Don't tell lies for what you want,
Lies get you nowhere
Whenever the truth is covered with lies
Your work will be in vain;
The truth will whip that lie out;
You'll see that lie again.
You'll see they profit you nothing,
You'll see how much you've lost;
You sure will be surprised to know
How much lie will cost.
That lie will give you trouble,
You'll wish you had been true;
You'll lose your reputation,
And lose your money, too!
Agents, use clean competition

Offer good burial insurance
According to the rate they pay
Policyholders will have acted wisely,
Have death worries under control

the pinch on tobacco like cigarette
smokers as dealers here report de-
mand for tobacco mixtures is two to
three times the supply.
They say the situation is aggra-
waited by the fact many smokers are
rolling their own cigarettes, thus
putting a drain on favorite pipe
mixtures.

according to the Associated Press
have been frozen for several weeks
as jobbers work out a voluntary ra-
tioning program. No such action
has been taken here.
Manufacturers of two of the most
popular smoking tobaccos are sup
plying their outlets on an allotment
basis, one wholesaler reports here.
The remainder are distributing what
supplies they have without ra-
tioning.

Basis for Pay Bill
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

A study of the Federal wage sit
uation, so that Congress in passing
salary increase legislation may be
properly informed on the subject, is
the first order of business when the
Civil Service Committee resumes its
work.

that to expedite investigations ar
overall subcommittee of three, con-
sisting of himself and the two rank
| ing members, Representatives Ran
dolph of West Virginia and Reese OF
Kansas, will handle day-by-day
problems, direct the operation OF
investigators and decide the order
of work.
Mr.. Ramspeck explained that wag,
board employees have received basic
wage increases and full overtime ant
that this amounts to SO per cent oi
the problem.
Postal employees have had tempo.
rary wage increase of $500 a year
which amounts to from one-sixtn te
one seventh of their pay The Gov.

ough study of this situation and re-
port to Congress when salary legis-
