SHE BOUGHT A CHEAP AMERICAN RUG.

orator Take the case Of the ordinary
married woman with a little capital to
start on which she may add to from
time to time. Now, does she walt to
furnish part Of the house? No, she
must cover all the bare spaces all at
once. What is the result? a lot Of
cheap furniture she Is glad to get rid of
later on.
Take the parler, for instance. She
has set her heart on old rose portieFes
and old rose side curtains for the win
dews, but she also must buy a rug
So what does she de-? Instead of pur-
chasing a good oriental carpet which
viii last her a lifetime she buys q
cheap American rug and invests what
she has saved ia a lot Of cheap pink
brocade for the window hangings The
inexpensive pink stuff fades and is
soon cast aside. bat, alas, the glazing
tones Of the rug do not, and she can't
afford to cast it aside. for carpets even
of the cheapest cost money. So there
you are.
Its the same thing about pictures.
I'd rather have one good picture on
one wall and the other three bare, but
the average woman must cover up
every inch of space with worthless
trash.
do you know, some day am going
to start classes in home decoration for
brides?"

COMBINE TO FIX PRICES
Advice of a Kentuckian to the Amer
lean Society OF Equity" Conn
posed of Farmers


East st. Louis, H., Oct. %. - The
feature of the days session Of the
first annual convention Of the Ameri-
can Society Of Equity, which is com
posed of farmers, was the address Of
r. F. Sharp, of Narrows, Ky. He
strongly urged the farmers to perfect
an organization. THE trusts and com
bines which are the agencies Of the in
fernal regions call US jays 'hayseeds,
rubes' and 'mossbacks, and say that
even If we do organize we wont
stick" he said.
Il tell you that when organization
raises the price of products it is the
best sticking plaster in the world.
know the farmers will stick Equity
means a fair deal. All manufacturing
industries fix the price of their prod
ucts. and know what price they are
going to get for them. The farmer,
the backbone Of the nation and the
worlds greatest producer, has been
going ON the theory that he will take
whatever he can get for his products.
Equity intends that the farmer shall
take his place with the worlds prod
ucers and fix profitab BILE price for his
products. That can only be done by a
plan OF marketing products to control
and regulate the market prices"

great an organ to lend the beauty of

horse chariots.

Happyland can be considered a clas-

The story. particularly plausible for
a comic opera, is immensely amusing,
and being devoid OF all slap stick and
bombastic incongruities, sets a stand

the king OF Elysia all the excitement
that he seeks. Rankins scene: are
