TOLD THEM
"WHEN" IN NO UN-
CERTAIN LANGU AGE

Lake City, Minn., June 14.-Every-
body seems to be picking on the re-
taller. The farmer says the mer-
chant is to blame for high prices.
Many wholesalers hint as much. The
same thing is said openly by Govern
ment officials, and the buying public
is repeatedly told that they won't
get relief until the retailer is made
to lower the, price of the goods ne
has for sale.
A. T. Abraham, shoe retailer here,
got tired of hearing the retailer
"bawled out" and blamed for exist
ing conditions. One day he woke
the CITIZENS of Lake City up with an
advertising broadside that became the
talk of the town and redounded to
his material advantage. 1t was rath-
er, shock, but it made folks stop
and think about the charges being
made so freely against the retailer.
In the four-column advertisement
in blackface type, the Abraham store
said:
'The woods are full of amateur
economists, who claim that prices Of
clothing, underwear, hosiery, shirts,
sweaters, overalls and shoes will soon
return to pre-war levels.
"Will they?
eyes, they sure will;
"When hard coal is back to SO a
ton.
"When railroad fares are back to
two cents mile.
"When house rent is back to $25
month.
"When gasoline is back to ten cents
gallon.
81 month.
"When square meal is back to
quarter.
"When labor is back to $500 day.
"When gas is back to nine cents.
"When shaves are back to 10 cents.
"When the freight rate from New
York, now $1.84, is back to ninety
seven cents.
"When street-car fares are back to
nickel.
"When money is back to per cent.
"When cooks are back to IS week.
"When haircuts are back to a quar-
ter.
"When movies are back to a nickel.
"When a car wash is back to a
dollar.
when ice cream is back to dime.
"When a Doctors call is back to
two bucks.
"When newspaper is back to a
penny.
"For the love of Nike" continues
the advertisement, "why expect the
retailer to go the route alone? Why
expect US and no one else to 60 back
to pre-war prices?
"Beg your pardon, we forgot the
farmer. He, too, is getting it hard.
Why pick on us?
"Aren't we all in on this PROPOSE
ton together? Haven't we got to
work it out together? Well, then,
haven't we, the retailers, gone much
faster and much farther than the
average in reducing prices and MAX
ing readjustments? Well say we
have.
"We're ahead, we and the farmer
way ahead Of the procession. Now
let the BARRIERS and the movie houses
and the Standard Oil and the soft
drink parlors and the landlords and
the hotels and restaurants and the
draymen and the bankers cut their
prices and catch up with us.
"It's time for US to pick on some
body.
"We've been the goat long enough"

SCOUTS STAR IN PENRoD.

Over near the river in New York city three small boys, by name, Will liam Blair. Richard Ross and John Call lived and played and got into mis- chief with the rest of the gang" One day they heard of the scouts and de- cided they wanted to see what scout ing was like Accordingly they pre- scented themselves at Kennedy house and demanded to know all about It. The result was they joined the boy scout family of Kennedy house and began to do all the interesting things scouts do and to understand what scouting stands for in health, happi- ness and outdoor life, as well as for comradeship and clean living. The three are today good scouts, In every sense of the word and are also known to every film lover for all three are playing in Booth Tarkington's famous
 boy play "Penrod." Young Ross is Penrod himself, Blair is "Georgie Bas- sett" and John Call is "Sam Williams"

THAT SOMETHING.

What is it that makes Troop?
 TT IS THAT SOMETHING
 What is it that makes the Troop boom, what causes the wonderful attendance at each meeting?
 Why does the Troop make such wonderful progress?
 TT IS THAT SOMETHING
 You can have the best cannon in the world. and thousands of pounds of shells. but the metal and powder Is absolutely useless unless you have flame to touch off the fuse. TT IS THE FLAME THAT DOES THE WORK!
 You can have the best bunch of boys in the city. the best scoutmaster, the best meeting place and the most money in the treasury-but all this amounts to nothing unless you have the flame to set the things going, and the flame which will start the Scout Trop going is
 THAT SOMETHING.
 No, it is not pep alone; nor is 1t loyalty alone that makes the good troop. It is not cooperation or team work alone- nor Is it obedience alone. But the flame which will set the scout troop off-which will make it hum right along-is all of the above qualities rolled together and called
 THE TROOP SPIRIT. From Service, Philadelphia scout magazine.

