TOO MUCH DISHONESTY

We see where the National Cham
Der of Commerce at Washington has
launched movement to induce bust
ness men of the country to be lit
tie more sincere, or-in plain words
"a little more honest in the meth
DDS they use and the claims they
make to sell goods Those who have
anything to market are urged to OBJ
serve the golden rule and to think
more of the interests of the people
who are using and paying for the
goods than of their own profits.
In spite of the pure food laws and
the watchful eye of Uncle Sam there
is a vast amount of misrepresenta-
ton. Containers are put up with
false bottoms, fruit is packed with
the best specimens on top and there
are all sorts of tricks for misleading
the buying public. Already there
is an organization working to put
a stop to furniture misrepresenta-
ton. They have found some dealers
selling walnut" and mahogany"
when investigation showed the ma
terial to be birch or gum stained to
initiate the eostlier woods. One
iealer justified his course by saying
that his competitor does the same
hing, but that didn't give back the
money he had taken through mis-
representation. Efforts are also be-
ng made to get all textile goods
stamped on the back so as to show
they are made of silk, vir-
rim wool, shoddy, cotton or mixtures,
such law would be a public bless
ng.
Merchants around Mountain Home
re honest, but they are apt to be
on by manufacturers. When
he goods are passed on to you the
merchant should not be blamed If
hey are afterward found to be faul-

TOBACCO NEXT

At the general conference of the
Methodist church, recently closed at
Baltimore, resolutions. deploring the
use of tobacco in all forms were
passed. 1t was decided to send COM
mittees before Congress and all state
legislatures to ask for laws prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale of CT
gars and cigarettes. There are pos
sibly some people around Mountain
Home who will smile at this, and who
will declare the effort to stamp out
tobacco can never succeed. But
these same people should remember
that thousands smiled a few years
back when anyone had the nerve to
declare the U. S. would some day be
voted dry. You never can tell when
a movement starts in this country
just where it is going to end-nor
how it will end. SO the best thing
the friends of tobacco can do is to
take the matter seriously and get
ready to fight Within the next few
years we may have still another type
of bootlegger in our midst-the Ito
bacco bootlegger"

LOOKS LIKE A GO

For the past eighteen months the
Postofice department has been lay
ing out a coast forecast airplane
route, and trying out the plan of car
rying mail by fast sky craft. Now
comes announcement that the routes
have been definitely accepted, sched-
ules have been fixed. planes especial
ly built for carrying mail have been
turned over to the department, and
regular service of airplane mail
will be started on July /. The
stamps have also been printed, with
a minimum fee of about 25c-a very
reasonable rate for those who want
to get message through faster than
the trains can carry it and yet much
cheaper than it could be telegraphed.
Permanent landing fields have been
opened, and skilled men are ready to
pilot the fast planes through the air,
flying both day and night schedule.
Pretty soon "airplane mail" will
probably be coming into Mountain
Home. When it does it would be a
good idea for the recipient of such
a letter to sit down and consider
what long step this old nation has
taken within the past fifteen or
twenty years.

filed on rough tract Of land this

toll and effort to subduing and inn

pcseful characters as "Fritz' Korup-
kat who have made many forbidding

ATTENTION, TAXPAYERS

No doubt you have heard that it be-
came necessary to stop the further
collection Of taxes. 1t was found that
number of errors had been made in
the tax list for current taxes andt hat
it would be impracticable make fur
ther collections based on the present
tax list.
The climax was reached last Satur.
day, when upon advising with Treasur-
er Chas. II. King, it was decided to stop
tax collections wrereupon Mr.. King
notified the State Tax Commission, the
Board Of County Commissioners being
likewise informed of the decision.
Monday ,followin, County Attor-
ney j. W. Dollison and myself were
advised by the Tax Commission that
should review the work and make q
new tax list and that all errors might
be corrected under my supervision.
This order from the Commission was
most gratifying since it proves that all
have not lost confidence in me, this
organisation realizing that while am
officially responsible, the errors,
though made in my office, were not
of my making.
I wish to say that the trouble cannot
be placed in any sense against Treas-
urer Chas. b. King, who is working In
full and complete harmony with me to
rectify these errors.

BURGLARS INVADE aLENwooD

Last Saturday evening while the j.
@. Richardson family attended the
basketball game at the school house,
burglars entered their suburban home
and iisarranged furniture and wearing
apparel in a wild fashion.
When the folks returned home they
found everything in complete disorder,
the contents of trunks and dressers
scattered in the utmost confusion all
over the house.
Apparently nothing of value was
taken and, although the officers have
a theory as to the guilty party and
the motive for the crime, no arrests
have been made as yet, and probably
none will be made, unless further evi-
dence develops that will tend to fix
the crime more definitely.
