Smelting Firm Will
Reopen Case Against
’Frisco Mining Man
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4. (£>)—
The American Smelting & Refining
company, against which judgment
recently was sustained on appeal to
the United States supreme court in
a singling pucnt infringement suit
pressed by Geo.ce Campbell Carson,
San Fianobcc mining man, yesi-'r
day app'iel to United States circuit
court o* ap:*-:»ls tor permission to
petitio.: United States district
court at Seattle for leave to file a
petition for reopening the Carson
case.
The Seattle district court on Jan
uary 16, 1924, dismissed Carson’s
suit as without merit. On February
16, 1925 the circuit court reversed
the Seattle court and in April, denied
the defendant company’s petition for
re-hearing. The case consequently
was appealed to the United Staates
supreme court which upheld Car
son’s claim. Carson, an elderly man
of moderate means, says that the
American Smelting & Refining com
pany for five years has used a
smelting process and machinery pat
ented by him.

DENOMINATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
NOW OPERATING 600 HOSPITALS
CHICAGO, Dec. 4. (JP)—The 600
hospitals operated under the auspices
of denominational institutions having
a property and endowment valuation,
of $30,000, are cited as evidence of
a unification of common religious
objectives and an adjustment of dif
ferences.
“Theological dogma has found com
mon ground in our attempt to meet
a world need for physical and social
reconstruction,” said Dr. N. E. Davis,
president of the American Protes
tant Hospital Association. “The As
sociation has developed a mutual
dependence among the many reli
gious organizations, which has aid
ed in unifying our objectives.”

j SETTES DOWN TO FARM LIFE
NOGALES, Ariz., Dec. 4. (£>)—
General Alvaro Obregon, former pres

of a farmer.
He has extensive land holdings in
the state of Sonora, and makes his
home in Navajoa. It is reported that
he has invested approximately $1,
500,000 in land.
General Obregon also is working
on development plans and has con
sulted America capitalists regarding
the building of a dam on the Mayo
river. The project would bring many
thousands of acres under irrigation.
The cost has been estimated at 25,
000,000 pesos.
That Jupiter’s five moons are now

If You Are Doing Business
Mail Order Concerns
If you are sending your cash out of town—doing business
with mail order concerns—keep mum about the growth—the indus
tries—the advantages or beauty of the town. You have no boast coming. It
is a good town not because of you, but in spite of you,
If you are not a Homs Trader You are a
Traitor to the Best Interests of the Town
This community is made up of individuals. Its prosperity
depends on individual effort. # If you send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you injure the town—and yourself.
When you buy from a mail order concern—your money is
gone for good. Not one red cent of it ever comes back. None of
it pays for taxes. None of it pays store rent, clerk hire—or does a blessed
one of the dozens of things accomplished by home-spent money.
Suppose everyone in this city sent away for their mer
chandise. The town would go to rack and ruin. You wouldn’t be
able to give property away. There would be little employment for labor.
Schools—churches—everything of a public nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason why anyone should deal with mail order
concerns. Your home town merchant carries the best grades of merchandise
on the market. They are goods of recognized merit. They are sold at
practically one price the world over. You know you are getting full value m
quality. The biggest manufacturers in the country insure that with their
trademarks. Your purchases are protected. There is no buying dissatisfaction
—long waits—long distance return costs—or delivery charges.
Your dealer appreciates your patronage. ‘ He puts forth
every effort to hold your trade. He becomes intimately acquainted
with your likes and dislikes—consequently can serve you in the most satisfac
tory manner. And to top off all of these important advantages—your local
merchant can save you money. |
E=E
By all means talk up your town—but first win the right to
speak by spending your money at home. It is the solid worth of home
spent money — not words that establishes the public wealth and welfare
of the community.
Donate to the good of the town by trading IN town—and get the greatest value for your dollars*
