D., Nov. 14 —(United Press. > —Gov. W, H. McMaster today i eriewed his war on gasoline prices. In the face of an increase of two cents a gallon announced by the Standard Oil company, bring the retail price to 17 1-2 cents, McMaster ordered the state highway depot to sell gas at 16 cents. The advance price was necessary, the Standard Oil company said, “in order to equalize prices with the rest of the country." McMaster, in announcing the state of South Dakota would again sell gasoline in competition with the- retire ry. said the price increase "is unjust and unwarranted.” McMaster opened a campaign on higher prices in August when gasoline was Being sold at 28 cents a gallon throughout the state. When his price of 15 1-2 cents was met by the Standard Oil and independent campanies, he stopped selling gas. Today t the war was on again and the governor said he would continue his campaign until his price was met. Magnus .Johnson Wants Nuisance Tax Explained Minneapolis, Nov. 14 — (United Press. I—Magnus Johnson. newly elected United States senator from Minnesota, today y challenged Secretary of the Treasury Mellon to define "nuisance taxes." "Sec retary Mellon is right witty) he says nuisance taxei should be repealed, but what does he mean by ‘Nuisance taxes?' ” fohnenn said in an interview with the United Press. He may figure the excess profits is a nuisance to the war profiteers ami the millionaires. If he means repeal of the excess profits tax. 1 think he will see quite a fight in congress. "The real nuisance tax. as 1 see it, is the direct tax on the people.” “Take tlie movies for an example. The people? pay three, five or ton c-cnts extra for entertainment and they ca.ll it tax. If there's going to be a tax for the movies, (t should be levied on! the theatre magnates' profits.” Mrs of .'lofmouth. is a patient at the Adams County Mem-i orial hospital. Mrs. Bchieferttein en-j jtered the hospital yesterday.

DRY GOODS MEN MEET NOV. 15 State Retail Dry Goods Association Holds (’onyention In Indianapolis. On Thursday, November 15, the Seml-AnnunF Convention of the retail dry goods and ready to wear interests of the state, represented in the Indiana Retail Dry Goods Association, will meet in convention at the Lincoln Hotel, Indianapolis. The entire day will be given over to a discuss'on of the problems confronting the retail dry goods and ready to wear merchants, of which problems there are many at the present time. The meeting will conclude with a Smoker in the evening. It has been found that a convention of this nature, participated in only by the merchants themselves, has been conducive of many benefits. An all day discussion of store problems embracing every phase of the stores' activities gives the merchant attending the convention the solution of the problems confronting him by learning how other merchants solve the same problems. Jn view of the present trade conditions in the retail dry goods and ready to wear lines this convention is most important, and no doubt will be attended by all of the representative and progressive merchants of the state. An invitation is extended to every retail dry goods and ready to wear merchant in Indiana to attend the convention whether he is a member of the Indiana Retail Dry Goods Association or not. Dan M. Niblick, of the Niblick &j Company store, left this morning forj Indianapolis to attend a meeting of the board of directors of the Indiana Retail Dry Goods Association, of which he is a member. Mr. Niblick was elected a director last summer. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and death of < ur mother, Catherine Thompson.
