THERE is a word often
used by economists. That
word is utility"
When you buy merchan-
disc you pay for three utili-
ties. You pay for form util-
ity-time utility and place
utility.
Form utility is given by
the manufacturer who takes
raw goods and puts them in
to the form and condition
contrives from them the ar
ticle that you can use.
Time utility is given by
the wholesaler who pays for
transporting the article to
the general district where
such goods are needed and
then stores it until such time
as his retail customers have
a demand for it.
Place utility is given by
the retailer who anticipates
your wants by having it here
at hand so that instead of
travelling long distances to
secure this article you have
it right at hand without the
expense of delay or trouble
ON your part.
These utilities are eternal.
Not one of them can be dis
pensed with and they must
be paid for. The only differ
ence is that the Peddler
handling a specially must
charge you more for deiIv-
ering these three utilities
than the old established
chain of manufacturer,
wholesaler and retailer has
to charge.
That is due to the Peddler
handling one specially
where the cost must fall
heavier than where the cost
is apportioned over a mass
of merchandise of many diff
ferent lines. Moreover the
Peddler is not equipped to
deliver these utilities at a
minimum cost.

in the regular way.
The bare, bald,
plain truth is that all
the Peddler S talk
about saving you
money is sheer bunk.
His costs run so high
that the ordinary
firm would go broke
from just one item
thatthe peddler sflrm
meets among many
other high costs. We
refer to the cost of
hiring and training
its sales force which
Mr.. T. K Kelly,
banker, sales author
ity and president Of
the T. K. Kelly Sales
System, Minneapolis,
Minnesota, declares
will cost from 90 to
$50 per cent higher
than the same item
does in the regular
channels of distribu-
ton.
Yes---it's safer to
spend your money
at home.

 In daylight hours a constant hu- man stream jostles through the tow cred Iberian Gate in the wall be- tween the Red Square and the Place of the Revolution outside the Gitai Gorod Mortified City). Men in sheepskin coats, the greasy leather jackets, officials with beaver collars, briefcases under their arms; women in felt boots; girls in slippers with bundles, babies, and carts, were tramping through the slush, for this was winter evening. .....
 Between the gates in the center of the road is a shrine and inside the wall a church. The faithful pause and make the sign of the cross as they pass. Others enter. Patriarch al, bearded heggers, hands out stretched, stand at the doors.
 Vendors Of Sunflower Seeds
 The crowds elbow through the white-painted brick gates, in and out of the Red Square, between a gauntlet of vendors. Baskets in clumsy little wagons are on the curb; also flabby, brown. frozen ap- fully sheltered under blankets for 40 cents: stands of cigarettes, each with one and a quarter inches of to- hacco and three inches of paper mouthpiece; oranges for 70 cents; cheeses, cut and weighed while you wait; candies collecting dust; dried sunflower seeds, two cents a glass ful.
 Along the faces of the buildings are the vendors of notions; a dis play of steel engravings and col ored Autographs on the sidewalk; women coyly dangling handfuls of homemade brassieres, as numerous in Moscow as milking machines at a country fair; tables of books; Soviet in paper covers, and other languages in faded leather.
 There are also cobblers with sec ondhand shoes and rubber heels cut from automobile tires; talkative youths shaking sticks strung with women's garters Of gaudy colors and fimsy buckles; display of socks, stockings and handkerchiefs; leather and woolen gloves, tin and wooden toys, rubber penny squeakers, shoestrings - a sidewalk department store"

