When goods sell at price with profit
labor receives what it is worth proper
tionately. You cannot expect to raise
plum trees by planting peach stones.
You can't expect that high wages are GO
Ing to be paid for goods so cheap that
they must be disposed OF at q loss. But
hold on. beg the pardon of the other
persons at the tea table this evening for
suggesting an argument of the economic
question.
i heard OF a "labor exchange place on
Mathewson street where IL you want o
loaf OF bread you bring q spool Of thread
and paper of pins in exchange. IL you
want peck Of potatoes you leave a
broom, or agree to wash some windows,
or do something in exchange for the
same. Great schemel i suppose whe
the landlord wants his rent he PROPOSE
tion is to feed his horse on oats to the
amount of the bill. No money, as un-
dcrstand, passes, and no money drawer is
needed. IL perchapce they 'sho uld run
across money drawer they would possi-
bly, trade 1t off for some straw berries. /
understand this is the first labor exchange
of the kind in New England.
Cory Brothers Company's piano ware
rooms are at 397 Westminster street, and
are filled with instruments of the popu-
lar makes. There Is no need to mention
names, as names don't count so much
nowadays as quality and tone. You can
obtain piano which will be satisfactory
every way by calling at the above men
toned establishment.
1t is wonderful what improvements are
going on in different parts of the city
which are hardly realized by the local
resident. The new telephone building is
one, the new Hanley block, to say moth
ing of the new buildings on Westminster
and Weybosset streets. / was going
through Aborn street yesterday afternoon
and noticed new building being rapidly
finished on that thorough hfare.
just across the street was the old Aborn I
Street Swimming School. 1 rememb ber |
the last time was in there, several years |
ago, when Miss Beckwith was diving and |
swimming about and staying under water |
so long that her audience became alarmed. |
Today 1t is all changed about. Mr.. |
Frank Arnold, very popular young /
man, has leased the building for 10 years
and opened, at considerable expense, n
bowling hall for ladies and gentlemen. |
The alleys are the finest In New England |
and fitted with every suggestive modern
Improvement. A most animated scene
may be seen every evening from the
spectators galleries, where light refresh
ments are served.
Gee WhiZi That Is the name OF the
latest toy for boys and girls, which, being
swung around briskly, gives one an idea OF
the noise made by a fleeing Chinaman
when the Japs opened fire. They may be
had for the asking at L. T.. Ballous Shoe
Store, 127 Weybosset street, the man w no
believes i'm letting people know where his
place Of business is.
James Russell Lowell said once upon a
time that the throe hardest words In the
