.LARRAzO[O ASKS
FOR HOTEL SUITE
Republican Leaders Re-
serving Rooms for
State Convention

Many requests have been received
by local hotels for reservations OF
rooms and suites OF rooms for the
republican convention, tho date OF
which has Just been set as Sept. a..
Prior 20 the setting of the dates for
the convention these requests have in
most eases been filed away awaiting
further instructions. Governor LAR
razolo made application for a suite
OF rooms AT the Combs some time ago.
other leaders have made requests for
reservations ranging from a single
room TO an entire section of q par
tlcular floor. These, however, have
moi yet been reserved owing to the
number OF regular guests at most Of
the hotels who must be acoommo-
dated.
The Alvarado has made no reserva-
lions up to the present owing to the
bankers convention which is set for
the same week as the republican
convention. and the fact that reserva-
tions for this convention were made
months ago. In fact a number Of
reservations were made by bankers
from New York. Kansas City, Fort
Worth and other places Immediately
after the bankers convention adjourn
cd last fall.
II II said. however. by local hotel
nien there are ample accommc ln.ions
at the local hotels for at least one
thousand visitors. in addition to
numerous other accommodations to
be had In private homes and other
places about the city. II IL not
thought there will be anything like
II real shortage in this respect.

.211 MESSAGES TO EACH PERSON
 IN EVERY YEAR

Washington, January 12.-Accord- ing to the report about to be issued by the Bureau of the Census show ing the results of the census of tele- phones covering the year 1917, there are 53,234 separate telephone systems and lines. These lines and systems operated 28,S27,1sS miles of wire in the United States-enough to gtrd1e the earth at the equator 1,153 times and connected 11,716, ,52O telephones and 21,175 public exchanges. The messages or talks sent over these. wires aggregated the stupendous total of nearly 22 billion, or, to be exact, 21,S45.722.335. Figured on the esti- mated population of the country in 1917 this gives 211 messages per an- mum to every man, woman and child.
 The industry in 1917 gave employ ment to 262,629 persons of whom
 I'll, ,119, or over 65 per cent were women. The sum paid out in sal aries and wages amounted to $175,-
 670,4 These employees operated
 plants and equipment valued at $1,-
 492, ,329,O15, which yielded operating and incorporating revenues of $391,-
 449, ,531.
 The Bell telephone system con-
 trolled over four-fifths of the total wire mileage, employed over three fourths of the total of the employees of the industry, paid over four-fifths
 of the total bill for salaries and wages and received nearly four-fifths of the total revenue.
 phones in the United States bore the
 "BelP' sign, and thirds of all per sons who were wanted on the wire were wanted on a Bell wire. The dominating part that vne Bell System plays in the industry may be further illustrated by the fact that of all the other systems reported, 96.1 per cent reported annual incomes of less than $5,O00.
 Comparisons with previous censuses l bring out in a striking way the re- | rnarkab1e development of the indus | try. During the decade 1907-1917 1 wire mileage increased 129 per cent, the number of telephones 1928 per cent, the number of messages 90.5 per cent, for systems having incomes 1 of S5,000 or more.
 A comparison by geographic divis- l ions brings out the fact that consid- erab1y more than one-half of the tel I l comes of s5,OOO or more in 1917 were 1 located in the Middle West, while
 systems and lines report incomes of | less than $5,000 were found in the 1 largest numbers in the western states 1 of the central groups.
 1 The financial stactics of the report | show that while the revenue of the l telephone companies has more than doubled during the decade 1907-1917
 the expenses have increased at an 1 even more rapid rate. Much of the | increase in expenses was due to in- crease in salaries and wages paid
 These had advanced from 47.4 per l cent of the total expenses in 1912, tc | 54.2 per cent. in 1917. For systems reporting annual incomes of more
 than $5,000 in 1917, the average tota- | revenue per telephone was $38.41, ar
 average net income per telephone s6.- 13 and average surplus telephone ST. 46

Building Activity In
 U. S. Shows Large Gain

A gain of 70S per cent is shown in the amount of construction for which permits were granted during Novem- Der, 1919 compared with November 1918, according to reports received by Building Age direct from the build ing departments of PIP cities. Only 8 cities reported decreases, 204 hay ing enjoyed increased activity. Fig ures are $153, 3,774,2S7 for November, 1919, as against $19,02O,723 for No vember, 1918. Government restric- tions were still in force during this period last year, not having been lifted until November 21.
 The total number of permits grant ed in the PIP cities during Novem- Der 1919 was 32,644, an average val ue of $4,741. The number of permits granted during November 1918 was 13,730, the average value being $1,- 3S5. The percentage of increase in the number of permits quoted is 138.
 Eastern cities show a gain of TSP per cent, 7S out of S1 cities reporting gains. Cities in the middle states show 634 per cent gain, 57 out of 59 reporting gains. Southern cities show BOP per cent. gain, 43 out of 45 cities reporting gains. Western cities show 543 per cent gain, 26 out of 27 cities reporting gains.
 Material prices have risen consider l ably. The lumber market shows in- l creases almost daily, five tos fifteen l dollar increases being not uncommon. 1 This condition is due to the fact that i there is a big demand for building | of all kinds, combined with a shortage 1 of materials. Decreases in the near 1 future are not looked for, as every l indication points towards higher
 prices during 1920 with conditions l approaching boom.

