 Ed Clark, commissary chief of the Flagstaff Lumber Co.,, has the follow ing set of general rules hanging near his desk where he can easily consult them from time to time and keep fresh on the ethics of retail merchan- dizing. They're equally good for all of us, to remind us that once in a while we may be little unreasonable in what we expect from the merchant. Here they are:
 Look over our shelves and be sure to ask for something you're sure we haven't got.
 Always argue about the price and don't fail to tell us that you can get something just as good at some other store for less money Remarks like that tend to keep us happy. If we are waiting on another cus- toner, don't let us stop you from edgeing in and insisting that we serve you first, because you run big &C., count with us. It's only slightly em- barrasing, but we can stand 1t. If you buy can of lima beans and after you open it you decide you'd rather have peas, feel free to send them back. An opened can is easy to sell, and, of course there's always the chance that if we get stuck with it the jobber will credit us with the price.
 Selling inferior goods at highway robbery prices is the way we built up our business. We believe that doing customer is one of the fundamental principles of good business. Let your bills run as long as pos sible. It doesn't take any money to run our business. And besides if we had it in the bank we'd probably spend it for some foolish thing.
 If you want something for supper, telephone us just at closing time. We'll be tickeled silly to deliver it. We may be hungry ourselves, but don't let that trouble you. Our stomachs would get big surprise if we ate when we plan ed to.
 Whenever you have large check to be cashed, bring it to us. We all ways had a liking for the banking business. That's why we're grocers.
 If you have any kick at all, tell us about it as loudly as you can, espec- ially if the store is crowded. We are strong believers in advertising.
 In fact, if there is anything wrong, all the way from a broken cracker in a sealed package to the color of our eyes, be sure to blame us. It shows you take an interest in the store. And besides, you see, we believe the GUS toner is always right,--but seriously we want and expect to give you satis- factory service.-Kindly think this over. =.

More recently, his brother fell in, but without the forethought to put on rubber boots, the result being that half way down he turned bottom up- ward, landing on his head. He never looked quite the same afterward.
 "Oh, please wait minute," she begged him. "Please wait until I get my note book so that l can write down what you are telling me-"

 So when the attorney stood him up at the bar before the country justice of the peace, the young prosecutor painted the prisoner in such colors that his own mother would never have recognized him at five paces. In the very height of his eloquence, the prosecutor pointed long finger at the trembling man and shouted:

for being here are simply these:

by the bolshevilli, l went to war for
Poland, together with thousands of
other Poles from the Wilma district.
For two years we fought the bolshe-

treaty created a stir throughout Po-
land which considers the Wilma district,
about the size of the state of New
Jersey, part Of ethonographical Po-
land.
The Poles point out to back this
claim that Kosciuszko, the Polish pa
triot and friend of America in revolu-
tionary days, was born near Wilma, and
that Joseph Pilsudski, the present Po-
lish chief of state, and Prince Sapieha,
minister of foreign affairs, and vari-

the Poles that the majority of the
population throughout Central Lithu-

General ZeligowslIi is of the opinion
that the majority of the population
favors annexation to Poland but he is
perfectly willing that the question to
determine whether wilma should become
Polish or Lithuanian may be decided
by plebiscite.
But General Zeligowski, who in ap.
pearance somewhat resembles pictures
of the late General U. S. Grant, has
little faith in the efforts put forth

affair

HUGHES THAWS OUT.

Washington, April 30.-Beyond
question one of the members of the
Cabinet most talked about at Wash
ington is Charles E. HuhgeS, Secre-
tary of State. In fact, there is a
distinct Hughes wave, and remote
indeed from the centers of power
and of gossip is the place in official
or social Washington that has not
felt the influence of this wave.
1t is the story of two Hughes
how one has supplanted the other in
the popular mind.
The Hughes personality, as ii
stands out today, took official Wash
ington completely by surprise. The
unfailing smile, the hearty hand
shake, frankly caused establishment.

While Farm Protected
II. s. Market Is Saved"
CHAIRMAN FORDNEY OF WAYS AND
MEANS COMMITTEE EXPLAINS
ANTl-DUMPlNG CLAUSE

Washington, April 30.-That the
anti-dumPing clause in the emer-
gency tariff bill, which has passed
the House and is before the Sem
ate, will save the country from an
i~nundation of foreign goods made
by cheaper labor is ~contended by
Chairman Fordney, of the House
Ways and Means committee. He
says:
The principle underlying the ad-
opted measure of additional duty to
be added in prevention of dumping,
particularly where the tariff valua-
tions are upon foreign market values,
is to add such an amount of duty
as will equalize sales at less than
the foreign home market value Of
foreign export value or cost of pro-
duction with profit added, whichever
may be the highest, thereby making
it improbable to dump goods on the
market Of the United States at less
prices. If the seller of the goods
is compelled to add as duty the diff
ference between the sales price and
what he would receive by selling
in the otherwise highest obtainable
market, all reward or inducement to
dumping is removed.
Several countries of the world in
the presence Of the experience now
being undergone by this country have
enacted such legislation. 1t protects
our industries and labor against a
now common species Of commercial
warfare Of dumping goods on our
markets at less than cost or home
value, if necessary, until our markets
are destroyed, whereupon the dump
ing ceases and prices are raised at
above former levels to recoup dump
ing losses. BY this process, while
temporarily cheaper prices are had,
our industries are being destroyed,
after which we more than repay in
higher prices. Moreover, the proyi-
sions as drafted will compel payment
when the export price is less than
the home-market sale price as now
exists in many lines of industry Of
a corresponding equalizing duty.
This bill contains the additional
and necessary safeguard that where
the goods are consigned and not sold
or agreed to be sold until after they
pass out of customs custody, bond
to pay any additional antidumping
duty herein provided and subse-
quently determined shall be given"

meeting of his creditors all but one
agreed to accept his four-months'
note for ten cents on the dollar. The
debtor took this man aside and by
promising to make him a preferred
creditor he won him over.
