Every rJay of your life you exchange real money for certain products or services that you believe are "good as gold." You must have confidence in their merit -or - your exchange is a gamble; a blind horse-trade that may mean loss. The products you know best the articles that rep resent the greatest value are usually the products you have seen advertised. 1 Only honest products can thrive in the light of pub licity. The honest dealer advertises his faith in his pro ducts to the world. Read the advertisements and buy advertised pro ducts. There is no other way to get more "good for your gold"! . . .

At a certain point In the lecture the collectors received th offering, the room still remain ing quite dark. The narrator says when the collection plate reached him after having been handed along by fifty or sixty persons It had only about 19 cents In It and he held back the silver dollar which he had expected to give snd fished out a nickel for th plate. He said:' "If forty or fifty folks, after listening to that splendid lecture couldn't contrib ute mora than 15 or 20 cents, my silver dollar might tempt some on to stesl It from the plat, so I chipped In s nickel snd played safe." Polf Daniels In Howard Courant Introduction ot Straw Hate The recent heat Introduce! th subject of straw hats and straw hat stories. In 1798 a chancellor of the exchequer Imposed a duty on hats.

But an Edinburgh merchant astute enough to observe that straw was not included In th legal enumeration of materials nsed. Introduced straw hats In Scot land for the first tune, early In th maimer of 1708. Unfortunately for th enterprising hatter, an amend ment to the act within a few weeks, rendered the popular tax evading novelty liable to payment The act. which remained In force until 1811, allowed exemption to nightcaps.

Extensive improvements to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, including berthing spare for 16 battleships, were rec ommended to house committee on naval affairs today bv Representa tive Stephens. Republican, Ohio, senior member of the special con gressional committee that visited the Islands last summer. A naval pier for San Diego, Cat., also was urged and the special committee said congress should appropriate money for this pur pose. It waa explained that the navy could not continue to use one of the municipal piers there with out crippling the clty'i commerce. Among the projects recommend ed for Pesrl Harbor were straight ening of the harbor, an adequate number of piers, sea walla, addi tional drydoeka and Improvements In the facilities for maintenance work. Alabaman Appointed. President Coolldge decided today to give the south representation on the Interstate Colnmerce Com mission. He nominated Richard V. Taylor of Alabama, to succeed C. C. McChord, who resigned. The President resubmitted to the senste the nomination of Thomss Woodlock of New York, who is serving ss sn Interstate Commerce commissioner under re cess sppolntment The senate last spring declined to approve Mr. Woodtork'a nomination. May Aid the League. The present inclination in offi cial circles here Is to either send sn official American representative to take part In preparations for the League of Nations disarmament conference or else remain outside of th negotiations altogether. It waa disclosed authoratlvelv today that there la no thought of resorting to in "unofficial ob server" as a means of cooperating with tbe league. I It appears likely that If an American representative ia aent to the preliminary meeting, no formal congreaalonal approvaj of that course will be sought 8hould th administration decide to go Into the conference Itself, however, con gress will be asked to authorise It.

Repeal of the flexible provisions of the tariff act, which allows th President to make certain read justments of rates, was proposed In a bill Introduced today by Re presentative Hull, Democrat of Tennessee. Sugar Pill For Farmer. Describing the administration bill as " sugar pill", Represen-' tatlve Dickinson, Republican, of Iowa, gave notice that several ad ditional proposals, contemplating regulation of sales of surplus crops and creation of an export commission would be brought to the attention of the house. Mr. Dickinson described the ad ministration bill as a remedy that "may be, soothe for the moment and do no harm." although it would not fully meet the situa tion. Proposals aimed to regulate sales of surplus crops will include one sdvanced by C. R. Noyes, pre sident of the St. Paul Association, which propones a bounty on ex ports. Another .scheme will come up. Representative Dickinson said, proposing creation of an export commission with authority to make loans to foreign countries desiring to purchase certain food commodities. If these and other plana are presented to the agri culture committee, he predicted a "sound legislative program can be adopted by that body with short hes rings." "Unless this Is done," he con tinued, "I am gravely concerned over the situation In the middle west, both economically and poli tically." "Leading economists of the country have prophesied that the present Indicationa point to a long and lean period for agriculture, some say six years: some ssy IS years. If this depression lasts three years longer, it will not be confined to the Mississippi valley but will be knocking at the door of every interest which haa any business connection with the peo ple of that section of our coun try."
