EFFECT OF ADVERTISING
ON PRICE OF GOODS

The popular notion that the con
sumner pays the merchants advertis
ing bill and that advertising increas
es the cost of goods to the consumer
is entirely erroneous, according to {
bulletin issued by the general office;
of the Montana Development assocl'
alton which shows conclusively that
since the beginning of the present
era of imitation, unadvertised goods
increased from 100 to $50 per cent
while nationally advertised goods
have shown an increase of but % to
so per cent.
By increasing the volume of sales,
advertising is a big factor in keeping
prices down, says the association.
The retail merchant applies his ad-
vertising on a percentage plan and
as his advertising increases his vol
ume, it follows that the advertising
in turn can be increased.
Low prices go hand in hand with
advertising. Where it would not be
possible to reduce the price of a line
of goods to nearly cost only to make
occasional sales to casual purchasers,
the merchant, by advertising the cut
price, can get a volume of sales
which will move the goods with the
smallest possible overhead expense.
Without advertising of some sort,
there would rarely be bargain prices,
and the gradual increase in cost of
all lines would be felt much more
keenly as it would affect one line as
much as another. Advertising is not
only a very necessary factor in the
successful conduct of the average re-
tail store; it also saves millions of
dollars annually to the consuming
public.
The statement that advertising
makes goods cheaper appears para
doxical to the layman, but a careful
examination of the facts and figures
shows that it is an invariable eco
nomic truth and a very important
one in the conduct of modern bus
mess.

SHIP CALLING FOR
 DOCTOR AND POLICE

Baltimore, Mr., May 30.-Wireless calls from the British steamer Tresantle, in- side the Chesapeake, received tonight, asked for police assistance and sur geon.
 A Baltimore police boat with reserves, will start down the harbor early in the morning The battleship Pennsylvania. off Annapolis, also picked up calls and offered assistance
 The calls from the Tregantle led the Baltimore police to believe that mutiny or serious disturbance of some kind had taken place on board the ship. The calls said the case was urgent.
 The Baltimore police faced the diffi- culty of overcoming federal regulations. Arrangements were made to take on the police boat with the reserves, the quaran- tine physician, who will board the ship first to meet requirements.
 Later advices from Annapolis were that ships of the. Atlantic fleet were m communication by wireless with the Ire gantle.
 Messages received from the fleet at Annapolis said the calls from the Tregantle declared that Serious trouble" had been encountered on board and that the captain had had trouble with drunken firemen.''
 Several of the calls were directed to the United States marshal at Balti- more.

to moderate extent but this demand was largely offset by renewed talk of short time among New England mills and the continued agitation against high prices in nearly all markets.
 A somewhat better spot demand was reported in some quarters, but it was not reflected by any material increase in sales at southern spot centers, which the trade accepted as meaning that the inquiry was chiefly for the better grades, which are becoming scarcer than ever.
 This week the big event will be the issuance on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock of the first condition report ok the season by the department of agri' culture. IL will carry the crop down to May 25 and will compare with 7a.6 last year at the same date; S2.S twd years ago; 695 three years ago, when a new low record was established. The tcn-year average is 78.7.
 Expectations quite generally are
 for n report that will make Il new
 low record. Private forecasts have
 appeared that were as low 62S
 per cent of n normal. The average
 of opinion, however, seems to be
 around SC, or possibly slightly
 higher.
 4 forecast of 6S.9 appeared to meet ;he approval of the more conservative element As matters stood at the end of last week a report of 70, although far under the ten-year average, would be so much above average expectaH tons that it would cause decline Probably it would require figures of 65 or under to cause much of an advancTt Tn the opinion of many traders, any thing but very bullish report has been discounted.

den campaign fund had been sent to Johnson. Later, fifteen delegates. headed by Roscoe Pickett, were elected and were understood to favor General Wood. Frank Fl. Hitchcock, one of the Generals managers. testified to the Senate committee that s10,000 was sent to Pickett. The Georgia contest is ex- pected probably to be the most spec tacular of all
 Since contest was filed from Texas, there was a bolt of negroes from the San Antonio convention. and now two full sets of delegates are asking to be seated. Both are reported favorable to the candidacy of General Wood. In brief. the number and distribution of contests are as follows:
 Alabama 1, Arkansas 2, Florida

 HAYS ARRIVES {.
 Chairman Hays arrived early today, coming on the same train with Will liam Cooper Proctor of Cincinnati, de- scribed before the Senate investigat- ing committee as "the anger of the Wood candidacy. Col. T. Coleman Du- pont of Delaware also was pas senger.
 After a luncheon with newspaper correspondents Chairman Hays made flying visit to presidential row. and then motored out to the Coliseum to inspect the work on the convention arrangements.
 The chairman issued this statement:
 Tt looks here today like the middle of convention week. The interest the crowds of enthusiastic republicans al- ready arrived, indicate the nationwide party vigor and enthusiasm.
 Everywhere republicans are 'rearin' to go The unprecedented confidence of republican success which obtains everywhere is simply the reflection of the real.A:ion of the necessity for such success as a matter of national welfare. Everywhere is the apprecia tion of the fact that we have a task to perform worthy of our party strength and party history, that we have a patriotic work to do that Is epoch making, and that upon our per- formance will largely depend the fu- ture of the country.
 "The chronicler of centuries to come will look backward at these now ap- preaching years as of the most tro- mendously important development of American policy and it is the repub- lican party that is to direct that de- velopment. Nothing shall decreasesthe certainty of this republican success. Nothing shall decrease the certainty of our doing well that which we are cer tainly about to be called upon to ac- complish.
 We have a work to do fox the good of the country and 1t takes us all to do it."
 The state delegations themselves probably will be required by the na- tional committee to dispose of sixty seven surplus delegates selected from nine states.

COTTON MARKET IS

 COMES THIS WEEK
Optimists Hope for Average Condition of 70, But Many Think It Will Not Go
 Over .65

New Orleans, May 3o.--Trading in cotton last week revolved around the pening report on the condition of the crop by the government. The tendency was to advance because of very bull lish private forecasts of government report. At the same time prevailing weather conditions over the belt were sufficiently good to tone down bullish operations to some extent. The con- cition period ended Tuesday and since tlier a good part of the belt has ex- perienced weather which the majority of traders think has led to improve ment in the crop.
 The net results of the weeks trad ing were advances of 50 to 66 joints. July closing at 3790c and October at S. 0Sc.
 The better tone in the foreign ex- change market and somewhat easier money conditions encouraged buying
