ers May be Made Customers for Products
 Raised on the Farm.

Mention advertising to the old-ttme farmer ard he thinks of large dis play type announcements more or less expensively illustrated. But mod err farmers have found scores of ways by which they can attract buy CTS for their products. The sugges- lions offered herewith are designed particularly for he farmer who is io a position to supply a given grade of goods in sufficient quantities to meet a stable demand. Butter, eggs, live and dressed poultry, dressed meat, home-rendered lard, sausage, fruit and vegetables are among the commodities the sales of which can be bettered by some form of farm ad- vertising.
 There are many means of direct appeal to buyers which are made particularly profitable by the tremen- . dOus increase in auto travel. Today. h t farm is remo-e indeed which is nos passed many times a week by town or city motorists, the majority of whom are possible customers for the farmer Consequently he must look well to the appearance of his place. Perhaps unsightly features of which he Is not conscious exist, but the rTsse--by, keen to discern these signs of laxness, hesitates to pur- chase at such farm.
 Uses for Bulletin Boards
 A bulletin board near the front gate is a big asset if carefully pre- pared. In addition to the name of the farm or the farm owner, 1t should state in simple, large type the kinds of produce for sale and the prices Some farmers have found supple nentary notices, placed at Q proper distance on either Side of the main bulletin board. very valuable in call ing attention to the latter. Suggest wording for thea5 follows:

 There are various ways in which the farm name can be displayed to the owners financial advantage. Any farm will be better remembered by passing strangers # its name appears in neat lettering over the face of a barn. The farmer who possesses an auto truck-and he is legion these days-is overlooking a. splendid ad- vertising opportunity if he does not have the aame of his farm and his special products neatly lettered on the side of his vehicle. Then every trip to town is q. reminder to hun dreds perhaps thousands, of people tha- the owner is still lon the map' One dairy farmer who built up a large rU-ail trade not only carried on his vehicles the name of his farm but made all his trucks and wagons even more distinctive by painting them a, dark yellow.

CzECHOSLOvAKS GIVEN
RIGHT TO ESCHEW LATIN
The Vatican, However, Ignores Pc.
q tition for Abolition Of Cell
Is bacy for Priests.
: BY ANTHONY CZARNECKL.
, Cable to The Star and Chicago
Daily News. Copyright, 1919.


ROME. October 2s.-The groups of
Czechoslovak priests who. after a
conference petitioned the Vatican for
various reforms. including the use Of
the Czech and Slovak languages in
the church service instead of Latin
and ahe abolition Of celibacy for the
priests in Czechoslavakia. have been
given their answer by the church au-
thoritieS, according to a statement
made to me by a leading church OFF,
cial here today. So far as the re-
quest for the abolition of celibacy is
concerned the Vatican has ignored
it.. 1t is understood that its silence
isa most eloquent refusal.
With reference to the petition for
the use of the Czech and Slovak Ian
guages in place of Latin, the reply
indicates that in the reading of the
epistle and the gospel during mass
these languages may be used. They
will also be permitted at funeral and
other services, except in liturgicai
prayers and services.
The new archbishop, DR.. Kordac OF
Prague Immediately upon his install
lation as head of the principal
Czechoslovak see, will take steps to
promulgate the necessary dictum
upon the various questions which
groups of the Czechoslovak clergy
submitted to the Roman Catholic
Church authorities, as described by
me in a recent cable message from
