"Good Water a Necessity in Every Home”
JOHN NELSON, Manager, WAYNE BLUE, Agent
OFFICE ARCADE BUILDING
CHARGE IS DENIED
WASHINGTON, March 19.—Senator
Bursum, republican, New Mexico, de
nied recently in the senate charges
now under investigation by the de
I partment of justice that he improp
erly used his influence before a
government agency in connection
with efforts to sell American cattle
in Mexico in 1923.
Reciting that he had gone to Mex
ico in that year at his own expense
t to effect a sale of cattle on behalf
of the Livestock and Agricultural
Loan company of Albuquerque, a
state corporation, and individual
local banks in Mexico, Senator Bur
sum said he failed to consummate
the sale because the Mexicans could
not furnish cash.
“At no time,” he said, “did I make
any request of any governmental
department, bereau or agency, in
writing verbally, either directly or
indirectly, either on my own behalf
or through any other person, to do
anything whatsoever in relation to
the sale of cattle, or the purchase j
or the payment in any matter or
connection therewith.
"Neither did I at any time rep-1
resent or make request whatsoever
of before any government, bereau
or agency, or in behalf of said
Livestock and Agricultural Loan
company, regarding any matter
whatsoever, nor the acceptance of
any securities by the government in
connection with such sale.
IDAHO FAILS TO PASS
ANTI-ALIEN LAND BILL
BOISE, Ida., March 19.—By a vote
of 29 to 30 the house of represent
atives of the legislature recently
tailed to pass the anti-alien land
bill designed, according to its farm
ers, to prohibit the leasing of land
to Japanese farmers before Decem
ber 31, 1928.
There was much debate on the
measure, particularly as to what
possible effect passage would have
on Japanese-American relations.
Representative Anderson of Bing
ham county, speaking against the
bill, suggested “that we can learn
much from the Japanese.’’
“They are a thrifty people and
we cannot get any one to do the
work they will,” he said. “No one
will do the tedious wrork in the su
gar beet fields that the Japanese
will do.
Representative Jones of Benwah
! county said he believed the question
one which no state had a right to
discuss, but that it was a national
question entirely.
John Zunino was found dead in his
filthy shack at Hoboken, N. J. where
a search revealed money, bonds and
jewelry worth §100,000.
John Tateniuk, before his execu
tion at Winnipeg, Canada, married
Sarah Kupek, so that she might re
ceive the government’s grant provid
ed for widows of hanged men.
Tapping of church bells at Bain
bridge, Ga., js reported to have been
a means of warning bootleggers of the
approach of enforcement officers.
Lieut Richard Cartwright was freed
of forgery charges at St. Paul, Minn.,
because of his heroic war record with
the Canadian forces, and left for his
home in Winnipeg.

If I Had Only
Known
TWO WOMEN went out to buy a certain expen
sive labor-saving device for the home.
One was greatly disappointed when, a few days
later, they compared notes. She had bought the
same product that many of her friends had owned.
The other woman had secured a greatly im
proved, new product—costing less, but of much more
value.
“If I had only known there was a better one,”
the first woman said, “I would never have bought
this old one.”
“I had just read about it in an advertisement,”
explained the wise buyer.
Every day you miss good news of an improve
ment in different articles of merchandise—unless
you read our advertisements. They tell you of prac
tically every worth-while invention—of every pro
gress from the old to the new.
Read the advertisements—regularly. Know all
about the thing you are going to buy before you buy
it. It will save you disappointment, money and time.
THE BETTER A PRODUCT IS—THE SOONER
YOU WILL SEE IT ADVERTISED

Federal Regulation of
Cooperative Marketing
Meets With Opposition
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 18—
Opposition to federal regulation of
marketing agencies was voiced today
before the senate agriculture com
mittee by Walton Peteet, secretary
of the National Council of Coopera
tive Marketing agencies.
“Any plan for federal regulation
is objectionable to farmers’ organiza
tion,” Mr. Peteet said, “because it is
feared they would be discriminated
against in being brought under fed
eral jurisdiction, which doesn’t apply
to the business life of the country
as a whole.
“Experience has taught that co
operatives should be organized and
owned by the farmers; that the or
ganization must raise naturally out
of natural needs and that it is not
wise to have artificial stimulation
or interference by government agen
cies, no matter how mild or benefi
cient.”
When we say people spend their
money foolishly, we mean they spend
it for the things we’d like to have.
Correct this sentence:“Of course he
doesn’t drink, child,” said the man,
“he’s a public official.”
Character enables a man to stand
alone, but it’s reputation that enables
him to get a loan.
