Edison Was Right Again

men and women who remained behind. From the
humblest workman to the highest paid executive in
TIE Edison organization, everyone seemed determin-
ed "to make good, while the Old Man was away"
Vacations passed up and doctors orders were
ignored by Jealous employees, and, as result the
Edison Manufacturing Laboratories were one OF the
few manufacturing concerns in the United States,
where there was no loss of efficiency, during the
war, and where there was, in fact, an increase in
efficiency
During the war; Mr.. Edison spent most OF his time
the sea coast or at On three occasions, when
he visited the Edison Laboratories. it was difficult
to gain his attentic n for more than few minutes
with reference to business matters. lie did, how
ever, state that the Edison Phonograph was his pet
invention and he hoped that his business associates
would be able, in some way or other to avoid any
increase in price, and that, if there must be
an increase, he wanted such increase to be Just as
small as it could possibly be made Mr. Edison said:
81 willing to stand the gail. Music is an I'M
portant thing Let us make it as possible for
people to have music in their homes in these nerve
racking days."
What was the result? The wonderful realism of
the New Edison, 'The Phonograph with Soul"
made it desired above all other monographs, and its
sale stimulated by the fact that the increase IN
price was negligible. The demand soon far out
stripped the suppl. Overhead and sales expense
were reduced to the minimum and, thanks to MI
Edson's willingness to absorb large snare OF the
increased cost of manufacture, it was possible for
the Edison Laboratories, by accepting merely
nominal profit, to avoid substantial increase In
the selling price of the Edison monograph
1t will be many years before the general level Of
commodity prices is low as the present price OF
the Edison Phonograph. Leading bankers nave ex-
pressed themselves as willing to lend money on Edi-
son Photographs, because they know the selling
prices of Edison Photographs are not gong to be
reduced.
Let us reiterate that when you buy an Edison
Phonograph today you buy before the war value
with an after war dollar. If you have any fear
that there may be reduction in the prices of Edison
Phonoeraphs. we are prepared to give you full as

Indianapolis, Ind.-A few minutes

for the fact that the bodies of thou

note, said:

thirty years more, so that may fight

The question of whether or not Kan
red wheat has milling qualities equal
to the ordinary varieties will soon oe
determined, according to S. c. Salmon,
secretary of the Kansas Crop Improve
ment Association. Although it is now
generally conceded that Kanred will
produce two to five bushels more to
the acre than other varieties, millers
have asserted that it does not make
a good grade Of flour, said M. Salmon.
About fifty members of the crop i'm
provement association who have raised
both varieties are now making extern
sive milling and baking tests. "Ex-
tensive tests have been conducted by
the Kansas experiment station and by
the United States departing Of agri-
culture and they all show very favor
ably to Kanred," said Mr.. Salmon.
"Millers, however, have objected to lis
milling quality, just as they objected
to Turkey wheat forty years ago and
again to Khartov twenty years ago
when they were introduced. For this
reason exhaustive tests are being
made to determine the milling quality
of 1Aanred."

FUEL MAY Be SOLD BY CITIES
Attorney General Hopkins Plans Law
to Combat Coal Shortage in
State This Winter.

In order that Kansas municipalities
may be able to cope with a possible
winter shortage of coal, Attorney Gen
eral Richard J. Hopkins faVOrs law
which will enable them to buy fuel
and sell it direct to consumers. if con-
ditions warrant emergency action.
In some Kansas cities municipal
coal and wood yards were conducted
last winter as clearing houses TO bring
buyers and sellers together, but IN
der the present law cities have no au-
thOrity to engage in business of this
kind on their own accord, Mr.. Hopkins
said.
Conditions which prevailed last
fall and winter would, in my opinion,
justify granting to cities the power
and authority to provide for fuel" said
Hopkins. 1.-THE distress and suffering
caused by lack of fuel was Of itself
sufficient excuse for enabling cities
TO provide a means whereby repeti-
ton of such disaster may be avoided.
1.-The 1rief special session of the leg
islature last winter did not give the
members sufficient time in which TO

kind. 1 am greatly in hopes that the
next session OF the legislature will
give the matter due consideration and
feel certain that if i. does so the cities
will be granted such authority"
Referring to the extent to which
state and municipal governments
should interfere in fixing prices and
regulating industries considered essen
tial to the public welfare, Mr.. Hopkins
said:
1.-The great problem Of government
today Is to place the fruits of the pro-
ducer's labor into the. hands of the
consumer without paying unnecessary
tribute to non-productiVe distributors
and spectators. In the past it has
been our theory that competition must
govern the mark citing of our products,
but the time has come when we are
forced to concede that combination is
replacing competition, and this, in
spite of the fact that various govern
mental activities have been enlisted
to counteract the tendency. The fact
remains that entirely too great a toll
is exactel- after the product leaves
the hands of the producer, and before
it reaches the ultimate consumer"
