Alfred Reiner

"Alfred w. Reiner passed away at
his home in Comfrey Friday morning,
November 22nd, at Is minutes to six
o'clock. Ten days previous he was
taken i'll with influenza, which be-
came complicated with pneumonia, and
after hard struggle, was compelled
to yield to the common enemy of
mankind.
Funeral services were held from
st. PauPs Lutheran church, SATURDAY.
morning, the services being conducted
by Rev. A. ]. Ziskovsky.
"The intermient took place in the
church cemetery. The pallbearers
were Joseph and Andrew Lang, A. c..
Hickie, Mike Schultz, Frank Schwertz-
Ter and P. j. Beckius.
Alfred w. Reiner was born in Bash
aw township, miles north of Com
frey, the 18th day of August, 1892 he
being at the time of his death 26 years
3 months and days old.
when he was II years of age, he
entered the employ Of Wenzel Schoedl
as an apprentice and stayed with
Wenzel for two years. Then he went
to Lucan and worked at his trade for
six months, and then to Wabasso. In
1913 he purchased a shop at Clements
where he resided five years. The Fl
day of July, 1914 he was united in
marriage to Miss Frances Andrezere-
wski of Clements. The second day of
September, this year, he with his
brother, j. w. Reiner, purchased the
Wenzel Schoedl blacksmith shop and
the brothers looked forward to a sue
cessful business career in the firm of
Reiner Bros.
Deceased is survived by his wife
and his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Reiner of Bashaw two sisters, Caro-
line and Augusta Reiner, and four
brothers, August, Frank, John and
Joseph.
alfred Reiner is the third young
business man to be called suddenly
from the walks of life to the world
beyond. Young in years, strong in boz
dy and with promising future, his
death suggests the statement that
death loves shining mark. Deceased
was a young man Of industry, integri-
ty of character and agreeable dispo-
sition. By death the community loses
a splendid citizen, an ambitious and
enterprising mechanic. The sorrow
ing relatives have the sympathy of
all at this time.-Comfrey Times.

by many of the catalog houses and
mail order concerns, who have taken
advantage Of the extensive adver-
Using facilities and cheap mail rates,
to make charges similar to those
which are referred to in the COM

felt that the methods of many of

is hoped that the filing of the COM

will result in cleaner advertising and
better business practices by mail or

THE CALL.

There's an office back in London, ard
the dusty sunlight falls
With its swarms of dancing notes
across the floor,
On the piles of books and papers and
the drab distempered walls
And the bowlers on their pegs be-
hind the door.
There's on office stool in Londoz
where a fellow used to sit
(But the chap that used to sit
there's overseas);
There's a job they're keeping open
till that fellows done his bit,
And the one that job is waiting for
is-Me!
And it may be black ingratitude, but
oh, good Lord, I know
l could never stick the office life
again,
With the coat and cuffs AMI collars
and the long hours crawling slow
And the quick lunch and The same
old morning train;
/ have looked on life and death ard
seen the naked soul Of man,
And the heart of things is other
than it seemed.
And the world is somehow larger than
the good old office plan,
And the ways Of earth are wider
than / dreamed.
There's a chap in the Canadians "a
thinking good chap, too
And he halls from back O. nowhere
in B. c.,
And he says it's sure some country
and / wonder if it's true,
And l rather fancy that's The place
for me.
There's trail l mean to follow and
camp I mean to share
Out beyond the survey, up in Cas-
sair,
For there's something Weakened in me
that | never knew was there,
And they'll have to find some othe,
chap to fill that vacant chair.
When the boys come march,: g
homeward from the war.

Trade Commission
Charges Fraud
MAIL ORDER HOUSE CHARGED
WITH MISLEADING
CONSUMERS

The Federal Trade Commission has
Issued complaint against Gordon
Van Tine Company, mail order con-
Germ, charging unfair methods of
competition. The Federal Trade
Commission charges this concern with
widely circulating a false advertise
ment containing gross misrepre-
sentation of the terms of an order
and decision issued by the Commits
sion, the object of such false adver-
tisement being to create in the mind
of the public a suspicion that the
retail lumber dealer is not dealing
fairly.
The complaint of the Commission
also charges this concern with unfair
competition with the intent, purpose
and effect of injurilg, embarrassing
and discrediting local retail lumber
dealers. 1t is said that for more than
two years this concern has circulated
catalogues and published statements
through the various states and terri
tories of the United States in which it
is represented that the United States
Government vouches for and guaran-
tees it's reliability and business hon.
esty; that it sells all it's lumber pro
ducts from the mill direct to the con-
sumner; that the retail dealers are
members of a Lumber Trust; that
it saves the consumer from twenty
five to fifty per cent; all of which
above statements the complaint says
are false, deceptive and misleading
This concern is also charged in the
complaint with secretly and without
the knowledge Of the purchaser or
consumer, offering and paying to
local contractors, builders and carpen-
tiers, bonus, or so-called commission
as an inducement to influence such
contractors and builders to push or
favor the sale of defendants lumber
and building materials over those of
the retail lumber dealers. The COM
plant cites the defendent to appear
in Washington on January 9, 1919,
to answer the charges Of unfair COM
petition and Misrepresentation.
