cities joining soap clubs and paying
dollar each month to a foreign con
Germ just to secure a premium, while
their husbands could supply them at
half the cost all the soap and the pre-
mium too. Yet such is the drawing
power of the something for nothing
argument. If the Creator gave these
women common sense, they little
know how to utilize it,
Some means should be devised to
tax directly or indirectly the concerns
in foreign cities that seek to do busi-
ness directly with consumers through
the mails. At present they are protec
ted by the interstate commerce law.
These concerns make their money by
dealing with the people of some com
munfty. where they pay no taxes di-
rect OF license fees
The merchants of the town are tax
ed upon the business they do. Is this
proposition a fair one? Why not com
pei the foreign mercantile concern to
do the same? Our national laws
should be so constructed as to pro-
vide that there be tax on the
amount of business transacted in a
state by any mercantile concern in
another state, unless the business be
transacted by concerns which pay tax
es within the state for the doing of
sucn business.-D. NJ. CARR, in Min
ing Reporter

On Thursday evening about seven
ty-five Epworth Leaguers, old an6
young, of the First M. E. church, en-
joyed an Experience in Verse" so
cial at the S. H. FairchiId residence
on the corner of Sixth and Lea. Those
who had pledged themselves came
armed with an original poem and a
dollar, the poem telling their exper
ience in earning the dollar.
Arrangements had been MADE to
mold the social on the lawn, but on
account of the chilly weather and
strong wind, it was held in the house
instead. After all had arrived, greet
ings had been exchanged and stran-
gers introduced, President w. J. Arm
strong called them together in the
ious and varied experiences of the
'ttoilers for the church" 1t was GER
tainly interesting and amusing. Ev-
eryOne listened and watched with
closest attention as each name was
called and the person stepped for
ward, read their poem, or recited
their experience, then dropped their
dollar into the plate. The wOmens
methods of earning money were var
ious, by making aprons, candy, mems
shirts, pumpkin pies and cake; by
and by working for their nus
bands, while the men got theirs thru
daily labor, irrigating, helping their
wives, business transactions, and one
man made biscuit strange to say. The
first prize for the best poem was
awarded to Mr.. Fred Lanning, while
Miss King received second.
After this feature of the evening
gagged in. Games were played and all
guests present who were new resi-
dents of Roswell were made to feel
perfectly at nome and that their
presence was welcomed. The young
ladies' of the League then served hot
coffee and doughnuts. At a reasonable
hour the social broke up, each one
feeling it had been an evening well
spent and that they were the better
off for having been there.
The sum of money raised was $40,
which completes the payment the so
ciety had pledged for the building of
the church. A short time previous the
League sent $50 to their native preach
er in India. At a business meeting
Monday night they voted to have the
primary room of the church piped for
gas heating. This Indicates how active
are the members of the League in
their work They expect to hold So
cial each month this winter, each to
be of an interesting nature.

"FOOL THE PEOPLE,"
MOTTO OF THE FAKIRS

you can fool some of the people
part of the time, but you can fool 9TH
ers all the time,'' seems to be the
motto of the get-rich-quick men and
..gold brick operators. Pages of the
daily and weekly press may be filed
with warnings to readers to be on
the lookout for swind1ers, yet many
who are credited with intelligence
will keep right on biting at bats
thrown out to them by various con-
Germs WHO sell "cats in bags"
Psychologists say that every per-
son has a weak spot somewhere in
the BRAIN It seems that this softness
is commonly manifested in false reas-
oning that frequently one can get
something for nothing. Understanding
this desire on the part of the MAORI
ty, the fakirs bait their hooks accord
ingly. There are large concerns which
have built up great enterprises by
representing to the people that with
each bill of goods purchased the buy
er gets something for nothing.
Just think of a graft like this that
will draw 81 800 worth of soap orders
in single month from a town of
10, 900 people But this is just what
has been done within the past few
months Just think OF wives of gro
GERS and dry goods merchants in large

Why Not Also a Park?

Editor Record In yesterdays is
sue, R. c. Nisbet's Talk on Water
moved me to suggest something fur
ther il connection with waterworks.
Why should not the city take the plot
at the mead of Spring river for water
works and park? Put a guard around
the head springs to keep out filth. Put
up a pumping plant and stand pipe.
Would it be more expense to run a
main to the head than drilling a well
on the hill? At the same time We have
the advantage as the city grows of
being able to increase the water ca
pacity.
Why not select this plot for park?
1t is lovely place, and would be int
eresting for visitors to Roswell.

Roswell defeated Lake Arthur fol
the second ti61e in a game at AmuSe
ment Park Thursday afternoon, the
book-keeper's final figures being 8
to 5. 1t was chilly day and as night
be expected in such weather, it was
a numb game. The cold wind that
blew across the diamond to the grand
stand brought clouds of dust that
made it all the more disagreeable for
the spectators and base ball players
never do well on a cold day. From a
strictly base ball standpoint, it was
a much better game than the first
days exhibition, the errors being only
half as numerous, but it was not en-
joyed on account of the disagreeable
weather At the end of the eighth in
ming the umpire called a halt by popu-
lar demand and general agreement
Wilder started the pitching for
Lake Arthur and in the seventh i'm
ing exchanged places with L. Morris
who had been in the right field.
Wynne did the twirling for Roswell.
1t was a day for batting, both teams
making twelve hits. For the credit
of Wynne it should be told that half
of Lake Arthur's hits were decidedly
"scratcny' and with warm weather
many of them would have been taken
in handily.
Lake Arthur made a nice play in
the sixth, when the bases were full.
Nichols flew out to Ware at short,
who threw to B. Morris on first and
made a double by putting out st.
John before he could recover and re-
turn to his base. B. Morris threw to
Metcalf on third and would have made
a triple play had Metcalf not dropped
the ball.
Ware was the star player for Lake
Arthur as he took in five out of six
chances, and did his work nicely
Reeves, McMurray and st. John all
did errorless work in the outfield for
Roswell. Reeves reached up and took
in one-handed a high one that looked
like a two-bagger. No player shorter
tnan Reeves could have reached it.
McMurray caught three high flies and
dropped two more, but saved himself
errors by throwing out runners at
second. st. John caught two nice
ones in left.
Much amusement was caused when
Webster stole second and Reeves
third. at separate times, with the pitch
er holding the ball in his hand.
Most of the Lake Arthur boys went
home last night. some remaining to
visit friends.

in favor of appointing a man to rep
resent the Commercial Club on the
Commission. On motion, President
Kellahin appointed a committee OF
five to present names to the meeting
for consideration This committee
consisted of ]. F. Hinkle, K s. Wood
ruff, R. F. Barnett, A. Pruit and G.
A. Richardson. A short recess was ta-
ken while the committee retired to
deliberate.
When the committee returned with
their report, Judge Richardson an
nounced that the committee desired
to present to the membership the
name of Hon. ]. F. Hinkle as their
choice to represent the Commercial
Club on the water works commission.
Mr.. Hinkle was asked as to his po-
sition as between private and munic-
out the fact that he considered that
private ownership was not to be con-
sidered, the plan being based entirely
on municipal ownership.
1t was then moved and seconded
that the report of the committee be
accepted, and that Mr.. Hinkle be the
choice of the Commercial Club for
the commission. The motion was unan
imously carried.
President Kellahin was requested
to take the necessary steps to bring
the action of the Club to the atten-
ton of the City Council and also to
interest the citizens generally in the
matter so that the Commission could
be filled and get to work as soon as
possible.
