Editorial notes warm weather prompts home repair drives and warns of itinerant salesmen. A Kansas attorney general warning cites a new tactic where first a high priced offer is refused then a second salesman returns with a lower price to entice buyers.
The attorney general warns that perceived bargains by itinerant salesmen are illusory as both salesmen may work for the same firm. Safeguards exist via building codes, registration, and mail or phone sales, but many can be dodged. The homebuyer’s best defense is common sense, comparing prices, and recognizing the salesman may vanish tomorrow while the local merchant depends on ongoing trust.
An engineer from the U S Corps of Engineers reports eastern Kansas soaked after heavy rains. The Marais des Cygnes River flood risk lessened this year, thanks to the Pomona Reservoir which holds back waters and eases danger for Ottawa and surrounding towns.