 In moving for sentence, District Attorney Arthur K. Reading re- viewed the crime of which Gedzium was convicted, the staying of a Cambridge bank messenger during payroll robbery. and declared he be- lieved the 19 year old girl was act ing for two other men implicated in the murder In a desperate plot to enable Gedzium to shoot his way out of the jail.
 The district attorney told the court the girl had been informed that lenient sentence would be recommended if she chose to tell the government the names of the persons who gave her the pistol, but that she refused. and had com- mitted perjury by testifying at her trial that she did not know the pistol was in the chicken.
 District Attorney Reading re- vealed that $50 bill which had 1 been smuggled into the jail was | found on Gedzium.
 In imposing sentence. Judge William A. Burns expressed opin- i ion that the girl had deliberately lied on the witness stand and char
 acterized her offense as "a serious
 one,' when the sentence was impos,

 her arrest broke down and began to

RED SQUARE IS
 BURIAL CENTER
Here the SoYietS Inter Their
 Leaders

Washington, D. c. Dec. 17-Leon- i'd Krassin, envoy of the Soviet gov ernment to England, was passed away in London. was buried with honors in Red Square Moscow, ac- cording to newspaper dispatch.
 Junius B. Wood describes Red Square and tells its significance to Russia in communication to the National Geographic Society.
 "A late winter sun was casting it's long shadows across Moscow's Red Square. early one evening, as start ed for the opening meeting Of the Tz. I. K. Central Executive Com inittee) in the Great Palace of the Kremlin. Red was the favorite col CT of Tsar and Muzhik, and the Rel Square was the Red Square cen turtles before Bolshevism or Com munism adopted the color as its battle flag.
 Burial Place of American.
 The delegates to the Tz. I. K. alone or in two's and three's, made their way through the crowd. Pud- des of water with the first spider webs of the nightly frost alternated with dirty patches Of winter ice on the Red Square. Along the terrace where the grave of John Reed, American, has place in the slowly growing line of departed Soviet leaders, outside the nile-and -a-quar- ter 65-foot wall which surrounds the Kremlin, snow showed white beneath the winter grime.
 "Lenin's temporary wooden mausoleum, a squat cube on the north side of the square, dwarfed by the towering wall behind, is a world shrine of Communism. Sem tries on guard and a double line of visitors waits to enter for a glimpse of the leader whose teachings still live. His body lies under glass.
 Through the centuries the bull bous, gaudy domes of St. Basirs cathedral have looked down on the Red Square, watching Russian his tory, just as they still rise serene as the square echoes to the tramp of the Red army and Soviet workers and the blare of electric amplifiers as party orators hold forth on the platform on Lenin's tomb.
 Tsars Proclaimed; Pretcnders Killed
 From the stone rostrum in front of the cathedral the ukases of the Tsars were read. Before its doors Peter the Great executed several hundred of the Streltzi, the old Mus covite militia. Here Tsars were pro-

HORSE RACING
ATSTATEFAIR
HELD ILLEGAL
Supreme Court Rules Against
Man Suing Because Certain
Race Was Cancelled

Laws authorizing and appr0priating
state money for fairs and exhibits of
livestock, agricultural and horticul-
tural products may not be interpret
ed as permitting horse racing in
North Dakota, the supreme court held
today in the case of John d. Erickson
VS.. the North Dakota State Fair As
sOciatiOn Of Fargo.
Erickson had sued for damages
which he claimed as the result of
action by the fair association in call
ing off Il race in which he had enter
ed a horse. The lower court denied
the claim. In it's decision today the
supreme court held that Erickson had
no legal remedy because the contract
was illegal i'm that it was an agree
ment to do something which was, in
itself, contrary to law.
Prohibited by Law
Hose racing for a prize. premium or
purse is within the prohibition of the
statute forbidding all racing or trials
of speed between horses or animals,
for any bet, stake or reward" the
court held. The laws authorizing
fairs, it added, are not special laws
authorizing horse racing for q re-
ward.
Contracts to race horses are unen-
forcible, the decision held, because
"courts will not lend their aid to
parties engaged in illegal transac-
tiOns."

