BUY 1t Or Return It.
Nuisance To Stop Soon

PHOENIX-"F -"Further indication
that the "Buy 1t or Return 1t" mail
order business will be stopped is
seen in letters from Arizona con-
gressmen. This plan of selling has
brought wide protests from mer-
chants and civic organizations
throughout the southwest, the
Phoenix campaign having been in
augurated by the Arizona Republi-
can and number of local business
associations.
Letters from Representative Hay
den and Senators Ashurst and Mer-
chants and Manufacturers asso-
citation of Phoenix declare that the
Walton bill, now pending in con-
gress, is receiving widespread sup
port.
Associations throughout the east
have also taken up the campaign in
favor of this bill and many eastern
congressman have expressed their
intention of voting for it. All three
Arizona congressman declared they
favored the bill and woull work to
se49re its early passage.
The Arizona delegation also en-
dorsed resolutions passed by the
Merchants and Manufacturers here.
The Watson bill would make it
unlawful for anyone to send parcels
through the mail which were de-
signed to be sold to the receiver
and which had never been solicited
It would give 20 5tal employees the
authority to refuse such parcels at
the time they were mailed, and
also give postmasters authority to
demand proof that goods shipped
lad been ordere by the pcrscn adj
dressed.
While it is generally Conceded
that persons receiving such parcels
pow are not obligated to either pay
(0r them or return them, the Wat
son bill would absolve the postal
service from all necessity to aid the
shippers in either recovering their
unsolicited merchandise or pay
ment for it.
Merchants throughout tho coun-
try have been active in campaigns
against this merchandising because
it has become a real menace to re-
tailers, a heavy burden of the post
office department and a nuisance
to the people of every community.

Shipment of Silver Foxes,
Valued at $4,000, Re-
CeiVed in City.

Probably the largest shipment of
silver foxes ever successfully
brought into the United States and
certainly the largest ever brought
to indianapolis was received here
Tuesday by the Indianapolis Silver
Fox Company. These 16S foxes, rep
.resenting an investment of between
$4,000 and $1SO,0OO, were brought
from Moncton, New Brunswick, by
DR.. B. L. De Bushe. one of the men,
bers Of the indianapolis firm.
The valuable animals were taken
in trucks from the station to the
company's farm between Mayfield
and Valley Mills, where specially con-
structed runways and pens had been
built for them.
This company, composed of DIR.
De Bushe, C. L. RAIDER and DR.. S. X
Pallardy, started in business about
eight months ago. Only registered,
pedigreed stock IS being raised.
Silver fox pelts bring from 5000
to $4,000 each on the New York mar
ket. it was explained. Even at these
enormous prices the supply cannot
meet the demand. The fur Of the
silver fox defies the art Of the fur
imitator.
DIR. De Bushe, recently sold a
silver fox pelt for s2,5OO to Charles
Chaplin for his wife, Lita Grey, who
now is threatening to sue for divorce.

starving and wanted to earn a few
dimes to buy some food. He appeared
very nervous.

Ferguson Printing Company, S22 N.
Senate Ave, one Of the four persons,
said he was positive that Olson was
the young man who washed the front
windows of the printing establish
ment last Friday. At another place
he wanted to work as presser in a
cleaning establishment.

we'll dressed, wanted to wash win
dows for 35 cents to get his break
fast. He said that the boy did not
look hungry, but he let him wash
his windows anyway. His actions
aroused the suspicious of Ferguson,
who later called police.
