THE CONSUMERS DOLLAR

If the public would cooperata
with retail merchants in every wa
in avoiding wastes. considerable
fraction of the consumers dollar
now wasted could be saved.
Tho most costly of the practice.
which the consumer can help avois
is the delivery system. At the pres
ent cost of operating automobiles
and teams. delivery adds II consid-
cradle percentage to the price you
pay for goods While some peopL
can not well spare the time to do
their own marketing, and while {,
few heavy classes of merchandise.
must necessarily be delivered, three
quarters Of the stuff now carted
to the homes of purchasers could
Just as well be carried by the Gus,
toner.
The credit habit takes something
from the consumers dollar Bad
debts must be allowed for in max
ing price. Even more of an item
is the interest on money tied up
in accounts. Even if you pay your
credit bill every month, the dealer
must borrow enough money to pay
for the goods he has advanced to
you, and he must pay interest on
that loan and charge the same up
to the public.
One OF the most helpful things
you can do to keep the cost of goods
down, is to watch the newspaper
advertising and take advantage OF
special offerings. Where large
number of people do that, dealres
keep their stock moving rapidly.
The stock that turns over quickly
is the one in which the consumers
dollar is most economically handli-
ed Any family in Holly that will
watch these special announcements
and buy ahead of their needs if
necessary in order to sap up bar
gain, can save around 20 per cent O.
their costs of living, perhaps more
than that.

MEMORIAL TREES FOR
PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.

Tho Chicago Tribune has started
a movement which if carried out
would result in the planting Of a
tree in the United States in mem
org OF every man who who served
in the army or navy during the
world war. The suggestion origin
ally came from James Kelley, n
Chicago newspaper man but Is a
dopted and amplifled by the Trib
unA.
A tree would be q living monu.
ment to our soldiers and sailors
In France and other European
countries there are trees On every
main road. The first battle of the
Marne resulted in cutting off great
Elm trees on big public road lead
ing into Paris. although the trunks
of the trees were larger than u
mans body.
This country is growing older and
trees on public highways no longer
operate to prevent the roads from
drying UP after a rain. Therefore
this country can afford to have trees
On the public highways. Before
the trees are tall enough to shut
out the sunshine, the principal
roads will be paved.
The Tribune's suggestion ought
to be ratified everywhere. Its re-
suits would be of great benefit to
the country at large where it is
possible to grow trees. 1t has been
estimated roughly that line OF
trees set at thirty-fOot intervals on
both sides of he national highway
from New York to San Francisco
and still leave more than half, the
men without representation.
But the planting of these trees
Is to be placed on higher ground
than a material benefit. Our pat
riotic defenders, living Or dead,
without regard to the locality of
their service are to be honored.
1t Is to be hoped that this move
ment may be ratified by all organ
iations representing service in any
Of our American wars-Des Moines

Bureau Reports Greater Efficien-

United States.
no TONS IN TRAINS HERE
In Great Britain Average Is $50 Tons
OF Freight-Would Take Three
Times as Many British Cars to
Handle Our Loads.

New YOrk.-The bureau of railway
economics has prepared memoran-
dunn comparing operating results on
British and American railroads, which
shows that the average trainload in
Great Britain for the six months to
June 30, 1920, was $50 tons, while that
for the United States for the same
period was ITO tons. Operating and
traffic, as well as geographical, condi-
lions in the United States and Eng
land, it is explained, are so different
that comparisons of train or car load
ing may be considered misleading, hut
1t Is pointed out that direct COM
parison, designed to set out the differ
ences In detail, must have some value,
especially when all the factors In the
comparison are taken into account.
The average freight train load in
the United States in 1888 was 176
tons; in 1898, 226 tons in 1908, $50
tons; in 1918, 62S tons, and in 1920,
for six months. no tons. Every dec
AIDE from the first has shown marked
advances, with the curious coincidence
that in 1888 the average trainload in
this country was greater than the Brit
ish average for 1920. while the Amer
lean average for 1883 was almost the
same as that for one or two of the in
dividual companies that top the list
in England today.

OF them are of necessity being cared

as "fimsy and inflammable."
In his letter to Senator Ashurst the
surgeon general says:
Il wish to invite your attention to
the fact that since June 2, 1920, the
date ON which the France bill, to au-

The present rate of increase in pa-
