SEARS-ROEBUCK IS HELD UNFAIR

FEDERAL TRADE BODY FORBIDS SALE OF COMMODITY BELOW COST. Washington, D. C., June 30.—The federal trade commission announced today the issuance of an order forbidding Sears, Roebuck & Co., to continue “unfair methods of competition,” in selling sugar below cost and in misrepresenting its teas and coffees. The practices the company is ordered to cease are: “1. Circulating catalogues containing advertisements of sugar for sale wherein it is falsely represented that because of large purchasing power and quick moving stock the company is able to sell sugar at a lower price than its competitors. “2. Selling or offering to sell sugar below cost, throagh catalogues circulated throughout the country. “3. Circulating catalogues containing advertisements representing that its competitors do not deal fairly, honestly, and justly with their customers.

“4. Circulating catalogues containing advertisements offering its teas for sale, in which advertisements it is falsely stated that the company sends a special representative to Japan, who personally goes into the tea gardens of that country and personally supervises the picking of the tea.” “5. Circulating catalogues containing advertisements offering coffee for sale in which it is falsely stated that the company purchases all of its coffees directly from the best plantations in the world.” “It was admitted,” says the commission, “that the company has offered sugar for sale at 3 to 4 cents a pound through advertisements in catalogues in which it was represented that Sears, Roebuck & Co., because of its ability to make large purchases and move its stock quickly, was able to sell sugar at a lower price than others could; that such advertisements Were false apd misleading, as the company sold such sugar at less than cost in all cases, and the offer to sell was limited to a definite quantity of sugar.”

FIRST SUNDAY EVENING UNION SERVICE

The first vesper service of the Protestant church of the cjty was held in the Gayety theatre Sunday evening. A beautiful custom has prevailed in this city for a number of years among the Protestant ehurehes in the matter of Sunday evening services. During the summer months union services have been held on the court house lawn. Each preacher would take his turn and deliver a sermon when called upon. Visiting ministers and other speakers are often invited to address these meetings. Sunday evening was the first service of the series this year, was held in the Gayety theatre. Possibly the other vesper services of the year will be held there also. This is a very comfortable place and is away from the noise which often detracted from the interest of the outdoor meetings. The service Sunday night was very largely attended. The music was in charge of the Presbyterian church choir. In addition to the leading of the singing of a number of songs there was two solos. They were Beautifully rendered and very greatly appreciated by the audience. The solos were given by Loren Sage and Anna Leonard. Dr. J.

PURDUE INVITES FARMERS TO VISIT TRAINING CAMP

Farmers of Benton, Carroll, Cass, Fountain, Fulton, Jasper, Marshall, Newton, Pulaski, Starke, Tippecanoe, Warren and White counties, Have been asked to visit the Purdue training camp where Indiana members of the United States Boy’s Working Reserve are receiving an intensive course in agricultural training, and make arrangements with them to take employment. A circular issued to the agents of the boy’s reserve in these counties suggest that farmers, whether in need of a boy’s services or not, make an inspection of this camp before July 8, in order that its benefits to the boys and proposed service to the farmers, may be fully appreciated. ... Although these young men will not be Purdue graduates, it is expected that this course will • give them an advantage over the untutored and non-experienced city boy that will commend them for more responsible positions in agricultural work. Their earning power is to be appraised accordingly. In extending the invitation, Isaac D. Straus, federal state director, says to the agents, “The success of this venture will be determined largely by the co-operation we receive from men of your type in helping to place these boys with farmers who need help, and who will be appreciative of the type of fellows they are receiving.” , Dean Skinner, of Purdue University, has agreed to serve as an intermediary between the boys and their prospective employers, and in this manner the reserve expects to be protected against all who may not fully appreciate the patriotic spirit that has actuated the boys and influenced their desire to do work of this kind.

Farmers—You know about the service we give you. You can get all International Harvester Co. repairs of us. Every effort will be made to assist you. Call us on phone if after closing hours. KELLNER & CALLAHAN.
