We Are Indebted to the
Stock Exchange for a
Glimpse of Blue Sky

Several years ago the forces of reform
modified in Michigan and secured tbs
enactment of "blue sky" law to pro-
tect unsuspecting investors from the lure
of balloon common and bubble preferred.
The board Of commerce boosted for il.
The Adcrafters concurred. Then every
body seemed to forget all about it but
the folks with glittering prospectuses
who got busy right away and success
fully attacked the constitutionality Of
the protective measure.
The encouragement studied similar
laws in western states that had with
stood the assaults of security-sellers and
framed new measure modelled after
these lawyer-proof patterns, which was
passed by the legislature
This measure also proved TO be of more
interest to those whose operations il cur
tailed than to anyone else, and they Sc
cured decision against it in the lower
courts. The case has been argued in the
supreme court, and decision is pend
ing.
In the meantime the Michigan Securi-
ties Commission is legally constructed
tribunal, created by the state TO save
the public from the wiles of unscrupulous
promoters. The approval of this commits
sion is prerequisite for the legal adver-
tising and selling of securities in Mich
igan.
The law has been outrageously flouted
from the outset by promoters, stock job
bers and newspapers. None Of the or
CARNATIONS that pulled for it has lifted
a hand to compel respect. The commits
sion itself has been none too courageous
in asserting its restrictive and discipln-
ary powers
Just when it seemed that this legisla-
tion had become dead letter the Detroit
stock exchange breathed the breath Of
life into it by refusing TO have anything
to do with Harroun Motor stock, being
namboyantly proclaimed as a sure-thina
investment without the sanction Of the
Michigan Securities Commission and un-
der other conditions that were not re-
garded as reassuring by conservative
brokers.
The Stock Exchange also withdrew its
advertising from the newspapers-News,
Free Press and Journal-that admitted
the enticing advertisements of this un-
approved stock.
BY this practical procedure the dealers
In unquestioned securities pointed the
way TO the quick accomplishment Of ad-
vertising reform. Legitimate advertisers
can evince their disapproval of question

mission will summon the sellers of the
Harroun Motor certificates to appear anC

be revoked for advertising and selling al
unapproved stock.
This sign of resuscitation on the par

SAVING MONEY FOR FARMERS

but its greater usefulness after ALL will consist in the
demonstration that then brought to the notice hun
dreds of people of the work which the experiment station

practically extinct fifteen years ago, but have been pro-

assured unless trappers again permitted to take

DRAWING THE LONG BOW

Parents Of young men who are serv-
ing in the National Gaurd regiments on
the border are much concerned over
some lurid tales Of supposed hardships
which nave been told and written hv
certain sensational newspaper cores
pondents and disgruntled soldiers.
That the relatives and friends of the
men at the front should be guilty Of
sending out such ridiculous reports to
worry and alarm the people "back
home" is uncomfortable. Yet it is fact
One story that is being spread is to
the effect that the men are half starved
Let us dissect this story.
The government issues stated ration
to each man each day. Here is one day 4
allowance per man:
IA pounds of fresh meat.
pound and ounces of fresh bread
or its equivalent in flour. One-eighth OF
an ounce Of baking powder.
4-10 ounces Of navy beans, or rice
or hominy.
l IA pounds Of potatoes; or part pc
tatoes, part onions, part tomatoes, o.
other fresh vegetables.
| l 28-1OO ounces of prunes, or driei
apples, or peaches, or jam.
12-100 ounces of coffee, or tea.
2-10 ounces Of sugar.

INFORM THE EDITOR.

One of the most difficult of the edit
or's jobs is to get facts about births,
marriages and deaths. People seem to
think he ought to know these things
by intuition. If not that, the BIRTH,
marriage or death is of such Importance
in the family that it is presumed the
editor will be informed by some WIRE
less or just grow into the information
Then, when the paper comes out, and
no mention is made of the event, the
editor is blamed for not running good
newspaper or not getting all the news.
Remember there are a good many peo-
pie in this county. If the editor knew
each Of them by name, besides their
family history and the chief events of
their lives, he wouldn't be an editor.
He'd be a demi-g0d, resting his feet
on cloud and slipping ambrOsia in
stead of inhabiting broken-down office
chair and wondering where the money
for the next white paper bill is coming
from.
The life of the average newspaper
man is gay one. Gathering news is
second nature to him, like picking his.
teeth with the Office pen and cussing
the Office towel. Just the same, there
is limit to his omniscience. Last week,
we thought Of million, eight hundred
and forty nine thousand three hundred
and sixty four things of Importance, be-
sides couple of hundred thousand
small items unworthy of mention. And
it was a slow week. We're anxious for
news for the paper, and it won't put
you out much to drop by the Office or
telephone us what's happening at your
house. Then if the items do not get
into the paper, you have right to come
down and lick the stufing out of the
cat.
Otherwise, don't blame US.
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1916-08-03

1-2 ounce Of evaporated milk.
1000 Of gill of vinegar, or pickles.
64-1OO of an ounce Of salt.
400 ounce of pepper.
64-1OO ounce of lard.
$40 ounce Of butter.
In addition they get syrup, flavoring
extracts and spices, ice for preserving
perishable goods, coal and wood for
cooking purposes.
A splendid field range is furnished
each company for cooking, and every
facility is provided for their needs and
welfare.
The soldiers Of the regular army are
receiving exactly the same allowance
as the soldiers Of the National Guard,
vet never a murmur is heard from the
regulars.
1t is but just, however, to the great
mass of National Guard troops to state
that the kicking generally comes from
class of men who are never satisfied,
no matter how much they receive.
If there are any parents and friends
of soldiers in this vicinity they should
not be alarmed. The government sup.
plies all the men require in food, the
surgeons are doing their utmost in SAM
tary measures, and the authorities are
straining every nerve to preserve the
health and morals Of the troops.
Sensational newspaper reports and
letters coming in from the border should
be read with unlimited reserve and salt
| should be sprinkled on every line.

