SURGEON PERFORMS A
SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
WITH JACK KNIFE
CORDOVA, Alaska, July 23. (JP)—
A tonsil operation was performed re
cently at Bering River on Controller
Bay, 60 miles east of here, by Dr. W.
W. Council of Cordova, with a jack
knife and denatured alcohol.
When Dr. Council arrived at Bering
River from a hunting trip he was
called on to handle the case. He had
no implements. With the crude out
fit he performed the operation with
success. No anesthetic was adminis
tered. The alcohol was used to ster
ilize the knife.
BRITISH ANXIOUS TO MAKE
ANOTHER CLIMB UP EVEREST
LONDON, July 23. (/P)—Addressing
the Royal Georgraphical Society’s
anniversary meeting, the president,
the Earl of Ronaldshay, said neither
the members of the late Mount Ev
erest Expedition, nor of the Mount
Everest committee were prepared to
admit defeat with regard to the con
quest of Everest.
The prospect of putting the mat
ter to the final test, he said, depend
ed upon the willingness, or otherwise,
of the Tibetan Government to grant
permission to another expedition,
rather than upon the readiness and
ability of the committee to organize
anJ oespatch it.
HELSINGFORS OPERA
** LOSES SOME MONEY
HELSINGFORS, July 23. (#)—*This
year’s season of the Helsingfors op
era has come to an abrupt close be
cause of a deficit of $20,000. Despite
an annual government subsidy of
600,000 Finnish francs and generous
public support there has been a def
icit the last few seasons.
THOUGHTFUL ARRANGEMENT
Fire alarm apparatus has been in
stalled in a church at Florence, Ala.,
so that city firemen may attend ser
vices, yet be subject to instant call
to duty. By this thoughtful arrange
ment, those who protect their fellow
men from fire in this world may be
given protection from file in the
world to come.
NEITHER WILL IT SPAWN FISH
Oratory, however eloquent, fails to
satisfy thecraving for material sus
tenance, as was demonstrated at
Memphis a few days ago. While a
delegate to the Tennessee Bar Asso
ciation meeting waxed warm in his
denunciation of the now famous anti
evolution law, his scientific and theol
ogical exposition was rudely inter
rupted by a resounding shout from a
hungry delegate inquiring “When do
we eat?” A motion to adjourn for
lunch was carried, leaving the oration
unfinished.
WOULDN’T COMMIT HIMSELF
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis,
czar of baseball, visited Nashville re
cently and paid homage to Andrew
Jackson in an after-dinner speech.
He made a hit with the Tenneseans
by declaring that “Old Hickory to
me as a boy became a bottle on which
I was nourished.” He also recalled
with glee Jackson’s remark that his
only regret was that he had not shot
Henry Clay and hanged John C. Cal
houn. The judge discretely refrain
ed from comment on evolution.
A DOG TO MATCH THE DRESS
According to the Blue Cross So
ciety, an organization for the pro
tection of animal life, the summer
fur craze is on the wane. There may
have been more idiotic fashions de
vised than that of -wearing fur in
summer time, but if so the news has
never leaked out.
CAMBRIDGE RESTRICTS USE
OF AUTOS BY STUDENTS
CAMBRIDGE, July 23. (/P)—String
ent regulations have been adopted by
the university authorities to prevent
motoring by undergraduates during
the morning because the noise dis
turbs lectures. A ban has also been
put on night “joy riding.”
Regulations adopted by the senate,
to become effective in October, pro
hibit the use of motorcars by under
graduates during their first term of
residence; the use of all motor ve
hicles by any students before noon,
and the use of motor vehicles after
8:30 p. m. in winter and 10 p. m.
in summer months.
HASHHOUSE STUFF.
The tendency of one line of busi
ness to encroach upon another has
had many manifestations in this
country, culminating in the modern
department store, which sells almost
everything under the sun. A timely
indication of a return to specialized
business effort is seen in a sign in a
restaurant in Eddiesville, Ky., which
reads: “We have made an arrange
ment with the bank. We cash no
checks and they sell no soap.”
PRECISELY, PRECISELY.
Two groups of enforcement officers
mistook each other for moonshiners
near Huntington, W. Va., and some
one opened fire, three being killed
in the gun battle wThich followed.
Comment on the occurrence would
be superfluous.
IT IS AWFUL, ALL RIGHT
The spectacle of women painting
and powdering in public is irritat
ing to some, but nothing arouses the
urge to throw a brick quite so read
ily as the sight of a would-be sheik
continually flipping back a long lock
of hair with a toss of the head.

IT THE
METHOD OF
MAIL ORDER
MERCHANDIZING
Mail order concerns de
mand cash in advance. They won't
take a chance. They won't trust you.
They are the “fair weather friends” of
merchandising.
If a local dealer treated you in the
same manner you would be madder than
a wet hen. But he doesn’t. If you desire
credit and are worthy of it, he will extend it
gladly. Then why not
Favor Dealers Who Will Favor You
Spot cash trading is of course the best
policy of purchasing. There are, however, times when
even those well heeled financially must resort to “credit”
buying. You may see the time when it will not be convenient for
you to “come across” with the cash. And when that time comes
the local merchetnt is the only one who will “accommodate” you. The mail
order house would turn you down cold. They want your business only when
they have your money in hand.
Unless you trade with home dealers when you have the
ready cash—don't ask for a “credit lift” in a pinch. It's not just. It's
net even common decency to expect your home town dealer to bear
the burden of your bills—when you refuse to do business with him when you
can do it on a spot cash basis.
By every reason of right your local merchants are entitled
to your patronage—every penny of it. They cater to your best inter
ests with the best brands of merchandise. Their quality standards are the
highest. Their lines are fresh—clean—right up to date in every particular.
Their prices mark the extreme limit of economical buying. They deal fairly.
Every dollar you spend with them buys actual value. None of it goes for ex
orbitant mail order expenses—costly catalogues—high salaried office workers. They don't
attempt to lead you on with merchandising “lures'—with low prices on one or a few articles
tben high prices on all other goods.
They want your business. They will do everything within
their means to earn your patronage. They must handle your account
with care. They can’t stand to lose trade—because their field is limited.
Even if they were inclined (which they are not) to employ underhanded methods, they couldn’t
afford to—because it would kill them commercially.
Turn trade to the dealer who in turn will treat you right Put your con
fidence in merchants who have confidence in you.
