SEARS-ROEBUCK COMPANY
MUST CEASE UNFAIR WAYS

Washington, June 30-Sears, Roe
buck and Company of Chicago, today
We're ordered by the Federal Trade
Commission TO desist from certain
unfair methods of competition in
cluding the circulation OF false and
misleading advertisements which the
company Admitted had been practic-
ed.
Sales on sugar at less than cost
conditioned on the purchase of other
groceries on which n sufficient price
was received to give a profit on the
combined sale, was one of the prac-
tices disproved of by the federal COM
mission. The company was also ard
cred to stop advertising that its repre-
sentatiyes supervised the picking of
tea it offered for sale; that all its
coffees are purchased from the best
plantations in the world. and that
competitors of the company do not
deal honestly with their customers.

CRowDER'S WORK OR FIGHT
ORDER EFFECTIVE MONDAY

The Work or Fight" order requir-
ing draftees who are in the preferred
classes TO engage in essential occupa-
tiOns or be drafted into war service,
became effective Monday. GunnisOn
young men-clerks in stores and occu-
pied at other work classed a. non-es-
sentIal in the government order, must
find other occupations or be drafted
into war service.
The new order affects all men OF
draft age, regardless Of exemptions
or deferred classifications. Il is dras-
tic in its operation and those who fail
70 comply with its requirements Will
be summoned into some form Of gov
ernment service.
All employees Of amuscments, and
all draftees engaged in sports for a
livelihood are affected as well as auto
drivers of pleasure cars, clerks in
stores. This work or fight" order did
not cause any general confusion in
business circles in GunnisOn, as most
of those who are affected by il have
already made arrangements TO COM
ply with the spirit of the order and
have changed their occupations.
So far as known, there are very
few classes to which the order may
be made to apply, and in such cases
the young men who are affected are
ready TO fill any call the government
may make. There has been no gener-
al protest heard in regard TO the mat
ter, as most of the young men are
loyal and willing to follow the plans
Of the War Department and to assist
in any way possible in helping win
the war Many draftees have left
renumcrative employment in our
mercantile establishments to en-
gage in government service or to seek
employment in lines OF work classed
by the War Department as essential.

l. MARKET MORALE

Herbert Kaufman in Pueblo Star
Journal
Advertising is more than a promo
tisn force now-it is a proclamation
Of faith in the vitality and resources
of these United States, an expression
of confidence in Americas ability t0
survive and go forward. steadying
influence in a disturbed hour, encour-
agement to weakened capitalists
and doubling Thomases.
The community is well aware that
advertised goods are necessarily hon.
est goods. Newspapers and maga-
zines no longer countenance cheats
and shysters. So long as product is
advertised there is safe standard
by which to purchase and a means Of
measuring competing wares.
The merchant or manufacturer who
stops advertising during the war,
spreads doubt and unrest and loses
the greater part Of former investment
in printers ink.
While patriotism urges US to count
every penny, every penny must count.
Factories and stores that continue to
be responsible and continue to remind
US of their responsibility, preserve
market marale, assist in saving need
ed materials and educate the consum-
ers dollar to do its duty to income and
country by avoiding trash and truck.

ARMY MEDICAL DEPART
MENT DECLARES WAR ON
FLIES AND MOSQUITOES

Special attention is being given by
the Medical Department of the army
ts all camps in cleaning up spots
where mosquitoes and flies breed. In
some cases it has been necessary to
dig channels in streams drain swamps
and put in elaborate ditching systems
In cases where it has been impossible
or impracticable to drain swamps and
do similar work there has been install
led a system for slow-moving streams
and still bodies of water covered with
oil. At all points in the camps where
there is the slightest possibility of
mosquitoes or flies breeding, daily
spraying of oil is done.
Arrangements have been complet-
ed with the Federal Public Health
Service to carry out a similar pro-
gram in the territory adjacent to the
camps. The Health Service has
agreed to fill bogs, drain swamps and
continue the oil spraying for dis
tance of mile around tach camp.
Special precautions have been taken
to prevent the spread Of disease by
flies. Instructions were given on the
disposal of materials that were likely
to become breeding spots. Arrange
ments were made to protect all food
from flies. With this end in view, all
buildings where food is prepared or
stored are screened. Entrances to all
such buildings have been vestibuled.
An average Of 5000 fly-traps have
been placed in each camp, and more
than 22,700,000 square feet of screen
ing have been placed in each camp.

SAVE SACKS

Bulletin No. 35, U S. Food Admins
tration.
The practice of using sacks at the
threshing machine for handling grain
is an extravagant and wasteful meth
cd no matter what the cost of sacks
may be. Now that sacks are scarce
and prices practically prohibitive, this
is the appointed time for farmers and
dealers TO abandon the practice as far
as possible. 1t may be an inconveni-
ence in some localities to attempt to
do so, yet the sack situation demands
that an effort be made to save sacks.
Dealers and farmers should be urged
to repair and build bins to hold grain.
Farmers should be urged to repair
old wagon boxes. Many an old wagon
box will render good service if the
bottom is covered with thin sheet iron
or tin, the bolts frightened up, joints
battened and using strips Of cloth.
Old sacks or fabric Of some kind
should be used in bad corners to pre-
vent leaks; that is the method gem
berally resorted to thruout Kansas -
Eastern Colorado, where sacks arq
seldom seen at threshing machine.
| In shoyeling the grain good apruna
should be used to catch the droppinR1
and much less waste occurs by hau1-
ling in bulk than where sacks aSo
used.
Save the sacks for handling cru
that absolutely require them.
Conservation il the order Of the, d.
and sacks should be positively say7
a. much as possible.

