MISSOURI MAY BE MADE
A TIMBER RESERVATION
BY u. s. GOVERNMENT

The United States government may
make a timber reservation in Missouri
according to C. r. Tillotson of the
Federal Forestry Service of Washing
ton.
Mr.. Tillitson says that the SchneIl
and Capper Bills which are now be-
fore Congress provide for the regula-
tion of timber cutting operations and
fire protection and also the buying up
of timber lands by the government.
He is one of the several inspectors
who are visiting the timber lands Of
the country to determine what regula-
lions are practical and should be m
bodied in the bills.
Missouri is an important timber
state, according to Mr.. Tillotson, as
her output Of 100000 railroad ties
a year is about one-tenth that of the
whole country.
The bills will lend assistance in the
way of funds to the states for the
regulation of timber cutting.

PLANS TO SECURE
WAGE CUTS TO
Be CONTINUED

CHICAGO, H., October 29.-Rail-
road heads declared Friday night that
the nations carriers will go right ahead
with their plans to seek new wage
cuts through the Railroad Labor
Board hearings. This action is being
taken despite the fact that the unions
have announced that the action calling
off the strike was influenced by the
boards announcement that pay reduc-
ton petitions for any class would not
be considered until working conditions
for that class had been settled.
Samuel FELTON,, president of the
Chicago Great Western and chairman
of the Association of Railroad execu-
tives said The calling off of the strike
will have no effect on the plans an
nounced by the carriers October IA to
seek immediate wage reductions 81

THE LEDGE R'S

WE had a talk with a friend the

WE had a talk with a friend the
other day. He had ordered something
away from Mexico and received it by
mail. He stated that he could not
secure IN article just as good in Mex
leo for the price. While we believe we
are IS busy as anyone in Mexico We
took the time and investigated. We
found evidence, we believe, to prove
his statement a mistake. We found
an article that we thought was better
and also it had the local merchants
guarantee back of it. We believe if
those who feel the way our friend does
would investigate they would discover
that the difference in price is really
in quality an dthat for the same money
a better article can be bought here.
uying at home has the advantage of
dealer confidence. If you trade with a
man and you know he is honest-that
is the kind of a mar you want to trade
with and no other-you can depend
upon his statement of values. 1t is
a satisfaction to buy on this basis.
You can depend upon getting just
what you expect. The majority of
consumers do not possess a full
enough knowledge of all articles they
buy to purchase wisely unless they
have the judgment of an honest mer-
chant who can and will give them
what he says. In merchandising you
pay for what you get. If you pay less
for an article you canlo expect as
good a value as if you ray more. We
acknowledge there are p%rohteers in the
world, but we do contend that Mexico
merchants are giving be ter values for
less money than in most cities any
where and if you will investigate you
will find that the che1p article you buy
elsewhere can be duplicated here for
the same or less money. If you doubt
this try it once. That isthe way to
be convinced.
