EASY to Investigate

When an accusation such as was made by
Robert Hicks, the Nemesis of mail order frauds,
against Frank Rozelle the new United States
marshal for northern Indiana, is launched,
there is usually demand for an investigation.
1t might seem that in this particular case,
there would be not only demand from Rozelle
for most thorough inquiry, but one also from
Senator Arthur Robinson and Senator James
e. Watson, who obtained the place as marshal
for him.
The charge made by Hicks was direct and
definite. He wrote to the attorney general and
the postmaster general that Rozelle has owned
mail order scheme which Hicks says preyed
upon women and took from the needy and
almost hopeless the few dollars they may have
saved
Mr. Hicks is responsible citizen. He pub
fishes magazine devoted to the exposure of
frauds in the field of direct selling. He is
known for his benefactions, the most recent
of which was gift of $4,000 to the Wheeler
Mission in this city.
Either his charge is true or it is not true.
If it is true, the improperly of giving so i'm
portant public post as the Federal office to
an owner of such scheme becomes apparent.
If it is not true, there should be complete vim
dication.
The evidence is easily obtainabe and
neither the postal department nor the Depart
ment of Justice would find any difficulty in set
ting the matter easily.
In every so-called "home work" scheme
or enterprise, either fraudulent or honest, the
money is collected largely through postal
money orders
In the Rozelle enterprise the advertisement
called for the making of pillow tops at home.
A charge was made for the materials A prom
Use was held out to purchase the completed tops.
The postal records at La Grange would tell
the story.
Investigators have only to check up and
discover how many women sent in money for
materials and then from the books of the COM
pany discover just where the completed tops
we're paid for and where they were sold.
Two days work by competent Investigator
ought to settle the matter.
Any one who honestly advertises for labor
must have steady demand for the product
All that is necessary is to point to the market,
get the records of the banks through which
payment was made for large lots and then dis
close that instead of being fraud, that the
enterprise really gave work to women who need
spare time jobs
If honest, there could be nothing more
benevolent than an industry which permitted
women to work in their own homes in some
gainful occupation.
If dishonest, there is no meaner form of
fraud.
There is more at stake in this case than the
punishment of man. There is the good name
of the State. There is the reputation of Rob-
inson and Watson, who made Rozelle United
States marshal
The time to make the inquiry is now and
at once. It is so easy to discover the truth.

TT is a common view that health
L is merely freedom from disease;
actually, however, the mere fact
that a person is not sick in bed or
is not suffering with serious and
disturbing symptoms does not mean
that he is healthful.
True health consists Of physi-
cal state in which one may have
the greatest possible enjoyment Of
life. The person who is not aware
in any way Of disturbances or dis
satisfactions in his body is not al
ways healthful.
Not only should he be unaware
of the body processes, but he should
have a realization of force, driving
power and impetus which will give
him confidence in himself.

Center for Oil

Not so many years ago West
Texas was regarded as fit for little
more than longhorns and two-gun
sheriffs, and even now, more East
erners think Of it as a place Of
bad men," stud poker and ele-
mental emotions, all of which proves
how much more faith some people
put in yellow-back novels and slap
stick movies than in census reports.
West Texas is producing oil at the
rate of 100000 barrels a day, or
100000 900 barrels a year. 1t is build
ing thousands Of miles Of hard sur
face highway in all directions not
only to connect villages that have
become towns overnight, but to take
care Of the traffic Of innumerable
manufacturing and mercantile en-
terprises.
Tuesday morning there was a
breakfast for visiting newspaper
men, at which Tom Finley CT the
Dallas News, Bill Hard Of Was hing
ton and I talked. Finley and Hard
talked well. But the most interest
ing remarks were made by a gentle
man from Rock Springs, a town Of
1900 inhabitants that was literally
blown away by cyclone, one year
ago. !
Rock Springs. he informed us,
had not only crawled out Of its
ruins, rebuilt It's houses and gone
back to work, but would market
more than 100000 worth Of wool
and mohair this year. That is just
one example Of the grip behind the
nonsense. Berger is another Berger

yet to celebrate its fourth birthday.

especially in the last few years, but
not everything.

