service, under one head, DR.. Stimson
said:
"Yes, the advantage Of that is ap-
parent undoubtedly 1t would do much
to remedy the situation"
The stystcm Of rehabilitating dis
abled veterans is denounced by the
American Legion as a failure" which
should be rcmedied by consolidating
under single head the govern
ment agencies now engaged in that
work This charge and the remedial
suggestion will be presented by the
legion to President Wilson, President
elect Harding and to every member
of both houses of Congress in n
memorial directing attention to
injustice" which the legion asserts
marks the administration of the affairs
of the war veterans.
Colonel +. w. Galbraith. Jr., ma
tional commander of the legion, will
personally deliver copy of the. memo
rial to Senator Harding at Marion,
where Colonel Galhraith has an ap-
pointmCnt to discuss with the President =
elect the legion's program for the dis
abled men.
The legion asserts in the memorial
that the function Of the agencies
which now deal with the soldiers who
require their country's care.
must be CO. ord mated, their machinery
decentralized and all three placed under
the common control.
Single Administrative Head Urged
ITO DO this" the memorial says,
there must be new law which shall
place the unified organization under q
single administrative head" For that
new organization, the legion asks an
appropriation sufficient to buy, build,
equip and enlarge hospitals, sufficient to
provide facilities for all the men now
under hospital treatment. Bills provi1-
ing for that have been introduced in both
houses of Congress at the request Of
the legion.
1t is announced that the legion has
sent copies of the memorial to 5000
legion speakers in all states, who have
volunteered to endeavor to focus the
attention of the nation on the situation
Of the disabled men.
The memorial asserts that the United
States has been more liberal than any
other nation in its provisions for the
disabled soldiers. but that it has failed
in a large measure to make those pro.
visions available. That is attributed
to ian astonishing state Of divided re-
sponsibiity and wasted effort among
the government agencies with which
the problem rests.
''In the rehabilitation Of a disabled
man there are three needs-medical
treatment. vocational training and finan-
cial support" the memorial proceeds.
"The government has recognized the
three needs but overlooks the fact that
they are the simultaneous needs OF one
man. not of three different men. or OF
one man at three different times. 1t
makes three problems out Of what really
ID one three. part problem.
Continuing this faulty conception
IL has given the problem over to three
agencies. Each of these agencies is
an institution complete in itself. Each
is administratively Independent of the
other two. All, by force of circum
stances, are exercising functions they
were not intended to exercise. This
presents an amazing spectacle Of admin
istrative chaos, duplication, wasted
energy and conflict. which is the key tn
the present condition.

Good Grand jury Work. .

The grand jury at this term of the
court has been doing good work.
They have, up to Tuesday morning,
returned more than 100 indictments
and are still at work with number
of witnesses yet to examine. They
have been especially active in securing
evidence against the viOlaterS of the
liquor laws, and in spite of the evaS-
ion of Witnesses have been able to
make number of cases. They say
that there has been decided improve
ment in the state of public sentiment
in regard to liquor selling and that
Of the citizens are willing to cooper
ate with the grand jury than was
formerly the case. 1t is undeniably
true that many witnesses who testi-
fled before that body could have made
indictments if they had told the truth
but all realize that there some citizens
who think more of drink of liquor
than they do Of their oath, and so long
as this continues it will be hard to
get at the root of the traffic. but this
grand jury is demonstrating that ii
is possible to get results by earnest
effort A few witnesses came thru

fore the merchants who sells the most
goods can sell them cheaper.
The shrewd merchant realizes this
fact and to increase his sales he adver-
tiscs. His advertising increases his
sales and he can sell cheaper. Let's
take concrete example:
Jones sells, without advertising, $15,
600 year. His overhead expenses
in interest on property and deprecia-
rion is counted at per cent each, or
II per cent His clerk hire is $50 II
month. This makes his overhead eX-
penSes $Gj month. $25 per cent on
the sales Of $4,000 year, or $125O
a month is I292.50. per month. This
less 500 is S13I.50 profit. Three per
cent Of gross sales in advertising
well spent will dOIible the sales. This
$3.50 month added to the standing
oyrrhcads of SG5 makes $l02.5O, but
the profits on $4,000 in sales amounts
I 10 %lOl, which, less the $102.j0 leaves
S3O2.J0, or Il profit Of $1G5. for an ex-
.Uaad.tura Of $3.50. There is no

II is only recently that country .mcr-

Is as much nccessity as showcases

Advertising does not increase the
