appeared in the catalogue. Just op-
posite each item he wanted to give a
description of the same article which
giving the exact description as they
he carried in stock, and manufactured
in the same factory. No change in
price was made and the regular estab-
lished retail price was quoted. In
every instance the merchandise he
was offering for sale was a few cents
under the mail order price. This one
instance alone bears out the fact that
many people send away from home
for their merchandise without making
Investigations as to whether they
could do better by buying at home.
In the first place they are literally
buying 'a pig in a poke" for they
must buy their merchandise from a
description without the chance to
make an inspection and they must
also send their money in advance and
take a chance on securing what they
want.
Here is a little feature for the per-
son who patronizes the mail order
house to take into consideration.
Thousands upon thousands of volum-
inous catalogues are sent out by these
houses every year. Thousands of dol
lars are expended for cuts and at
| tractive illustrations they contain.
| Thousands of these catalogues which
cost on an average of $3.50 each to
produce, are sent to people who
never order a dollars worth of mer-
chandise, hence the person who is at
/ tracted by the fiowery description
must pay for all the catalogues that
. are sent out and they make these pay
mems by giving the firm excess profits.
The mail order house cannot buy
from the factories a bit cheaper than
the home merchant and cannot make
a penny more profit from the
/ handling of commodities, hence It
stands to reason that there IS no
I money to be saved and every dollar
going out Of the city IS de5racting
from the development Of that city.
Every loyal citizen in Hays and
: Ellis county can assist materially in
! increasing the already enviable stand
/ ing of this city and county in the COM
mercial world if he will adopt as his
slogan "Buy at Home" and talk il
with his neighbors and home mer-
chants and show his home merchants
where he is losing business if he is
not coming up to his part of tne
| development program. It will mean
money in the pockets of the con
sumner, the merchant and the COM
mOnwealth in general if such a pro-
gram of cooperation is carried out
universally throughout the county.

The State Supreme Court has

hope has ''squelched'' Lizzie Wooster.
If the Republicans will vote for Jess
w. Miley of Girard, for State Super
intendent at the August primary, we
will guarantee that such proceedings
will not have to be resorted to again,
at least not during his term. Mr..
Jess W. Miley, Republican candidate
for State Superintendent of Public
instruction, has been county superin-
tendent of Crawford county for the
past twelve years. This experience,
in addition to his previous teaching
experience, has kept him in close con-
tact with the common schools, which
assures that if he is nominated, the
comon schools Will have an advocate
at court, who is in sympathy with
their problems, and familiar with
their needs. Whomsoever else you
may vote for in the August primary,
be sure to vote for Mr. Miley.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS
WILL FOLLOW NEW
RAILWAY STATION
Construction of Northern Pa
cific Depot at Glendive to
Cost 100000.
Special to The Tribune.

Glendive, March 1O.-The Northern
Pacific railway will build new depot
at Glendive at cost of over S2OO.o 600.
The contract will be awarded about
March 20, and the work of construc-
ton commenced as soon as weather
conditions permit In keeping with
the new station, Glendive is going to
perk up. A large program of public
improvements will be put through.
The city means to live up to its new
depot.
Paving is the first item on the pro-
gram. It will cover Merrill avenue,
from the Yellowstone river to a point
near the n P. hospital, and also take
in Bell street. This will mean over
a mile and half of paving, which is
regarded merely as beginning, as it
is expected that other sections of the
city will follow later. The final plans
for major portion of the work were
approved some time ago. and contracts
will be let within the next sixty days.
The inclusion of some additional ter
ritory will require holding up construc-
tion until final plans can be made.
Co-incident with the paving program
there will be a general city plan for
storm sewers for the entire city.
though only a portion of these may be
built this year However. general
city plan will be adopted SO that what
ever may be constructed will fit in
with the general scheme. As soon as
these projects are well under way. it
is proposed to provide for re-laying
large portion of the water mains.
At present, about 80 per cent of these
mains are wood and have proved e1-
pensive and unsatisfactory. This alone
will involve an expenditure of about
$4,000.
Upon the request of the city council,
committee Of citizens and heavy tax
payers were appointed by the Glendive
chamber of commerce to assist in plan
ming and carrying out this program.

BOARD WOULD WORK
COUNTY PRISONERS
ON FLATHEAD ROADS
Sheriff Refuses to Comply With
Order Without Authority
From Court.
Special to The Tribune.

