PRICE ERRORS IN ADVERTISING

Sometimes typographical errors
occur in price figures in merchants
advertisements and there are people
who will press the store to sell for
the errorful price if it is low, and
even threaten the proprietor on the
ground that he has contracted with
the trade to sell the article at the
price quoted in the ad.
Edmund L. Craig, a new York law
yer, has looked up this matter and in
a letter to The Flower Grower, of Uti-
ca, he says this on ''The Legal Phase
of the Price Errors in Advertising:
II have recently gone into this
question for client. The general
rule is stated in recently published
law book as follows:
Business advertisements published
In newspapers or circulars sent out
by mail or distributed by hand, sta
ting that the advertiser has a certain
quantity or quality OF goods which
he wants to dispose of at certain
prices, are not offers which become
contracts as soon as any person to
whose notice they, may come signi-
fies his acceptance by notifying the
other that he will take a certain
quantity Of them; they are simply
invitations TO all persons who may
read that the advertiser is ready TO
receive offers for the goods at the
price stated"
THE order of the prospective buy
er does not ripen into a contract OF
sale until the sellers acceptance, and
then only as to goods specifically or
dered. This was decided by the SUI
preme court of Massachusetts in the
case Of Montgomery, Ward & Co. VS.
Johnson, 2Os Mass SO. where the
cases are collected.
"The above statement OF the law
applies where there was no mistake
In the case Of a mistake in the ad.
vertisement. another rule might be
invoked, that the minds of the par.
ties had never met which is neces-
sary to binding contract"

MAN AND HIS SHOES

How much a man is like his shoesl
For instance, both soul may lose;
Both have been tanned; both are
made tight
By cobblers; both get left and right,
Both need a mate to be complete,
They both need healing; oft are sold,
And both in time will turn to mold.
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be last, and when
The shoes wear out they're mended
new;
When men wear out they're men
dead, tool
They both are tread upon, and both
Will tread on others; nothing loath-
Both have their ties, and both in
cline
When polished in the world to shine;
And both peg out, now would you
choose
To be a man or be his shoes?

RED BLOOD OF BUSINESS

Newspaper advertising is the red
blood of business. 1t is the power
that put the merchants goods into
the homes of the people. 1t is ne.
cessity in modern business methods
1t revives the sluggish business and
puts new life into the atmosphere. 1t
goes into the homes of the people
you want to reach-your home peo-
pie, people who know you and who
know, when they read your advertise
ment in their home paper, that you
are talking facts.-Fourth Estate.

MIR. Crosby Comments on Cutting of Vast
Number of Christmas Trees from
Vermont Hillsides.
Editor of The Reformer

Editor of The Reformer -
Upon a recent trip through Vermont
/ noticed at every station on the Central
Vermont railroad north of White River
Junction a large number of young
thrifty spruce trees. cut and bound for
shipment to the cities. which l suppose
are intended for Christmas celebrations.
These trees We're from 10 to IL years old
and selected because they We're thrifty.
These We're cut from the hills and noun
tains of Vermont | wondered if it was
good policy for the state to allow the
wholesale destruction of these young
trees. There were thousands of these
trees at every station between Sharon
and Montpelier Junction, awaiting cars
for shipment. The same thing is in evil
dence on some portions of the Rutland
and Boston & Maine railroad lines.
Vermont, as we all know, is a very
rugged state, with its mountain ranges
traversing the state from south to north.
1t may be that it is the mission of YER
mont to raise these trees for the benefit
of mankind in the cities where children
seldom see evergreen trees. This being
the case / wonder if the farmers and
jewellers in these mountain towns are
getting reasonable pay for their time and
trouble. IL certainly looks to me that if
the price reported paid for these trees
is true il leaves nothing for the tree on
the stump and very small pay for the
time of the cutters and packers No
doubt it brings in to the small farmers
certain amount of ready cash. but
what about the future of their lumber
lots?
l must admit that the small farmers
in Vermont have a hard time. They
have only a small amount of tillage land,
pastures that are growing up to brush,
! and woodlands that have had all the best
timber cut off therefore the temptation
to realize at once on the young growth
, is great.
In looking over the average farms in
our own county / can see why our state
| stands still in population. Many farms,
| or what were considered good farms some
years ago. are abandoned and the young
| people are gone. 1t may be that many
of these farms win soon raise spruce
! trees enough TO overcome the annual
slaughter of millions Of trees from 10 to
! II years of age. It's well-known fact
! the large amount of spruce used for pa
| per every year. experts say much faster
| than it is growing. Paper. seems to be
a necessity and until other substance
/ can be found for the manufacture of pa
per. spruce will be used. This being the
| case isn't it policy to leave the young
| thrifty trees standing until they become

