Save $3.50 This
Month

All we'll known makes of
high grade irons now sell for
at least $7.25.
After a long search in the
market, we are now able to
offer to our customers ON
electric iron, made according
to our specifications, which is
in every way equal to any
iron on the market.
The heating element is
buried in cement so that the
air does not come in contact
with the cement. That makes
the element last longer.
The very thick bottom plate
becomes exceedingly hot
heavu work is ironed quickly
and thinner pieces may be
ironed with the current turn
ed off.
You finish ironing sooner
and save current and money.
The iron is highly finished
in every way.
By ordering a large guam
tity of these irons, we are
able to sell them, during
Apris at $4.95.
$3.50 less than the low
est price of other high grade
irons.
Telephon or write for one
of these irons today.

VILLAGE GOSSIP
The AbsoIuteIiest Stinker.

The absOluteliest stinker went
through the Fort Lee ferry turnstile a
few evenings ago trying to catch the
80 boat ON the New York side. The
gong had been rung just before he en-
tered the ferry house, but he took a
chance on getting through before the
door was closed against him in the big
waiting room. At the ticket window in
line were 3 men and wOman--the wo-
man just handing in her money. But
the absoluteliest stinker, nothing daunt-
ed, wedged in past the three men, hur-
riedly and rudely brushed past the
woman, almost knocking her down,
dropping his own selfish nickel as he
passed through the turnstile on the run
only to have the big door closed in his
face. 1t was the cheapest, lowest act

Sealed-Bid Food
Sales Opposed by
Zone Supply Chief
New Army Ruling Will Turn
Enormous Stocks Over to
Profiteers Is Statement
Made by Col. ]. Nj. Carson

Colonel J. NJ Carson, zone supply
officer, supported by powerful womens
organizations Of this city, will en-
deavor to have the War Departments
Governing Sales Board reconsider its
decision to dispose of the remaining
surplus army foodstuffs solely through
sealed bids turned in at Washington,
it was learned yesterday. This order,
made public here Tuesday, wthdraws
the offer of huge stocks Of food to
wholesalers, retailers and municipal-
ties
Colonel Carson declared last night
that he had at first intended to abide
by the ruling quietly, but thorough
reflection had convinced him that it was
in the best interests of the War De-
partment and the consumers to con-
tinue distributing food through the
channels evolved in the last three
months. He said he would communi-
cate his belief to the Governing Sales
Board at Washington and if necessary
would journey to Washington.
Under the, system about to be
changed, he pointed out, it was pos
sible to trace the food directly to The
ultimate consumer and chances of
profitcering by dealers were negligible.
He declared that his selling organ
zation had been perfected and that no
trouble w"s anticipated in dsposing
of the food to reputable wholesalers
and retailers.
Il had one offer to take over large
portion of the remaining food stocks
when | received the order directing
me to discontinue sales and file with
the Sales Director at Washington the
quantities Of foodstutfs had on hand"
Colonel Carson said "This firm was
reputable and would have passed the
goods on to retailers at exceedingly
low prices. Six other firms were in
the market for the food. 1t will be diff
ficult to guarantee the food to consum-
ers at low prices under the new sys
ter, which provides for the proffering
Of sealed bids.
"The food here had been divided
into lots, good sellers and bad sellers
intermingled, in order that the less de-
sirablc commodities might also be dis
posed of. The sales machinery we have
built up is rendered worthless by the
new order"
Mrs. Louis Reed Wezmiler, Deputy
Markets Commissioner and president
of the New York State Plenty Food
League, branded the new War Depart.
ment order as ridiculous and unfair"
she declared that it had removed one
of the tangible factors in the fight on
the high cost Of living.

T|HE TRIBUNE will make up platform of
i ten planks to be determined by your votes.
Every plank submitted, and every letter
advocating plank, will be counted as vote for
the issue it covers.
The ten issues receiving the most votes will be
the planks of the final platform. The ten planks
that best express the chosen issues will be selected
by the Judges for the prize awards.
1he Tribune believes in short Platforms 1t
limits each plank to 100 words. In Judging be-
tween two planks or letters of equal merit, the
shorter will be chosen.
There are only 298 words in the Ten CON-
mand1nents, SO in the Lords Prayer, 2o7 in the
vital part of the Declaration of independence
and ZIG in Lincolns Gettysburg Address, If
these platforms for the whole human race could
be told IN so few words, 100 words are ample for
party plank.
New-York tribune., 1920-01-22

Winnie The Tribune cannot guarantee to publish
all the planks and letters readers send it will
open it's columns freely for discussion of the main

place IN the United States will be eligible

stamps accompany them.
The Judges of the contest will be three of The
Irlbune's editors. They will award the prizes

in the coming of Tom Watson as
senator from Georgia. Mr.. Watson
has been a political tornado in the
south for good many years. His
election is on the Democrats ticket,
but he starts in decidedly at outs with
his party upon their national issues.
1t is recalled that senator Tillman

into the senate. where he roared some
more for awhile. but finally he became
as tame as kitten. Jeff Davis from
Arkansas roared good deal at first,
but he subdued like the rest of theni
The senate has many great minds.
and no one has ever made any head
way against its methods by processes
iof roaring. or transforming. senator
Watson is said to be very able man,
and if he can introduce a strong per-
sonality in the senate, backed by a
determination to look little closer
to the public interest than the average
senator has been doing. he may Fill a
long felt want" There is we'll
founded conviction in Washington
that tho senate is long on political
interests and short on consideration
of the public welfare. The fiery Wa
son may help put the reverse action
on this state of affairs. If he does

The governemnt's ships have been
making only an indifferent success in

of other ships have been offered for
sale, and the manner in which some of
them have been bought is not entirely
free of suspicious gossips, Our sea-

countries. and it is said that our. ships

Nevertheless. the Americas flag is
floating on the high seas. and even

triumph of American shipping. =
