GETTING UNDER THE HIDE
OF THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE

Your average mail order house has
a lot of tricks up its sleeve when it
comes to breaking down the busine IS
of merchants in ten thousand American
towns, and it doesn't hesitate to play
every one of them, says the Algoma
Record Herald.
But it shrieks blue murder when
some of those merchants get together
and turn a trick of their own. AS for
instance, the whine that has just been
made by one of the biggest mail order
houses to the federal trade commission
against the Chamber of Commerce OF
Missoula, Mont.
Catalogues are the main stock in
trade of mail order concerns. 1t seems
the Missoula chamber offered one free
admission to a movie picture theatre
for every catalogue turned in at the
window. Great numbers of people
thought so little of these catalogues
that they were glad to hand them over

THE THINGS TOM WATSON KNOWS
THAT "AINT SO"

Senator Tom Watson of Georgia,
well illustrates the theory of Artemas
Ward that it is better not to know so
much, than to know so much that Amt
so. p"
His charge that twenty one American
soldiers in the World war were hanged
without trial by the military authorities
is on It's face SO preposterous that no
one not exceedingly ignorant and credu-
lous would believe it for a moment.
The information of such a violation of
the articles Of war; by officers Of the
American army, could not have been SO
long withheld from the American people.
IL is a significant fact that while the
charge Of Senator Watson, il true.
would reflect seriously upon a Demo
cratic rather than a Republican admin
istration. il was the Democratic mem
bers Of the Senate who opposed an in
vestigatioa Of these specific charges
and saw to il that the committee Of in
vesHgation was given a rowing commits
saon to look into sll matters of discipline
IL the American expeditionary forces.
1t was important to determine the
real basis for the charge of Senator
Tom Watson, supported only by clamor-
GUS vocsll2stion. II the charges were
true the officers committing the alleged
crimes are unfit to live. II the charges
are not true any man who would get
sp in the Senate and give them publici-
ty without better basis than idle gos-
sip, ought to be bounced out Of Con-
grees.

TEACHING CHILDREN TO SAVE.

What better incentive can be given a
child to learn the advantages of Thrift
than for the father or mother TO start
an account for the youngster in the
Postal Sayings When the deposits to
the child's credit have reached the sum
of $40, the money can be made to earn
more interest by investing this amount,
with few extra nickles added, in one
of the new SIS Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates bearing the portrait of Theodore
Roosevelt, which will be issued by the
Treasury Department toward the end
of the year.
America will no longer be considered
Nation of spendthrifts if parents of
today use the necessary precaution to
see that their children the citizens of
tomorrow are not allowed to grow
wasteful and extravagent. Teach them
the many advantages of thrift in their
young and tender years. 1t will grow
to be the best habit they have when
life's responsibilities come.
Thrift will teach them the value of
every penny; the wonderful growing
power of money. 1t will teach your
child self-relance and bring self-re-
spect. Ii you start a Postal Savings
account today or invest in S25 or 500
Treasury Savings Certificate, which
yield interest at per cent quarterly,
if held until maturity, will teach the
child to assume bis responsibility Of
citizenship by helping to finance his

That small start may be the first
rung in the ladder Of success in your

daughter an understanding of money
values that will make her an economi-
cal housewife some day and a blessing

FARMERS CAN PEDDLE
State Treasury Agent,

State Treasury Agent,
Madison, Wisconsin.
To the Editor:
Many inquiries by mail and otherwise
are being received almost daily at this
Office, asking whether farmers are re-
quired to have license to sell meat
etc.
Farmers who raise their own beef,
or any other products can peddle or
deliver it. either in wholesale or retail
quantities without license. But if
the beef or product is purchased of
ether parties and delivered. a license
will be required If farmers, who now
receive about two cents a pound net
after transportation charges have been
paid for cattle, can dress and deliver in
the cities and villages it may bring
down the price the consumers are com
PEELED to pay at the retail market
In connection with this, it might be
interesting to know how peddler has
been defined by the Supreme Court:
"A peddler is one Who sells at retail
from place to place, going from house
to house, carrying the goods to be Of
fered for sale with him.

Stories of

JIM BECKWORTH, MULATTO
WHO BECAME CROW CHIEF
tern Newspaper Union. }

Jim BeckwOurth, without doubt, was
the mOst-married man in history. Just
how many wives he had is unknown.
In his autobiography Jim mentions at
least seven spOuses, but his reputation
for truth was not the best. Beck
wourth was the son of a Maryland
lriShman and negreSS, and he was
born in 1893 When he left st. Louis
with General Ashley's fur-trading ex-
petition in 1923 he had a sweetheart
named Eliza, to whom he pledged
eternal devotion.
Among the Blackfeet Indians he won
his first wife, marrying her because
it would help his trade among her
tribesmeni Soon Afterwards he mar
ried her sister, too. Later be left the
Blackfeet, to trade with the Crows,
and he acquired several more wives.
Jim was man Of great strength,
and remarkable runner. One day
he was attacked by war party who
pursued him for 90 miles before he
finally Outran them. At another time
when a force of $500 Ariharas and
Sioux attacked the Cows, the mu-
lattO led the AbsarOkes CrOWs) so
brayely that 253 of the enemy were
killed. Beckwourth had three horses
shot under him in this fight and killed
IA of the Sioux. He was adopted by
the Crows, and because of his deeds in
war, he rose to the position of first
counselor, the highest honor in the
tribe.
AT the outbreak of |he Mexican war
he enlisted as a scONt and dispatch
bearer for Gen. Phil Kearney. He
| also carried dispatches to California
and he was there in tS4S, when gold
was discovered He micted for a while

