WITH SUPPLIES
American Doughboy Chauf-

vice When r c Appeals

NISH, June II (By MaiD-Amer-
lean doughboy chautfeurs from the
Western front have done their bit TO
help Serbia. With the same dash and
determination they displayed carry
ing up ammunition to the 75's IN the
Argonne, they have pushed their
trucks over the so-called "impass-
able" roads of Serbia and have
brought thousands of tons OF des-
perately needed food, clothing ana
medicines to starving mountain ham,
let's and remote districts in the lnte-
rior of Serbia.
The scarcity of Serbian chauffeurs
caused the American Red Cross to
import American truck drivers. Many
were men loaned from the American
army. "a
The boys worked under very diff
cult conditions, far from their base.
The road to Uskub runs over the Ia
NOUS Babouna pass, and is tortuous
and steep with innumerable hair-pin
turns. Along its hundred miles from
Monastir it was crowded with cam

Al along the route were cars over
turned and out of commission. Some
times the traffic became snarled into
inextricable tangles and hours passed

Making the Advertising
Adequate

Patrons of stores 1--we come to
understand, that the purpose and re-
suit of newspaper advertising are to
reduce the cost of commodities to
consumers. This is accomplished
ONLY through adequate advertising
for. nothing less will assure the
largest possible volume of business,
which alone makes possible small per
sale profits.
Strangely enough, however, some
merchants cling unconsciously to the
outworn notion that to spend a little
less for advertising than a competl-
tor, with similar problems of selling
to solve, spends, is to "save" money.
If this were a sound doctrine it
would follow that a merchant would
find his greatest profits in reducing
his turn-over-in a smaller, rather
than larger, volume of sales. He
would find it more profitable to keep
his employees busy half of the time
to accomplish but part of the work
of which his selling organization is
capable, rather than all of it.
How much should a merchant spend
for advertising? Let US reduce the

ENGLAND FACES
70 MILLION TON
COAL SHORTAGE
Price is from $1.OS to $500
Per TOn-Affects Eng
lands Trade Position

LONDON, July Is, Correspond
ence of the Associated Press A
shortage of more than 70,000,00O tons
Of coal, as compared with the 1913
output, is faced by Great Britain
in the coming year, according to Sir
Auckland Geddes, president of the
Board of Trade. He announced in
the House of Commons, that for the
twelve months from July 26 next,
when the miners seven-hour day
comes into effect, the production of
British coal is estimated at between
214,000,000 and 217,000,000 tons. In
1913, the output was 287,0O0,000 tnos.
Those newspapers which cham
pion the miners in their successful
fight for shorter working day re-
fuse to concede the claim made by
pessimistic prophets that reduc-
ton in hours means a correspond
ing reduction in output, but there is
a general agreement that the war
strain and industrial unrest have
caused a decline for the moment in
production per man, and serious
view is taken of the situation.
Even if the amount of coal kept for
for home consumption is held down
to the amount used last year on a
strict rationing basis, 196,0O0,OOO
tons, the export surplus available will
amount to about 20,000,000 tons.
This, it is said, will have highly
serious results, for not ony must Eng
lands continental allies go without
the coal for which they are almost
entirely dependent on Great Britain,
but this country itself will be ire
mendously handicapped by the fact
that it no longer will be able to rely
upon coal as a substitute in foreign
trade for currency. England, accord
ing to analysts of the situation, Will
now have to pay for her imports IN
other goods or in money.
The increase in the price OF coal
for domestic consumption is variously
estimated at from $1.08 ton by
Sir Auckland Gebbes to about $500
by the manager of a Welsh iron and
coal company. This is expected to
increase prices in practically all
branches of industry.
Newspapers say the coal problem
affects the entire national life of tins
country and its world position as a
| trader as well.

PoDpieS.

A characteristic of the corn poppy,
beside its brilliant scarlet colOring, is
the large size of its two outer petals,
which hide the lesser pair until the
bower has opened. Poppies of Elan
dcrs, be they corn peoples or other
varieties, are not of the oriental spe-
cies from which opium IS derived. The
corn poppy when cultivated, Is known
as the Shirley poppy. The flower is
perennial or annual, according to the
variety.

answer to its simplest terms: Enough
to answer the largest volume of
business which he is prepared to
handle. If he is securing 80 per cent
of the business he could do, by adding
one-ffth to his advertising expense
he should be able to secure the maxi
mum, 100 per cent. Figuring on that
simple basis, merchant may reach
his goal.

BERLIN, Aug. 3.-CP)-That the German people must impose heavy taxes on themselves if they wish to regain position in the maritime and commercial world in any degree the same as that they enjoyed before the war, was the statement made to- day before the national assembly of Weimar government by Minister of Finance Matthias Erzberger. The Drmaus must. he said. be prepared not only to build up the nation at home, but 10 help their countrymen abroad. if anything like their former commercial prominence is to be as sured them.
 One of the things that must be done. he said, is to create a large mercantile fleet for the purpose of carrying German manufactured goods to other lands and bringing home foreign wares in exchange. To do this. said the minister, it will be necessary for the Germans to impose an annual personal tax on themselves of 25.OO0, ,OO0,O0 marks in addition to q property tax, which, he intimated, must also be very high if the Ger mans wish to accomplish their ends in the matter of commerce
