"PLASTERED WITH SPI ESP"

1t should make US sit up and take
notice to hear what the State Commits
sioner of Taxes, Charles A. Plumley,
has to say in circular letter which he
is sending this week to all sheriffs,
deputy sheriffs, city and village police.
81 have information from a source
which consider absolutely reliable" he
says, Ito the effect that this country
is 'plastered with pedders, canvassers
and hoboes who are peddling as a side
line, and are in fact in the pay of the
German Government.
II am, " he continues making it my
business to ask you to see to it that no
unidentified, or unlicensed person is
permitted to peddle from house to house
in your town. The time to lock the door
is before the horse is stolen, and we
should make it our business to know
g. who these people are that are travelling
across our state ostensibly as peddlers,
canvassers and hoboes."
Commissioner PlumIey may or may
not be an alarmist in this matter, but
it is plainly wise, in peace or war, for
the public to keep close watch on
tnerants, The peddler is required by
statute to have in his possession a
license properly signed by the commits
sioner of taxes. If he cannot produce
such license upon demand he is sub
ject to fine of twenty-dollars. The
least the farm housewives and others
who come in contact with the peddler
can do is to demand that he show his
license, and if he fail to do so take steps

He SO educated his family that when
another and later occasion came
when the country was in need OF voi-

any mother who didn't raise her boy
to be soldier need not hesitate to put
him in the Boy Scouts organization.