He settled in Denver and married

The Crows heard of lis return from
| California and sent messengers to him,
| begging him to return to them. Mis-
| fortune had come to the tribe, and
they needed his "strOng riedicine."
Beckwourth paid no heed to their
pleadings Until 1869, when he finally
visited them. But he refused to live
with them permanently, When he
announced his intention of returning
to Colorado, they prepared a great
farewell feast in his honor. Beck
wourth ate their food and dropped
dead. The Crows had given him poi.

cine would pass into his spirit, and
that wherever his bones rested the

Sportsmen for Public Shooting Grounds

ENATE bill 1852, introduced by
y Senator Harry S. New of Indiana,
and house bill 1923, introduced by
Congressman Dan r. Anthony, .Jr., Of
Kansas, are commonly known as the
Public Shooting Ground-Game Refuge
bill.
I This measure provides that every
gunner who hunts migratory birds shall
first take out federal hunting license
costing 81 per year. Every cent of the
money received from the sale Of such
licenses is to go into special fund
known as the Migratory Bird Protec-
ton Fund" Forty-five per cent Is to
be expended for the purchase of suit
able areas for use as public shooting
grounds and migratory bird refugees.
Forty-five per cent Is to be used for
protecting and caring for the birds.
This leaves balance of 10 per cent to
be used for any other expenses neces-
sary to give effect to the provisions of
the act.
Sportsmen claim that this bill has
great merit. They hold that when
this bill is enacted into law, wld-fowl
shooting will be perpetuated for all
time to come. Breeding, feeding and
resting places for our migratory birds
are necessary. No matter In what

The President does not believe that
he, as the President of the United
States, should push himself into the
conclave further. He will, of course,
in his capacity as President of the
nation which invited the conference,
address the delegates when they con-
vene here November II, but after that
his relation with it will be an advis-
DRY one.
The Presidents invitation to the
powers points out the futility of look
ing for stability or the assurance Of
social justice, or the security of peace
while wasteful and unproductive out
lays deprive effort of its just reward
and defeat the reasonable expectation
of progress" The invitation also
says:
at may also be found advisable to
formulate proposals by which in the
interest of humanity the use of new
agencies of warfare may be suitably
controlled.
Although none Of the new agencies of
warfare are mentioned in the invita-
ton, 1t refers, of course, to the ad-
visibility Of the nations Of the world
reaching an agreement to control the
use of poison gases and other brutal
agencies developed in the great war.
1t may also mean submarines.

Effects of the New Curtis-Nelson Act

amends the farm loan act by increas-
ing the depository privileges of the
federal land banks with the treasury
from $6,OOO,000 to $31 100000. Without
such privileges the system would have
found itself within the last month
without any available loanable funds
for the reason that experienced bond
statesmen advised the federal authori-
ties Of the unwisdom Of attempting an
other sale Of the farm-loan bonds so
shortly after the close of the previous
offering.
The Curtis-Nelson act makes GER
tain, so long as bonds can be sold, the
continuous, uninterrupted leaning OPP
eratiOns of the federal farm loan sys-
TEN. 1t is estimated that there Is a
demand In this country for such a
character Of investment as our farm
loan bonds to the extent of S20O.0 OO,-
900 year. The machinery Of the farm
loan system, operating normally, is
capable of putting this amount of
money annually into the hands Of the
farm borrowers.
Assuming that these facts are war
ranted, the conclusion follows that the
enactment Of this legislation shall re-
suit In the liquidation of about 81 ,0OO,-
100000 Of debts annually.

HOW KIT CARSON FOUGHT A

of them We're gathered there. One was
Captain Shunar, "A French bully, who
had aroused the anger of several of the
American trappers by his offensive
manner toward young Arapaho girl
in a camp nearby. The girl feared
the Frenchman and appealed for pro-
lection to a young trapper named Kit
Carson.
Learning of this Shunar, In an effort
to bring about a quarrel with Carson,
rode about the camp one day carrying
o loaded rifle and declaring that all
Americans were towards, deserving
only a whipping with II hickory switch.
AT last Carson faced the Frenchman.
81 am an American, and if you are
determined to die, l am your man,"
he said. The Frenchman hesitated
at this defiance.
Leaping to his horse, his pistol in
hand, Carson demanded of Shunar
Am l the man you are looking for?"
mo- replied Shunar, but he raised
his arm to shoot.
The two men fired at the same time.
The Frenchman's bullet grazed Car
sons scalp, and the powder burned his
face. The Americans shot shattered
Shunar's, forearm and he died from
the effects of the wound soon after
