Southern Utah residents have been warned to be on the lookout for a man giving the name of R. Nelson Matteson, who is alleged to have perpetrated frauds under the guise of being a chamber of commerce representative. The warning has been received here from the Virginia state chamber of commerce of Richmond, Va., where Matteson has recently operated. The communication states that Mattesons plan is to approach chambers of commerce with advertising plans, ask local business men to let him take pictures and on the strength of this connection, borrow money. He also operated in St. Louis, Missouri Matteson is believed to be headed toward this section of the country. He is described as being about 37 years of age, six feet two inches tall, and weighs about 190 pounds. He has a prominent nose, dark, coarse skin and was driving a 1926 Dodge roadster, the license number of which is 27C9, issued by the District of Columbia. He is wanted for grand larceny in Virginia.. 9 S f First State Bank OF SALINA Utah Salina H. S. GATES CRANDALL H. B. President Cashier Vice-Preside- nt E. V. JOHNSON Assistant Cashier the federal government should not continue with all needed improvement works that give employment, but merely that it should not engage in the handing out of charity. There may be communit'es too poor to take care of their citizens who are in need, but probably there is no state that is unable to give emergency aid in such localities. Let us not thrust our hands any farther into Uncle Sams pockets. Their bottom has about been reached. UNCLE SAMS LIMIT ABOUT REACHED. If the Federal government were to enter into the business of supplying rel ef to the destitute on a nation-de scale tne effect would be to slow down the various forms of local and individual help for the unfortunate, .aintains Walter S. Gifford, director cf President Hoovers organization for he aid of unemployment, and the net effect would be less help for the needy rather than more, he contends. 1 here is a good deal of sense in at argument. There is a widespread belief that the Federal treasury is a ow w th an inexhaustible supply of ..ilk, and there is a growing tendency to place as many of our local burdens on the shoulders of Uncle Sam as that overladen gentleman can be induced, by hook or crook, to bear.
