APPEAL MADE FOR MORE ROOMS Prony* Response Necessary, Says G. 0. P. Committee. An urgent appeal to tbe residents of Indianapolis to open their homes for the thousands of visitors who will come here during the week of Sept. 10 to 25 for the annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, was again issued today by the eexcutive committee in charge. Thousands of persons, the committee pointed out, may be without sleeping quarters for the encampment unless a sufficieat number of rooms are obtained in private homes. While the encampment will cover an entire week, most of the visitors will remain only three or four days, it is believed. “To date, accommodations have been obtained to house approximately 6,000 visitors in private homes,” Edward A. Kahn, chairman of the executive committee, said. “About eight, times that number of rooms must be obtained, according to the official figures obtained by the executive committee from persons who were in charge of the encampment in 1919 in Columbus, O* FREE ACCOMMODATIONS ARE NOT ASKED. “We are not asking the people of Indianapolis to give these rooms free of charge, although, of course, this is up to the individual,” William J. Mooney, a member of the executive committee, said. “We are asking, however, that where a charge is made the price be reasonable. "All of the visitors who will come here will not be veterans of the Civil war, although a large percentage will be,” Mr. Mooney continued. “Many will be women who are members of the organizations affiliated with the Grand Army. “Many will be the wives and daughters of veterans. “I feel sure that the people of Indianapolis will fully appreciate the seriousness of the situation. “No one wants these people to be compelled to walk the streets at night during the encampment for want of a place to sleep. “But that will certainly be the coalition unless the present attitude of the citizens of Indianapolis changes.” The executive committee pointed out that with the encampment only three weeks away, there is barely enough time remaining to card index the rooms listed and prepare to assign them to the visitors. PROMPT RESPONSE WILE AVOID CONFUSION. If an indescribable state of confusion is to be avoided on the opening day of the encampment, the committee said, the required number of rooms must be obtained witihin the next ten days. Efforts to enlist a committee of three women from every church in the cltj to take an active part in the campaign for rooms were being made today by the housing committee, of which Scott R. Brewer is chairman. Every pastor in the city will be asked to name a committee of three to five women at the regular services Sunday All of the committees will meet next Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock at tbe Fir-H Baptist rliureh to perfect an organization for making an aetiee canvass for the rooms. A committee composed of .1. BurdettI.ittle. W. H. Reiuy and Albert .Sturn;> is in charge of arrangements for the meeting. Indianapolis Boy Scouts also will be mobilized next week to complete details for a house-to-house canvass of the city. No efforts will be spared by the honslug committee to obtain the required number of rooms in the shortest possible time. FORMS COLI'MHCS G. O. P. CLIBS. COL!

THE UNIVERSAL CAR 1 -■ J- . "—*• During all the years the Ford Model T One Ton Truck has been on the market, we have never had one complaint of rear axle trouble. We have had no complaints of motor trouble. As tbe motor and the rear axle are the vital fundamer .tals in a motor truck, we have the right to conclude that the Ford One Ton Truck has not only met the demands of business, but has done so in a satisfactory and economic way. There is no other evidence so convincing as that which comes from long practical experience. Ford One Ton Trucks are serving along all industrial and commercial lines. You will find them everywhere. If these statements were not facts, the demand for the Ford One Ton Truck would not be as large as it is, because people are not buying trucks which do not give service. Coupled with the dependability of the Ford One Too Truck in all classes of usage, comes the economy in operation and maintenance. On the farm, in factory delivery, for the merchant, manufacturer, and contractor, in these days of modem business methods, this wormdrive One Ton Ford Truck has become an actual necessity. Leave your orders with any of the Authorised Dealers mentioned below, and you will be assured of prompt attention. Barber-Warnock Cos.

‘DEMAND FOR BEST MAKES HIGH COST’ People Don’t Want the Cheaper Kind, Say Grocers. CHICAGO, Aug. 27.—Idioscyncrasies of Father Dearborn's diet have scrambled principles of economy and put the yeasts In costs which have produced rising prices, grocers here declared today. “It used to be a principle of economy to purchase lower quality goods because of the cheap price, but purchasers now believe it is a money-saving habit to buy the best,” Sol Weaterfield, large dealer here, said. “They have turned the theory ov -and I guess maybe they are right—it makes no difference whether it rots in my hands or the consumers’ but it is certain the public is not looking for bargains. “We have to pay a premium for the best grades, and then there is some waste,” Westerfleid said, explaining that if the poorer grades of food were readily disposed of present maximum prices would be unnecessary. “We buy fruit and vegetables by the crate and a large percentage of it is unfit to sell our customers,” according to George Connors, grocer. • “Each vegetable and piece of fruit must be perfect and therefore our prices have to be some higher to make up tbe loss.” Groccro try to make a profit of 25 to 30 per cent, M. Baker, proprietor of a large grocery, said: “It costs us from 15 to 20 per cent to do business, leaving us only 5 to 10 per cent margin. The public's orgy of “first-class buy !ng” is preventing price tumbles, ail grocers agreed. They absolved the producer of blame, saying he faced the same demand ficy did.
