INVESTED Sl,S6O in
GROCERY ON wheels.
New Britain Woman Receivers
Part Of Money Through Lawyer
LARGE DIVIDEND PROMISED
Stock OF Empire Food Products Of
New York Said 10 Have Been
GIowingly Described by Stock
Brokerage Concern.

Convinced that the Empire Food
Products Co., of New York city, in
which she had invested her life's saw
ings of SIX had misrepresented its
financial condition in the sale of its
stock. and that instead of being the
promoters of countrywide group
OF grocery stores and meat markets
on Wheels" the company was actu-
ally worth only $500, local woman,
whose name her attorney declined to
disclose. has forced the company into
settlement on satisfactory basis.
Attorne! Irving ]. Rachlin acted in
the interests of the woman. Settle
ment was made only after the COM
pany had been forced into bankruptcy
and similar proceedings had been
started against the firm Of John H.
Martin l. Co., brokers of New York
city it is alleged. The operations of
the company we're carried on in this
locality and 1t Is believed that other
New Britainites have invested heav-
lily.
In 1921, the woman investor re-
ceived communication from New
York concern in which there was a
circular from John H. Martin &; Co.,
advising the purchase of shares of
stock of the Empire Food Products
Co, and advising her as to the kind
OF business in which that concern
was engaged.
In subsequent letters the Martin
company guaranteed her a dividend
OF at least one and one-half per cent
interest per month on each share of
stock purchased, she explains.
Promptly she forwarded to the con
cern a check for $1,000 for which
she received III shares of Empire
stock.
About one week later, an agent of
the Martin company who said his
name was Maloney came to the wom
ans home and told her that il she
purchased additional shares she would
positively earn at least $4,000 within
a period of 10 months, she claims. He
offered her stock at 50 q share. Al
below what he said was the market
price at that time. She bought 30
shares.
Shortly thereafter she heard the
stock was not as represented and she
wrote the company asking them 10 re-
turn her money, and tendering the
stock. When she failed to receive a
favorable reply she consulted .,ttor-
ney Rachlin who Immediately institut-
ed proceedings to force the return of
at least a part of the money. The ac-
tion was brought in New York city,
but before it was decided by the
courts the brokerage house submitted
an offer of settlement which was ac-
cepted.

ing head three times on the ground.
A couple of weeks ago we made a
remark or two in print which might
have been construed as a knock on
zach's car. We intimated that it
would not run without oil, and that
a repair bill could always be paid by
leaving the car with the repair man.
Now lots of fellers would have got
highly indignant under the circum-
stances, but not so Zach. He got
busy and heaped Goals of fire on our
head, figuratively speaking. Thurs

Lewis and the writer were returning
from Boise in the latter's car, the
engine ceased to function in the
vicinity of Regena. After giving
everything the o. O., Zach gave it as
his opinion that the dingus on the

he filed and dressed the obnoxious

suffered with joy at the first trial.
ZACH NEVER SAID A WORD IN
ANY WAY REFLDCTING ON THE
CAR OR ITS OWNER. Such for
bearance is worthy of a great man,
and we believe that some day Zach
will represent his state in the U. S.
Senate.

discouraged about making up work,
and stay home the next day. They
say, Jaw, what's the use? I'm go
ing to work and then go to a teehni-
cal school"
Now this isn't the right spirit at
all. Mountain Home has an excep-
tionally good high school The pu-
pill doesn't have to pay anything to
attend, but it takes lots of cash to go
away to a tech.
Another thing, when a student
misses a year or even less, he loses
the desire to go to school.
Surely every one of us pupils
knows the value of getting at least
a high school education, so, for our
own sakes let's not get this rowing,
spirit and miss the oppor-
tunity to make something of our
selves.

Attendance Of High School Pupils

For the first few weeks of school,
the attendance in high school was
very good; but lately there have been
many cases of absence. Some of the
pupils stay out half day, or a few
days thinking they can make up the
work. Even if the work is made up,
the pupil never gets as good grade
or as much out of the lesson, as if
he or she had been present at class
time.
What is far more serious, how
ever, than these short absences, is
the fact that some OF these students
don't care whether they come one
day or not. They come one day, get

Student Government

A few weeks ago, a committee was
appointed by the school to draw up a
constitution for a form of student
government. This constitution was
to be brought, unchanged, before
the student body to be rejected or
ratified. Different articles in this
constitution have been changed, and
the whole outfit has not yet been
presented.
Why was this committee appointed
if the conditions are not to be carried
out?
A very undemocratic system was
introduced: that of having the
school president elected by the stud
ent council, instead of by the stud
ent body. This act was etirely con-
trary to the article concerning the
election of officers in the constitu-
ton.
Such form is not student govern
ment, but government by few.
A meeting was held concerning
literary divisions by one who is only
member of the council. The presi-
dent is to preside over such meetings
before any definite action can be
taken.
If there is to be a student govern
nent, why not insist on having it
rom the start?

And find happiness instead,
And some find tears to shed.
