NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The response to
Commissioner Frederick A Wallis sue
gestion that immigration be distributed

country, he said today.
State and municipal oficiais, manu-
facturers associations and farmers or
CARNATIONS have endorsed his plan and
urged that the proposed system be made
effective as soon as possible and oser-
ing all possible cooperation. This plan
contemplates diversion OF immigration
now flowing in at the rate of miillsn
a year from the congested centers OF
population to sections whore there Is a
demand for labor Of specific classiscs

Horse and Donkey
 Meat in MericO

The following from Mexico cor respondent of the Journal of the American Medical Association is sug- gestive of at least one way to lower the cost of living:
 Because of the scarcity and the poor quality of beef now on sale or through eagerness to make money, some people have been devoting them selves surrepitiously to the slaughter of donkeys, mules and horses. As some of these people have veen caught and punished they intend to ask the Board of Public Health that they be allowed to open a slaughter house exclusively for horses. The flesh of these animals is not bad, and during hard times we have eaten it here with full knowledge of its or igin, and it is known that there is in Havana a society of horsemeat eaters. l do not know anything about the quality of donkey meat"

DON'T GUESS; GET FACTS

Did you know when you bought that Ingersol watch last week that the Robert H. Ingersol company had figured out just about how many peo- pie would buy watches of that kind this year? While they may not have thought of you by name, they cer- tainly did think of you as a possible purchaser and planned for your pur- chase in advance. The Robert H. h. gersol Company is only one of a number of companies that makes it point to chart it's business by get ing data that will give them fairly accurate estimate of the business they may do during the coming year. In the current issue of Forbes Magazine E.. Padelford, business statistician of the business course, New York tells how the new way of building a busi- ness minimizes the danger Of failure that too often in the past was the rule rather than the exception.
 Some years ago before statistics became so well known, there was on- ly slim chance for the little fellow to find out the things he should know, even when he knew that he should know them. Now he can find out not only almost everything he wants to know, but he can ascertain that which he should know.
 It is getting to be the fashion to be successful. The man who cries

The American Red Cross does not consider it's war-developed respoh- sibility to soldiers and sailors and their families finished until every ex-service man has received what the government intended he should. In fulfilling this obligation and achieving the desired results fun damental point is to discover thru our County Chapters those who, TOT various reasons, have not received what is due them for the service they rendered.
 In many cases, in spite of re- peated efforts to inform our men before they left camp of the ad- vantages offered by the govern ment, it has been found that he is unaware of them or ignorant of how to obtain them. Mrs. J. l. Morris, chairman of home service, is sending out 900 letters to our ex- service men of Lee county. These letters are in the form of care fully prepared questionnaire. 1t asks information concerning the mans discharge, and includes mat ters of Liberty Bonds, compensa- ton, insurance, medical care and re-education in proper sequence. Closing with a direct request for information and cooperation of the soldier.
