Got Stuck in Sno.U

County Commissioner Clithro Bar
key had quite time in the storm
Sunday. He lives near Haxtun, and
believing that the storm would be
bad. concluded to bring his children,
who attend high school, to town Sun
day morning. He got them in safely
and was on his way home. Just west
OF town he got stuck and spent sew
eral hours in the storm trying to
get his Ford sedan in a humor to &c
home. Only his gentle disposition
kept him from making the atmos
phere sufficiently blue to melt all the
snow in the vicinity.

Why Mail Order
Houses Are Success

The principal reason why mail or
der houses always succeed is because
they do great deal Of advertising in
an attractive way.
Merchants here complain of the In
roads mail order houses are making
on business in this locality. This
can be verified by the amount Of
goods shipped here. Every mail
brings packages. At times Mail Car
rier Griffith's load of mail reminds
one of Christmas time, there are so
many packages.
The mail order house pleases its
customers. 1t is said the success of
one of the largest hotels in the coun-
try was due to the managers posi-
tion that, "the customer is always
right" That is the way mail order
houses do.
We got hold of circular letter a
days ago of big mail order house,
from which the following is taken:
Dear Customer am writing to
You because you are an old customer.
want to be sure a copy OF the gold
en- jubilee catalogue reaches you, so
fill in your name and address on the
enclosed post card and return the
card to me. and your copy will be
sent at once.
..And now | want to tell you what
this big catalogue will mean to you
Il want to tell you how we have
performed our duty to our customers
how our house at least has done
everything within its power to quote
the lowest prices possible.
MANY things in this book are alb
soiutely no-proht items. Some things
are sold at less than we can replace
them for today. Everything is
priced to meet the business condi-
tions that you and l now face.
Getting things down to the lowest
possible price is our duty to our Gus.
tomers-is our duty ito you, and
want to say personally to you that
we have fulfilled our duty. and that
We have done our share.
.The card enclosed will bring you
your free copy OF our book. 1t will
save you many dollars in your needs
and your family's needs this season.
I'VE will be very glad indeed to
have you pay us visit at any Of
our plants, and IL there is any way
we can be OF service to You, please
remember that we are always glad
to hear from you, and that 1t will
always be pleasure to be OF ser-
ice to'you"
This letter is signed by the presi-
dent OF the big concern. 1t is per-
sonal appeal, and will bring results.
The only way the local merchant
can combat the mail order house is
by advertising. which must carry in
ducements TO bring customers in, and
then he must be cared for in way
that he will return.
1t is often published In trade jour-
nails that the mail order houses keep
tab on nil localities. and do their
heaviest advertising where local mer-
chants do the least.

Sundays Storm, Was
Very Disagreeable

That Sunday storm was regulari
jim-swizzer, but was mild to what
occurred on the Atlantic coast Satur;,
day. A report from Denver Satur-'
day evening stated a severe storm
was headed for Colorado. The day
and evening here were nice for VIM
ter. Early Sunday morning light
sleet made the walks slippery. Soon
snow, driven by stif north wind,
made conditions bad to be out in.
BY noon it was the worst storm of
the winter. The temperature was not
so low, but the snow driven by the
wind made it cold and very disagree
able.
The storm kept up all day. with
out cessation. At dark it seemed
about the same. However. by 9 p
m. the wind had layed. the snow
ceased. the sky was clear and the
stars shining brightly. This condi-
tion remained through the night, and
Monday morning the sun came out
brightly and it was a nice winter day.
We did not put our thermometer
out Sunday night. so do not know
how cold it was, but our guess. is
that Is was not much below Zero
We did not shut the watsr of in the
basement at home. and it did not

last week when shut OFF. Some of
the thermometers about town must
have been filled with home brew. as

ASSESSORS RAJ
DIXON PROGRAM
FOR TAXATION
Oppose Creation o f
Commission as Advo-
Gated by Governor.
Go on Record Against
Increase in Taxation:
Favor State Economy.

