 Sears, Roebuck has made millions, it has grown to be the largest distributor of mer- chandise to consumers in this country, has posed as the emancipator of the people and their protector against high prices and now we find that it has all been a sham. Not con- tent with underselling them on sugar to an appreciable de- gree to ''show them up" thru hiding the shells through the combination deal, this four flushing friend of the consum- CTS has acknowledged to the world that it has been double crossing them. Moreover, it stopped to the lowest depths of unfair competition by cir culating catalogues containing advertisements which repre- sented that it's competitors, the retail merchants of course, did not deal fairly, honestly and justly with their customers. It was the dirtiest kind of compe- tition and consumers every where should relentlessly show their resentment.
 In many homes the most conspicuous books are the bi- ble and a Sears, Roebuck cata- logue. These mail order con- cerns are governed by no law. They run wild and rough shod over the territory of the whole United States.

Patrons of retail CTS located in Joplin may have reasonable assurance that the goods advertised in the Joplin newspapers are as represent ed. If the merchants of Jop- lin are not living up to the statements made in their ad- vertisements, the Joplin Ad- vertising Club will be glad to know it, and prosecutions will follow.
 It seems unnecessary to point a moral. The average person will see it without referring to it.-The Joplin (Mo.) News Herald.

PLACING THE SKIDS
J. E. Sullivan

The merchant who sells a staple article below cost will bear watching. For years the mail order houses of Chicago have been advertising sugar far below the market price. When sugar was selling on the New York market at 5 cents pound Sears, Roe buck and Company offered to give victims thirty-three and one-third pounds for $1.O0.
 In an investigation by the federal trade commission, Sears, Roebuck and Com pany admitted they had sold sugar below cost to the ex- tent of loosing $19O,OO0. But don't think there was an act ual loss. In order to get thirty three and one-third pounds of sugar for $1.O0 it va S necessary to buy other goods amounting to $10. That's where the customer got a trim ming.
 One of the objects of offer Ing to sell staple goods below cost is to show up the local dealers. This Chicago house sought to prove to the people that their local merchants were charging them too much Tor sugar. It was an outrage.
 Anyone with knowledge of conditions understands that sugar has never paid the deal- CT a sufficient margin. Being 2 olg institution with plenty of money and skill adroitly

As it is regarded as unlikely that

Following conference this morn
ing with Assistant State Leader Wal
ter Packard. Imperial county's new
farm adviser, Dr. w. O. Johnson of
Holtville, who took up the reins of
office today, issued a short state
ment of the policy and plans of his
department for the coming year.
Summed up, the Farm Bureaus
work will be chiefly confined to
speeding up the production of "win-
the-war" crops and raw materials,
specifically cotton, wheat, wool and
mutton.
"The two projects I shall especial
ly push are the campaign for in
creased wheat acreage and production
and the sheep raising" said DR.. john
son. "My problem in the former pro-
ject is to obtain a substitution of
wheat for the barley acreage.
"There is little or no demand from
our allies or the military arm of our
government for barley and its price is
speculative. On the other hand, there
is the increasing demand for wheat
as a necessity Of life from our Allies
and the neutral world, and stable
price, fixed by the government, an
amount which guarantees the farmer
a good profit.
.Wheat furnishes the same pasture
as does barley, is easier to thresh,
the expense of handling and transpor-
tation is the same, and there is no
danger to the crops from the aphis,
which is the bane of Valley barley.
"In increase of sheep here l hope
to obtain the support of the people
toward getting small flocks on every
ranch, thus increasing the production
Of wool and mutton without a revo-
lutionary change in farm manageme
When you stop to consider that 20
head of sheep are necessary to clothe
one soldier, you can readily under
stand their Importance"
The aim of the farm advisor Is to
increase the wheat acreage in the
Valley from 10000, the present crop,
to $4,000 acres.

WILL CARRY
MURDER CASE
.vERD| TO.
HIGH COURT
Defense in Hindu Murder
Trial Expects to Appeal
From Jury Decision in the
Superior Court.

The fight to save Khair Din from
life Imprisonment for the murder of
his former business partner, Fareed
Baksh, on which he was convicted yes
terday in the Imperial county Supe-
hior court, will be carried to the Court
of Appeals.
After conference with his client,
Attorney O. v. Wilson, for the de-
fense, announced that tentative de-
cision had been reached to appeal the
case to the higher court on the
grounds that in the trial the lower
court had erred in several instan-
ces. - ITs~rs
"I feel satisfied that the higher
court will grant US favorable hear
ing" said Attorney Wilson. "At least
seven errors in law have been noted
in the trial just closed and a closer
perusal of the record may disclose
others" Z W!V9A1
After deliberating for seven and
one-half hours the jury at midnight
last night brought in a verdict of
murder in the first degree, recon-
mending that the penalty be fixed at
life Imprisonment. The recommenda-
ton Of the jury is binding on the
court, the law leaving the punish
ment of death or Imprisonment to
the discretion of the court only
where verdict of first degree mur-
der is found and no recommendation
given.
Under orders from Judge Cole,
who presided at the trial, the pris-
oner will face the court on Thursday
morning to receive his sentence. At
that time the defense is expected TO
move for a new trial and, if denied,
to file notice of appeal.
In the course of the case the de-
tense laid the responsibility for the
crimes on another Hindu and sought
to show that the extreme charges
against Khair Din were brought by
enemies of his own race to clear the
guilty person. Attorney Wilson con-
tended that he killings were he re-
suit of an Oriental feud, which he
liekned to Chinese tong war.
The prosecution was conducted by
District Attorney E. r. Simon, with
James w. Glassford as special prose-
cutor.

sentence by Justice Jonese.
The court imposed a $500 cash
fine on Ross and q 90-day Jail SEN
tence, with the pledge that he would
invest $500 in Liberty bonds to be
presented to his wife. The court in
dicated that the Jail sentence might
be rescinded if the other conditions
were complied with.
Reports from Brawley indicated that
Ross was the worst witness against
himself. ell said on the stand that
he did not intend refusing to buy
bonds, but simply declined to purchase
them in Brawley.

sion. However, there was no change
in the confident belief throughout Of
