AMERICAS WORLD LEADERSHIP

According to statistics collected by
the National Industrial Conference
Board the United States produces
over one-half of the worlds copper;
almost two-thirds Of the worlds pig
iron; nearly three-fourths of the
worlds petroleum; over one-half of
the worlds cotton and almost one
half of the worlds lumber
1t supplies more than 43 per cent of
the worlds coal; nearly 60 per cent
of the worlds steel ingots and cast
ings and 57.4 per cent of the worlds
paper
That the United States, with only
about 5 per cent of the worlds area
and only six per cent of the worlds
population, should hold this command
ing economic position is not due to
its vast natural resources alone. It's
supremacy is not mere accident, nor
is it mere coincidence that with
its economic leadership goes leader
ship in the development of all forms
of communication facilities upon which
industrial and commercial progress is
vitality dependent.

What Foods Are Cheapest

of freshness by the time the con-
sumner gets them. They are there
fore not worth their high price. The
prepared foods, on the contrary, were
canned while absolutely fresh, and
their valuable properties have all been
retained in the air-tight can. Second
ly, there is no waste to be eliminated
from the ready-to-serve foods, where
as much must be removed from fresh
foods before they are ready for cook
ing or serving.
Another economical feature of can
ned foods is the fact that many stores
have frequent special sales" of two
cans for Is cents, three for % cents,
etcetera. AS these prepared foods
keep indefinitely, the consumer is not
afraid to stock up with them and
thus reap the benefit of the lower
prices; in addition, gaining the con-
venience of having a variety always
on hand, ready to serve at a moments
notice.
In reducing their surplus stock by
reducing their prices, the American
food-packers are really casting their
bread upon the waters" 1t will re-
turn to them, not only in enormously
increased future sales, but in
strengthened confidence on the part
of the public. For there is rapidly
spreading realization of the fact that
nowhere are the laws of hygiene and
sanitation more rigidly observed arid
enforced, today, than in the CONNER
cial preparation of the worlds foods.
And when to this is added the further
advantage of economy, the consumer
is not slow to respond.

OF selling them at exceedingly low
prices. In so doing, they have in
directly entered upon one of the most
extensive advertising campaigns ever
undertaken by them.
It IS campaign of education. Vast
numbers of people, taking advantage
Of this great price-reduction, are
learning the convenience, economy and
excellence of ready-to-serve foods
In other words, they are being edit
Gated to eat more of them, in prefer
ence to the more expensive and less
easily obtained fresh foods-so-called
For instance, those who have used
dozen cans of corn, this year, will
buy two dozen next year. And so it
will be with all kinds of canned foods.
"The proof of the pudding is in the
eating Ready-to-serve foods have
advertised themselves for all time.
In figuring the comparative cost of
fresh and canned foods, the season of
the year must be taken into account.
In all save the extreme southern and
southwestern sections of the United
States, fresh foods have to be carried
long distance in the winter months.
Consequently, high prices must neces-
sarily be charged for them. At this
season, therefore, the economy of pre-
pared foods is unquestionable.
This economy, however, lies not
alone in the low price, but in the
value obtained from the canned prod
ucts, as compared with that obtained
from fresh foods. In the first place,
fresh foods brought from a distance,
and passing through innumerable
hands en- route, have lost the quality

OPERATOR rs HONORED
FOR HEROIC ACTION

Sarah j. Rookie, Folsom New
Mexico) telephone operator, who per-
ished in the flood waters of the Cimar-
ron River, has been honored by her
former associates who have placed
monument to her memory.
Miss Rookie, an operator employed
by the Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company, stayed at the
switchboard during severe food
warning people of the approaching
danger, and thus lost her life that
others might live. While nineteen
people were drowned, hundreds were
saved by the heroic action of this
brave telephone girl who stuck to her
post until the building was carried
away.

SOMETHING NEW
UNDER TEE SUN

An unusual use of telephone service
was recently demonstrated in Rich
nond, Va, when J. c. Lawrence, presi-
-ent of a large rubber company, cat
ended" a conference in that city by
ols distance telephone from Chicago.
Mr.. Lawrence was unable to reach
edmond in time to attend a sales
..en's conference in the Offices OF
:ichard Gwathmey & Co., local dis
ributors for his firm, because of a
ain wreck. Not wishing to delay the
conference, he Immediately arranged
With the telephone company for long
.ii.tance line to Richmond.
The telephone company arranged
for quick installation of special APP
paratus, including eleven headsets, at
Richmond, the headsets being so con-
nccted that each man at the confer
,ICe could hear Mr.. Lawrence from
-hicag0.
The conference was conducted by
Z. c. Toone, secretary-treasurer of the
Richmond Company. Mr.. Toone con-
Yarsed with Mr. Lawrence, and then
Mr.. Lawrence made his talk, which
continued for forty-seven minutes.
All the statesmen heard clearly, and
the conference was considered as sue
cessful as if Mr.. Lawrence had been
there in person. All questions of the
statesmen were relayed by Mr.. Toone,
as he was the only member of the
conference in Richmond equipped to
talk to Mr.. Lawrence.
1t is believed that this is the first
conference held over so long tele-
phone circuit, and requiring special
facilities. Its Importance was due to
the fact that the Richmond company
was making its annual special drive
for business, and Mr. Lawrence wanted
TO discuss the rubber situation with
them.

EJACULATION Of the foe . ldget
RN of the home requires ia .llarity
a. N with current food prices. Food
values also enter into this question.
What type of foods yield the most MI
triment for the least money, and at the
same time appeal to the family taste?
These things merit study and obser-
walton. Careful consideration OF food
advertisements is perhaps one of the
best methods of becoming posted on
the subject in general.
Advertising is an important factor
in modern life. Everything we are
likely to need, from the cradle to the
grave, is persistently called to our
attention. No matter where we go,
we cannot escape being told what is
good for us, nor reminded of the
things that make life worth living
and how cheaply we can get them.
This is direct advertising. And
equally effective, sometimes, is indi-
rect advertising. Just now, the food
packers of America are Involuntary
doing this indirect advertising on a
very large scale, because of the ex-
ceedingly large food pack of last
year. Canned foods are now being
sold at remarkably low prices. This
is not done with the specific purpose
of advertising, but rather for the sake
of marketing surplus stock.
Last summer, there were unusually
rge crops of practically all the staple
vegetables. In consequence the can
ners worked overtime, packing a
tremendous quantity of these foods.
To get quick market for the supply
on hand, they have adopted the plan

The importance of the discovery, 1t

fact that petroleum experts have re

of oil, fearing depletion of the ma

wells II will more than treble their
production and will completely revo-

The Doherty scheme was said to

great advantages over the Lewis

The two-thirds remaining below the

not all the oil can he obtained.
Under present mining methods,
many wells give up only about one
