RUMOR SAYS WOOD
PUT WATSON OVER
Hitchcock Prepares to Make
His Final Drive for General.

CHICAGO. June "a terrific drive"
to make Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood the
presidential nominee of the republican
party was launched here today,
The Wood forces started a simulta-
neous offensive from several angles. Their
strategy was directed by Frank Il. Hitch
cock.
The sudden collapse of the opposition
to James r. Watson of Indiana for the
chairmanship OF the resolutions commit
tee late yesterday and the almost stimuli
taneous selection of Senator Lodge Of
Massachusetts,, temporary chairman Of
the convention. as the permanent chair
man were among early indications to
those initiated In political mysteries that
something was going on.
Tracing these results, investigators
found indications that Hitchcock 1ad had
n hand in bringing about the settlement
of the two contests.
Reports Of a deal" on both the perma
mont Craftsmanship and the resolutions
Craftsmanship were flying today. They
were to the effect that Hitchcock had
stepped up to take the relns OF the
Embossed" convention and had made the
arrangements for putting Lodge and
places in the convention.
Another Indication of the Wood Of
fensive was renewed pressure in dele
gates instructed for candidates other
than Gen. Wood 20 turn to Wood after
technically fulfilling their obligations on
the hrst two or three ballots.

down the cost of living" said Mrs
Frederick.
1T is necessary" she said, that the
woman consumer and advertising form a
closer partnership and understand each
other better
The two chief functions Of advertising
from the consumers point of view are :
First-Advertising reduces the cost of
selling; second. advertising establishes
standards Of buying, by both of these
means helping the consumer obtain
products at the lowest price and with the
least waste of money.
MESSAGE SHOULD
GO INTO HOME"
Gentlemen, you as a body. at all cost,
should obtain the cooperation of lead
ing women to educate the homemaker
about advertising, especially since wom-
en- are now voters.
From my talks with congressman,
and with others in public life. l am GER
tain that If the cost of living continues
10 be such burden severe antagonism
will be developed against advertising,
unless such educational cooperation Is
effected.
You will have to show the home
maker the true value Of advertising with
the same clearness with which you were
able to show 100000 of people why
they should buy Liberty bonds.
You will have to show her how deal
ers and jobbers insist on the largest
profit in every case where there is no
consumer demand.
You will have to prove to her that
when you spend even million dollars
in advertising, you can reduce the cost
of the article to the woman consumer
because an article which moves fast at a
low margin of profit. can be sold cheaper
to the consumer than an article that
moves slowly and on which the dealer
requires a large per cent of profit.
'In other words you win have to make
her believe how greatness OF demand and
many and rapid orders based on her
good will and satisfaction result in less
and less cost and in greater values.
Further. you will have to sell her on
vour vigilance work,

.XPLAIN VALUE
OF FARM PAPERS

The farm paper in Indiana, instead Of
Inducing its subscribers to depend on
CORES spondence with advertisers. rather
has a tendency to cause the farmer to go
TO the market or city closest to him, and
call for the articles advertised, said Ben
F. Bitter Of Huntington. Ind. publisher
Of the Farmers Guide. in addressing the
farm paper division Of the advertising
clubs yesterday.
"The state farm paper" he said, cor
the one with a limited circulation terri
tory. has its influence with the business
farmers who go into the market and
buy, patronizing the home industry
rather than depend upon correspond

DEALERS BACK

Mr. Bitter stated that in Indiana the
friendship and cooperation of the local
dealers had been gained, and that they
have been kept informed of what the
st9ts farm paper is doing for their
PIher customers and for the improve

The meeting held yesterday afternoon
