instruments intended for locating
gold and silver and in the distribu-
ton of a booklet the federal trade

directed against Henry Bergman,
Springfield. Mo. dealer in such

scented to purchasers that the instru-
ment offered for sale will enable

hidden treasures and that persons
giving testimonials published by the
respondent have actually located
treasure by using the respondents
instrument.
The complaint also alleges mis-
representations in the sale of a So
called fortune telling crystal ball, ="
universal good luck coins" and
lists of names and addresses of
concerns selling devices used in
searching for treasures or minerals.

are alleged to be false, misleading
and deceptive because the use of his

HIGHGRADERS
RAMPANT
COLORADO

GRAND JUNCTION COLO
Charges were filed against II men
in Colorado's third big highgrad
ing case within a month.
Sheriff Guy Warrick of Tellur-
de said a former Missouri CON
vict's love for a friends wife indi-
rectly led to discovery of wide
spreadgold thefts from one of Col
orado's most historic mines, the
Smuggler Union.
The thefts run between $4,000
and 100000, the sheriff estimated.
The men charged here are accused
of buying gold from miners who
carried the highgrade ore from the
Smuggler Union in small amounts,
in lunch baskets or under their
coats.
Four men are under arrest at
Fairplay. high in the Rockies of
central Colorado, in connection with
widespread highgrading investi-
cation which has already sent four
others from that locality to the
state penitentiary for participating
in thefts of gold from Park coun-
ty mines. Other arrests are expect
ed.

ring of thieves and smugglers ship
ping vanadium ore from western
Colorado mines to both the Sino-
Japanese and European wars has

ton. said here.
Burwell said his company was

vanadium-vital in the hardening
of steel for armaments-outsid
the United States Regional offices
of the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation and the secret service in
Denver denied they had any know
ledge of the vanadium company's
allegations.
International Ring
I'VE have reason to believe a
ring of international size is operat
ing in vanadium and refined ore
taken from our Uravan, Colo, hold
ings in the west central part of the
state. eventually is finding its way
to belligerent nations. the company
president declared.
The company started its inves-

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON ". BURGESS.

: .
Granny Fox couldn't believe her
own eyes. No, str, she couldn't be-
lieve her own eyes, and she rubbed
them two or three times to make
sure she was seeing right. She had
left q plump chicken ON the top Of
the hill while she tried to catch
Peter Rabbit. She hao not caught
Peter and now the chicken had dis
appeared, and there was no trace
Of where it had gone.
1t was very queer Old Granny
Fox sat down to think who there was
would dare steal anything from her.
Then she walked in q big circle with
her nose to the ground, smiling.
What was she doing that for? Why.
to see If she could fina the tracks Of
any one who might have stolen her
chicken.
"Aha!" exclaimed Granny Fox.
starting to run along the top of the
hill, her nose to the ground. AHA!
Ill catch him this time!"
In few minutes she began to run
more slowly, and every two or three
steps she wuold look ahead. Sud-
denly her eyes snapped and she be-
gan to creep almost fiat on her
stomach, just as she had crept for
Peter Rabbit. But it wasn't Peter
Rabbit this time. 1t was-whom do
you think? Jimmy Skunk! Yes, sir,
1t was Jimmy Skunk. He was slowly
ambling along, for Jimmy skunk
never hurries. Every big stick or
stone that he could move he would
pull over or look unGer, for Jimmy
Skunk was looking for beetles.
Old Granny Fox watched him.
Must have a tremendous appetite
to be hunting for beetles after eat
ing my chicken" muttered she.
Then she jumped out in front of
Jimmy Skunk. her eyes swapping, her
teeth showing, and the hair on her
back standing on end so as to make
her look very fierce. But all the
time old Granny Fox took the great
est care not to get too near to Jimmy
Skunk.
Where's my chicken?" snarled
old Granny Fox, and she looked very,
very fierce.
Jimmy Skunk looked UP q II very
much surprised. Hello, Granny
Foxr he exclaimed. Have you lost
a chicken?"
You've stolen til! You're a thief,
jimmy Skunk" snapped Granny
Fox.
Words can never make black white;
Before you speak be sure you're
right"
said Jimmy Skunk. I'm not a
thief"
You are" cried Granny, work.
ing herself into great rage.
I'm not!"
you are!"
All the time Jimmy Skunk was
chuckling to himself. and the more
he chuckled the angrier grew old
Granny Fox. And all the time
Jimmy Skunk Kept moving toward
old Granny Fox and Granny Fox
kept backing away, for like all the
other little meadow and forest peo-
pie she had a wholesome respect for
Jimmy Skunk's little bag of scent.
No. backing OF that way, she
couldn't see where she was going.
and the first thing she knew she had
backed into bramble brush, which
tore her skirts and scratched her
legs. "Ouch!" cried old Granny
Fox.
"Ha! ha! hal" laughed Jimmy
Skunk. That what you get for