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. 2S-With
the threads of the domestic affairs of Pro
fesSor and Mrs. John Z. Herman becom-
ing more tangled by many new develop
ments since the start of the Herman
Poulin paternity case. the next move of
the principals toward a restoration of
harmony in the household was being
watched with interest today
Despite the fact that Professor Tier
nan announced last night that the recon-
citation with his first wife was moving
along satisfactorily, dispatch from
Marshalltown, Ia, quoted Mrs. Blanche
BrImmer Herman, the professors bride
OF day.. as saying that she was the
latter's wife and was going 10 live with
him. She said she expected Herman to
arrive at Iowa City Wednesday

OLD RULE A BAD ONE.
Secretary Black Writes in Regard to
Registration Plates.
Editor of The Reformer -

Editor OF The Reformer -
] notice in your issue of Nov. % a
slight criticism of my ruling as to issu-
ance of registration plates for 1928, and
would appreciate 1t if you would publish
this my answer thereto.
You may be assured that ii is not at
all 10 my liking TO be obliged to disap-
point or displease anyone by the ruling
made, but the fact is that the old rule
of bestowing special favors by reserving
plates for those who were fortunate
enough to have the ready money by GER
tain date was always a bad rule and
ought to have been abandoned long ago
1t is always highly proper to change 4
bad rule.
To rehearse all of the excellent rea-
sons for changing the rule would require
altogether too much space. so l viii not
undertake 1t. 1t is enough to say that
our registration system was thrown into
confusion for a period of more than five
months each year in order to please per-
haps Il thousand individuals People
ought to remember that conditions have
changed from those of yesterday when
the bad rule was established and that
with the number of motor vehicles in
this state approaching $4,000 and more
than 10000 operators, all unnecessary
red tape must be cut if we are to give the
motor owner and operators the needful
service which they demand and to which
they are entitled. We ask folks to help,
not hinder.
As to the suggestion that a small fee
for extra labor be charged, let me say
that to charge a fee not provided for by
law would be illegal and very reprehen-
sible. The fees are fixed by law and |
have no right TO add to or take from.
With thanks for your anticipated
Kindness and cooperation, / remain
Yours respectfully,

LONDON, Nov. .. (Associated
Press. There is the strongest posi-
bility that Great Britain viii break off
diplomatic relations with Greece if the
death sentences imposed on former
Grek cabinet officers are carried out, It
was stated in official circles today.
The precedent of such action by the
British, it was suggested. would prob
ably be the break in diplomatic rela-
tons with Serbia in 1903, as a result
of the murder of the Serbian majesties
by revolutionaries.
1t was pointed out. however, that the
sentences given the former Greek min
listers have not yet been carried out. and
that there was still hope that the Greeks
would not take such extreme action.

TIMELY. VIEWS ON WORLD TOPICS
American Merchant Marine Must Have Aid to Survive,' Warns

~UnIess substantial aid by subven- tion or otherwise is given to Ameri- can shipping, our ships will be swept from the sea and the imm ense fleet we constructed during and after the Word War might just as we'll be scrapped with our battleshfp pro- gram of 1916. and our competitors placed in undisputed possession of our foreign commerce."
 This is the declaration of George E. Chamberlain member of the Uni ted States Shipping Board and for ner senator from Oregon, made in an address before the convention of the National Merchant Marine Asso- citation.
 The proposition" he continued in concluding a thorough discussion of Americas merchant marine position, resolves itself to a very simple one, and that is:

  judged by the past
 Where government aid has here tofore been giyen,'' he said, 'or prop CT restrictions placed updn the car riage of our commerce in foreign bot toms, it has resulted in the upbufld ing of an American merchant fleet. but where that aid has not been giv- en or where restrictions have been removed, foreign ships have outstrp- ped us in the worlds business.
 There are many reasons for this, but the essential ones are the high cost of ship construction, due to higher wages paid to American la borers in American shdpyards, the higher cost of operation of American ships due to higher wages of Amer ican seanen, and better equipment for health and safety at sea
 't1r these standards are to be main tained, either aid must be given to American shipping or the differen- tial now existing in favor of foreign ships will place our people and our ships at a great and insuperable dis advantage in the commerce of the world.
 About this there can be no ofres- ton in the mind of any one who will give the subject that careful st1dy which is essential to a complete uf- derstanding of the situation.''
