HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL? 50 -. -. 80

If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques-
tons may spell success or fail
ure to many a merchant.
From an intimate association
with a wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries of life, we venture to say:
"The quickest and surest way
to reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has high
standing in the community it
serves, and has the confidence
OF us T6duGTS.
"The most dependable articles
sold today are those to which
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label--that is to
say, his reputation.
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu-
facturer, and the public Is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
THE combination Of manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum of satisfac
ton to the purchaser"

The action of seven members in

Further they faced the danger of

BIG SEWER THE GATE
TO A GAMBLING Den

Pittsburg. Pa, July 1S.-A well
equipped gambling den beneath the
street the main entrance to which was
big city sewer was raided by the
police late last night. twenty-five men
were captured as well as a large
amount of money and gambling para
phernalia.
When the police swooped down on
the players CONSERVATION reigned, but
as there was only one manner of egress
or exit the entire crowd was captur
ed easily.
Lieut. Barry, with squad of polio q
men in plain clothes, was looking for
small game which flourish in the hill
district last night When they passed
the manhole at ogan ano Pasture

disappear.
Quietly lifting the manhole cover
the police, with the aid of several Ian,
terms, dropped down into the sewer,
and after proceeding through it about
seventy-five feet they came to an OPP
ening which led into a large subtle =
ranean room where the players were
busy wagering their money.
After the gang had been rounded up
it was found that the entrance used to
reach the underground room was a |

Independents File "Digest."

F. H. Lee, who represented the in
dependents, has filed with the depart
ment digest of the publication and
an argument in favor of the legality
of the proposed law This is under
consideration and the attorney general
is expected to give his opinion to the
senate committee on judiciary. Some
intricate legal questions, officials of
the department of justice point our,
are involved in the measure.
The government under the present
statute had sixty days in which to
appeal to the supreme court from the
New York federal court decree dis
solving the tobacco trust, but former
Attorney General Wickersham, ac-
cepted the decree and did not appeal.
1T has been suggested that since the
government did not avail itself of the
right to appeal within the time limit,
the tobacco interests were entitled c
regard the decree as a final determine
ton of the issues.
However, the attorney general, who
,,orronaa +bo dooroo &c n "mara cuhter-
fuge" is giving the Cummins bill con-
sideration as a possible way to cure
alleged non-competitive evils.
In the Standard Oil case, the attor-
ney general is continuing his study
of the report of Chas. B. Morrison and
oliver E. Hagan, government attorneys
who investigated whether the disso-
luton decree is being violated.
Claim to Be Obeying Order.
The oil interests contend they are
complying with the decree. While the
governments bill in the oil case and
the supreme courts decision were
sweeping in character, the attorney
general before taking any further &C
ton in the courts, must decide whether
the decree properly interpreted the
supreme courts lewiston, which was
designed to compel competition. I'm
fair competition methods are said IL
have been eliminated, and the question
is. are the disintegrated companies
competing or are they fixing the hign
price of oil.
| While the supreme court decided all
those cases the decree in neither case
reached the highest tribunal. Attor-
ney General ,McReynolds' principal
complaint against the decree revolves
about the pro rata distribution of stock
among the same stockholders who
controlled the original combinations.
He pointed out today that the SUI
preme court in the Union Pacific anti
trust case decided that such disso>
luton was not real dissolution of a
trust under the Sherman law.
