Magney'Hears of Bfost In Price of Cigarets Cmplaints have been made to County Attorney Maguey that Omaha cigar stores have formed a combine and raised prices on cigarets. It was said several dealers, principally the chain stores, who did not favor the raise, were told the anti-cigaret law would be envoked if they did not get into line. """Whether they raised prices or not it is a well knowrifact they are vio lating a state law," said the county at torney. "The statutes provide a fine of $50 to $100 for anyone selling or giving away cigarets, or cigaret pa pers, this law is separate irom the one pertaining to the sale of ciga rets to minors." Users of the little paper smokes recently found a nickel had been added onto the price of their favor ite brands. Packages of cigarets which used to sell for 10 cents now cost IS cents in the retail stores. The 15-cent brands were boosted to 20 cents. Dealers said the ""wholesalers raised on them."

MERCHANTS LIMIT RETDRNOF GOODS Climax Conws When Woman Tries to Give Back Hat of Her Dead Mother-in-Law. When a woman attempts to return to a retail store, the hat of her dead mother-in-law, and get back the cash that was paid for the hat sometime before, that is just too much for an Omaha retailer. One Omaha retailer had such an experience. He told it to the directors of the Associated Retailers of Omaha in their last meeting. They had no trouble then in voting through a res olution agreeing on certain articles of merchandise they will not take back when once sold and delivered to a customer. The woman who sought to return the hat, purchased some considerable time before, was sent to the general manager of the store. There it de veloped that it was not her hat, but the hat of her mother-in-law. She er lady to return it. "Now," said the manager, "I'll tell you what I'll do. 111 take that hat back and refund the money, when your mother-in-law in person brings it in here." Has Knowing Wink. He winked his eye at the stenog rapher when he made this clever re mark. After the woman had gone grum bling from the room, the manager ex plained to the stenographer that he happened to know the family, and happened to know that the mother-in-law had died three days before. The mother-in-law had worn the hat as long as she lived, and when she died the daughter-in-law attempted to sell back her old hat to the store from whence it came. For the last few years the Associ ated Retailers of Omaha have been trying to overcome the return-goods evil. The commercial economy board, through the Council of National De fense, is now asking definitely that the retailers put a stop to the return goods evil. The government hold that certain articles should under no cir cumstances be returned, for various obvious reasons. , Adopt Some Rules. The directors of the Omaha assoei- I Did You Know It?
