ost treatment when we deai Win 49,
uoss establishments in our own com
nunity. rather than go TO 'he la -
cities to trade, or send 10 Tue e''
loeue house because we thlnh we o"'
save a dollar. This has been aeiiion
strated especially during the wa
.;oa .nd also in the decline OF
nrices. The Nez Perez Herald sizes
it up this way
In some of the large city papers we
note sensational reductions in the re-
tail prices of dry goods, clothing anu
other articles of daily use. This would
indicate that some people nave peeh
doing some high profiteering in the
past, but are forced to get down 10
earth again in order to break the buy
ing strike that has played havoc with
the big city retail business. You do
not hear of these stupendous drops in
the country stores, and for the best
of all reasons. The average country
merchant did not resort to the con-
were practical in some of the larger
cities. He raised his own prices as
wholesale prices were increased, and
this he was compelled to do in order
to continue business Since the
downward trend commenced he has
been reducing his prices as rapidly
as wholesale rates declined, and he
will continue to do so as long as there
is a falling market. When you COM
pare the reductions in the country
towns to those in the larger cities
just consider both sides of the ques-
ton. You may discover that your
home merchant has been fairer to you
right along than any one else

If the attorneys for the prosecution
know what they are talking about /
FATTY" Arbuckle had close call in
his second trial, when, according to
the prosecutor, 10 of the jurors were
in favor of conviction and two were in
favor of letting the fat moral leper go
free. 1t is to be hoped that the case
can be tried again and that Arbuckle
will be convicted of the charge OF
manslaughter People of his class,
with money coming easy, are losing
all sense of responsibility, moral or
otherwise Too many of them have
reached a point where they have no
regard for decency and believe that
their money will make them immune
to prosecution for anything that
they may do. 1t is improbable that
Arbuckle had any idea of killing Miss
Rape, but it is mighty probable,
from the evidence and from the
stories which first reached the pub
lie, before there had been been any
to tone them down for
Arbuckles protection, that his acts
were responsible for her death. 1t
will be good for the morals OF the
and good for the moving pic
ture industry, to eliminate people OF
he Arbuckle stamp.
