| There is no species OF fraud more
reprehensible than the substitution
process which is in vogue in many
places of business. For example, a
customer enters and calls for specific
article. The merchant by one process
or another Immediately undertakes to
sell you an inferior article because the
latter will render larger margin of
profit. If the merchant succeeds in
negotiating chat kind CT sale the Gus
toner has permitted himself to be con-
victed before the bar of common sense
as an all-the-year-around nnmitigatec
chump.
On recommendation of the custodian
the treasury department has made an as
signment of the civil service and wit
ness rooms in the federal building fol
use of the postal clerks that run into
Pierre as a writing room. Privilege
has also been granted to allow two cot,
to be placed in the carriers swing room
4 This will make it far better for the fiv,
I clerks now running into Pierre, anl
will make Pierre more popular with th.
clerks. This is a rumor that the dis.
trict west of Tracy will soon be trans.
ferred to the sixth division. If SO
Pierre will then be in the st. Louis ter.
ritory instead of st. Paul.
