FIRST TROUBLE IN ICE MEN'S STRIKE Some of the teamsters for the ice companies in their strike f?r higher wages have created disturbance at East Chicago by interfering with boys who go to th Consumers' company plant for ice, it was reported today. It is said that they have turned over the boys' express wagons and dumped out chunks of ice. This was done, however, without the knowledge or consent of the officials of the teamsters' union. As soon as J. H. Locke, the business agent for the teamsters, heard of the action, he gave the men strict orders to conduct themselves peaceably. Before he could take action, however, police were sent to disperse the teamsters who had rTaered near the ice plant. At the Hammond Pure Ice company's plant a similar, although not so serious, disturbance was reported. MRS. PRESTON SWINGS OVER TO OTHER SIOE Mrs. W. F. Preston, woman delegate from the ninth ward who shot off the fireworks at the citiiens' party convention Thursday night, will support Mayor Smalley's candidacy. Anri so- will Mr. Preston, she says. Mrs. Preston says the convention had Klotz on the brain. 'T thought," she stated today, "that politics were to be ignored and instead it was democrats. There were a hundred and five republican delegates and five democratic delegates. I understand. Nine republicans were placed on the ticket and one democrat. The question I asked of the convention was. 'Are there no democrats in Hammond?' " SMITH FORM-A-TRUCK v. SUCCESS In the exhibits of the Smith Moor Truck Corporation at the recent Used Car Show in Chicago .visitors were able to see in actual forms that which A. D. Smith visualized in his mind five years ago in a small' shop in Seattle. He commenced his activities with the aid of a few tools and a second-hand Ford. The result was a crude appearing chassis which proved its ability to carry a ton load, which satisfied Mr. Smith that he had opened a wide field. The standardized attachment which was shown at the exhibit is sufficient proof of the practicability Sf Mr. Smith's, conception, and marks the tremendous strides made in the perfecting of tha attachment since its inauspicious beginning. From its start in the small one-room building in Seattle, the industry has grown to such an extent that a mammoth plant at Clearing, 111., has been constructed. Thousands are employed there and already there have been several additions in order to keep pace with the unprecedented growth of the Smith Motor Truck Corporation. From one desk in the front of the Seattle establishment, the clerical phase of the business has developed to such an extent that a six-story building is now necessary to accommodate it. The new home of the rapidly growing concern is on Michigan avenue and Sixteenth street, in the six story building formerly occupied by the Goodyear people.

WE DESTROY THEM!

Uader the caption, "Keep Business Going for Our Country'a Sake," John "Wanamaker, New York, has struck a strong blow at the 'Til-advised economy" bo strongly condemned In the statement by Howard E. Coffin of tie Advisory .committee of the National Defense council. At this time, when the conntry hesitates and the public does not know what to expect, every retail advertiser could do a national service and reap direct benefits himself by using part of his adrertlslng space for positive arguments on the prosperity which Is bound to result from American participation In the war. It should be pointed out In such advertising that buslnMs roust ro on. Just as Wanamnkers has pointed it out. but all arguments should be positive and not dwell too much on the question of economy, or the rery effect soughfto be prevented may result. The Wanamaker article follows in full: "Keep business going for our country's sake"Our. country prosperous can pay our, war costs, as ther come, and have enough left over to aid our allies. "Our country unprosperous. with business halting, money hoarded, through fear or false economy, wl!l be hard pressed to keep food on the table and clothing on the back. "Keep business going Is a 'patriotic slogan. Keep money In circulation Keep employment for everybody. Keep wages good. Keep on making money that we may have money to spend for war sacrifices. "The worst thing that could happen to. the world these days would be a business depression In our United States "War in Itself does not cause business depression. "The billions of dollars of money to be expended In war preparations will be put Into circulation In our own country, artd this in Itself will create new wealth for usa in the world-struggle for humanity. 'The one thing that, might halt business now is an unpatriotic psychological feeling panic and a false Idea of patriotic economy. "Patriotic economy means the elimination of waste and extravagance It means the conservation of our food products, our natural wealth, our health, our energies, our labor, opr .very lives- It means putting more efficiency. In everything we do so that each unit of money, energy and intelligence may accomplish the utmost. "Patriotic economy does not. mean the lowering of America's standard of living, which would make ns less efficient physically and mentally, nationally and individually, and would kill the spirit and the will to do. the trulr self-sacrificing things to be done. '"Cities and communities must go on with their civic Improvements.

fRoad building and public works must

equipment. Factories must be kept going to their full capacity. Labor must be employed- Homes must be kept up. Merchandise must be produced, distributed and used. "War duties and war expenditures must be in addition to peace duties and peace expenditures. The more we do the more we can do. The more money we spend tb more we will have In our pockets to Tspend. Money creates money. "In a word: The natural sane life of the country must proceed as though we were not at war. in order that we may have the necessary prosperity o promote the war to a quick and successful conclusion. "President Wilson sounfls the keynote in this sentence: 'It is evident to every thinking man that our industries, on the farm, in the shipyards, in, the mines, in the factories, must be made more prolific and more efficient "Our lndnstries can be made more prolific only if the people buv and use the merchandise produced by our industries. Manufacturing slackens when business slackens. Manufacturing grows In a prolific way when business grows. 'And business can grow and remain healthful on'.y when the people buy and. keep money in circulation. "Business is going in the East, the West, the North, the South- The country is prosperous. Last month's Increase in business was very large. Banks may wait in their operations until the government bonds are assimilated. People may pause temporarily in their outfitting to arrange to meet the new conditions. But th" unloosing of bullions of dollars will unloose a Cow of prosperity abso. ...ely necessary to sustain the world's burden. "Governments set the pace in "their expenditures. "Individuals must irot lg behind. Seven billions of dollars to pay is only $70 per capita in the United States- Yet seven billions of dollars, put into work at 6 per cent a fair estimate of the producing power of nioney will create 420 millions of new wealth. "The income tax we jay will hot be a tax on prosperity, but a spur to prosperity. Every dollar the individual pays out will come back to him with Interest in the general prosperity of the people. "Keep business going for our country's sake. War cannot be waged and won without the sinews of .war."