"A
w count these and other sim
liar rumors, I have little doubt that
Texas will go Democratic as usual,
but I have found very few who do
not look for a greatly increased
Republican vote.
The detection cannot be described
as a bolt. It lacks both organiza-
ton and leadership. That it exists,
however, and that it will be felt at
the polls seems almost beyond
doubt. Meanwhile, there is little
evidence of an open rupture at
Houston.
The prevailing opinion is that
Governor Smith has developed too
strong a following to be side tracked,
and that the wisest, if not the only
thing to do is to accept his nomi-
nation without protest.
Though his supporters are fewer
than the probable Democratic NOM
inee can usually count in this Sec
ton they make up in enthusiasm
what they lack in numbers.
Whether the Texas delegation will
get in line is debated on every hand
Some say it will, while others say
it will oppose Governor Smith to
the last ditch. The candidacy OF
Jesse H. Jones, whom the Texas
delegation has Endorsed, does not
appear to be taken seriously.

SANDSTONE COMPANY
HAS ANNUAL MEETING
(From Pine County Courier)

The annual meeting of the Sand
stone Cooperative Co. was held at
the Rubinell cafe last Saturday eve
ming. Nearly all of the stockholders
and a number of invited guests were
present. After very sumptuous din
ner, short talks were given by DR..
H. P. Dredge, Rev. L. E. Kennedy,
Atty. Albert johnson and R. ] Colvin.
The guests then formed theater par
ty to attend the movies and the stock
holders held their business meeting.
Manager A. S. Larson read his annual
report showing that the company has
had a very successful year as the
years sales amounted to over 100000
and prospects look very bright for
the present year. The usual dividend
was declared and the same officers
were elected to serve for another year.

CHAPTER vi

Sunday in Sleepy Cat was not the
best day of the week; usually it was
the worst; but Sunday morning early
was fairly quiet. and on this Sunday
Christie, in trouble, was abroad early.
The sun was scarce an hour high
when she FASTENED up-street from the
tent camp toward Doctor Carpy's
hotel. Slender in figure, light of foot,
alert, almost swift in action, Christie
looked neither to the right nor the
left, and the few men stirring at that
hour caught none of her glances.
The front door of the hotel was
open. She entered the narrow hall
with the caution Of the inexperienced,
and looked through another open door
into the office, which was empty.
Christie when she walked in and
halted in perplexity at the desk
which consisted only of a shabby
piece Of old counter and a half-empty
cigar-case containing with a few
cigars an abundance Of old bills rem
dered the proprietor for merchandise
had and delivered.
But on the counter stood the din
ner-bell, and Christie, after some look
ing about and some hesitation, seized
and rang 1t.
Startled at the noise it made,
Christie set 1t down in trepidation
and waited for results. For q moment
there were none; then men, some in
coats and some coatless, some beard
ed and some unshaven, but all very
much face-washed and with hair very
wet and plastered, began appearing
from nowhere, or, rather, from every
where-at the doors and through the
windows Christie saw them coming,
some slowly, some eagerly, but all
with great accord, toward the en-
trance to the dining-room across the
hall. The doors were closed, but one
adventurer, more bold than his fell
lows, pushed open the door, walked
in, and the rest trooped heavily in
after him.
Christie heard a woman's voice and
one not pitched In an amiable key:
Ready? No! It's not ready and
won't be ready for half an hour yet.
Who rang that bella"
Christie felt like dropping through
the floor. Very positive steps were
coming rapidly her way. The next
moment she was faced by a stern
looking woman.
"Did you ring that bellT'
Christie felt it would be useless
to deny. 81 didn't know it was the
dinner-bell," she explained. 81 want
Doctor Carpy."
"What for?'
"For my father"
"Well, he's not here. There was a
fight this morning down in the River
quarter. A man got shot. He's down
there. What's the matter with your
father?
: Each question was chopped off with
q mental ak, and the question flung
with about as much consideration as
bullet.
"My father" retorted Christie re-
sentfully, initiating and beginning to
feel the harshness Of her questioner,
"needs a doctor He was robbed last
night and beaten!' She spoke her
words with due feeling; but if she
expected to make any impression
with the news, or to arouse sympathy
for her anxiety, she was disappOint-
ed-stories of Christie's sort meant
little to Margaret Hyde; she had be-
come too Injured to the violence of
