ADVERTISING Pays" is a phrase
that has been for years familiar and
wc want to stress it again giving in
evidence that J. Wallace Mcintyre, Of
Fulton. recently advertised an engine
for sale in the Ledger, The second
reply he had came after the engine
had been sold but he went ahead and
sold the second caller another engine
for $3.50. This sale was made with
a 30 cent ad. This is only one of the
many instances where advertising gets
results. Not a day passes but the
Ledger receives evidence Of this kind

SMELL AND ALL

1t is announced through Associated

ment may reject almost in it's entirety
the proposal of the big Five" Chi
cago meat packers for disposition of
their stock yards interests as re-
quired by the voluntary court decree

Department of Justice officials will
file the governments views in the
District of Columbia Supreme Court.
1t was understood that a counter
proposal for sale of the packing inter
ests would be embodied in their OBJ
lection to the plan now before the

October Z.
Proposals of the packers providing
for transferring their stock yard in
terests, estimated at $40 0,000, 900, to
Frederick H. Prince & Company, Bos-
ton bankers, was said to be regarded
by government lawyers as meaning
concentration of control to a. greater
degree than existed under the packer

would be offered to farmers and pro-
ducers and traders in live stock

CAN'T DO BUSINESS ON
GAS; MUST HAVE COIN

Edward w. Bemis, city gas expert,
warned the city council committee on
gas litigation that unless the city
pays at least part of the $4,000 it
owes him at once he will be forced
to cease work.
Attorney Donald R. Richberg, coun-
sci for the committee, also told the
committee that City Controller Hard
ing has refused payment of bills which
the lawyer has rendered for legal
services.
"A stoppage in our work at this
time would cripple the city's case be-
fore the public utilities commission y
Aid. Henry D. Captain, chairman of

sion has just granted us a reopening
of the gas rate case and the services
of these men are Indispensable

matum in writing and transmit it to
Aid. Captain, who will lay the situa
tion before the finance committee and

ALDERMEN CRY
"ROTTEN" AT CITY
PHONE SERVICE

The Chicago Telephone company is
Gin badn with members of the city
council because of poor service. Many
of them joined in severe criticism
of the service given to the city hall
and council action is threatened.
Rotten said Aid James Dorney
of the oath ward. There is no other
way to describe the service. One
would think that the company would
make at least half-hearted effort to
give fair service to the municipal
building. However, my experience,
as we'll as that of other members of
the council, is that the company seems
to be trying to give the city hall the
poorest service possible. 1t takes one
a full minute or two to get connec-
ton, and in eight cases out of ten the
wrong number is given. Then it be-
comes almost impossible to get the
operator back on the wire"
Other members of the city council
corroborated the complaint of Aid.

GAS COMPANY ASKS
RAISE OF RATES

Attorneys for the Peoples Gas
Light and Coke Company have served
notice on the public utilities commits
sion that the company will renew it's
fight for $125 gas rate. The COM
pany petitioned for this rate early in
the summer and was granted a tenn
porary rate of s1.15, which it is Eow
charging.
William G. Voolfolk, IN engineer
employed by the company, paved the
way for the new rate petition by tes-
tifying that the company's property
now has a going concern value of
between S10,000,0OO and s12,OO0,000.
William A Sauer, cost accounting
expert, testified the present rate did
not give the company a reasonable
working capital and that a s1.25 rate
would hardly enable the company to
operate without loss.
Chester E. Cleveland, assistant cor
poration counsel, asked that the ele-
waited lines be compelled to make pub
lie their earnings for August. He
said he desired this information "to
show that the 10 cent fare the lines
now are collecting is not justified -
Chairman James H. Wilkerson of the
utilities commission indicated he
would order the lines to furnish the
information.

REPUBLICANS
NAME JUDGE

City Hall Republicans were de-
feated at the Republican county con-
vention. called to nominate two Cir
cult Court judges for the Tuthill and
Walker vacancies.
The City Hall, apparently in full
confidence of a victory, entered the
convention, recognized its validity
under the the "old" primary law re-
vived by the Supreme Court opinion,
and went to a roll call on the nom
ination of the two judges. The anti
Thompson forces won by a vote OF
3.716 to 3,610, the ward committee
men in Chicago v5ting under the
cumulative plan of the old pri-
mary law.
Farlin II. Ball Of Oak Park was
nominated for the Tuthill vacancy
and Charles A. Williams of the Thlr-
ty-second Ward for the Walker va
cancy, defeating Edward s. Day and
Eugene II. Dupee, the two city hall
entrants.
The larger significance of the con
vention, however, was that the anti
Thompson Republicans are just now
in possession of the Republican coun
ty organization, for the impending
campaign. and the old Weber-Busse
Hoffman control in country town:
was broken up.

tories will be forced to close. He
said:
''From a variety of causes our sales
have declined during the last several
months, resulting in an accumulation
of stocks. Many of these lines can
be replaced today at much lower
prices. We have, therefore, made big
reductions"
Mr.. Rosenwald's statement then
gives list of the commodities in
which the company has cut prices,
including many kinds of cotton goods,
women's house dresses and other ar
ticles of clothing, automobile tires,
etc. The statement then continues:
ssWhile this may result in consid-
erable loss, it has always been our
policy to reduce prices and refund the
difference whenever the market values
decline after our catalog was pub
lished. We are now voluntarily re-
funding to an average of 10000 Gus
| toners a day. We note concessions

six months. Work on the concourse
and train sheds, to be located on the
site of the present station, has not
been started.
Time out of nearly year for strikes
is claimed by the railroads. This
would have given the railroads until
this summer to complete the work.
Whether the recent war comes with
in the meaning of this "act Of God
or a public enemy" proviso is the
question on which the forfeiture of
the bond depends.
If the law is found to hold that the
war can be characterized as either an
act of God or the act of a public
enemy, and the railroads can prove
this prevented construction, they may
get a. reprieve Of two or three years
to finish the work
Building experts estimate that it
will take from two to three years to
finish the project even if the work is
speeded up.
