o radically to modify the Constitution

so radically to modify the Constitution
upon which this country is founded.
Among the faults which the speaker
attributed to the new constitution were
that 1t fails to recognize such funda
mental rights of man as the right of
life itself; that its most elementary
provisions have countless strings at
tached to them: that it contains tia-
grant breaches of the right of contract;
that 1T is permeated with class legis-
lation, and that it limits the right to
speak, to write and even to think.

Britannica, Vol. XXII9 How "seamless
hosiery" is manufactured? (See '.Hosiery, -
Britannica, VOL KILL What different dyes are
made Of? Which dyes are best for certain
fabrics? How to insure "fast colors"? (See
"Dyeing, Britannica, VOL VIIID
When you have at your finger-ends the an
swers to questions such as these you have the
kind of knowledge which means a larger sal
ary and promotion. And this is the kind of
practical, usable information that you find in
the new Britannica.
For this reason alone the Britannica is the
best possible investment you can make. Yet
the information and facts it furnishes on any
subject is only a fraction of its contents. II
tells you all about other lines of merchandise
about production, manufacture and what
ever you seek to know. Consider that it has
41,OOO separate articles, written by the highest
authorities in their particular lines, and you
can form some idea of its tremendous value
as source of knowledge.
If you are salesman in any line, or are fol-
lowing another branch of business, you need
the Britannica.
1t deals not only with what you are directly
interested in in making living, but it spans
the wide range of what all the world is inter-
estedin. tits a complete library fascinating
to read as it is authoritative.
TheAmerican editor of the Britannica will be
glad to suggest special course of practical
reading if you request it. The question is not
whether you want to buy Handy Volume
set of the new Britannica, printed on the ia
nous India paper, because it is now offered at
an attractively low price, but
whether you can afford not to own it.
The "first cost" is insignificant compared to
the everyday usefulness of this wonderful
work. Buy set and what you get out of it
will soon repay you many times over what it
costs. Investigate it further-send at once for
the illustrated book Cfree) which tells all about
the Britannica and the prices of the different
bindings. Find out more about it.
We urge you to act promptly, because the
sets now on hand are the last printed on India
paper. War has cut off the supply of flax
which goes into the manufacture OF this beau.
tiful paper. No more can be had.
(You can buy the Britannica for a first pay
ment of 81 and pay the balance in monthly
amounts of So to $3.50 (according to binding)
for a limited period. And the entire set (29
volumes) will be shipped to your home or
office at once. Don't delay. Act NOW.)

Suspects the Dealers.

'I am also inclined to believe that it
will eventually be disclosed that deal
ers have in studied fashion used the
newspapers for dissemination of false
Information as to the scarcity of prod
ucts. A case in point is the coal situa-
tion in a certain great city.
Il am told that recently the control
ing coal dealer in that city called in the
reporters from the papers and told
them an alarming story about the
shortage of coal in that city, represent
ing that the supply was sufficient to
last only for a limited period. Imme-
dlately, of course, the newspapers
printed the story and it was accepted
as the real situation without any par
ticular investigation
Subsequently, however. it was dis
covered that at the very time this
statement was given out that there was
IN the city normal supply of coal This,
OF course. came to me merely as a story"

GOVERNOR ON STAND
IN HIS OWN DEFENSE
Texas Executive Before Legislative
Committee Denies Charges
Made by H. c. Poe.


AUSTIN, Tex, March 10.-Gov James
E. Ferguson of Texas, testifying today in
his own behalf before legislative COM
mittee, denied charges made by Fl. G..
Poe, former president of the Temple State
Bank, that he had attempted to prevent
the recording of certain mortgage liens
held by the Temple bank, of which the
governor formerly was president, and ex-
planned his disbursements for travelling
expenses and expenditures for the mainte-
nance of the executive mansion. Gov.
Ferguson will continue his testimony when
the hearing is resumed Monday.
The governor also denied statements
made by Poe, who concluded his testi-
mony early in the afternoon. that he had
assumed responsibility for notes given by
John Mckay, former secretary of state,
for SO 900; by John H. Spires of Temple,
for sS,5Oo and by VIII r. Wallace. his
brother-in-law, for $4,000. He went into
detail to show that the notes We're given
by the three men and paid by them.

Limits His Campaign Expenses.

In the case of Mckay note, the governor
said that when he hit the road and beat
the politicians" in his race for governor,
he estimated before the campaign that he
could not afford expenses above $4,000.
He told this to Mckay, who was his
manager and to whom he delegated all
financial affairs. When the campaign was
over it was found that the expenses had
run sc. 900 or 81, 900 above $4,000.
Il told Mckay l had no money" said
the governor, land he gave his note to
the Temple State Bank.
Nothing could be more deliberately
untrue than Poe's statement that l told
him that McKays note was mine." add
ed the witness.
Mckay paid it off, and paid him.
During his testimony Gov. Ferguson
gave figures to show that his properties
were sufficiently valuable to more than
secure all his obligations.

Example Is Cited.

Begin with Mrs. Brown. an intelli-
gent housewife. Find that this morn
ing. for example, she paid. we will say.
IL cents a round for five pounds of
sugar. She bought it from Tom Jones,
the retail grocer. Next, go to Jones.
Ask him where he obtained the barrel
of sugar from which Mrs Browns
purchase was delivered and what he
paid for it.
Possibly he would say that he paid
the normal figure. from to cents,
but that he had charged IL cents be-
cause he was informed that the sup
ply was exhausted. Then call for his
evidence. any letters or kilograms that
he might have in support of that state
ment.
Follow that to the wholesaler. to
the producer. and so on to the very
fountain head.
Il believe that such a simple direct
line of investigation would disclose
valuable information. Possibly this
line of investigation is being followed.
If not, it seems to me it could be taken
UP in hundreds of localities and with
reference to all products for which ex-
ceSsiXe prices are charged.

You may be drygoods salesman, travel
ing in the Middle West or the Southern

more than this if you are going to promote
yourseL-and, do you realize that you are
the one to do the pr0n70tng2 And the
means to do it is in knowledge.
The more you know about raw mate
rials, fabrics, methods of manufacture,
centers of industry, distribution of trade;
the more you know about the businesses
allied to your own and about things in
which other persons are interested
the better salesman you are, whether
you travel or stand behind counter.
And the sooner you will advance;
the su1er you will be of having busi-
ness OF your own.
Now, how much do you know?

the beautiful Flemish damasks? (See

NEW PLAN OFFERED
/ FOR FOOD INQUIRY
Byron R. Newton Would Trace
Price From Consumer Back
+ to the Producer.
HINTS AT DEALERS PLOT

Excessive cost of food products could
be determined. in the opinion of As
sistant Secretary Byron r. Newton OF
the Treasury Department. by tracing
the staple articles back from the con-
sunner to the producer. He suggests
that the price the housewife pays for
certain article of food first be ascer-
tained. then the cost to the retailer VINO
sold it. what the retailer paid for 1t to
the wholesaler. and so oh. down the
line to the price obtained by the farm
er who grew 1t.
Mr. Newton made this suggestion in
statement issued yesterday. He said:
The normal impulse of the normal
citizen, together with the lessons of
many years OF newspaper experience,
prompt me to offer this suggestion.
Why not take the simple course of TAX
ing some product and trace its path
way from consumer to producer after
this manner:
