SEARS ROEBUCK x co MUST
STOP MISLEADING PUBLIC

Recently the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals of the seventh cir
cult, with one slight amendment, sus-
tanned the order to cease and desist OF
the commission in the case of Sears
Roebuck & Company, VS.. the Federal
Trade Commission. The gist OF the
complaint was that the respondent
had practiced unfair methods OF com
petition in commerce by false and
misleading advertisements and acts
designed to injure and discredlt ITS
competitors and to deceive the gen
eral public. The respondent defend
ed on the ground that the testimony
failed to prove the charges made;
that the methods complained of were
discontinued before the complaint was
filed; that the act was void on account
of indefiniteness as to what is unfair
competition, and unconstitutional
The court held that the evidence was
sufficient to sustain the charge; that
the fact that the respondent was
pressing litigation indicated that 1t
was not surrendering its position even
tho the practice had ceased before the
complaint was filed; that by the act
the commission was not limited to
common law definitions of unfair com
petition, but was empowered to lind
what was unfair competition subject
to review by the Circuit Court Of APP
peals.
Regarding the modification, the
court held in substance that selling be-
low cost was not necessarily per sc
unfair competition, but that the game
must be joined with representations
or acts (Which have a capacity or ten
dency to injure or to discredit com
petitors and to deceive purchasers.

A GOLDEN REWARD

Alaska's fish for 1918 will bring
more than its gold according to gov

HIGH COST OF LIVING IS
UPHELD BY DEPARTMENT
Director of Sales Testifies He I'm
plOred Officials to Sell the
Surplus Food

Washington, July 24-That the war
department in the face of advanc-
ing cost of living, persistently refused
to place upon the market great sur
plus of food products, was testified
to by c. w. Hare, director of sales
and expenditures in that department.
The known surplus was 75,OOO,OOO
pounds of bacon, 580,000,000 pounds
of ham, $5O,OO0,OOO worth of canned
meats and $100,000,000 worth Of
canned vegetables, all of it in stor-
age suffering steady deterioration
and consequent diminution in value.
81 tried my level best for five
months" said Hare, "to pry these sup
plies loose. l could accomplish moth
ing until about the first of May, when
finally they were declared surplus.
After the war had ended, when no
sane man expected a stand ing army
of more than 100000 men, the gov
eminent postponed for six months
it's decision that there actually was a
surplus in the army rations. | was
told that it was up to the chief of
staff to decide on the size of the
army and that it would then be nee
essary to estimate its requirements,
"When congress appropriated $780,
100000 to relieve the starving people
of Europe, which sum was to be ex-
pended by Food Director Hoover, |
made repeated efforts to induce him
to take some part of the war depart
ment surplus, but he was not inter
ested With an immense surplus of
bacon for which forty cents pound
was paid on hand in the army, Mr.
Hoover bought great quantities of
bacon in Italy at 33 cents a pound
while such sales of our surplus as
had been able to make had been sold
for % cents a pound. | took steps to
bring our surplus to Mr.. Hoover's at
tention. | thot him the natural man
to buy, but | could not interest him
in our meat. | know of no reason
why he refused, and l do know that
he bought brom the Italian govern
ment. Hoovers agent in this country
said he wanted to secure better
quality of meat. Of course, | could
communicate with Mr.. Hoover only
thru the commission set up in the war
department. l never received any re
ply from Mr.. Hoover whatever"
Hare made it perfectly clear that
his function was merely to formulate
the sales policy, and that he had had
jurisdiction over supplies only after
the war department had declared them
a surplus. His testimony is consid-
cred doubly important as bearing up
on the charge frequently made in con-
gress that the refusal to declare a
surplus and the purchase in Europe
had been made in the interests of the
Beef Trust.

Negotiations are now on for the
sale of all United States supplies in
France to the French government.
The total value of all A. E. F. sup
plies is $1,O00,000,000, not including
the cost of transportation and the
French have offered $S0O,000,000. 1t
would seem that the two govern
ments are not hopelessly apart in
their negotiations.

all the soft snaps, you may find one
and if you don't it will be no more
than you expected.
Bushy eyebrows may serve some
wise purpose, but who knows what it
is?
There is no pot of gold at the end
of the rainbow but if you accumulate
a pot of gold you may find a rainbow
at the end of life.
A wise merchant not only knows
which way the wind blows but which
way his debtors elbow"
When you find you have made a
wrong decision think of how many
the courts make and cheer up.
The best liars make the greatest
pretentions to truth.
Courts sentence men for getting
caught.
You can scare an enemy by laugh
ing at him. Then he thinks you have
something "on" him.
Nothing could be much uglier than
some present styles in women's cloth
ing, but if you're not a woman you
don't have to wear them.
There may be worse people in the
world than you but you never hear
them say anything about it.

When you get around to the fact
that the prices of necessaries are so
high because you are willing to pay
the prices that you are asked, you'll
be on the right track to lower them.
Men only impose upon other men
that they think are fools, but they
impose upon nearly all women.
There isn't any such thing as a
friend. Nobody is a friend until he
has seen you at your worst several
times and is still "for" you.
The bride never laughs so happily
that her mother doesn't weep more
weeply. Ask ma; she knows.
Women's styles bring forth mems
smiles.
Life doesn't offer you much, does it :?
But, really, what are you offering
life?
You are no bigger than the man
you consent to quarrel with.
There is no such thing as con-
firmed bachelor, but no girl has any
business marrying one who thinks he
is.
Sailing the sea of matrimony might
not be so difficult if you weren't al
ways running into the derelicts.
Il
1t is better to have merely loved
and lost than to have loved and lost
and then have to pay alimony
You cannot wrong a man who IS
right.
Dead men make no sales.
The wish that is merely father to
the thot is a poor kind of parent, but
the wish that is father to the act takes
home the bacon.
When a woman says of another's
baby, "What an interesting child!'
she means to convey to the mother
that the infant is homely and the
mother knows that's what she means
to convey.
The easiest marks never seem to
know it.

The gypsum fertilizer experiment
which State Chemist Geo. A. Olson
has for three years been running on
the alfalfa farm of H. H. Curtis who
lives near here, has this hay harvest
Melted in two years 5 and three
fourths tons of alfalfa per acre above
the alfalfa yield of unfertilized land.
In 1917 the gypsum was applied to
the soil at the rate of 200 pounds
per acre at a cost of one dollar per
acre. The alfalfa increase, due to the
use of gypsum, at $40 a ton is worth
SIG per acre.
