POWERS

Governor Erickson has made two
appointments that bring great sat.
isfaction to eastern Montana, or
at least northeastern Montana
William Powers as secretary of
state and Judge John Hurry as a
member of the state board of edu-
cation. Both men are as well
qualified as could have been found
in the state. Their appointment
is proof of the Governors good
judgment of men, and brings the
welcome assurance that although
the northeast counties are far
from the state capital they have
not entirely been forgotten.
William Powers is a citizen of
our own county and recognized as
an industrial and business leader.
He has varied and extensive in
terests and has registered his abili-
ty by making a c of all of
them during the trying period
through which the country has
passed. He can be depended on
to give the state, in the important
office he will fill after May LIST, the
benefit of faithful service and
proven executive ability. ROose-
welt county is pleased and proud
to have Mr.. Powers, its representa-
tive citizen, called to join the off
cial family at Helena.

your choice of reliable merchan-
disc.
If the peddler's wares are unsat-
isfactory he is gone-you have no
redress.
If you are not satisfied with
goods purchased from your stores,
you may go back and receive sat
isfactiOn.
Every reliable merchant backs
the goods he sells, if they will not
stand his personal guarantee. he
will not handle them.
Always trade at the local stores
and you are safe.
Buy from the peddler and you are
almost always stung.
Think it over-but be prepared
to send the peddler to a mor well
come field. Trade at home,-EX-

the ITINERANT PEDDLER

Now is the time when all resi-
dents should beware of the timer
ent peddler. Hundreds of them
flood our city every winter to reap
a harvest from the unwary.
We have studied many peddling
schemes and find them wanting
in virtue, both from a standpoint
of economy and satisfaction.
The peddler usually guarantees
the articles he sells. He is here
today and gone tomorrow, and his
guarantee is gone with him.
His goods are usually unfit for
stores to handle and only by a
haphazard, fy-by-night method are
the manufacturers able to dispose
of them.
First class goods are sold by
merchants who are here every day,
to back with their reputation and
success, the goods they sell.
If goods could be sold cheaper
or goods of a better quality could
be obtained, your local merchant
would have them.
His success depends entirely up
on your satisfaction. He must
please you. He must give you
value. You must be satisfied or he
will cease to exist.
Ask yourself if the peddler Of
fers his assurance to you.
The peddler takes your money
and is gone.
The local merchant uses your
money to build your community.
The peddler offers you the
-oods he carries.
The local merchant offers you

Henderson's generosity. The Vice
Presidents entire salary would be
inadequate for its upkeep, he de-
cided. and it is no part OF the
Coolidge nature to spend all OF
ones income for living expenses.
Mrs. Henderson had the notion that
the occupant of the Second White
House" could do much to relieve
the Chief Executive of the burden
of social duties that devolye upon
him. Congress failed to accept
the gift.

CLOSE-UPS In The
NATIONS CAPITAL
by Stephen James,

How much to tip the waiter. is
the bellboy entitled to a dime for
ice water, and what gratuity does
the porter expect for his services
while on a journey, or at the sta
ton?
These and other perpleXing ques-
tions which the average traveller
ponders, all are nicely fixed and
classified in the new travel regu-
lations recently issued for the in
formation and guidance of those
who go to and fro on government
business. Incidentally, despite the
government economy program. the
daily subsistence allowance is
raised from 81 to So, an increase
of so per cent.
The new regulations, compiled by
the Federal Traffic Board and APP
proved by President Coolidge, com
prise SIS pages in ~pocket-size book
lets, and supersede the confusing
and conflicting rules formerly laid
WV IL ~ Ailt o0N - oA NiC AAi0AAN
Tips to walters, these regulations
provide, must not exceed so cents
per day, while the traveller on
government business must not give
the bellhop more than 80 cents a
day. Travellers may even have
their clothes pressed at govern
ment expense, since Uncle Sam
wishes his representatives to be
neat and personable, if the total
does not exceed S1.25 a week. Like
wise, S1.40 is considered sufficient
to keep the traveller in clean
shirts and collars for a week, and
is allowed as a laundry charge.
AT the station baggage porters /
to get no more than fifteen cents
for carrying each parcel of bag
gage. nor a total sum beyond 25
cents. Porters on sleeping cars
and parlor cars may not stretch
out an itching palm for more than
rs cents for each "a hours. unless
the donor expects to make up the
difference out of his own pocket.
The regulations scorn the word
tips" but designates all these al
lowances in more elegant language
as fees" BY and large. as the
average traveller knows, the al
lowances are not excessively gen
erous, but after all, reasonably
fair. Those who travel for the
government, the rules caution. 'are
expected to exercise the same care
in mourning expenses that a pru-
dent person would use if travelling
on personal business
Extra-fare trains are forbidden,
except when necessity requires
and one STANDARD lower berth" is
stipulated for travel in this coun-
try.
Allowances for foreign travel
are slightly less specific. and a bit
more generous. but neither are
they excessive.
