Getting the Goods to Market

Millions of dollars are spent annualy-and
not q few of those millions wasted-in bring
ing the products Of American manufacturers to
market. All sorts of distribution schemes are
being tried in the effort to attract some Of that
$4,000, 100000 annually spent in this country
for commodities and services.
Assisting business in solving the riddle OF
distribution is one Of the important functions
now confronting the economic service units OF
the government, according to DR.. julius Klein,
director Of the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce of the commerce department.. DR..
Klein deplores the millions squandered in in
efficient selling efforts-in chasing the mirage
Of national market for commodities whose
best trade lies within the city limits, or in fol-
lowing the phantom Of the full order book at
all costs''
One firm reported to the department. Of COM
merce that one of it's best selling lines was
being handled at loss After some consulta-
ton the company had the courage to drop the
line entirely. One Of its competitors took up
the business, but since then the original COM
pany's profits have shown a decided increase.
There are many firms, however, trying to get
q volume of sales without any relation to cost.
Market research is being rapidly cultivated
and in this the advertising agencies are play
ing an important part. Sound advertising is
a potent stimulator of business, but advertis-
ing service must be based on accurate ap-
praisals of potentialty. This appraisal in
wolves not only study Of population figures,
nor potential buying power, but actual cost of
serving given market after the demand has
been stimulated.
The government is about to release the first
Of series Of regional commercial surveys
which attempt to determine the basic COM
mercial attributes, the factors affecting dis
tribution and the actual status of the buying
power of the various economic areas Of the
country"
The bureaus "Atlas of Wholesale Grocery
Territories" is an example of what the attempt
will be. The atlas is the first attempt ever
made to map out the actual areas served by
grocery jobbng centers throughout the coun-
try, and the savings effected by its use in
avoiding Improbable distributive methods will
exceed $5,000,000 year, according to esti-
mates Of men in the trade.
Market research is practically virgin field
but its intelligent pursuit by manufacturer and
retailer alike will save MILLIONS and make pos
sible lower prices to consumers in all parts OF
the country.

Questions and Answers
Question: Mrs. l.. M. writes:
"Your articles are very good and
enjoy them very much. What is the
cause of abscessed kidneys? What
are the symptoms? How can the
trouble be remedied?"
Answer: Such kidney trouble
sometimes develops simply because
the kidneys are overworked and are
forced to eliminate poisons which
should be thrown out through the in
testines. Another cause is from the
irritation of kidney stones. An abb
scessed kidney is always a serious
trouble, and each case must be prop
erly diagnosed and treated according
". Don't expect the trouble to cure
itself until you remove the cause and
take the proper diet or use what
other remedial treatment is neces-
sary.
Question: N. E. w. asks: us
chewing gum ever beneficial?"
Answer: Chewing gum is benc-
ficial to the gums, increasing the
circulation Of blood through these
parts.
Question:: II. J. d. writ-s: II am
young man and would like to get
rid Of the snuff habit"
Answer: As with all drug habits,
the best cure is simply to stop prac-
ticing the habit. Every time you
have desire to use snuff go to
washstand and snuff few drops Of
water. This is rather unpleasant
but not harmful, and will discourage
you in looking for the kick from
snuff.

German Flag Dispute

Sentiment naturally attaches many friends
of the. German Republic to the old imperial flag
Of 'black-white- When the Hohenzollerns
were eliminated and the Republic established
ut Weimar, in the heat Of the upheaval pro-
vision was inserted in the constitution that the
national flag should be black, red and gold thus
superseding an emblem beloved by the people
ever since Bismarck accomplished a union of
Germany in 1871.
Anyone who has travelled in Germany knows
that the people love the old emblem and, had
they been consulted in the matter, no change
would have been made. In Berlin, and for that
matter all through Germany, the two flags are
displayed. At public functions, such as the re-
ception Of Mayor Walker, the issue of flags
caused considerable embarrassment. Now the
Reichstag probably will be asked to settle the
controversy and fix forever just what colors
shall survive.
Many Germans, not monarchists but loyal
adherents Of the republic Of Germany, love the
old flag, not because of it's associations with
militarism or the Hohenzollerns, but to them
it stands as an emblem Of German unity; it
Nisualizes the glories Of the fatherland as well
Is the disaster Of the world war.
Radicals, however, favor the new emblem as
= rebuke to the old order Of things. Just how
the Reichstag is to cope with the situation is
not clear.

COMMERCIAL PACT
 BEING DRAWN UP
American Expert Is Aiding at
 Geneva

Geneva. May CP-An American juridical expert. Benjamin Howe Conner. who is president of the American Chamber of Commerce of Paris. has taken a leading role in the drawing up at Geneva, under the auspices of the League of Na- tions, of a draft convention to facili- tate comm mercial arbitration.
 The treaty provides that trials of commercial cases may be held be- fore arbitrators in the country chosen by the parties. where wit nesses. documents and information necessary for the proper presenta- tion of the case are available. In cases where the person against whom the sentence or charge Is pro- nounced resides in another country. or has his property in another coun- try. the sentence can be executed there without the necessity for a second trial in that country.
 It was due to the delay in the de- cision of commercial awards and to the attendant expense that the at tention to the use of arbitration in commercial matters and 1t is be- lieved that adoption of the treaty would be of great value in facilitat- ing the solution of commercial dis putes.
 A protocol touching. this question was prepared in 1923. and has been ratified by thirteen nations. How ever, 1t deals only with the submis- sion to arbitration of disputes. and not with arbitral sentences or awards. The draft convention now

 Last year. although the coming of the combine was recognized by the Kansas College of Agriculture, calls for hired help were sent out which provided several thousand more men than were needed. As an after math. the agriculture department made a survey in the state and found that nearly 5000 combines were used in the harvest in 1926.
 Since that time, a survey indi- cates. at least half that number will be added before the harvesting season this year. Factories are rush. ing their output on reports from salesmen that combine sales this spring will be greater than ever be- fore. Six carloads Of combines were unloaded in one day recently at Salina, Kansas, in the wheat belt.
