Tho protective measures that the
Keoku1k Retailers. League proposes to
adopt to avoid the multiplicity OF fake

in the right direction. So frequent
and 30 persistent has become this
kind Of solicitation that the retailers
have been forced to adopt protective

of advertising that the retailers pro-
pose to abolish is practically without

you DO to cut down the editors taxes?
Would you have his rs cents poll

to do with that? Then let's try some
thing else.
Would you come to Harlan and Ia

reduce the electric light tax, or the
water tax, or the city tax? You
Wouldn't That's bad, for the town
part of this tax Is 5000.
Would you, then, care to interview
the school board and ask them to re-
duce the school tax? You wouldn't?
That's bad again, for the school part
of this tax bill is s32.sS.
OF course, John, you would be will
ing to see the board Of supervisors
and ask them to reduce the county
taxes. Being state senator and a
friend Of the people you wouldn't re-
fuse to do them little favor like
that? You couldn't do anything. Too
bad, John. The county's share OF that
tax bili is 1894. And there's only
s5.oS left on which you have chance
left to save the editor something.
These are state taxes, and you surely

A Girls Unique Vacation.

In the June Womans Home Compan-
ion appears page entitled ways and
Means of Taking a Vacation" in which
n dozen or more contributors give their
experiences. Helen n Russell describes.
as follows, the unique vacation she had
last summer:
"For the past four years / had filed
a position with firm in a small city in
Ohio, and as the work had become mo-
notonous ! decided to make change aft
err returning from a visit with friends in
Chicago | spent the two weeks / had
allotted myself for vacation in learning
that city, and then took position as
ing two weeks leave from her firm.
"The result was that when my term
was completed | was requested to remain
in the office at salary which gave me
reason to congratulate myself. How
ever, | did not stay long as my family
was not willing | should continue work
ing so far away from home until / was
older.
"Now / am home again am glad for
everything, -glad | tackled the work /
did, glad ! succeeded in the other stenog-
rapher's place, glad to get home again.
and glad for the experience in a large
city, but mostly and chiefly glad because
my trip cost me nothing ! earned in
two weeks enough to cover my fare and
allow me time to look for another posi-
tion after returning home; enough, also,
to buy a stunning fall suit and hat.
which together with the confidence i
acquired while taking care of myself in
wild, rushing Chicago enabled me to OBJ
tain position in my home town at
far larger salary than / had received be-
fore going out into the world!'
Then, too, where before | had felt
dissatisfied with meeting the same people
day after day in. the smaller city, I
learned to be glad to be able to speak
with friends instead of marching through
crowded streets and rarely meeting a
familiar face. In other words, / learned
to appreciate home.r

DISAGREEMENT ENDS
HEART BALM SUIT
A New Trial Will Be Held in the Mil
lionaire Hoe-Sullivan
Case

New York, June Disagreement in
the S225,000 breach of promise suit of
Miss Mae Sullivan against Millionaire
Arthur I. Hoe yesterday ended a jury
vigil on the sensational case which en-
dured since l245 o'clock Wednesday.
There will be a new trial.
After wranglng until 3 o'clock yester
day morning over the merits OF the story
of betrayal told by Miss Sullivan, the
jury found themselves hopelessly dead
locked. Eight of them, it was said, be-
lieved that Hoe had used his wealth and
position to impress the girl to her ruin,
four believed her an adventures who
guilefully squeezed out of the heir of
the famous printer more than $4,000 he
admitted having spent on her.
One of the jurors admitted, after they
mad been discharged by Justice Gavegan
at 1926 o'clock yesterday, that one time
the Jury stood nine to three for the girl.
The Jurors, he said, had even got down
to figures, and the general feeling was
that $4,000 would not be too much for
Hoe to pay. Final discussion OF the
case, however, brought up the fact that
the charge of Justice Gavegan was heav-
lily against Miss Sullivan, and while
some of the jury resented this, the four
who stood out were so cemented in their
resolve that disagreement was inevitable.
