There is seldom a week passes
when citizens who are engaged in
business are not called upon to con-
tribute something for charity's sake,

knows. 1t is always the business
men who are asked to shoulder the
varied and gratuitous givings. Some
people seem to think that they who
are in business can pick up dollars
anywhere and ought to contribute
literally and willingly every time
they eAre asked. AS a rule dollars
are not more plentiful with business
people than with any others. Just
remember they have troubles of
their own. Beg your money for
awhile from tho land owners and
retired men who have plenty of
money drawing interest. The bust
ness men would appreciate the
change.
