SEARS -ROEBUCK ACCUSED

Washington, D. C.-The Federal Trade Commission has issued an Or der to Sears Roebuck & Co.,, of Chi cago, 70 cease the following prac- tices, held to be unfair methods of 0mpetition:
 l. Circulating catalogues con taining advertisements of sugar for sale, wherein it is falsely repre- sented that because of large pur- chasing power and quick moving stock the company Is able to sell SUI gar at lower price than its com petitors.
 2.Selling or offering to sell sugar below cost, through catalogues cir culated through the country.
 8. Circulating catalogues contain ing advertisements representing that It's competitors do not deal fair ly, honestly and justly with custom CTS.
 i. Circulating catalogues contain ing advertisements offering its teas for sale in which it is falsely stat ed the company sends a special rep reseutatiye tC Jaoan who person ally goes into tea gardens of that country and personally supervises picking of the tea,
 5 Circulating catalogles contain ing advertisements offering coffee in which it is falsely stated the company purchases all of its cof- direct from the best plantations in the world.
 It was admitted that during the latter half of 1915 Sears Roebuck & Go. sold sugar to such an ex- tent that $7S0,0OO was received for it, the sales being made at a loss of $196,O00, all the sales being combination sales on which a profit was made. It was admitted, also, that advertisements were circulated in which it was intimated that com petitors were charging more than a fair price for sugar.
 The other practices forbidden by order of the commission were ad- mitted also.

CAHsDs STOPS
 GOLD SHIPPING

By order-in-council of date of June the government of Canada prohibits the export of gold, eith- CT in coin, bullion or bars from tn Dominion. No reference is made in the rder-in-council to gold nuggets or jewely, but presumably the de- cree covers this form of gold ex- port also.
 E. s. Inonside, collector of GUS toms at Dawson, on July 1st, re- ceived from John McDougal, com missioner of customs at Ottawa, the following memorandum under date of June 6:i
 Under the terms Of an order-in- council of 3rd June, 18fSs which is set forth below, the export of gold coin, gold bullion and fine gold bars is prohibited except under license from the minister of finance.
 Customs officers will govern themselves accordingly, and are on ly to permit export of these commo- dities on presentation of a license issued by the minister of finance, the deputy minister of finance, or the acting minister Or acting deputy minister"
 Attached to the foregoing was the following copy of the rder of the priyy council of Canada, dated Monday, June 3, and signed by R. Bourdeau, clerk of the council:
 "Wherea, To assist in the conser vation of the supply the minister of finance is of the opinion that the export of gold coin, gold bullion and fine gold bars should be prohibited except under license from the min ister ,s finance:
 Therefore, His Excellency, the Governor General in Council, on ;he recommendation of the minister of finance, and under the provisions of the War Measures Act, 1914, is pleased to order that is hereby or dered that the export of gold coin, gold bullion and fine gold bars from the Dominion of Canada shall be and the same is hereby prohibit ed, except in such cases as may bt deemed desirable 'oy the minister of finance and under license to be issued by him. ."-Whitehorse Star.

In a comparatively brief space of time Getchell and his part ner Baker took out a substantial grubstake last fall, out of the pay streak which they had located. Ol- son and Christopherson are report cd to have located the same pa streak nearer the head of the creek
 Duscan Mccormick, the original diScoyerer of the district, and who owns claims on Albert creek, is 8 resident of Anchorage, in the em- pIoy of the commission. He has never lost faith in the camp and is firmly convinced that it will be developed into a good producer in the course of time.
 The building fo the railroad to the Matanuska coal fields is a big aid to the Nelchina, as that district lies just over a comparatively low divide from the coal areas. - An chorage Times.

THE NELCHINA DISTRICT

The Nelchina district is coming into the limelight again. Some four years ago there was a stampede to that district, hundreds of pros pectors going in-and coming out a few months later. The camp got a black eye as Q result of this stampede, and 1t will take the heal ing DOW CTS of time to eradicate the prejudice against the district that those who went in-and came out again-haye for it But there were 9 few prospectors who refused to come out, only when necessity com pelIed them to secure additional food supplies.

America Fills the Need.

For years 1t has been the custom for American manufacturers to obtain each season a large number of Paris garments and readapt them to the needs of American women. Paris has always taken the lead in suggesting possible styles. But the war has brought American designs to the fore, although It has by no means served to discourage Paris artists. Now many garments wholly American are being shown, and the fact has been clearly proved this country need never In future play second fiddle. The fact that fabrics and trimmings are scarce and that wool, especially, must be con- served has probably worked to the ad- vantage of American designers and would-be designers. For simplicity has been the rule.

ME AND-YOU" PLAN TO PASS
 ALONG INSPIRING WORDS

Miss Etta v. Leighton, civic secre' tary of the National Security League has started a Me and You" lip to lip, American propaganda. In this the plan is that for every Hun lie uttered there shall be spoken an American truth. The truths are embodied in slogans taken from President Wilson's speeches, Gen. Pershing's messages, and from lit erature sent out by the Committee on Public Information, the National Se- curity League, and ether Organiza- tions.
 Miss Leighton Is also advising club women, teachers, and other groups to write the slogans on slips oF paper and to inclose them in all letters sent to France and Italy, these slogans to be written the language of the country for which they are intended, so that they can ba handed to soldiers and civilians.
 I've will smash the German line in France if you smash the Hun propaganda at home" is a quotation from Gen. Pershing. ''Francais! Tenez bon. Nous venons ct, nous irons usjqu'au bout" is suggested as an incEosure for any soldiers let ter to France.