Tom Walsh Is Up in Arms Agai1--Hero of
Teapot Dome Is After New Maine SENATOR

Washington, Dec. 1G.--(NEA)-
Bulldog Tom" Walsh, the hero Of
Teapot Dome, is on the warpath
again.
His sudden challenge Of the fit
ness Of Arthur K. Gould Of Maine to
sit in the senate was SO unexpected
that some Of his Democratic col.
leagues are wondering il he is mere
~ seeking to settle q question Of the
senate's right to expel in such u
case, or if he isn't perhaps
laying some groundwork for
the fight Democrats are ex-
pectcd to make against tho
seating Of William S. Ware of
Pennsylvania and Frank l.. Smith 0f
Illinois next year.
As he. made his speech on behalf
of his resolution for a committee in.
vestigation Of the Gould charges, his
desk was piled high with reference
books, from which he read rather
copiously in order to fOrestall the
cOunter-attack of the Republicans,
led by Senator David A. Reed Of
Pennsylvania. He argued as Il judge
might deliver a charge to the jury,
citing some precedents favorable to
his case and some that were not.
A Striking Figure
The Montana senator makes q
striking figure as he stands arguing
questions Of law and precedence. No
man in the chamber is better in
formed on these subjects than he.
His immaculate appearance-he
wears frock coat and dark gray
trousers-and his bristling whita
mustache add the impression he seeks
to make as he dwells on the "pro-
found Importance" of the question ut
issue.
Walsh himself says that the fate
of Gould isn't important--it's the
principle of the thing. Can the senate
fire Gould under the circumstances
and if not, then what? He has taken
went out, his Democratic opponent
in the recent election would not sue
ceed him.
It is not difficult to believe Walsh
when he says that his prime motives
are not political.
Walsh Knows Law
Walsh's knowledge of constitutional
law and most other sorts Of law-and
his ability to handle them-Are IA.
nous. In the old days in Montana
his legal brilliance was the astonish-
ment Of high-priced and supposedly
superior lawyers imported from the
cast for important cases.
He fought the copper interests bit
terly on many occasions; he was never
a corporation lawyer. Until the time
he came to the senate, most of the
labor legislation passed in Montana
had been drafted by Walsh.
Always he was noted for the bull.
dog tenaciousncss with which he
later went after and uncovered the
oil scandals. Before he entered poll
ties he was especially noted for his
knowledge Of mining law.
Today, there probably is not an
other man in Congress whose office
contains anywhere near as many
reference books as Walsh's. There Is
complete library Of all federal
statutes and supreme court reports.

reference books on legislation and

Scheidemann Charges Secret
Fund For Aiding Russian

Berlin, Dec. l6.-(R-Bedlam
broke loose in the Reichstag today
when Philipp Scheidemann, head OF
the Social Democrats, attacking de-
fense Minister Gessler, charged that
. secret fund existed in the budget
for the manufacture and boarding of
arms and airplanes in Russia.
To this the right parties shouted
Traitor! Bhckguard!"
Pointing to the diplomatic box in
which foreign representatives., includ-
ing American Ambassador Schurman.
were seated, the nationalists cried:
why reveal these things to our
Nenemies Then they left the cham
bep
Herr ScheidemanR, who vas leading
q socialist attack aimed at the over
throw Of the Marx cabinet, replied
that the allies knew all about the
"rotten mihtaristic conditions in Ger
many" and added: 1--WE might as
we'll correct these conditions our
selves rs have the allies act for u.s."
Marx Denies Charges
Chancellor Marx, replying to
Scheidemann, denied the latter's ac-
cusations that government funds were
being diverted literally for militarist
purposes. He declared that the reichs-
wehr was considered dependable in
strument for safeguarding the state.
He also stated that Scheidemann's
charges regarding the boarding of
arms and illegal militaristic organi-
cations referred to conditions Of
years ago but which were nonexist-
ent now.
Chancellor Marx intimated that his
cabinet was now through with at
tempts to bring socialists into the
coalition government.
Close followers Of the political sit
uati0n expressed the opinion later
that the position Of the cabinet now
appears more secure.
