'tt1-1- t' J DON'T GET BIT! IcffiflTwi ; ..' P-W-ell he is on the job again. Tho old familiar question of "Can I inter-est you in some beautiful blankets, dishes, or any of the thousands of1 .other things" which peddlers invari-ably endeavor to sell to the inexpori-nce-d buyer. .A beautiful sample is usually dis-played to the prospective buyer which .is far from the quality of the goods .which you are sold. " A sales talk .which is built for the sale of the ar--. tide on solid steel Is memorized word I for word by the peddler. How to avoid replies given by the housewife, how tor get into the house when un-wanted and a thousand other tricks are taught to these sidewalk mer-- . chants by the Jobbers who depend on .the house peddler for their business. , A recent article by the president of the New York stock exchange was very definite and specific in pointing out that the percentage of profit in .the peddler's merchandise is enorm-ous and that generally products of the house to house order taker tre inferior. Neither' the peddler nor lib firm leave any money with the town which . tht-- seek to take their living out nor' the state in which they labor. The more they sell the more local busi-ness loses. The more local business inse.s the lower local business taxes. The lower business taxes the higher .consumers'' tases. Figure it out for yourself. In order for us all to benefit to' the greatest extent possible, we should by all means and under every circum" stance see to it that the money which we earn is spent where it will bring tis the greatest return and also where we will have a chance to get it back - I , again. In this fall period of heavy buying we ask our readers to give our local merchants' their opportunity to serve their needs. Try the home town man first. It's ten to one you will get sa-tisfaction and value received. The man who own8 the store where you buy your goods will be on the Job the morning after he has sold you to guar - antee that his article is bs he told you it was when you bought it; he will , see to it that you are made a satis fied customer so that you will give him more of your business. You will find that he handles nationally ad-vertised good3 that are known for their quality and standard of price. Give your own home town merchaut the opportunity which he really is en-- ' titled too.

ROAD CON-STRUCTION The people of Bingham are mucii encouraged over the prospects of paved streets in Bingham Canyon, The road to the city limits was com-pleted last week and surveyors are busy laying out grades and establish-ing lines within the city. It is hoped by those who favor paving that ways and means will be found to extend paving far up Into the Canyon. This seems to be assured. The County has appyopriated $20,000 for this purpose and arrangements are being made by the city to finance the rest. rfoJ assessment or special tax will be levied on local property as it Is felt that by careful economic methods enough revenue will be available out of the general funds of the city to take care of the cost tf improvement. Considerable discussion has been carried jn a,s to the most suitable material to be used in the construc-tion of a hard surface road hew. Tarva or Blacktop, Gravetbound, Af-pha- lt or Concrete, all have been dis-cussed from the standpoint of est, safety, service, utility find conveni-ence. At the luncheon last week th- Kiwanls club went on record as cement concrete and a com-mittee was appointed to confer W.:h the City fn regard foi the matter. The Committee was received by the M 'y-o- r and Council on Thursday evening and received their assurance that ev-ery phase of the road construction problem would be given due consider-ation. Let everyone btfost for Bingham roads and while we may temporarily bo inconvenienced during its con-struction, It Is worth many times the inconvenience it will cost. In modern-izing and Improving our city in a per-manent way.

The Salt Lake County Republican convention will convene Saturday morning in Verne McCoulougb's fiyht arena for the purpose of nominating the Republican county ticket for the soming election. The officials of the party must have had a premonition that there would be some lively scrap-ping when they picked the arena for the battle. Rulon, Labrum ha3 announced his withdrawal as a candidate for renom-inatio- n on the board of county com-missioners and has given his follow-ers over to Mayor Ike Lester of Mur-ray. Just what the outcome of the county will be in the nomination for the county commission is a much mooted question and will not be set-tled until the curtain la rung down and the votes are counted. It is anticipated that the hottest firht in years will be over selection of the RepupHcn candidate for County Attorney. There are only two who figure in the race at this time. These men are NOrval CalHster and the present incumbent of the office, Wal-lace Kelley, both candidates are work-ing hard at this time for the togan and because of the fact that Kelley has been .sort of a rebel to the party in his term of office it 1.3 thought that for party harmony he will be defeated for the nomination foT the office. There is also a battle on for the county chairmanship A number of prominent men in the organization seem to be out after the scalp of Jesse Sharp and who can tell but that they may get it Nobody knows just how the tide of battle will go until the smoke has cleared away and the votes are counted After all the element of fight is the one that makes for better politic in the county, state and nation. It Is up to the "outs." SOCCER SEASON OPENS.
