periods of expensive peak production, in
cancellations and claims for adjustment.
The manufacturer who employs out
worn selling methods is not doing his
duty to himself, to his stockholders and
to his city.
In holding his own business back, he
is holding back the progress of the whole
community.
Some Philadelphia manufacturers who
have been sending their goods to the
consumer through devious channels, with
pyramided costs and profits, are begin
ming to see the light of a new era in
selling.
When will those Philadelphia manu-
facturers who are afraid of modern ad-
vertising learn that the thing they ought
to fear is their failure TO advertise?

A KICK ON FREIGHT RATES

We also want to call the attention
of the Railroad commissioners to the
gross injustice of express rates. For
instance: a ten pound package from
Ocala to Summerfield, 16 miles, now
costs Al cents, while a Is pound pack
age from Atlanta, 400 miles. costs only
40 cents. When kick is entered We
are told the rates are commodity
rates: that is one article taking a
higher rate than another article. Give
us back the old time rates. whether
its on ten pounds of sugar or ten
pounds of lead and whether its short
or long haul. The express and
freight rates are an outrage and our
railroad commissioners should see
that the rates are lowered Summer

THE U. S. MUST LEAD THE WAY
FOR DISARMAMENT

A special from Washington says
that another of the American COM
missioners who helped draft the treaty
of Versailles Henry White, ambassa-
dor to France under President Roose-
velt--told the house naval committee
that the time was ripe for world dis
armament and that the United States
should initiate the movement.
General Pershing's views will be
sought next Tuesday.
The committee already has heard
General Tasker H Bliss, former
American representative on the SUI
preme war council and member or
the peace delegation; Secretary OF the
Navy Daniels and Acting Secretary
Davis of the staet department. Wheth-
8er it will hold further hearings after
Tuesday has not been determined
Mr.. White gave it as his opinion
that the great burden of taxation re-
sulting from the World War made the
peoples of all nations anxious to cut
down on expenditures for armaments.
He expressed it that the world was
crying for some agreement to limit
ornaments as means of reducing
taxes.
Would Have Y. S. Complete Its Pro
]. gram First
Discussing the proposed naval holi-
day the former ambassador said he
did not think the United States should
stop the naval construction it now has
under way. He said he would like to
see the United States at the top when
the disarmament discussion begins
and suggested that the relative sizes
of navies could be fixed by agreement
of the proposed conference. He added
that questions raised at the confer
ence might show the right of some
nations Great Britain for instance
to a larger navy than Others
Because OF the threatened spread
of bolshevism, the witness said.
France might object to disarmament
on land. In this connection he said
that the state Of chos' in which Ger
many had been kept up over the Ques-
tion of reparations was doing more
to open the way to bolshevism thans
any other single factor.
AS TO the time of calling al confer
ence. Mr.. White said that should be
left to President-elect Harding. He
did not think President Wilson should
call it as the fact that he would retire
on March might lead the other ma
tions not to take the invitation
seriously.
II do not favor the United States
being the only nation to disarm. said
the former ambassador.
THE United States should take the
initiative in the movement If a dis
armament congress is held Any
gathering looking to general disarma-
ment should include France and Italy
as well as the United States, Great
Britain and Japan. the former am
bassador said. "but discussions look
ing to a reduction of naval building
only should be limited. for the present

NO DEMAND FOR
COAL; STORAGE
SPACE PROBLEM
(By The Associated Press }

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug docks
at the head of the lakes are practically
blockaded with coal, which is not NOV
ing inland because of lack Of demand,
according to w. w. Broughton, presi-
dent Of the Northwest Coal Dock Op-
orators Association.
Unless there is substantial in
crease in demand from the consuming
public very soon, so that the shipments
can be made to inland points from the
Head of the Lakes to make room for
the necessary additional receipts" Mr..
BrOught0n said. "the total tonnage of
coal received before the lakes close to
navigation will not equal that Of last
year, and may cause coal shortage
in the Northwest"
Figures supplied by Mr.. BroughtOn
up to July 90 give total receipts Of
bituminous coal at Duluth, Superior
and Ashland at 4.S63OOO tons as COM
pared to 6,5S9,OOO tons for the entire
year of 1920. Receipts of Anthracite
coal we're 7O5, 200 tons as compared to

TOO MANY MINES
AND MINERS is
COAL'PROBLEM

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. There are
two things the matter with the coal
mining industry in the United States,
according to John T. White, former
president Of the United Mine Workers
of America,-too many mines and too
many miners.
Instead of operating only the mines
that are economically profitable. we
run them all--part time-and calculate
a price which gives a profit to the own
er of the mine where expenses are
greatest" said Mr.. White. ''That gives
him fair profit, and makes an un-
reasonable profit for some of the
others.
There are whole lot of mines in
Kansas, Missouri, Texas. Arkansas,
and my own state of Iowa that ought
to he closed down. In normal times
they cannot produce coal at fair
price and make profit. Consequently
they are idle much of the time, and
their miners are out of work"
Mr.. White, who was here recently at
tending wage conference between
miners and operators of the southwest,
was Il member of DIR. Garfield's fed
eral fuel administration during the
war.

the situation by taking their places.
The result is that bountiful crops are

According to reports the scheme is
working out well and Il single district
