UNCLE SAM’S HOT STUFF
Another fine example of government bureaucracy .is
seen in a recent warning by the Federal Trade Commis
sion addressed to the Durant (Okla.) Weekly News, which
had been doing battle for home merchants against mail
order houses.
The News had published an offer of a year’s subscrip
tion to anyone who would deliver at its office a mail order
catalogue of the weight of two ponds or more. Of
course the idea was merely to emphasize the advisability
of buying at home and incidentally to get the catalogues
out of the way.
But the Federal Trade Commission ruled that this
was interfering with business of the mail order houses
and ordered the News to stop buying catalogues. This zeal
to “protect” the poor, downtrodden mail order houses is
truly touching. Really, it is hot stuff.
At any rate, we now know how sacred is the mail or
der catalogue. It may be neither bought nor sold. It
might be adjudged high treason to consign it to the garb
age can. In order to safely avert the wrath of the Fed
eral Trade Commission it would be well to keep it in a
glass case.
Claims of aggrieved ladies suing for alimony run into
millions. And those old Dawson stampeders thought they
were gold-diggers.
A Senator declares that short sessions of Congress
involve an enormous waste of public money. But what of
the long ones?

Bacon is at its best immediately after
the curing process has been fully
completed — and the great Frye
Plant adds efficiency of distribution
to skill in preparation. That is why
this unusually fine Bacon is "every
thing the name implies.”
Each day’s production of Frye’s
"Delicious” Brand Bacon is care
fully adjusted to meet exactly the
daily demand in the territory it
serves.
