A HIGHLY IMPORTANT RULING

The United States Supreme Court has
decided in the case of a hosiery concern
that any of its products advertised as
wool must really be wool. I his is a high
ly important ruling as it by very nat
/ ural law applies to all other fabrics and
all other goods. Indeed, 1t is a death
blow to false advertising. 1t is
| judgment to the effect that what man
purports TO sell, he really must sell.
| Thus, if the man is to be checked for
selling hosiery as pure wool or pure silk,
when it re lily isn't, any other man who
purports to sell suit as pure wool, or
shirt as pure silk, when it really isn't,
falls under the same ban and is subject to
prosecution. And man who undertakes
to sell any goods by misrepresentin9 their
contents or character is subject undoubt-
edly to the operation of the same law, an d
there is no doubt that hereafter dissats-
| fled purchasers will take advantage of its
/ provisions. The result will be that here
after the purchaser of any article will at
last have the satisfaction of knowing
that he is getting exactly what he paid
J for. The significance of this ruling can
hardly be overestim ated and there is no
doubt in the world that it has carried dis
may and CONSERVATION into thousands of
i factories which heretofore have been
bamboozling the public and taking profits
to which they were not entitled. When
the Supreme Court acts as 1t has acted in
this matter, there seems to be small need
of appealing to Congress for a relief
which is already afforded under the
/ courts judgment Wayne News.

ODD EXPERIENCES OF A POLITICIAN

Elmer o. Leatherwood, representative
from Utah, had an odd and amusing ex.
perience some years ago while campaign
ing in his State. He stopped It a farm
house to ascertain the prospects of getting
the votes of the husband and wife In
response to his gentle tapping at the front
door, the lady of the house made her ap-
pearance and politely invited him to have
a seat in the parlor. Leatherwood made
known his mission and expressed desire
to have chat with the husband.
"Well, now, stranger" she replied,
'I'm just so sorry as l can be that my
husband isn't home; he just left little
while ago to attend the funeral of friend
of ours"
Leatherwood was sympathy personified
when he received this information. ex
pressing keen regret, and requesting that
the husband be told of his visit and dis
appointment at not seeing him.
'Of course" suggested the lady, ''if
you don't mind walking to the far side of
that cornfield, you can find him over
there"
"Why, thought you said he had gone
to funeral" replied Leatherwood in a
bewildered tone.
$50 he has; its the funeral of our dog
Bingo. He wss a faithful animal, but

candidates along here this few weeks
back that the poor beast just wore him.

Propaganda and the Facts.

IL the money and energy and int ellec-
tual ingenuity which are now being ex-
pended in propaganda in America were
diverted to the task of restoring Europe,
little help from outside would be needed.
Apparently assumi ng that the American
people are stupid, the propagandists put
forth such general and supposedly m
pressive phrases as disastrous position
in which war and peace have placed the
world" greatest political and economical
danger and greatest suffering, and save
world civilization" The dismal picture
of European conditions is followed with
the statement that "hope now rests with
America" as though it depended upon
one nation to save a dozen other nations
that seem determined not to be saved.
The propagandist says: "as for Europe,
her recovery is impossible unless Ameri-
ca supplies the money" There is no as
surance whatever that if more money
were added to the eleven billions already
supplied to Europe any of that money
would be used for restoration of the in
dustries of peace. We hear pleas that
America must send more food to Russia
notwithstanding the fact that Russia has
greater food producing possibilities than
any other nation on the face OF the globe.
Europe continues her ornaments, her ag-
gressions, her wars, and calls upon Amer
lea to supply the food and money.
No prodiRal son was ever reformed by
supplying him with money while still
pursuing his prodigal ways. The repent
ant prodiaal, returning to useful work
and habits of thrift, has seldom failed to
receive assistance. If Europe will not
turn from her evil ways and once more
engage in useful production, no amopnt
of money supplied or promised by Amer
ica will save the civilization of that con-
tinent
The fact is that the situation in Europe
is not nearly SO bad as represented, as
proven by the rapid improvement in for
eign exchange. There is no reason why
Europe should not at once return to pro-
ductive industry if the peoples of the sew
eral nations so desire and are willing to
make the effort. So long as propaganda
lists hold out assurance that ultimately
America will supply the money there is
no prospect that Europe will turn from
its debauch. The United States can
probably do nothing better for Europe
than reassert at every opportunity its de-
termination to keep out of European at
fairs so far as governmental action is con-
cerned, but leaving individual Americans
free to enter into such commercial and
industrial relations with Europeans as
the conditions of each transaction may
justify.

Congress and the Soldiers
from Washington Postl

Pending the decision of Congress and
the President on the bonus question, it is
well to glance at the record of the gov
ernment in it's treatment of soldiers and
sailors of the late war. If it appears that
the government has been liberal and
thoughtful in its care of these men, there
will be less disposition on the part of any
one to suggest that the delay in bonus
legislation is due to disregard of right or
Justice in dealing with former service
men.
A statement compiled by the govern
ment authorities, made public few days
ago, throws much light upon the govern
ment's attitude toward its defenders. The
figures are brought up to April /, and
show that total of 81, 996, 200, ga has
been appropriated for the welfare of SOL
diers and sailors of the late war, in such
items as family allowances, insurance,
hospitals, vocational training, &c. The
appropriations for the fiscal year 1928

The average receive per month by each
man is Sll5. This includes compensation

Irish Peace Question May Be

DUBLIN, Jan. 3. - The Dali Eireann resumed sessions this after noon after the holidays with the op- pcnents and proponents of the Anglo Irish peace treaty as far apart as ever.
 Outside the Dail Eireann the pub lie sentiment is apparently over a majority in favor of ratification. One hundred and one bodies in South Ireland have gone on record as favorably to the treaty.
 It is generally believed here that the debate will be short and de- oision reached by Thursday night or Friday afternoon of this week.
 Michael Collins, after securing permission of the Dail Eireann late this afternoon, made the suggestion fer avoiding a decision over the Irish treaty and proposed, in sub stance, that the opponents allow the treaty to be approved and the Irish Free State established after which the opponents could continue the fight for a Republic.
