CHAIN GROCERIES CREATE ROMANCE IN BUSINESS WORLD
Twenty Thousand Do Nearly 10 Per Cent Of Nations
 Transactions

NEW YORK, Sept. s.-One of the greatest romances in American retail business has been the growth of chain grocery stores. 10000 of which now transact slightly less than 10 per cent of the nations retail gro cery business, estimated at $20,000, tio of growth is maintained, this will be increased to 25 per cent within tho next five years.
 | Economy of operation by reason | of the fact that the business is trans acted on a cash basis with Ia heavy turnover and small profits. and the rapid development of American sub urban and community life, have been the two main factors responsible for this tremendous growth. Scientific i investigation has revealed that a community of 1000 persons will per init the operation of chain store grocery at satisfactory profits, all though one store can serve several times that number.
 The first cfain grocery stores in the country were viewed with suspi- cion on the theory that the lower prices they charged meant inferior products. This feeling, however. has to large extent disappeared, mainly due to the fact that the chain stores
 
 articles at prices below those charged | by independent grocers.
 A. 6 F. Pioneers.
 The pioneer in the chain store field was the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea company. which was established in 1858. This concern now has more than 5000 stores doing an annual business of approximately t25o.oOo,- 00o. Unlike a number of other chain store concerns. the ownership and control of this organization has re- mained in the hands of one family. | The second largest chain grocery firm Is the Jones Brothers Tea com pany, which started with one store in Scranton, Pa. in 1872. and now annual business of approximately | $40. .000. .o00.
 The Jewel Tea company has 527 branches, from which 21,864 wagon and motor truck routes operate in 43 states. Scattered throughout the | country also are more than 300 Pig | gly Wiggly stores, although they are not all owned by the same corpora ton.
 Perhaps the greatest chain store concorn in the country outside the grocery field is the F. w. Woolworth company, which started with one store in Lancaster, Pa, in 1879 and now operates more than 1900 stores. doing an annual gross business of over $167.0o0.0 .000. The United Cigar stores have approximately 2.450 | stores.
 Other large chain store concerns are the J. c. Penney company. oper- ating 3S2 department stores. doing an annual business of more than $50, 900, 900; the s. s. Kresge company, ] with PIP stores and an annual gross business in excess of 5000. 900; Schuite Retail Stores corporation with 23s stores In 1922. doing an ans nual business of nearly f26.000, 900 the United Drug company, with more than 250 stores; the G.

COOLIDGE, JOHN CAL WIN
Dropped The John Part As Useless
 Oklahoma Cousin Says

Dropped The John Part As Useless,
 Oklahoma Cousin Says
 One of the quietest and most mod est men in the faculty of the Uni versity of Oklahoma Is Hiram Dun lap Moore. & first cousin of President Coolidge.
 Professor Moore's father, Frank lin c. Moore. and MT. Coolidgo's mother, Mrs. Victoria P. Moore Cool fdge, were brother and sister. Moore was born in Plymouth. Vt, near the old Coolidge farm at Plymouth Notch. and has known "Cal" as he calls the President, all his life.
 "One thing Cal did when a young dropping of part of his name" Pro- lessor Moore said. He was named John Calvin and he decided that the John was useless. He dropped that name and few people now know that the President ever had a name other than Calvin.
 Calvin always has been slow to make up his mind but determined when once he made 1t up. When a child he would ponder long over a problem, dig into everything avail able to learn solution and when he finally came to a decision, 1t stood unless 1t ran counter to the mind of his father. John Calvin also is a strong minded man.
 The President Is bringing up \his boys by the the same strict New Eng land code John Coolidge applied to him. Like the President, the two boys are wearing cowhide boots cobbled by a Vermont cobbler, much to the dislike of the boys" Professor Moore added.-Daily Oklahoma.

Canary Exodus
 Into Cats Ends Sput YowLer

After a meeting of stockhold- CTS Thursday It was decided to close the Hotel Sput owler for the season, as rooms were so rap idly vacated the help struck for lack of work.
 When the season was at its height the Sput-Yowler was host to Il canaries and all went well, amid music, bird seed, sweet warbling and an occasional float ing feather. Then one day 1t was decided to let out the lower floor to cats. It was done and the upper floor was soon vacant. In fact, the vacating was an occurance of one night. The canaries were in cages, but, worse luck, the cats were not, and the result was the canaries were soon in the cats.
 Last spring it was proposed to open hotel for pets, so the crea- lures would have good care when families went on vacations. A building was chosen, the canary indulging public notified and soon guests began to arrive. No sort of varmit was barred; a coon had the entre as well as a monkey. Dogs were considered desirable, and squirrels and cats were not barred. Soon the little hotel is said to have taken on the appearance of the nenageries in Avondale with all sorts of queer noises arising from It at the most unheard of hours.
 Then the three cats arrived, & fluffy Persian, an Angora and one of those keen, sleek, panther Iike 6 ancestor-laclxing beasts that are always hungry. This particular animal is believed to set the bad example, for in the small hours of the night a canary was heard to lqueak. The other cats took the hint and their share of the ,anaries.
 Now the Hotel Sput-Yowler is Is for rent.

.LOWDEN POLITICAL. BEE HUNS AGAIN
 FUR NOM|NATIO ION
Derby Skimmlng Towards Presidential Ring As Friend
 Sees PaCifist
By RODNEY F. BUTCHER

(LenBed Wire to The Age-Heralu
 CHICAGO, Sept. S.-The derby of Frank o. Lowden, which threatened to adorn a presidential head in the primaries and the republican nG- tional convention of 1920, Is now skimming toward the presidential ring of 1924.
 Lowden's personal and political as- sociates are admitting that the for mer Illinois governor will be can didate for the republican nomination next year against President Cool fdga, Senator Hiram Johnson and any others who may bare their heads in aspiration.
 The conviction in Illinois politics that Lowden, because of his reported ambition for higher things, is not to be considered as a candidate to de- feat Governor Len Small when the latter runs for reelection, has al- ready been the signal for new ac- ttvity in the camps of the factions opposed to the Small-Lundin-Thom aon machine, which will try to stage . comeback by re-electing Small and sending former Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago to the United States Senate. Half dozen men who want to be the anti-Small en- some word from Lowden, but are now beginning to make their plans without it.
 With Lowden at the head of the national ticket, the G. o. P. can unite all factions in the party and all classes among the American people, according to Congressman W. B. Huh, who is considered as close to Lsowden as any other politician in
 If the party should go to the east and select Coolidge or Hughes" says | states would vote for them, but the northwest and western statees, many of which are dominated by radicals at the present time, would not.
 If we should so to the far west and take Johnson or Borah. my central west would not support them, and certain loss of some of the eastern states would make either of them impossible. And if LaFol- 1ette should by any accident receive the nomination he would certainly carry the party to defeat. The party is not yet ready for radicalism.
 s.Lowden is one of the best gov- ernors that any state in tho union ever had. He led all candidates in his last ballot in 1920 and many who were posted believed if he had not withdrawn his name-he withdrew 1t in the interest of the republican party-he would have eventually been nominated.
 "Today we have the west against the east: the conservative against the radical; so where is lightning more liable to strike than right in our midst?
 'Iowden will be a candidate ana will be nominated, because the farm ers will be for him, because they have confidence in him; the laboring man has always been favorable to- s ward him, and last of all, the busi- ness men of the country want a busi- ness man who is conservative TOT President of the United States"
 Lowden himself Is maintaining discreet silence.
