A WAVE OF PROTEST

BUSINESS men, manufacturers, proper.
. owners of every class and kind are JOIN
ING in the wave of protest against lncreas-
mo government expenditures and mounting
taxes.
Marshall Field q Company, the largest
department store III the world. we believe,
has issued d circular to their wholesale Gus
toners III which they point that while. last
wear. federal, state and local taxes took al
most % cents out of every dollar OF private
income. the proportion will be higher TINS

Expenses have not been reduced; they
have been increased According to the
Field tabulation since 1927 our federal costs
have increased 63 percent, from Sl,9o4,OOO,-
900 to S., 1915, 100000 year.
This is all wrong It is time to call q

We think that nine-tenths Of govern

STANDARDIZATION AND ADVERTIS-
ING CUT COSTS.

rHEARD a speaker the other day criticize
/ advertising for standardizing our lives
and then launch into Il long and eloquent APP
peal for special kind of patriotism that he
considered essential.
As heard him, | felt that he was
wrong on both issues. Not wholly wrong,
perhaps. but wrong for the most part. 1t
strikes me that there are two kinds OF stan
dardization, physical and mental You
can't separate them completely, because
each affects the other, but somewhat OF Il
line can be drawn.
Physical Standardization, up to certain
point is Il good thing. We are living III
machine age. 1t offers us comforts and
llxulies such as have never been possible
before But it offers lis these only through
the adoption OF mass production. which
means Standardization. and through adyer-
Using which is the most potent means Tor
distributing the standardized PRODUCTS
| Thus we Get sound. reliable products at Il
price that we can pay standardization GEL

| IS the way carriages were built at one
time. It is the way all articles used to be
produced. except the considerable list OF
things. from soap to trousers. that were
made i'll the individual home.
| admit that something has been lost
in the shift to standardized products. The
old idea Of craftsmanship IS not prevalent
ANY more and it Was-and is-a fine ideal.
Even SO. however, it has not disappeared al
together Some time ago | saw an exhlbl-
ton of modern French furniture which was
strictly craft work. 1t was as beautiful, to
my eyes, as any furniture that | have ever
seen. Yet it would have cost approximate
/ " four thousand dollars to furnish one
moderate-sized room with it. Craft work
can still be obtained, but the price is pro-
hibitive to most of us. As a matter OF fact,
it always was. The average persons home
today IS much better furnished than the
average home was at any previous time IN
history. The fine furniture the fine food

ing have brought something of fineness into

WE WILL HEAR SOME SILVER TALK

wv ASHINGTON will have plenty OF UNI
w official observers at the British En-
pire conference at Ottawa. Many questions
which may directly affect the United States
are to be discussed among the delegates
from the various members OF the British
Commonwealth Of Nations. Among them
will be the monetary position OF silver
which Canada wants restored to It's pre-
war status. Canada produces about quar-
ter of the world s silver India consumes
about half of all silver. India has been try
ing to maintain the gold standard, and that
has forced the price of silver down unit

enough has already been disclosed to

house has an appropriation for COM
mittee clerk, and that appointment is
at the disposal Of the chairman OF the
committee. Besides those functionairIes,
there are literally hundreds OF other
EMPLOYEES in and around the capitol
and the senate and house office build
inqs-something more than 5000 in all.
Many members appoint their wives
! or their sons as secretaries, put

pages. clerks and the like. The record
is not yet complete, but enough has
been discovered to indicate that there
are comparatively few members Q

Lee Nuffer, in the Ell Centro police

him he would have to ask the cap

it was not yet time to serve food.
He probably would have been

the unconfining wilderness of his
happy hunting ground
Julius Franckiewicz, Barnes road
animal trainer, gave the bear to
the park after Bruin failed to re-
spond TO his curb. The animal
was placed in a big rocky pit with
scores OF his fellows. But Bruin
didn't like it. He clambered up the
wire netting surrounding the en-
closure and browsed about in the
park. Several times he was re-
captured and reconfined. The bear
apparently believed it a game. He
escaped more often.
Finally, the patience Of park and
zoo officials fled. After a council
of war, they decided he must die.

YOUNG BROTHERS
ESTABLISH OWN
INK BUSINESS
BY PAUL Comfy FRENCH
United Press Staff Correspondent

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Sept IT.
UP)-One of the country's young
est manufacturers is 11-year-old
William Smelling, who is engaged
in making ink.
While William is the mead of the
firm, he is assisted by his younger
brother, Robert, 9.
With all the seriousness of his
IL years, William explained that
the firm has no statesmen because
he feels he is better able to repre-
sent their products than any en-
ployee could do.
Their business, located in the
basement of their Allentown home,
started through the curiosity of
the youngsters. Their father, DR.. O.
Smelling, formerly was in charge of
explosive experiments for the
United States government. FIRE.
quently the boys watched him at
work. They asked if they couldn't
experiment, so he allowed them to
use harmless chemicals.
Praises School
1t was while they were expert
menting" that they discovered a
beautiful blue color. It proved to
be the basis for their ink business.
School," said William, "is simply
wonderful. For if I hadn't gone to
school 1 would never have learned
percentages. And without percent
ages I could never have figured
costs and discounts"
The head of the firm explained
that Robert, who has not as yet
studied percentages IN school, made
sale one day for 25 cents under
the correct price.
That incident alone proves the
value of an education" he con-
cluded triumphantly.
William outlined his "sales
talk"
When I get in a hotel in New
York" he said, II ask for the pur-
chasing agent. 1 give him my reg
ular line. then tell him he has
nice hotel.
"As long as the hotel is SO nice,
and our ink is SO nice, the Two
would go together"

WARD TO SPEND
MILLIONS WITH
COAST .J0BBERS

Over $40, 500, 900 will be poured in
to the commodity and manufactur-
ers' market during the last four
months of the year by Montgomery
Ward e. Company's Pacific coast
units. Of this amount over $780,
600 will be spent with Pacific coast
factories and in western markets.
This was the announcement of
Beatty Stevens, regional manager
Of the company for the coast, in
explaining his firms purchasing
program for the last part of 1882,
to w. A Gibbons, local manager.
Already orders have been placed
for merchandise for delivery this
and during the succeeding three
months of the year, according to
Stevens. The total amount of the
program is approximately 25 per
cent greater than for the same per-
iod of year ago.
Montgomery Ward 81 Company
is convinced that we have seen
the bottom of the commodity mar
kets," said Stevens today. I'VE
are acting on our conviction and
have placed and will place nearly
IL millions in orders for merchan--
disc to be used in our mail order
houses and local stores"
I'VE are especially pleased to be
able to announce that over $780,
600 Of this amount will be placed
with Pacific coast manufacturers
and craftsmen. 1t should mean
increased momentum for the indus
tries of this region and, consequent
ly, toward bettering the purchas-
ing power of every individual.
Careful surveys of the commod-
ity price situation have convinced
Montgomery Ward g. Company that
the bottom has come and gone.
There has never been a time when
has been so cheap. 1t
can not remain so with primary
markets rising day by day. The
move on the part of this firm is
not of sudden determination but
the result of months of work and
planning. We propose to secure our
full complement Of merchandise
because we believe that the de-
mands will increase materially dur
ing the fall and winter.

And they said, Seven. And He

seven loaves, and gave thanks, and

set before them; and they did set
them before the people. And they
