LIQUOR INTERESTS LOOK TO COX. Gov. Cox has punilicly declared that he has never received any support from the liquor Interests of Ohio or the United States, but this repudiation does not prevent the advocates of liquor from rallying tc the cause of the democratic candidate. The Federation of Liquor Interests of New Jersey has issued a circular to its members and friends of the cause that is tabooed by the eighteenth amendment. The circular indicates that the liquor interests are cot in any doubt as to the person in whom they can place hope. "The nomination of Gov. Cox for the presidency by the democrats Is a big victory for our interests," the circular says, "and can.be attributed to a great degree to the activity of our trade organizations throughout the nation." So only does the liquor organ claim the credit for the nomination of Gov. Cox, but it recognizes the cbligation of giving him the fullest possible support at the polls. It is realized that the only way it can be rewarded for securing the nomination of Cox is to elect him presided. "The organized liquor trade of New- Jersey has set out to do its part toward the election of James M. Cox as the next president of the United States," the circular concludes. The country has not foi gotten that when Gov. Cox, prior to his nomination, made a trip east, he made the -statement that the Volstead law should be liberalized to permit the manufacture of beer and light wines. The liquor interests are supporting Cox in good faith.
prices that they are constantly changing jobs with the Lope of getting more money. But every time a man takes hold of a new jcb, and a green hand fills the vacancy, two nun have ro learn their work over again, and production is slowed up. Government experts eay that lauor turnover, this constant shifting of people from one jcb to another, costs the manufacturers of the country $1,230,000 a ycar. Frank Vandcrlip, the noted financier, estimates the cost of preventable labor turnover at from $2,500.000.000 to $3,000,000,000 annually. This is a part ot the ccst of production that is paid for by the public. If it were possible to get forces of experienced people working in the same indnstries and shops year after year, the cost of living would be greatly reduced. Rut the only way to make wage-earners satisfied to do that in to give them such superior skill and efficiency that they have nc motive for making a change. Proiiuction and efficiency experts are employed in most bis plants. The- study costs of all products, and 'figure out the easiest and quickest way if performing every process. The small business can profit by the application of similar methods. It is true that wage earners frequently oppose these efficiency systems cn the ground that they drive the operatives; the experts too frequently ignore the psychology of the worker. Still, if a harmonious agreement can be reached by which all interests shal cooperate to adopt the most efficient methods, it will reduce costs, advance wages, increase dividends, and benefit everybody.
The -Passing - Show
THE UNIVERSAL STRIKE. Well, let's all strike. Why not? It will settle the question sooner. Let the banker, the lawyer, the merchant, the preacher, the farmer, the officials, the editors
and reporters, the teachers, the doctors all go on the' strike. What is the sense of nagging the strike microbe ! forever? If everybody would unite and jump cn him ! with both feet that would be the last of him. There
is bo one intent has any more right to strike than another. It is everybody's right. If all the reporters would strike what a happy time we would have! Then everybody wculd go to reading their Bibles and other pood books. And if the teachers would strike and the parents attend more to Johnny'3 education thernrelve, where would the final loss come in? And if the preacher should stop work, hew the autos would enjoy the beautiful nature and the unruffled golf. Come to think of it, the universal strike is the very .thing. As for food, we could court the finny tribe and live with the conies and the squirrels.
THE F0PULATION OF THE CALUMET REGION. The Calumet Record for twenty-three years has predicted that this section was destined to be the greatest manufacturing center in the wcrld. We believe that this proud position has now been attained and we challenge any other district ia America or elsewhere to dispute this assertion. For several years this paper has detailed the industrial growth of the Calumet region from week to week. This message of development has been cariied to all parts cf this country, Europe and South America. It is now generally known that there are upwards of 450 thriving factories here and that the growth averages more than one new plant every week. But this is an old story to our readers now. We would call attention at this time to the present populaticn of the Calumet region that rivals Milwaukee, Washington, Newark and Cincinnati, the latter having 401.247 population according to the latest census figures. The Sth and C'th wards of Chicago plus Blue Island, Riverdale. Dolton, Harvey. West Hammond, etc.. have a population approximating 250. 00. Hammcnd, Whiting, East Chicago and Gary have a combined enumeration of almost exactly 130,000. Geographically and from the standpoint of transportation facilities by rail, lake and river, by community of iuterests and vocation, these various parts of the great Calumet district form cne distinct well known, generally recognized factory center. Rivalling in population many of America's leading cities, the Calumet region surpasses them all in industrial importance. The greatest steel mills, oil works, car plant, paint factory and coke ovens are located here. Nowhere e-se on earth are such transportation facilities, labor market, living conditions, central location, and convenient lay cf the land capable ia addition of almost indenfinite expansion. There are miles and miles of dockage yet untouched. Thousands of acres of land are available for factories, homes and stores. However, we are just starting. The first big plants came in 1SS0 at Pullman and South Chicago, but most of the growth has been in the last ten, certainly the last fifteen years since Gary was founded. For a long time the district lacked men. Now it needs houses. If all the employes cf the district lived here with their families the Calumet region would rival in population all but the cities that aspire to a million and it will not be long before that happens Calumet Record.

THAT Marola is a better and more economical frying fat than lard has again been demonstrated. This time by Mrs. A. Louise Andrea, admittedly one of the greatest experts in modern cookery. aMrs. Andrea found that 4 lbs, of Mazola. cooked down to 2 lbs., fried 24H lbs, of potatoes. While 4 lbs, of lard cooked down to 2 lbs, fried only 7 lbs. 14 oz. potatoes. Tested on fish steaks, on Inch Ln thickness, Mazola fried 254
lbs., while lard fried only 16H lbs, of fish.Of doughnuts cut uniformly 2?4 inches in diameter, Mazola fried 208, while lard fried only H, 138. This proves conclusively that Mazola goes more than three times as far as lard for frying potatoes; almost twice as fax for fish; and two-thirds farther than lard in frying doughnuts. No housewife who wants to use the most wholesome, as well es the most economical cooking and salad oil, should fail to order Mazola from her grocer today.
