eral Discussion.

Washington retail merchants today
are rejoicing over the refusal of the
United States Supreme Court TO inter
fere In the trading stamp cases carried
W from the Court of Appeals.
They declare that the trading stamp

nov dead issues in Washington. and
that merchants who still use them 10
at ract trade must stop.
Joseph Strasburger. president Of the
Retail Merchants Association, said to-
day: zone OF the worst trade abuses
has been made Illegal. To fight it and
to get 1t out of the District was one o.
the reasons for the organization Of the
Retail Merchants Association. Many
merchants were delighted whou the as
ISOLATION was formed. simply because Il
promised a way 70 get rid Of the trad
ing stamp nuisance. I am glad TO see
that the evil which we believed should
be abolished. has been defeated by the
highest court
Leon Tobriner. the attorney repre-
senting the merchants. says the decision
means that trading stamps, economy
vouchers, and like trade schemes must
be discontinued. and merchants still
continuing their use will be arrested.
T. c. Duun, treasurer o. the Retail
Merchants Association. expressed his
satisfaction, and said II was a good
thing for merchants and citizens He
pointed out that the trading s~amp was
simply a lure to the customer.
The decision puts retailers on an equal

consumer TO choose his pace for pur-
chaSes.

I take the responsibility personally

In summing I'D the case and instruct

The whole point in the case amounts
to this. Did Ethel Leneve know that

convict any one on suspicion. but upon
facts" concluded the court, and the

new PENSION
RULING ISSUE
RURAL ROUTE MAIL CARRIERS
EMPOWERED TO ADMINISTER
OATH TO PENSIONERS.

A new departure from an ole
established custom is found in the
latest ruling of the postoftice depart
ment governing pensions. BY this rul
ing duty that has heretofore de-
pended upon the county clerk for per.
Torrance, is nov made part of the
functions of the rural free delivery
mail carriers.
BY the terms of the order of the
postmaster general, the farmer who
happens to be pensioner, will be
saved a trip to town in order to have
his or her pension voucher executed.
All that will be necessary is to call
the rural carrier into commission at
the proper time and he can do what
it has been necessary to have the
clerk Of the district court attend to
in the past. This ruling, while it does
not take away the duty from the clerk,
it nevertheless lessons his work in
pesion matters considerably. The
new ruling reads in part as follows:
thereafter in addition to the Ulcers
now authorized to administer oaths in
such cases rural free delivery car
riers Of the United States are hereby
required, empowered and authorized to
administer any and all oaths required
to be made by pensioners and their
witnesses in execution Of their
vouchers, with the same effect rs
officers having seals. and they shcll
charge for such a sum not exceeding
% cents for each voucher of the
pensioner."

UNIQUE MACHINE
FOR POSToFF|CE
NEW DEVICE WILL CANCEL
STAMPS, PosTMARk AND
COUNT PIECES OF MAIL.

The Ottumwa postoffice is expecting
new stamp cancelling and post mark
ing machine that is quite an interest
ing piece of mechanism. The machine
is known as the Time Marking Ma
chine and is the fruit of the inven-
tive genius of B. F. Cummins, q
brother of Senator A. B. Clmmins.
The capacity Of the machine is much
greater than the present one in use
here for the cancellation of stamps
and post marking of letters, cards,
etc., and combines many essentials Of
postoffice work in one machine. It
post marks letters, cancels stamps,
counts the pieces and changes the
time of each post mark every minute.
and this is all done at one operation
without stop being made. Post
master Frank A. Nimocks witnessed
the work of the machine in the post
Office at Chicago. and being in need OF
better facilities in the local Office,
made application to the department
with the result that one of these ma
chimes is being sent to Ottumwa.