MEXICO MUST SIGN
 TREATY WITH J. s.
HARDING ADMINISTRATION NOT
 SATISFIED WITH OBREGON'S MERE STATEMENT.
NO CAUSE FOR SUSPICION
Secretary Hughes Is Convinced That That American Rights Can Only Be Safeguarded By Treaty-Not To
 Confiscate American Property.
Washingto

Washington. The Harding ad- ministration. it has been learned, in- tends to stand pat on it's requirement. as a condition precedent to recognf-, ton, that the Obregon government give signed guarantees that it will confiscate no American properties in Mexico.
 This disclosure was made officially in connection with comment on Pres- ident Obregon's signed article pub- lished recently, in which it was said that Mexico does not intend and ney- CT has intended to confiscate Ameri- can oil, mining and other properties under Article 27 of the Carranza con- titution, nationalizing natural re- sources
 Every private right acquired prior to May l, 1917, when the new consti- tuition was adopted, will be respected and fully protected" said the Obre- gon statement. 'The famous 4srr1cIe 27, one clause of which declares the nations ownership of subsoil rights in petroleum, will never be given re- troactive effect, nor has it ever been given retroactive effect"
 There has been delay, Obregon ad- mits, in enacting law carrying out the article in the spirit indicated, but this delay has been due to the absorp- tion of the Mexican Congress in con- tructive domestic legislation, and furnished no just ground for the sus- picion that confscation is contem- plated.
 When it (Congress) acts on Arti- cle 27," said Obregon, ''as it will shortly, the world may rest assured that private property rights will be respected in accordance with the es- tablished principles Of civilized na- tions. Until that time we feel that foreign capital should rest content with an administrative policy that is safeguarding every property right and is earnestly seeking to meet ev- cry property right and is earnestly seeking to meet every just obliga- tion'
 Obregon further said that mot only have we made repeated and official declarations that Article 27 would not be given retroactive effect, but we have forbidden any action whatsoever that might give any such appear ance."
 These assurances are welcome to the Harding administration which cannot understand, however, why Obregon, if sincere in uttering them in the newspapers, is unwilling to write them into treaty or other for mad understanding with the United States. Until this. is done the admin istration is unwilling to accept the assurances that American property rights will be respected or to recog- nize the Obregon government

Leather Flowers.

Painted leather boutonnieres that carry the art of artificiality to the ut most limit are the latest craze of fash ion. These floral bouquets are veritable works of art, being carried out in col ored suede or leather, tinted to re- produce the color of the flowers they profess to initiate. A bunch of Nea- politan yiolets, made of fine scented Russian leather, dyed a delicate tone of pale mauve, with soft green leaves, produced veritable triumph of art, as did pink rose fashioned of crushed morocco that was destined to adorn the lapel of severely cut blue serge coat. This new fad is a very costly one, as the flowers are all hand made by clever artist, who keeps the mystery of her craft profound secret

DRIVE FOR REPRESENTATION

The fact that a large number of scout troops fail annually to re-register and consequently have to be stricken from the national records is causing the national council so much concern that they are endeavoring to inyesti- gate each case of dead or lapsed troop to see what ended it's dormant condition and what, if anything, can be done to revive it and put it in good working order again.
 In many cases the trouble has been traced to the lack of proper leadership, of laXness in handling troop business on the part of those in charge. This Is, of course, a serious injustice to the boys themselves, who are usually not only willing but anxious to 'carry on" Scout leaders everywhere are being re- minded that unless troop is regularly registered at the national council head quarters it cannot be included in the boy scout membership nor so reported to congress- This means even more to the boy according to act of con gress: No unregistered scout is enti- tied to wear the scout uniform and in- sgnia.
 The chief scout executive has this to say on the subject:
 'The fundamental objectives of scouting are character development and citizenship training. Good citizenship means law and order. That is, not only knowledge of laws, but observ- ance of laws, rules and regulations. Surely every scout leader wants to have members of his troop lawful and orderly in the matter of membership in the Roy Scouts of America.
 "Only scouts and scout officials who are duly registered in accordance with the regulations of the Boy Scouts of America, adopted pursuant to federal charter granted by congress, can law authorized to wear the uniform and official insignia.
 Scouts whose membership is al- lowed to lapse violate the regulations and therefore are not lawful and or derly.
 "This is an important matter. Act promptly!"
 It is to be hoped that every person interested in scouting will concern him. self with the question involved and see to it that no scout troop is allowed to lapse for want of adult leadership and action in behalf of the boy and com munity who both need scouting.

CUSTOMS FIFTY YEARS AGO

Who among us would say to-day, q never use Dentifrice, 1 never have top
 Yet Fifty years ago, odd as it may seem not one person in 1000 used Dentifrice- or even a tooth brush.
 So to-day, after more than 30 years of persistent publicity of Aliens Foot=Ease the Antiseptic Powder for the Feet, not many well-tnrned-out people care to con fess, You know l never have to use a Powder for the Feet!"
 More than One Million five hundred thousand pounds of Powder for the Feet were used by our Army and Navy during the war.
 The reason is this: Incasing and confning the feet in Leather or Canvas Shoes is bound to create friction, moH or less. Aliens Foot=Ease removes the friction from the shoes, and freshens the feet. It IS this friction which causes smarting, cal louses, corns and bunions. You know what friction does to your motor-car axle. Why not remove it from your footwear by Shak- ing into your Shoes today, Aliens Foot Ease, the cleanly, wholesome, healing, An tiseptic powder? Get the habit, as millions now have it.