SPECIAL to The Tribune
kalispell, March 1O.-The board of
county commissioners decided to use
the county prisoners on the roads and
an order to that effect was entered.
However, Sheriff Martin believes that
the board has no jurisdiction in such
cases and has refused to comply with
the order, at least until the court
makes a ruling on the matter. The
resolution passed reads: THAT here
after all prisoners which the sheriff
believes to be safe to work upon the
county highways, shall be required to
work on such roads under the super
vision of the sheriff and of the county
surveyor; and the sheriff is hereby
authorized, where absolutely necessary
in his judgment. to employ two extra
guards or deputies for the purpose of
guarding prisoners engaged in such
work. 1t ia further ordered that said
prisoners be paid for such work the
reasonable value Of said work at not
less than one nor more than two dol
lars per day of eight hours, said re-
muneration for such labor to be paid
to the family OF the prisoner if the
county is supporting such family,
otherwise to be applied on the prison
er's fine"
Commenting on the order, Sheriff
Martin states that he cannot comply
with the terms of the resolution with
out d specific order from the court,
inasmuch as the terms Of the COM
mitments under which the prisoners
are bald make no provision for the
removal of the prisoners from the
county Jail for any purpose, nor is
there anything in their sentences that
could be- construed as requiring any
prisoner to work during the period of
his sentence.
At present as a result Of a recent
cleanup there are II prisoners in the
Jail serving sentences for bootlegging
and various other violations of the
prohibition law. Some of these SEN
tences have several months yet to run
and in a few instances the family Of
the prisoner has been compelled to ask
for county aid and the commissioners
believed that for the sake Of their
families they should be given employ
ment rather than to hold them in idle
ness and bear the expense of support
ing their families.

REPUBLICANS SCOR|v
CALL ISSUED FOR
COUNTY MEETING
Resolutions Say Move to Organ

Self Seeking Politicians.
Special to The Tribune:

Special to The Tribune:
Hobson, March 1O.-A meeting of re-
publicans was held Thursday to con-
slider the call recently issued by George
Fl. Kirk of Benchland for republican
caucuses in each precinct in the county
to elect members Of the county central
committee. THE meeting decided not to
elect representatives as the roads are
in such shape at the present time that
it is impossible to get representative
meetings in any of the precincts of the
county: Instead the meeting adopted
the following resolutions:
Whereas, cauc,fses have been called
to elect delegates to republican county
central committee meeting at Stanford
on March IL. and
Whereas, the condition of the roads
and the weather has made it impossible
for any representative meetings to be
held SO that delegates elected to this
meeting are bound to be of the hand
picked VARIETY, aud not representative
of the republican voters as a whole, and
Would Work Detriment
Whereas, 1t would work serious
dettinte ent on the republican party in
this county t. Aecentral committee at
tempts to take control of the organi-
zation and the party which is not repre-
sentative of the republican party Of
this county as a whole but represents
only selfish interests and self seeking
politicians with axes to grind, therefore
BE it resolved that this meeting
goes on record as opposed to any at
tempt to form central committee in
this county until the weather and roads
are such that majority of the mem
bers of the party can attend the eau
cuses, and resolved further that we are
opposed to any self seeking individual
or group attempting to call meetings
or caucuses for the purpose of getting
control of the party in their own in
terests. and we believe the only proper
way to call meeting is for all the
committeeman elected at the election in
1921 to get together and by majority
vote decide when and how the party
shall organize in this county.
Led into Action
Resolved further that while we do
not attack the motives of Mr.. Kirk in
attempting to assume authority to or
ganize the party, that nevertheless, we
believe he has been led into his action
by certain republicans who are not
working for the interest of the party as
a whole. but for their own selfish ends.
Resolved further that the members
present. at this meeting urge all loyal
republicans to disregard the meeting at
Stanford on March ! l and refrain from
assisting in an attempt to organize the
republican party in this county in the
interest of selfish individuals"

ing fund. fund created for the retir-
ing of matured bonds and amounting

ton for a long shutdown of the
coal mines. 1t is the small plants
and the house owners and private
! consumers Of coal who have paid no
heed to repeated warnings, and
continued to buy their coal from
hand to mouth that will be hit hard
in case of a strike.
The coal miners have gone on
record as determined to accept no
reduction in their wage scale. In
deed in some special lines they de-
:nand increased compensation for
their service. The coal operators
are determined to decrease the
wages paid for mining coal if they
have to go on an open shop basis.
The fight will, therefore, be Bit
ter one and quite likely long drawn
out. The coal operators declare
that the price Of coal must come
down if they are to compete in in
dustrial production with Europe.
This country now exports consider
able coal, or did so up to a recent
date. we are told. We sent a good
deal Of coal to Italy during and aft
er the war, but even with reduc-
ton of wages in this country it is
hardly likely that we could COM
pete for that market again in the
face Of British, German and French
competition. Coal miners wages
in Great Britain are on rapidly
diminishing scale now. A recent
dispatch to a New York CONNER
cial paper states that coal miners
wages for March have been settled
at substantial reductions-in North
Wales eight shillings five pence
half penny per shift (at parity
$2.07) or less than half wage paid
before the coal strike. In eastern
area pay drops six points per shift,
IN Lancashire two points only, in
Northumberland fifteen points"
But whether we can sell coal in
Europe or not in competition with
coal producers in Britain, France
and Germany, the price of coal en-
ters into many things we do sell
abroad, steel and metals, manufac-
tured goods of every kind, and to
keep the production cost of these
things down cheap coal is most de-
sirable and necessary. So the coal
miners strike If it comes about is
likely to have its reflex action in
many lines of industry. It's first
sure. effect will be to raise coal
prices, so if you are going to need
coal soon it is safe advice to say
you had better supply your needs
for the future now, if indeed it be
not too late to do so.
