.TEA-BAGS ENJOY
 BIG POPULARITY
Fill Definite Need With American Consumers
 Says SaIada Co.

True Americans have always been a fervent lotr-eager for new ideas-willing to try anything once but not at all satisfied to keep using a thing unless 1t has some real honest-to-goodness merit - some fundamental and lasting con- venierce and appeal. Witness the miniature golf course, the jig-saw puzzle and. the like which spranR up almost overnight, enjoyed the height of popularity for g while and then passed out of the picture completely.
 Tea-bags, those little square pa- per envelopes containing just a cer. tain amount of tea, are different they are here to stay. They i'll a definite need. They are convenient and practical. Only a few years ago tea-bags were regarded as a fad, a novelty and 8 curioSity-but ever since their introduction the Ameri- can public has taken to them so whole-heartedly that their popu- larity has increased tremendously year after year. The reason for this rapid growth is that tea-bags are modern, convenient to use and con- tam just the right amount of tea for the perfect cup of tea-made to suit the individual taste. It is so easy to steep the tea to just the de- sired strength and then remove the tea-bag. There is never any guess ing about the quantity to use-it is all very accurately weighed. Ar1- other thing, 1t is just as convenient to make tea in the teapot for a large group as 1t is to make 1t in the cup for one or two individuals.
 As thoroughly convenient as tea bags are, people don't serve tea for this reason alone-they do so in order to enjoy the delicious and re- freshing flavor and the invigorating and stimulating qualities of fine tea. So, in order to enjoy "tea at its best" choose f1ne-quality tea bags, Salada-for instance, which afford you the happy combination of quality and convenience. The aim today is to serve fine tea con- veniently; that means tea-making with quality tea-bags.

 Ken got busy. He telephoned to ueople with cash. He button-holed bloated bond holders. He avoided the professional patriots who serve on local defense committees. The last we heard, Ken had about fifty-two dollars with more prom ised.
 There's nothing extraordinary ah0rt . Britisher asking for some thing to keep Hitler from upset ting any more hedgegows. Just the other day, one of them telephoned fo MT. Roosevelt and got fifty. destroyers on some sort of 2 trade. But what we liked about the guy who wanted help buying LeWes Spitfire was that he knew how to address that cablegram. He sent it to Paradise Rifles, South Brit ain. New Canaan, Connecticut, U. $. Az. and the cable company obligingly sent it to New Britain to further complicate matters.
 News of the Paradise Rifles gets around. They've heard about us in England and if the news Is out there, it won't be long before MT. Hitler and Uncle Joe Stalin are aware of our existence. After all, mighty few villages have such an organization, and mighty few com rnTnities take less interest in the defense of the realm.
 The Paradise Rifles win never sO Off half-c0ck. When many of our nervous townsmen saw be- wiIdering signs all pointing in the direction of the 1887 German American Bund Camp, troopers of the Rifles were interviewed and an effort was made to determine just what the outfit would do in the event of an alarm. Quietly, and without any pleas for assistance from the State constabulary, a uaember of the Rifles checked on Ire ownership of the former Bund land and found that 1t was no longer the property of an out lander.
 Those signs were probably the work of a practical joker. Nobody got the Rifles excited. They made a reconnaissance and avoided the expense of a General Muster. The township was not invaded and almost evervone has forgotten about the signs.

That is as it should be. The under

authority police powers over them.

organized labor comes within the
scope Of the Sherman Antitrust Act
which was adopted to break up corpor-
ate and financial trusts. When this
law was applied against unions, the

the Clayton Act which specifically ex-

ging and monopolistic combines be-

insist, however, that such manifestly

be prosecuted under the properly ap-
plicable laws, not the antitrust laws.
We fear, with good reason, that the
antitrust laws can ge used as an in
strument to destroy organized labor
and place it under the thumb of the
Federal Government. No legal presti-
digitation can ever convince us that
workingmen and women associated in
a union for their self-protection
against the entrenched power of in
dustry and capital constitute trust
inimical to the welfare of the nation.

Condemns GombIinq
By WPA Workers

The following resolution adopted
by the State Board of Public We'll
fare becomes very pertinent in
view of the report by officers of
the law that some WPA workers
in Libby are spending at least part
of their earnings in gambling. The
State Board has taken a vigorous
stand against such practices. The
resolution against gambling was
adopted by the Board on February
%, and reads.
Whereas it has been reported to
this Board that numerous persons
receiving assistance or relief
through this Department are not
using such assistance or relief funds
for the purpose intended by the
Public Welfare Act, but are squan-
dering funds in gambling and
drinking;
Whereas we regard such squan-
dering of public funds as fragrant
injustice to the struggling people OF
this state who pay the necessary
taxes which in many cases bring
them close to the borderline Of pow
erty;
Whereas we regard such deplor-
able practice as shameful wrong
against innocent children, helpless
women, and destitute old people
who depend upon the squanderers
for the necessities of life, and
Whereas the temporary exhilar.
alton and excitement arising through
drinking and gambling are physical.
| ly and morally degrading to the per.
son himself and will in the end in.
crease his poverty and deepen hi:
misery;
Nov Therefore be it Resolved
b. this Board, that we disapprove
| deplore and condemn such unfor.
| tunate and ruinous misuse of pub
lie welfare funds; that we call or
/ all persons receiving assistance o.
relief through this Department t.
use the funds received CAREFUL,
and wisely for the support of them
selves and families SO that suffer
ing shall be alleviated and manhood
and Womanhood may grow in worth
and dignity;
BE it further resolved that w,
call upon all representatives of tn,

Boards and county attorneys ant
upon all representative and EN-
ployees of County Welfare Boards
to use all lawful and proper mean
