TEXAS UTILITIES HEAD SAYS
MISSOURI CORPORATIONS
MADE AN EXPERIMENT
1. R. Kelao, director of the Com-
munity PtCer & Light Co., president
of Cjtfrs 'Utilities Co., who attended
the meeting* of the Missouri Associa-
tion of Public Utilities, in an inter-
Ww said:
“The public utilities of Missouri,
representing an aggregate investment
of $20,983,242, after having expori-
1 merited for years with every form of
advertising, have found that the best
advertising medium is the local news-
paper.
“The fact is not subject to chal-
lenge. The reasons are clear. The
daily or weekly newspaper is the
greatest constructive force in any
community. It is the foremost cham-
pion of our schools, our churches,
our homes and sound community de-
velopment. To justify its continued
existence, it must be so conducted as
to command the universal respect of
the community which it serves. Its
pronouncements must be accepted as
accurate and trustworthy by friend
and foe, or it cannot fulfill its mis-
sion. Its advertising copy must be
censored with the same watchful care
that keeps its news columns free
from error and misrepresentation.
“These vital essentials to newspa-
per operation stamp it as an adver-
tising medium without a rival, and
we take pleasure in making this
public acknowledgement of that fact.”

CHINA WITH 4 TIMES AS
MANY PEOPLE AS UNITED
STATES PRODUCES LESS
I China has four times as many peo-
ple as the United States, but the
United States hus the equivalent of
ten times the number of effective
workers found in China.
In an article in the Atlantic Month-
ly, Thomas T. Read lays down the
principle that the only way to have
material things is to work. Then he
subjects this principle to further
subdivision as follows:
First, work must be done to avoid
repetition, as piping water from the
spring instead of continuously carry-
ing it.
Second, work must be analyzed to
do away with false motion.
third and last conclusion is
• that the worker must be multiplied |
by machinery.
The comparative output of work;
per person in various countries varies
as follows:
China, 1; India, 1 1-4; Russia,
1-2; France, 8 1-4; Germany 12;,
Groat Britian, 18; Canada, 20; United
States 30.
Although the average wage is
high in America, the average cost
of work is low. It takes the European
workman 10 times as long to make’
an automobile as it takes the work-
man in Our Country, beenuse of the
highly efficient machinery and vast
quantity of power which are the in-
visible slaves of our workmen. And
these slaves do not consume human
food.

CANADIAN MAY GET GAS
FROM EMPIRE'S PIPE-LINE
The city of Canadian may be able
to work out a contract with the
Empire Company whereby the city
will be served with natural gas. The
Empire Company's line passes within
7 miles of Canadian. It is estimated
the city could be hooked on for ap-
proximately $4u.00u. Organisation of
a local stock company to finance the
deal has been proposed.

WOMEN’S FEET
GETTING LARGE
Comfort Beyond Vanity May Explain
Why Cinderellas of 192f Wear
Larger Size Than Before
Got a Flat'.' Phono 161. We call
for and deliver. 48-tfc.
That American women are rapidly
'making greater strides in the world
is true in a very literal sense, which
probably is not entirely welcome to
the fair sex. Deny the fact as they
will, women’s feet are gradually
growing bigger, and in they last fif-
teen years or so, says the research
burenu of a large hosiery manufac-
turer, sizes of stockings most in de-
mand have increased from eights, to
fit the number four shoe, to nines
and a half to go with the five and
a half shoe, which is what the
average American woman now has
to wear.
But the beautiful Cinderellas of
1912 are now the ugly sisters of
1927, because this increased foot-size
is hardly noticeable in view of their
greater fastidiousness in matters of
shoes and stockings. Foreigners vis-
iting this country always concede
that the American woman is the
best groomed as to feet and ankles
of any nationality in the world.
Comfort before vanity is probably
one explanation of this growth, as
well as the fact that the modern
woman takes more exercise and goes
in more for sports than formerly and
has to pay the penalty by wearing
larger shoes.
While women's feet have been
growing bigger, however, the average
man’s shoes has decreased a corres-
ponding amount, from nines and a
half to eights. No plausible explana-
tion for this has been found, and it
must just be put down to lack of
masculine consideration for woman’s
feelings. •

^The Worlds
Lowest Priced Cars with Supremely
Beautiful FISHER BODIES !
Chevrolet is the only c«r in
its pricedass offering bodies
by Fisher—built as only
Fisher can build, and styled
as low-priced cars were
never styled before!
Bodies by Fisher are every,
where acknowledged to
represent the highest order
of beauty, luxury, and safety
—and never was the supe-
riority of Fisher craftsman-
ship more evident than in the
Most Beautiful Chevrolet.
Despite the lowness of Chev-
rolet prices, there is not the
slightest compromise in de-
sign, construction or finish.
All era bod v exactly the prin-
ciples employed on the nigh
sst priced can—a compoato
construction of selected
hardwood and steel. All are
finished in beautiful colon
of lustrous, lasting Duco.
Enhancing the beauty of
the bodies themselves are
numerous features of dis-
tinction previously con-
sidered exclusive to the cost-
liest cars—features typified
by heavy full-crown, one-
piece fendenand bullet-type
hcadlampe.
Only the economies of Chev-
rolet’s great volume pro-
duction make possible such
quality at Chevrolet prices
—value so outstanding that
comparisons cease to exist.
Ask for a demonstration!
