Stock Tipster Swindler
Menace to Prosperity
Insidious Methods Are Employed to
Separate Unwary From Cash
Many Sound Investments

Because of the great magnitude
of the "tipster" swindle which has
caused unwary investors in all
parts of the United States loss
estimated to be more than $780,
OOO,OOO.O0 during the past few
months, this paper feels justified in
calling the attention of the public
TO the methods used by the un-
scrupulous "tipster" companies. :.
First an offer is sent, by mail,
for a subscription to stock mar
ket "tip' service which it is prom
ised will make recommendations of
stocks which are good speculations.
After the prospect has subscribed,
he begins to receive special delivery
letters, long distance phone calls,
and kilograms, in which the clip
ster" gives recommendations OF
stocks that are supposed to be
good 'Ebuys" but which are in
reality practically worthless, and
are being unloaded by the "tip-
ster" at prices far in excess of
their value, if they have any val
ue. ..-.aE
Thus the tipster "high pres
sures" the prospect into sending a
buying order direct to him, on
the promise of exorbitant future
profits. Later, of course the in
weston finds his stock to he prac-
tically worthless.
This is another lesson against
1'easy money" and against invest
ing your money on the advice of
a stranger, or with an unestablish-
ed company.
Today the old rule is better than
ever-investigate before you in
vest and ask your banker first.

G. O. P. to Spend $4,000
On Radio Broadcasting
Republican Speakers Will BE On
the Air FOrty-6ve Nights I'm
til End of Campaign

Washington, Sept. "a Sl35.-
OG0 radio broadcasting campaign
to be staged every night begin
ming late in September has been
de. iied upon by Herber+ Hoover
and his .'empaign counsellors.
For As nights before November
6, republican speakers bureau will
broadcast half an hour each night
on a national network. The pro-
gram will alternate on the Nation
al and Columbia broadcasting net
works.
Hoover's advisers have estima.-
ed the cost of setting up each ma
tional network at about $4,000
nightly. In addition expenses of
speakers must be paid.
Never before has the radio been
used so extensively by any adver-
tising or business corporation,
much less by a political campaign,
but the Hoover strategists believe
the money could not be spent more
proftably.
The nominee himself intends to
make only four big speeches. Trey
are all to be broadcast nationally,
bu. they cannot cover either the
subjects or the persons reached by
radio.
Furthermore, the Hoover les lers
believe their extensive plan is noe
essary since they have received II
formation that the demo .ra-s ir-
tend to spend as much as $500, 900
in circulating their material ever
the radio.
Hoover will make his four
speeches in Newark, September
II; Tennessee or North Carolina
New York City, October II, and
New ENGLAND.
In addition to these, Hoover ex-
poets to r1al.a some talks on his
way west in November. He is ex-
pected to take the northwestern
route, passing through Chicago,
Minneapolis, st. Paul, North Da-
kota, Montana, Idaho, Washington
and Oregon.

Legion Posts Aid
Austin Sufferers

When the recent cyclone and
ensuing tempest dectstated Austin
and vicinity, Legionaires from
Winona, Rochester and Leroy
rushed to aid in cleaning up the
debris and guarding wrecked prop
erty, joining Austin Legionaires
who worked all night in rain and
cold, the Austin Legion Auxiliary
unit furnishing sandwiches and
coffee. Blue Earth buddies phoned
their readiness to help if needed,
and North st. Paul Legionaires
contributed $40 to start a Mime
sofa Legion fund for the sufferers.

iliary units appropriated $500 from
their state fund to render immed-

are fundamentally dependent on
the maintenance of the status quo
under the treaties ending World
War and on the enforcement of
these treaties through the machin-
cry of the League of Nations and
the Locarno treaties.
The Kellogg treaty vas not to
he an embarrassment in maintain
ing the Status quo of present boun-
Diary lines in Europe. If Ger
many, for example, should under
take by force of arms to iberate
the German Tyrol from Italian
rule. France, Great Britain and
Italy would be released automat-
ically from the obligations Of THE
Kellogg treaty and would be free
to make war on Germany.
That there might be no misun-
derstanding about the conditions
on which it accepted the treaty,
the French government in it's note
of acceptance, summarized the Kel-
logg Interpretation thus:
Nothing in The new treaty re-
strains or compromises in any
manner whatsoever the right of
self defense. Each nation in this
respect will always remaian free to
defend its territory against attack
or invasion; it alone is competent
ito decide whether circumstances
require recourse to war in self
defense.
Secondly, none of the provis-
ions of the new treaty is in oppo-
sition to the provisions of the COW
enant of the League of Nations,
nor with those of the Locarno
treaties or the treaties of neutral
ity:
Moreover, any violation of the
new treaty by one of the contract
ing parties would automatically re-
lease the other contracting powers
from their obligations to the
treaty breaking state.
FINALLY, the signature which
the government of the United
States has now offered to all the
slgnatory powers of the treaties
concluded at Locarno and which il
is disposed to offer to all powers
parties to treaties of neutrality, as
well as the adherence made posi-.
BILE to other powers is of a ma.
ture to give the new treaty in as
full measure as can practically be
desired, the character of general
lty which accords with the vews of
the government of the republic.
Thanks to the Qualification civ
en- by the new preamble and
THANKS, moreover, to the interpre-
tations given to the treaty, the
government of the republic con-
Igratulates itself that the new con-
vention is compatible with the OBJ
legations of existing treaties Ito
which France is otherwise a con-
ltractlng party and the integral re-
spect of which is necessarily i'm
lperatively imposed upon it by good
faith and loyalty"
/ The British government accepted
with an expression of satisfaction
with the Kellogg Interpretation as
a record so far as it went of the
understanding on which Great
Britain agrees to sign. But there
was one British reservation not

MINI. Legion Song
Contest Continued

1900 While as entries were submitted
in the 1928 Minnesota Legion state
song contest, the judges, who did
not know the names or residences
of those who submitted them, de-
cided to continue the contest .Afor
another year, explaining that while
the music Of some entries was
ideal, the accompanying words
were unsuitable, while in other
cases wording was good but music
was poor. The judges hope that in
addition to many new entries, the
original contestants will re-submit
revised songs with suitable text,
singable music, well harmonized,
linking Legion ideals with the
love which Minnesota members
have for the North Star State and
their pride in it's opportunities.
The judges recommended a 1929
contest prize of $3.50 for the writ
er of a song accepted as suitable
for use at Legion national conven-
tons.

SHOPKEEPING FORMULA
PROPOSED BY FILENE

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, October ia formula
for successful shopkeeping was given
today to the retailers of Chicago by
Edward A. Filene, Boston merchant and
economist, in an address to the retail
ers' luncheon of the Illinois Chamber
of Commerce.
Here Is a method I have always
found successful" Filene said in the
course of his talk, which was devoted
10 a discussion of ways the independent
merchant can meet the competition Of
chain stores.
a. Advertise largely-courageou
the things that people want and will
be helped by owning.
30. Tell the exact truth in your adj
vertisements being sure to understate
the good qualities of your products.
49, Don't lie! If you must lie, do so
without advertising your iniquity.
a If you don't sell great quantities
by this method, then improve the value
of what you are advertising until 1t is
more surely the best value on the
market
IS. If you don't sell greater and
greater quantities in this way. then ad-
VertiSe still more courageously."
Reviewing the growth of chain store
retailing, which he said had doubled IN
volume in the past eight years, Fllene
advised independent merchants to or
ganize or Join one Of the several types
Of buying or management sssocla tons
which can meet the chain store at Its
strongest point.
