expresses the truth. The use of'
"limited quantity" is encouraged 1

"Fortunate purchase and manufac-1
turers* overstock" may not be used :
to stimulate interest in goods from
regular stock, and when used must;
apply truthfully to conditions.
When goods are advertised that
were bought below the market price |
the phrases "regular price should!
be" or "made to sell for" may be
"used. "Half price." "one-third off" j
and similar phrases are only permit-;

Farmers Protect
Fox Dens to Reap
Hunters' Reward
(Special to Washington Herald.)
Warrenton, Va., Aug. 13.?Some of
the landowners near The Plains,
Va., are expressing much concern
over the recent but rapidly growing
industry of raising foxes for the
Orange County Hunt Club in that
locality.
The club, which has had its Virginia
headquarters there for some
years, offers a reward of $25 each to
any one on whose land the fox is
either started or run to ground.
One farmer is said to be protecting
and feeding five dens, and has
stopped raising turkeys because the
foxes are much more profitable.
Meanwhile adjoining landowners
say they are losing their chickens,
turkeys, and even pi?ts. with no
prospect of redress unless a fox
happens to be run down on their
land. The club assumes no responsibility
for the depredations of the
foxes. The farmers fear that the
nuisance may get beyond control if
not checked, but the foxes at this
season are protected by law as well
as in consideration of the reward
offered for them.

asked for consent to raise the rent

was denied, an increase of $100 or
80 per cent being allowed.
A like request was made by Rees
in the case of William H. Waters,

rent to $225 a month. The former
figure was $125.

9SUPER-SUBS
FOR U. S. NAYY
Bids for Six of Giant Craft
Opened at Navy Department
Yesterday.
(Public Ledfrr Ifrrlct.)
Bids were opened yesterday for
the construction of six super-submarines
to complete the fleet of
nine which the Navy is to have.
Three are already under construction
at ths Portsmouth, N. H., Navy
yard.
The new underwater boats, which
are to embody all of the lessons
learned by our naval designers durj
ing the war. will be more than 300
feet long, with a besm in excess
of 27 feet and so built as to be
virtually self-sustaining and capa,
ble of accompanying the fleet on
long cruises. The specifications call
| for a speed of either 22 or 21 knots
j on the surface whic h equals the
| power developed by many of our
; dreadnaughts.
The boats will be propelled by
| oil engines and by motors operated
! on storage batteries. They will be
equipped with efficient radio outi
flts, listening devices and submarine
I signaling apparatus and are so designed
that they tan be completely
submerged in a very short space of
time and will be capable of operat-'
ing at great depths.
The bids ranged from $5,057,000
! to 13,590.000 for each vessel. The
| Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation
I submitted the lowest bid. which was
contingent upon the award of the
! full contract for all six vessels to it.

Effort Expose
Public Warn
( Rr I nlvrrMl Service. I
The public is being urged to rej
bel vigorously against any attempt
i on the part of dealers to increase
| unduly the price of commodities on
I account of the new freight rates
about to be put Into force through
the Interstate Commerce Commisj
sion.
"For instance," warns W. J.
! Lauek, economist for the railroad
> labor organization, "by no possible
I computation can the increased
'freight rates be made to justify an
, increase of one cent per pound in
j the price of meat, or flve cents per
pair in the price of shoes, or ten
{rents in the price of a suit of
j?lothes, or one-fourtl. of one cent
in price of a loaf of bread Hence
j the forces of government should be
on guard to sre that no unjustifi
able burden is imposed on the

rolling tactics of legislative procei
dure. But the suffragists achieved
f the political feat of forcing twentyi
nine special sessions of State legis!
latures at which the amendment
, was ratified.
Wisconsin. Illinois and Michigan
! l'ought for the honor of being the
! first to ratify. All acted on June
| 10, 1910. An error in certification
! prevented the Illinois ratification
from becoming official until June 17.
Kan*an Solon* Sacrificed.
Kansas followed. It was th^ first
, full suffrage State to act. Members
j of the legislature paid their own ex|
penses and served without salary
during the special session ending on
I June 16 in unanimous action by
I b'?th House and Senate. California's
ratification on November 1
| marked the passing of the halfj
way mark in the struggle for thirI
ty-six States.
In twelve States the vote for ratification
was unanimous. They were
Michigan. Kansas. New York, Ne|
braska, Utah. South Dakota. ColI
orado. Oregon. Wyoming, Nevada,
j Arizona and Washington. In seven
j States?Illinois. Texas, Iowa. Montana,
California. Indiana and Idaho

Spectacular fights were staged in
many yStates. In New Mexico the