Mothers are giving it to their children who were given it by their mothers. Every second of the working day someone some where is going into a drug store to buy it, for Dr. Caldwel1's Syrup Pepsin is selling at the rate of over 6 million bottles a year.
 Its great success is based on merit, on repeated buying, on one satisfied user telling another. There are thousands of homes in this country that are never with out a bottle of Syrup Pepsin, and the formulator of that prescrip- ton is fortunately living to see it's wonderful success.
 Women, children and elderly people are especially benefited by Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. While it is promptly effective on the most robust constitution and in the most obstinate cases, it is mild and gentle in it's action and does not cause gripping and strain. Containing neither opiates nor narcotics, it is safe for the tiniest baby and children like it and take it willingly.
 Every drug store sells Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. Keep a bottle in your home. Where many live someone is sure to need it quickly.

TYR. W. B. Caldwell of Mon- ticello, Illinois, vas and is a @ family doctor. The whole human body. not any small part of it, was his practice. More than half his ''calls'' were on women, children and babies. They are the ones most often sick. But their illnesses were usually of a minor nature-colds, fevers, head aches, biliousness-and all of them required first a thorough evacuation. They were constipated.
 Dr. Caldwell in the course of 40 years practice, for he was grad uated from Rush Medical College back in 1875, had found a good deal of success in such cases with prescription of his own contain ing simple laxative herbs with pepsin. In 1892 he decided to use this formula in the manufac- ture of a medicine to be known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and in that year the preparation was first placed on the market. The picture of Dr. Caldwell that ap- pears on the package vas taken in that year.
 The preparation immediately had as great a success in the drug stores as it previously had in the doctors private practice. Today the third generation is using it.

NORTH DAKOTA OR CALIFORNIA

1t is true that the nonpartizan
league bears the brand of origin OF
North Dakota. 1t is equally true that
cooperative marketing as at present
defined comes with the authorship
of California. Doubtless it was ac-
curate as well as picturesque for Mr..
marketing organizations of Califor-
MIA, to say, as he did before the
chamber of commerce on Monday,
that the present farmer organization
contest is a contest between North
Dakota and California.
Which, then, will win, North Da-
kota or California?
North Dakota has made class APP
peal and established class conscious
ness. California has employed, as
Mr.. Sapiro points out, specialists in
marketing, advertising, law and fl
ninace to help the farmer merchan-
disc his products. North Dakota
has proposed that the farmers con-
troll production and marketing by po-
litical action. California has fur
nished, in last years cooperative
marketing of $500, 100000 worth of
farm products, an actual demonstra-
ton that the economic method of
solving the farmers economic prob
lem is sound.
The attitude which the banker and
the business man should primarily
take is that the farmer is entitled to
a fair price and a stabilized market
for his products. He does not merit
being exploited by spectators, and
he should be protected from them by
every related line of business that
finds success in solid, conservative
and fair dealing. Thus, having re-
cognized the right of the farmer to
live and prosper, it becomes the OPP
portunity of the banker and the bust
ness man to see how they can best
aid the farmer.
Can they do it through the non
parti2an league? The North Dakota
plan calls for class organization and
class appeal, 1t excludes them.
Can they do it through co-operat-
i've marketing? The California
method calls for their aid and ex-
cludes the eXploiter.
But recent events make it clear
that Oregon will have in control from
the farmer point Of view either the
nonparti2an league or cooperative

CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS

Among the many encouraging
points made by Mrs. Preston, state
superintendent of education for
Washington, in her report on school
consolidation is the following on
transportation:
There are, however, some decided
advantages in transportation, and
few schools, once having given it
a thorough trial, are willing to re-
turn to the old plan. Chief among
the advantages may be mentioned
the following:
/. Pupils are not exposed to rain
and weather on their way to school
They do not sit in school all day
with damp garments.
,. They arrive at school fresh
and ready for work, not tired out by
a long tramp,
3. They do not have to leave
home as early in the morning.
4. They are under proper chap
eronage while going to and from
school-the time when immoral in
fluences would otherwise have an
opportunity to make an impression.
o. The attendance of the district
is improved. The teacher does not
spend her time with mere handful
of pupils.
6, Pupils who could not other
wise come to school are enabled to
attend.
7. Regularly enrolled pupils are
enabled. to attend under weather
conditions which would otherwise
keep them at home.

A NECESSARY RULE

While the management of The
Herald very much regrets having to
inconvenience any of the patrons of
the paper, the new rule that all paid
readers must be brought or sent to
the office and paid for in advance
is a fair and necessary one and must
be strictly enforced.
1t is very easy matter to tele-
phone in one of these readers and an
equally easy matter to then forget
all about it. The charge for most
of them does not exceed 10 or .
cents. and the time and expense re-
quired to enter it on the books and
then make out and mail statement
amounts to more than the charge
The amount involved is usually so
small that the person receiving the
bill overlooks it, and often half a
dozen statements have to be mailed.
While in some instances it may
cause little inconvenience to bring
or mail the reader to the office with
the price, instead of telephoning it in
and paying when one happens to
think of it, anyone must admit that
the cashin-advance payment re-
quirement is fair one. The charge
is one cent a word for each inser-
ton, and it will entail very little
trouble to write out the advertise
ment, count the words and send the
necessary amount with the reader
for the desired number of inser-
lions.
In future this office can not and
will not accept paid readers by tele-
phone or unless accompanied by the
price of insertion.