UP AND DOWN THE VALLEYS

Geo. W. Seeley of the A. S. Natl
Bank of Denver and Fred Gray of
Limon, Colorado, were in Gunnison
Friday and Saturday of last week
looking for large stock ranch.
There is a national movement in
favor of the use of horse meat for
the family table and DIR. Glover of
the state agricultural college, has is
sued a statement commencing the
diet, saying that there is no reason
why il should not be done as the
horse lives upon the cleanest food of
all animals and is immune from
tuberculosis or cholera. However,
the high price of horses and the
fact that they are needed along 9TH
er lines will not bring this form of
food into general use unless we eat
the broken down and ready to die
stock which might be very unpopular.
Colorado citizens now own more
than $4,000, 900 worth of automobiles,
according to a conservative estimate
made by "Jimmien holland, secretary
Of state. Altho Jimmie" ordered 90,-
900 automobile owners license tags at
the beginning of the year, he has just
found II necessary to order 10000
more and thinks that he may have to
order more yet before the year ends.
in all of the larger counties
Of the state the number of tags issued
exceeds the number issued
in each county for the entire year in
1917. In Denver there is an excess
Of l 900 to date.

NATION AND STATE JOIN
IN ROAD PROJECTS
Colorado Highway Bulletin

Colorado Highway Bulletin
Work has been started on four for
estry road projects which will serve
to cut down the distance between line
points on four of the state highways.
A final conference held between Com
missioner T. J. Ehrhart, representing
the state, and r. E.Pratt, district en-
gineer, U. S. Forest service; and A. E.
Palen, senior highway engineer, U. S.
Office of Public Roads, cleared up the
last point on the triangular agree
ment and crews are now engaged in
preliminary work.
The first project taken under con-
sideration was that relating to the Sc
dalia-Decker Springs cutoff. This
cutoff, which embraces a distance of
1889 miles, shortens the distance be-
tween Denver and Cripple Creek by
several miles and the work will be
completed this year.
The second project is that over the
Monarch pass from Maysville, on the
eastern side Of the range to Sargent
on the western. The mileage called
for in the contract is 27.1 and work
will be completed next year. The
road is now in passable condition but
the new contract calls for an elimina-
ton of dangerous curves and q gener-
al reduction of the grade. The pass
cuts sixty miles from the eastern
slope to the west.
The Durango-Silverton project is
SO generally known as to require lit
tie comment. The work necessary to
make the road traversable is Tx
miles and when completed the cutoff
will furnish northern outlet for all
southwestern Colorado, eliminating q
present roundabout route Of several
hundred miles. The construction in
volved is of q most difficult nature
and construction will hardly be COM
pleted before 1919.
The other project to be undertaken
is that on Rabbit. Ear pass, between
Kremplling and Steamboat Springs, q
distance Of POTS miles.
The road is now in use but the work
will improve it greatly and will make
traffic conditions in that section Of
the state much easier.

PONCHA PASS TO BE
OPEN NEXT WINTER

Colorado Highways Bulletin.
Through automobile traffic over the
mountain range will be possible all
the year around in Colorado as q re-
suit Of n conference held by the coun-
y commissioners of Saguache and
Chatfee counties, whereby the Poncha
road will be kept open for travel at
all times, in rain or snow, hail or sun
shine.
Announcement of the decision OF
the commissioners was made to Stat
Highway Department by w. l.. Phi
bin, county commissioner of ChnfYee
county, who was in Denver with Sem
ator Frank H. Means, of Saguache,
for the purpose of looking into road
arrangements in their district.
Heretofore" said Mr.. Philbin,
there has been a period of from two
weeks to month when through traf-
fic over the range has been impo ossible
because of the heavy drifts Of snow.
Acting in conjunction with Saguache
our county has now perfected a plan
whereby we will detour the road for
distance of some 800 yards in the
gulch at the top of the range and by
keeping grading crews constantly at
work, we will be able to give Colorado
through road at all times"

toned last week.
Gunnison news-champion., 1918-07-05

The above gives one the impression
that the editor of the Highway Bulle-
tin thought Poncha pass crossed the
main range. This is Cochetopa pass Of
course, but it is fair to state that as
little difficulty will be experienced in
keeping Cochetopa pass open as Pom
cha pass, and the two form the link
over the lowest auto route in the
state.
1t is within the bounds of possible
ty to consider future travel that will
demand a through road to the West
ern Slope all winter, and this must
come via Cochetopa pass and either
Blue mesa, or q new road via the Rim

The Hawaiian gazette., 1918-10-18

The chart above compares the weekly
movement of rehners' stocks OF raw
sugar this year with the preceding year
and with the prewar average. 1t may
be noted that the tendency Of the curve
is to follow the prewaT average rather
than the curve Of last year This is Il
wholesome tendency, for stocks last
year were depleted too rapidly and re
suited IN severe shortage in the inter
val between the Cuban, Porto RicaR,
and Hawaiian cane crops and our do
mestIc beet and cane crops. 1t is a
striking fact that at no time this year
have stOcks been anywhere near those
of the prewar years or Of last year. At
the latest date, August 10, stocks were
still not much over one half Of last
year s. This alone indicates the neCFs
sity for conservation.
Geographical Complications
An additional factor whirh rOmph
Gates our sugar situation is the physical
factor of the geographical extent of
our country. IT is possible that there
may be an excess Of sugar in the cOun
try as a whole. and at the same time
severe shortages in particular localities
far away from renters of distribution.
II is therefore not only necessary 10
make certain of sufficient supplies for
the country taken as "a unit, bat ii is
also necessary to plan ahead with u
