THE MANY EXPLOSIONS
WASHINGTON', D. C„ Oct. 16.—
The ’.Tilted States government is
inclining to the belief that so many

plants, accompanied by fires and
other results, have recently occur
red that there is no doubt any long
er that all of these have been in
cendiary.
The officials are now planning to
stop these mysterious explosions
which have defied the best efforts
of the federal agents to prevent or
to solve.
A system is scon to he inaugur

The Nonpareil
The Big Store With Little Prices
Mens Hats
$2.25
The following letter is selfexplaintory:
J. I. HARDMAN' HAT CO.. Seattle, Wash., August, 10th, 1917.
THE NONPAREIL, Nome, Alaska.
Gentlemen:—Owing to conditions in the Hat Market, we are
compelled to advance the price on all felt hats.
There is every indication of further advances in the cost of
hats, and we most sincerely urge that you change the retail
price of the Hardman Hats on hand to .$4.00 immediately.
Yours Truly J. I. HARDMAN HAT CO.
OUR PRICE
$ 2.2S
WE TELL OUR CUSTOMERS
THE TRUTH.
As far as we know the truth.
If candor and straight-forwardness is going to deprive us
of an individual sale we may safely conclude that the sale better
be sacriiiced than that the ehareter of our store bo placed in
jeopardy.
There is but one basis upon which the relations between
the merchant and customer may be safely placed and that is
upon the foundation of confidence.
One lie may not destroy that foundation but it develops a
fracture that require many more lies to conceal that the struc
ture is bound to disintegrate.
We must pay a certain market price for our goods and
we must sell same at a little more than what we pay for them
to be able to maintain our structure effiiciently and to pre
serve same in order to aid in the present and future develop
ment of our community.

explosives will have to have a li
cense and will have to account for
every pound sold by them. Further
more every person desiring to buy
explosives of any sort from nitrate
powder to dynamite or nitro-glyce
rin must hold a license admitting
such a one to buy for his own use
a definite amount of this materia).
In this way the govcrnmei t
reckons that it will be able to keep
track of all explosives and lo"
what purpose they are used.
