MAIL ORDER CATALOGUES.

l Did you get one? If you didn't you probably will.
 l This is the season for new mail or der catalogues. The postoffice has |heen overloaded with them for some lime. It would seem, from the num- |ber that have arrived, that most ev-
 ery body in this territory must have |sotten one, and they are still com |pg. The post office force is worked distributing them and the
 mral carriers are loaded down with |them.
 This is pretty good proff that a lot of people in this community buy l |at least something each year from |these mail order houses. If they did hot they wouldn't get the catalogues. These houses don't keep a lot of "dead heads" on their mailing lists-in other words they don't send catalogues to people, year after year, without or |ders from them. If they get no or |ders from you they cut you off their <<iist fist of Hive ones." You can't say
 3They send me catalogue year after
 year but I never buy anything from |them."
 These mail order houses don't pay |a dime of your local or state taxes; neither do they help our churches or
 schools in any way, nor any of our charitable institutions. And did you
 lever ask them for credit? Try 1t
 once and see what the result will be. Dust send them an order, saying to
 Ncharge it" and that you will pay your |bll the first of next month, or at |Nme time in the future, when you happen to have the nancy. You should ! not ask your home merchants to cred |it you and then buy from mail or l der houses when you have the cash. l You don't save any money bu buy Ting from mail order houses, even Ii
 the pictures in the catalogue do look mighty good. You can buy the same
 quality of merchandise right here m
 Prescott for the same money or just a
 few dimes more. By the time you
 add the postage or express charges
 that you pay, together with the
 samps and time you use in writing
 and waiting for the articles you make
 up more than the difference.
 Very often after the articles ar
The Prescott daily news., 1920-04-03

rive that have been ordered they are not what you wanted and sometimes not what you ordered. Then there is another long wait while they are be- ing returned and exchanged.
 Just 1emember that those textra dimes you pay-if you pay them to the local merchants are spent right here, in the form of taxes, donations to charitable institutions, salaries to employees, etc. All these things help to increase the value of your property or to give it value; help to furnish employment for you and others; help to make this community a desirable place in which to live.
 If every person i nthis community should send to the mail order hause for everything they bought how long do you suppose you would want to live here? How much would your property be worth? Would we have any churches, schools, places of a. musement, or anything to make up a town or community?

Sim Feiners from the northwest were concentrating for an attack on the city and it is not improbable.
 For the first time very large bodies of lawless clements in the city possess deadly weapons and plenty of ammuni- tion; for the first time the whole city is involved, and not merely restricted area, where the factions live; for the first time the principal victims have been inofensive people, who have been shot down not for politicaf or sectarian n reasons. but in wantonness. The law less element over wide area is being drawn into the conflict, while those who hitherto have held aloof from any battles are gradually but surely com ing to the conclusion that they must take up weapons.
 "The proceedings at Derry possess every element of civil war, without any interference worthy of the name from the forces which the government is supposed to control.
 'The descent of Sim Feiners en- masse from the country side answered or preceded by a large movement in Ulster, either of which seems possible al any time, will immediately precipi- tate matters in such way that the military forces may be engulfed.

to Senator Harding asking the senator to "correct the erroneous impression which may have been created by the qualified denial of yourself and secretary that such a letter had been written by you.
 Announcement was made at Senator Hardings office in Washington on June 19 that a search of the files there failed to disclose a record of any letter to MT Walsh expressing sympathy for the inde- pendence of Ireland, and Senator Harding said he had no recollection of having written such a letter, The purported let ter had been published in the Wesemn- ster Gazette of London.
 Mir Walshs letter to Senator Harding follows:
 T enclose to you herewith a photo graph copy of your letter to me of March 20, 1920 defining your attitude on the question of the indep>ndence of Ireland. I also enclose copy of letters of date, March 26, 1920, transmitting copy of your letter to Hon. Gavan Duffy, representa- tive of the Irish Republic at Paris.
 With this information will you be good enough to correct the erroneous inn pression which may have been created by the qualified denial of yourself and secretary that such a letter had been written by you. which was given wide publicity by the Associated Press"

The national chairman did not share their views, but to promote harmony will call the campaign man agers into conference on the eve of the convention to see if a satisfactory pro gramme cannot be arranged in ad' vance.

 Officers of the recognized railroad brotherhoods also were planning to meet here Friday.
 Railroad officers said the situation in Chicago was normal At the office of the General Managers Association, which represents all railroads entering Chicago, it was said no trouble was expected as an outcome of Friday nights meeting of ''vacationists."
 Meetings of this kind have been held regularly" said S. M. Schneifer, secre- tary of the association. Apparently this is just a propaganda meeting"
 MT. Schneider said that all but small minority of the railroad workers were satisfied that the federal wage board would give them an increase in pay and were remaining at work He said such unrest as was felt could be traced to impatience at the boards delay.

to say the reason why he is funny.

that he tries 10 be serious.
The minor mishaps In life are the

OF illustration, IL we see a fat lady

that she Toes not injure herself. But
what makes II funnier by far Is for
the lady TO get excited and exas-

gets. the funnier she becomes. So
by being always in dead earnest and
trying 10 extricate himself from tho
many misfortunes which befall him
in "Ruddigore,' Mr.. Goltra succeeds
in reaching the top notch OF humor.
When Mr.. Goltra appears as the
deformed district visitor in the sec
ond act of "Ruddigore," the audi
ence laughs before he utters a word
or makes a sound. and the more they
laugh the more distressed he seems

distressed he becomes, the funnier
he Is. Mr.. Goltra will be EEL with
