A western paper says that you can tell
a successful farmer by looking at his
horses; you can tell sloyenly woman by
looking at her hair; you can tell the dry
goods box statesman by looking at the

you can lell the poisonous serpent by the
bluntness of his tail, but the easiest thing
of all you can tell the enterprising mer-
chant by a glance at the local papers.

amendment must be adopted by three

be held next winter. 1t in no way affect
the present registration.
