Investigation Shows One Grocer to Every
y Families in u. S.
Figures gathered by the Commission Of
Agricultural Inquiry in Washington show:
| There is one grocer to every seventy
three families.
There is one jobber to every fifty-six
arocers
There are s35, 2l2 retail grocery and DEL
icatesseD stores.
The total number of stores in the prin-
cipal lines of trade is $50 419 The total
for all lines is estimated at probably over
100000.
This makes one retailer for every twen-
ty-six families.
Three and three-tenths per cent of the
population of the country is employed in
retail trade. This is 1856, 1868 persons,
more or less.
There are 40, 3e9 retailers in mems fur
nshing lines
This makes one for every COZ families.
There are 25, POS retail dry goods stores,
or one for every 69l families.

one for every 172 families.
There are 1899 shoe wholesalers, or one
to every 101 retailers.
The number of retail candy dealers is
So, 633, with one wholesaler for every six
and one half retailers
Representative Sydney Anderson, chair
man of the commission, DOES not believe
however, that the data so far gathered
warrants the drawing of any definite con.

An unrecko enable saving in money
ard In time, which is said to be
money, Is gained for business firms
of Tulsa and Oklahoma through the
adoption of the standardized invoice
form OF the National Association OF
Purchasing Agents by the Purchasing
Agents association Of Oklahoma and
their conversion OF concerns to the
use Of the form.
All Tulsa oil companies repre-
sented through their purchasing
agents In the oklahoma association
are employing the standardized in
voice, the Tulsa Typothatae have
agreed to print IT and slowly but
surely its use is spreading to other
state and national firms. Every
week brings adviccs to the exchange
bureau OF the Oklahoma association
that another of the firms dealing in
oil country supplies will employ the
form when their present supply Of
stationery Ia exhausted Uniform
use OF the form may result from the
missionary work OF tho Oklahoma
association.
Though originated by purchasing
agents, the standardized invoice is
convenient and practical for both
seller and purchaser and the bust

economy and efficiency. To appre-

recognized disadvantages arising
from the use of widely dissimilar
styles, sizes and arrangement of in
voices. NOnstandard invoices add
considerably to the. work of the pur-
chasing department. Certain infor-
nation as to purchase order number,
delivery point, terms and other de-
tails must appear on the invoice TO
enable it to be properly checked
against the purchase order and re-
ceiving record. on nonstandard in
voices such information is rarely
given In full. thereby necessitating
the exchange of correspondence,
causing trouble and Inconvenience
to buyer and seller and delaying
prompt settlement Of accounts
Even when the complete informa-
tion IL given on nonstandard in
voices, the arrangements and loca-
tion differ so widely on one invoice
compared to another that the
checking clerk is forced to devote
considerable time to searching out
the information and making proper
notations on tho invoices. The va
riety OF sizes is another source OF
common complaint. Some invoice
forms are so small that no space is
left for the purchasing department
to make its entries OF approval;
others are so large that they cannot
be adequately filed or handled
The standardized invoice Is the re-
suit of two years of work in which
the cooperation Of 275 associations
and 1875 business publications and
suggestions from hundreds Of
sources has been utilized. In the
preliminary work OF the committee
that proposed the standard form Of
invoice four forms were submitted
SENTATIVE standards. These were
subjected 10 unqualified criticism
and revision and as n result tho final
form was submitted at "A public con-
ference called by the Standardization
committee of the national associa-
tion Of purchasing agents at Chicago

Cooperation Fundamental.
Their Idea Ia that cooperation.

OF the community's life, should be
the fundamental principles upon
which TO establish greater or
Eanization. They feet that the social
service worker of today must br "A

properly. And that one head who
is capable can direct this
work with greater results than by
having II divided. The permanent
community trust fund proposes to
secure such a head, after of course
their financial campaign is put over
and they can do so.
"As IL Is, though st. louis has
progressed since 1911 to a remark
able degree through the central
council and the CHAMBER of COM
merce committee, it is generally
agreed that the greater 'es1lts from
their efforts is that tho workers OF
charitable, philanthropic and social
service organizations come together
for the purpose OF co-operatlon and
to gain a better understanding Of
one another's activities than was
possible under the old order"
The community fund idea adopted
by st. Louis is similar to the per-
manent community trust fund main
tanned by the Exchange Trust COM
pany OF Tulsa, and whose committee
is named by the federal judge OF this
district, the Judge of the superior
or district court OF Tulsa county the
judge of the probate court of Tulsa
county, and the board OF directors
Of the Exchange Trust. The idea,
conceived In 1914 by i. II. Goff.
president of the Cleveland Trust
company, had since then its incep-
tion in 20 enterprising. cities, Tulsa
among them.

berculosis

OKLAHOMA CITY. April -
Bovine tuberculosis among cattle.
as well as among people, caused the
state of oklahoma one OF its great
est financial losses during the year
1920, according to statement
issued here by state and federal
veterinarians cooperating. The re-
port says that despite concerted ef-
forts on the part OF veterinarians to
combat the disease IL has not yet
been curtailed and is becoming more
alarming each year.
The report deals in figures on pco-
pie who have contracted the disease
through use of infected cows milk
or meat, as well as figures touching
upon the number of cattle treated
and infected during the last year.
Through three tests that have been
accepted to rid herds OF the state
that were reported tubercularly in
fccted, the losses last year were con-
siderablY cut down, the report says.
Statistics are quoted showing that
bovine tuberculosis was directly re-
Hponsible for 5S per cent OF child
infection OF abdominal tuberculosis;
Gi per cent of cervical gland
tuberculosis and co per cent OF all
forms OF tuberculosis among chill
dren exclusive OF pulmonary tuber-
Culosis.
Indenmities on infected cattle are
allowed by the state and federal
government providing owners OF
such cattle have entered into an
agreement with agricultural officials
for tubercular tests These tests are
made without charge and the in
fected animals that show reaction
are tagged and branded. on ami
mails that are killed the state pays
one-half the appraised value OF the
animal, less what salvage is received
from the commission handling same.

pending upon the press the postofd-
ces and the banks to let the small
investor know about the opportunity.
A dignified effort will be made by the
Treasury Department to reach the
small investor and it is felt by the
Government that at last a security
has been evolved which gives the
'fsmal1 fellow" as good a chance as
the "big fellow on attractive gov
ernment securities.
Officials say there is no especial re-
lationship between the announcement
of the new issue of Treasury certifi
Gates this week and the fact that
Liberty Bonds are back at their ori-
ginal par value. But the fact is the
Treasury has been working on the
new plan ever since it was apparent
that Liberty BoEfs were starting
back to par. The psychological value.
nevertheless, of announcing the new
issue at the very moment when Lib
, erty Bonds touched par is appreciat-
ed. So many small Investors bought
| Liberty Bonds without knowing that
market values could cause them to
drop in price that the government
now is benefited by being able to
point to the par value of bonds as
proof of the original promises OF the
