BARRYMORE HIS OWN
RIVAL IN NEW YORK
IN Jim, THE PENMAN'

1t is seldom that an actor has
the distinction Of having his name
in electric signs on two Of New
York's uptown theaters at the same
time. Lionel Barrymore recently
had the distinction of competing
with himself for patronage in two

Fair Comparison.
A list of fourteen western cities
similarly situated as Albuquerque
and of about the same size are re-
ferred to showing the prices for
telephone service. OF the fourteen
cities two have a lower one-party
business rate and twelve rate
running from Sc to SIS year
higher; two have lower two
party business rate; five have q
lower one-party residence rate and
the others tMe same rate as pro-
posed here; all of the cities have a
lower two-party residence rate and
five have a lower four-party resi-
dence rate. The Albuquerque rates
compared are not the present but
the proposed increased ones.
commenting upon the fact that
the court might take such list as
a working base under the quoted
paragraph OF the contract, Mr..
Downer concluded his opinion as
follows:
Advises Against Suit.
1T might be that through liti-
CATION a slight decrease in the
rates for residence phones might
be secured. However, the way is
open through the same theory for
the telephone company to increase
business rates sufficiently to more
than offset any loss thereby.
''The writer, as representing Mr..
Keleher, the city attorney, is per-
fectly willing to institute the liti-
cation and take the responsibility
thereof, but / do not feel like do
ing so without first calling your
attention to an apparent impossi-
bility or great difficulty in estab-
fishing the facts necessary for the
successful prosecution thereof. /

stances, the matter should have

afternoon,
THE new text books are in the
stores here" said Mr.. Milne.
Most of the students will have
them and the teachers will base
their instruction upon them. 1t
would retard the work of the stu
dent and make the task of the
teacher much more difficult If
some of the members in each class
would attempt to use the old books
II do not wish to enter into any

worth the difference when the
time lost is considered.

as the basis for charge rates and
in a compilation of rates of sim
liar cities. it appears that Albu-
querque is in many instances even
with the proposed increase, paying
a lower residence rate and in
most instances a much lower
residence service rate. Mr.. Dow
ner brought out in his opinion
that this particular paragraph
must be used in governing the
rates or in any action started by
the city to prevent the substitu-
ton of new rates. The contract
was made in 1905 and will not
expire until 1916.
Governing Paragraph.
The paragraph of the contract
which appears to govern the pro-
posed increase in rates is as fol-
lows:
THE Colorado Telephone com
pany (now Mountain States)
hereby reserves the right to ex-
coed said rates when said ex-
change has connected Herewith
list of 1000 telephones, and to
establish such rates as shall
then prevail in exchanges of cities
of similar size and condition as
Albuquerque operated by said
telephone company"
Regarding the effect of this par
agraph. Mr.. Downer points out:
Albuquerque has an excess of
1000 telephone connections and
hence 1t must be under this pro-
vision of the contract that the city
would be entitled to any relief.
Similar Cities Not Lower,
II was Informed by the commit
| tee representing the Rotary club
to the effect that the rates in cities
OF similar size were considerably
lower than either the present or
proposed rates for Albuquerque. In
response to my request you have
submitted me schedule showing

United States claimed to be COM
parable to Albuquerque. An UNI
biased and fair analysis of such
schedule leads to a conclusion at
variance with the statement to the
| effect that the rates in Albuquer-
que were higher than in other
comparable cities.
''In the first place the cities set
forth in the schedule, with the ex-
| ception of Ogden. Utah, and Tue
son. Ariz.. are hardly to be COM
pared with Albuquerque within the
terms of the paragraph in the con-
tract which I have quoted. Several

THE GROWTH OF ADVERTISING
Successful Retail Merchants Have
Usually Been Generous
Advertisers.

The people who have gone on to
big success in retail trade have us
ually been generous advertisers. The
average big city department store
appropriation for publicity is based
on volume of business. The amount
spent in advertising usually varies
from two to five per cent of the
total amount of sales.
A big business keeps computa-
tions showing the amount of space
each department in its store takes,
and the expense of the advertising
is considered charge against that
department. A failure of any de-
partment to get an amount of busi-
ness proportionate to its amount of
advertising is considered to be some
one fault. Commonly it is the
fault either of the merchandise or of
the man who wrote the advertising.
Rarely is it charged up against the
medium in which the notice was
placed.
A department store will frequently
find that it can cut out its over
head expense by increasing its adj
vertising appropriation. A typical
instance was given by large store
in Indianapolis. This store increased
the amount of money spent in local
newspapers during 1919 by 60 per
cent. But the increased advertising
brought in "a per cent increase in
business for the year. The result
was that the percentage of advertis-
ing cost to sales was cut Az per
cent to 31a per cent.
With all the examples of great
businesses built up as result of
advertising, it seems strange that
there is one single merchant left in
the country who feels that he can
neglect this means by which others
have gone on to fortune.
John Wanamaker took in $24.6f
the first day ne was in business. He
kept 81 cents for change, and spent
$2400 in newspaper advertising. In
q Far as the merchants of De-
sz-,ks ss,ss sss s,lale touc1 Of ne genius
that pushed Mr.. Wanamaker ahead
in the business world, they will
make advertising the foundation of
their system.

TO FEED PER CENT OF CORN
Iowa Will Feed 3O9, ,42s,O0O Bushels
This Year.

More than 3O9,42S,OO0 bushels Of
Iowa corn this year will be fec
to live stock on farms of the state
according to estimates compiled by
Frank s. Pinney, agricultural Stats
tician for Iowa of the United States
bureau of crop estimates.
During the ten-year period ending
July 25, Mr.. Pinney estimates that
between 10 per cent and 80 per cent
of the corn grown in Iowa has beer
fed to livestock on farms. With the
average yield at ALI bushels an acre
this would indicate that each acre
planted to corn would yield approx
mately twenty-nine bushels for live
stock feed.
Of the approximately II per cent
of the corn crop fed to live stock,
per cent is placed in silos, 10 per
cent is hogged down" (the live stock
is turned into the growing field to

stored for feed. On this basis 34,O37-
$50 bushels of this Years corn crop
will be "hogged down. 17,01s,54O
bushels will be placed in the states
27,319 silos.
The record for the ten year period
shows that approximately 22 per cent
of the total corn crop is shipped out
of the state each year. This means
that on the basis of the present crop
outlook Iowa will export from the
state about 97,24S,S00 bushels OF
corn this year.
Since the total number of live stock
now on Iowa farms is estimated al
16,07s,000 head, this yield of corr
would furnish slightly more than
nineteen bushels of corn for each
horse, sheep, mule and each head OF
swine, cattle and other live stock in
Iowa.
