DISHONEST ADVERTISING


How often do we see things offered for sale at
prices which would be impossible if the goods were
equal to the claim made about them. The wise
purchaser shrugs his shoulders and passes by. The
honest merchant says, ooh, WELL after the people
get stung they will come back to me-
Both winking at crooks work
Untrue statement in advertising is in some
states legal crime with penalty prescribed. The
honest business man should be a thieftaker to the
extent of protesting against having the public swim
died.
The public owes it to the of Law and
Order to that criminals are brought to justice.
The manufacturer, the merchant, the con-
sumer all are vitality interested in having printed
statements true, and in being warranted to believe
advertisements.
Boards of Trade Merchants Associations,
Advertising Clubs, should undertake the prosecu-
ton of dishonest advertisers. In many places they
do.
not hurt you, because if he is successful he takes
productive dollars from the purchase of legitimate
commodities, and handicaps business to that extent.
He breeds suspicion Of what honest men print and
dulls the edge of proper trade.
Get after the crook-Make him pay the
penalty of his crme-Put him out of business for
the common good

 Gibl altar never sleeps By day and night two perfectly equipped signal stations. proudly Haunting Britains flag of ownership, sweep the seas around 10 distance of 15 miles on clear day, instantly reporting the com. ing and going of each vessel
 Modern needle" guns, the finest in Europe. are installed on all the most prominent points.

 These galleries are divided into three sections, entry to which is guarded while one Is closed even to high officers, containing preserved stores munitions of war rain water tfor Gibraltar has no springs) and complete condensing plant-all calcu- lated to outlast siege of seven years.

 Why should anyone become fright ehed or bouyed up with hope over the political situation? Haven't We trusted in the same old promises since We can rcnls mber; and when haze the promises been kept? Have Tt We viewed with alarm since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary; and has any catastrophe resulted So long as the farmer and mechanic toll the human family will continue to eke out an existence in spite of Doolittles and Demagogues l. IS all right for Taft, Teddy and Wilson to view with alarm, for there IS the one job and three applicants; hut why any other man should take their hopes or fears seriously pass eth my understanding Both Re- publicans and Dmeocrats have had ample opportunity to make good and have signally failed Under the one 3nr nation has been governed by the trusts and protected theives. under the other the South has been kept a back number among the civilized nations By their fruits shall ye know them" If those parties are honest every promise they have made they can keep for they have the legislative machinery in theiir the legislative machinery in their promises why should they make any more?

PROSPERITY OF THE NAVAJOS
They Have Ample Pasturaee and Make Money by Their Silver
 Work.

The Navajos are today by long adds lea. Their vast reserve offers ample pastureage for their sheep and ponies, and though their focks are a scrub lot, yielding little more than fifty to seventy cents a head in wool on the average. still it costs nothing to keep sheep and goats Both furnish a sup ply of meat. The hides fetch ready money. So do the wool and the blankets. And the Navajos are the finest silversmiths in America For merly, they obtained their supply of raw bullion from the Spaniards, but today they melt and hammer down United States currency into butterfly brooches and snake bracelets and leather belts with the 50-cent coins changed into flower blossoms with a turquoise center. Ten-cent pieces and quarters are transformed into neck laces of silver beads or buttons for shirt and moccasins. If you buy these things in the big western cities they are as costly as Chinese or Hindu silver, but on the reserve there is a very simple way of computing the value. First take the value of the coin from which the silver ornament Is made. Add dollar for the silver smith labor, and also add whatever the value of the turquoise happens to be and you have the price for which true Navajo silverwork can be bought out on the reserve.-Travel Magazine
