Urges State Authorities
To Curb Speculators

Where goods are boarded. prices ar
bitrarily raised, or extortionate trade
agreements of a local character are
made they must be prosecuted by the
local authorities. The Federal Trade
Commission yesterday deluged with
complaints against high prices from
local communities, states that neither
it nor any other department in Wash
lngton has power to handle these
local cases.
Each State and each county has its
own prosecuting officers" says a state
ment of the commission. They should
be forced to take up these local cases
under the laws against evil psiness
practices which every State has. The
Trade Commission and Department of
Justice will promptly attend to vio-
lations of Interstate character"

"Good Morning
Judge"
Naughty Marietta.

Last Sunday was the birthday Of
Marietta Wilks. So Marietta received
many congratulations but very few
presents. One she did get, because
Fred Enrol threw himself at her feet
which were shod with No. III gov
ernment brogans. Fred was very at
tentive for three whole days, and
until some of his friends "kidded'
him. he was the happiest man in the
United States. Wednesday night his
feet became very much chilled and ne
broke or the engagement with the
excuse that his country needed him.
But the sly old fox went a-calling
again and engaged himself with no
trouble at all to another dusky belle.
1t always happens in novels. motion
pictures and in melodramas that these
two women always meet, and they did.
Much to Marietta's sorrow. she had
never been trained for anything but a
kitchen mechanic. and it happened,
too, to be a time when she sorely
wished she had been some kin to Jack
johnson. Women have a habit of
talking about their prospective hus-
bands and these two did not know
they were talking about the same
man, one OF them very happy and the
other quite angry. but when his name
was mentioned the dust flew. and so
did a few chairs. And now for Mag
gle she is still poorer by a $40 bill
which she must pay or go down.

thought, there wouldn't be enough

A Bad Bill.
BY
RUDOLPH
PERKINS

Bill Hazleman and his "razzer" were
inseparable companions. Wherever you
saw Bill you could always see the
"razzer" Once Bill had had a very
close shave in a scrap and ever af-
terward carried his trusty weapon.
Wednesday night Bill got of from
work in an ice cream factory and he
took a few drinks to warm him up.
The ice made him rather chilly. He
got a little too warm and wanted
to paint the town red. Now the po-
lice department objected to that sort
of thing and arrested Bill and his
razor. The court decided that a
drunken man and a sharp razor were
just about as bad as a submarine
and a torpedo. with a helpless mer-
chant ship in sight, and fined Bill
$50, which will cause him and his
razor to be separated a long time.
Whoa! There Maggie.
II a lonesome individual, of the male
sex, happens to stand around unat-
tached, with absolutely no one to sew
his clothes or tell his troubles to, why
isn't it the privilege of any shrewd.
scheming woman to land him if she
can? This is what got Maggie Sisson
into trouble. Very carefully Maggie
selected, for herself. a partner. But
she was too careful. The man voiced
no objection but a former sweetheart
of his did. Coming out Of the movies
Wednesday night Maggie and her es-
cort met up with the woman she out
rivaled. And it so happened that Mag
gie's heavy leather purse came down
on her head a trifie too hard for a

a lame crab and let Maggie send the
other woman home with a bruised
head. And Maggie is out just $50 be-
cause she engaged herself to the
wrong man at the right time.
Just Like a Turk.
A friend told Joe Pinckard that
there was a job of work here, with
better wages than he could get in
South Carolina. Joe came on, but
after being here a few days he got
nearsighted and couldn't find the job.
This town compared to Joe's home
town was wide open and Joe made
better time shooting craps than wrest-
ling with a pick and shovel. Tuesday
morning Joe went on a little pleasure
trip with a girl claimed by a friend
whom he had beat at a crap game.
1t was alright to win the other mans
money, but the agreement said moth
ing about the girl. Joe got a calling
down for this stunt and was told ii
was not the custom here to pay a
gambling debt with a woman. Joe
disputed it and fought a duel with a
pick handle, with the girls beau. He
was an expert at swinging a pick and
will have a chance to display his skill
at Occoquan for thirty days, unless
someone lends him so.