Billings, Oct. 24.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-THE legislative commit
tee of the Montana State Assessors
association, meeting in Billings Mon
day, went ON record as being opposed
to the passage Of the proposed amend
ment to our constitution creating a
tax commission under the name of a
state board of equalization" declaring
that it comes under the classification
OF an additional useless and expensive
board whose only function would be
to do the work now performed by our
present state board of equalization
and for this service the present board
is paid by the taxpayers of this state"
The members of the committee TAX
ing this action are William Il. Beau
mont, assessor of Powell county; Peter
j. Kelley, assessor of Silver Bow coun-
son county, and C. r. Martin, assessor
of Lewis and Clark county.
The amendment referred to has for
its purpose changing section Is of the
constitution of Montana. The present
state board of equalization is created
by that clause and is composed of the
governor, secretary Of state, state
treasurer, state auditor ard attorney
general, and is required 70 meet the
first Monday in July and daily there
after until its work is disposed of.
The amendment proposes that the
state board of equalization shall be
composed of three members to be APP
pointed by the governor, who shall de-
vote their entire time to the duties
of the office.
In the resolution adopted these men
declare that in their belief members of
the present state board of equalization
have tried to discredit' that body.
The resolution in effect records the
legislative committee as disagreeing
with Governor Joseph M. Dixon as to
the need of a tax commission, which
the governor has advocated in the pres
ent election campaign as a part of his
so-called tax program.
Governor Dixon has maintained that
the state board of equalization cannot
perform the tax equaiizing duties as
signed to it by the constitution of the
state, whereas the assessors commit
tee believes this board could function
as so designated.
The committee declares also in favor
of decreased expenditures and against
increased taxation. The committee ia
vors lowering governmental costs by
useless boards and com
missions"

TURKS AND ALLIES
Still IN DISPUTE
OVER HRACE PLAN
Nationalist Celebrate at SIAM
bOuI as Christians Fear
Outbreak.

Constantinople, Oct. 24-(By The
Associated Press).-The foreign
quarter and non-Moslem districts of
Constantinople spent a restless night
owing to the boisterous celebrations In
STEAMBOAT, the Turkish section, in con-
nection with the public reception of
Rafei Pasha, military governor of
eastern Thrace, and his gendarmes.
Heavy explosions of fireworks were
audible in all sections, giving rise to
the fear that the demonstration might
develop at any moment into a more
serious affair.
The allied generals and the Turkish
nationalists are still at loggerheads
over the route to be taken by the
Turkish gendarmerie in their occupa-
ton of eastern Thrace. -Rafel Pasha,
the new military governor of Ihrace,
at a lengthy conference with the allied
chiefs, Monday urged that the gen.
darmerie be permitted to go through
Constantinople, but was told that the
bulk of these forces must enter Ihrace
by way Of Rodosto. None of the con-
ferees seemed in friendly mood.
Allies Entertain Turk Chief
Rafel Pasha is being entertained by
the allies high commissioners during
his stay here. He plans to leave for
Thraee on Saturday. With Shakir Bey,
the new civil governor of Thrace, he
is considering numerous applications
for employment from Turks desiring
to participate in the government of
the province. While all the most i'm
portant offices will be filled by men
appointed by the Angora government,
the subordinate positions will be
largely occupied by Turks from Con-
stantinople. All the gendarmes with the
exception of a small force here, are
now gathered at Mudania and Ismid
awaiting word from the allies to EN-
bark for Thrace.
Real Admiral Mark Bristol confer
red Monday with the commanders of

s~troyers, outlining the Near Eastern

property.

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
and Neutralize Irritating
Acids.

Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it may remain to irritate
and inflame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation at
the neck of the bladder, obliging you
to seek relief two or three times dur
ing the night. The sufferer is in con-
slant dread; the water passes some
times with a scalding sensation and is
very profuse; again, there is difficulty
in voiding it.
Bladder weakness most folks call it,
because they can't control urination;
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is often
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast; continue this for two
or three days. This will help neutral
ize the acids in the urine so it no longer
is a source of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs, which then act
normal again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes nc bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia water drink, which often
quickly relieves bladder irritation.
