“Barnum Was Right” THE one and only P. T. Barnum is alleged to have said many things that never found their way into our copybooks ... things to which few of us would wish to subscribe. But he uttered a profound truth when he said: “If you don’t advertise your business, the sheriff will.” Firms which intend to stay in business, that is, firms which deal directly with the public, must advertise. By the same token, it is a sign that they mean to stay in business when they do advertise. For they are offering, through advertisements, the values in their stores. You, the customer, will decide whether or not they are values. If they are not, it is “just too bad” for the firm that claimed they were. Don’t you see, therefore, that no mercChant can afford to misrepresent himself or his goods in print? Advertising merely magnifies a misrepresentation—brings the fatal day nearer. Naturally, then, you can trust the advertisements in this paper. You can believe that the stores signing those advertisements want your trade, and are willing to earn itwith honest values and fair treatment. Read the advert isements. Patronize the advertisers. It is to your selfish interest to do so.

UTILITY SUITS MUST BE TRIED Attack On Utility Holding Company Law Must Be Tried Washington, Juno 22—<U.R>—The United States court of a.ppeals today reversed a lower court ruling granting a stay in suitn attacking the constitutionality of the Wheel-er-Rayburn utility holding company act. As a result the suits brought by the North American company and the American Waterworks and Electric company must go on trial. The stay order, granted |by district supreme court justice | Jennings Bailey, was to have been 1 effective pending a decision in the Electric Bond and Share company case by the supreme court of the United States. The stay was requested by Attorney General Homer S. Cummings who pleaded that the multiplicity of auits would "break down the rnachin-1 cry of the justice department." I There are 48 similar suits filed in the federal courts of the nation. | Speaking for the circuit court of appeals here Justice Josiah A. Vanorsdel said "although an equity count has wide discretion tn the public interest in the exercise of its jurisdiction, yet it may stay its hand and private rights will suffer.” The courst held that the govern-