SUGAR FACTORIES GALORE

1t seems that there is no limit to the
increasing number Of sugar factories
that are contemplated in this and other
parts of Idaho, and it appears that any
community can get one from either Of
the two companies of sugar manufac-
turers simply for asking for one.
Thomas r. Cutler, general manager
of the Utah Idaho Sugar Company, is
credited with the following statement:
"We can pay the farmers rate of
$3.50 a ton, flat, delivered in the yards
at the shipping points. Originally our
price was $3.50, but this has gradually
been increased. The ideal method would
be to base the price of beets on the
price Of sugar, but so far this has not
been possible.
Given if the war continues, look
to see sugar competition keen. If 10
new factories were opened each year in
the United States they could not keep
up with the increased consumption. If
we were sure the present high price
would obtain, we could pay higher
price for beets, but we are afraid of it.
"We have seen some wonderful coun-
| try in the northwest on this trip and
your people are fine, progressive,
prosperous lot. We intend to make a
thorough investigation of the POSSIBLE
tiles Of the Spokane country and if we
find things right in the district we
will send an expert agriculturist into
the district right away with corps OF
assistants to work with your local com
mittee in signing up tonnage.
"The ground will have to be prepared
this fall. We do not look with favor or
dry farming because beets grown by
that method develop a second growth
near harvesting time, if rain comes
which is a serious consideration, while
beets in irrigated districts do not d.
this"

WASHINGTON GOSSIP

Washington, July 31.-Charges of
gross discrimination by the Democratic
Congress against certain munitions man.
nfacturers have been laid before the
committee on finance Of the United
States Senate by Andrew C. Gray, OF
Wilmington, Delaware. Mr.. Gray, form
erly attorney general of Delaware, and
twenty other men from Wilmington
representing the chamber of commerce
of that city, spoke for the manufactur-
ers of gunpowder and explosives located
in Delaware and New Jersey. The pro
posed bill, whose idea is to make up the
loss in tariff revenue, due to tariff tink
cring, is regarded as another example
Of bungled legislation.
The charge brought before the com
mittee was that, out of more than three
billion dollars worth of material and
provisions used in war; exported from
this country direct to the war zone, the
war revenue bill proposes to tax only
three classes of munitions: l, copper
2, guns, shells, loaded ammunition, etc.
3, gunpowder or other explosives.
A formal statement giving the ma
terial and provisions used in war anf
sent from this country direct to the
war zone, which 60 Scot free of tai
under the bill, has been filed with the
committee. This includes "canned
meats, army rations of various kinds
shoes, stockings, harness, saddles, blan
kets, kerosene, gasolene, acids, alcohol
locomotives, parts of submarines, range
finders, stamped metal, military equip
ment, swords, bayonets, bromine ant
other military gases, barbed wire ant
other products of iron and steel, horse
to the value of. $12s, 1872 900 and mule
to the value Of $31, 1S6,0OO.' None o
these will be taxed by the new bill.
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1916-08-03

The proposed tax, Mr.. Gray declared,
would fall on thousands Of individuals
scattered throughout the country, who
have purchased powder stock. He esti-
mated that the tax would be equivalent
to $3S for each share Of DUPONT Pow
der stock alone held by anyone. He de-
clared that the net profits Of the COM
pany were already heavily taxed. A new
tax, he said, would mean a double tax
alton.

1t you saw this Mid. Y ear
Mitchell without knowing the 81
facts, you would say that such
car at our price is impossible. For res
it undersells any other car of it's va
size and power and grade. ho
Then you might say-when
you saw all the extras-that some
where we had skimped. So we have
to tell you of John w. Bate to give you
a right conception.
We Have Saved 500
Years ago, John W. Bate, the eff
cheney engineer, was brought to this
organization.
AS an efficiency genius he stands at
the top in the Woodworking lines.
He has built here model efficiency
plant. He has equipped it with thou
sands of time-saving machines. Now it
represents an investment of $4,000, 900.
He has, in this way, cut our factory
costs in two. We are building the
Mitchell for less than like car would
cost anywhere else in the world.
And all of our extras - beauties,
Injuries and conveniences-are paid for
through factory savings.
26 Extras Free
This Mid-Year Mitchell has 26 unique
features. Each is an extra which all
motorists want. But in other cars they
cost an extra price.
These include power tire pump, re-
versble headlights, light in the tonneau,
alocked compartment, cantilevers springs,
an extra-cost carburetor. You will find

John w. Bates work now seems
done. He says he has reached his limit,
in the factory and the car. He would
never permit US to mention his efforts
until they reached this completion.
With all these things together, the
Mid Mitchell is an interesting
sight. No motor car lover should miss
it. It has all that men know to make
a car handsome, enduring and complete.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much allkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. just plain mulsi6ed cocoanut
oil (which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance OF rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily and removes every particle OF dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves It fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap.
and few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.
