DO YOU KNOW YOUR GRoCERp
He Respects the Woman Who Is
Hard to Please.

He respects the woman VINO Is
Hard to Please.
Under the title, do You Know Your
Grocer?" the editor of Woman's Home
Companion makes this comment:
There are a few of the intimate de-
tails Of his business life which our
obliging grocer does not wish you to
know. And that is why he sends a So
licitor to your kitchen door every
morning, why he assures you that your
children will be served as honestly and
promptly as yourself, and why he Is
highly elated when you put in tele-
phone and join his list of telephone
customers
1.-THE telephone and the order clerk
or solicitor have probably done more
to kill the housewifely instinct in
women and further the ends of care
less or INSCRIPTIONS grocers than any
other labor-saving household institu-
ton Of the century. Even the most
competent Of housekeepers can always
find one thing more to do at home
and when the solicitor takes such a
friendly interest in her needs and what
her family likes, or the telephone can
be used without changing from the
house frock to a street suit, she Is very
apt to drop the habit Of marketing. A
New York grocer established one year
in a new and prosperous residence dis
trict thus summed up his trade:
ave must make special appeal for
the telephone and solicited trade, be-
cause our store and staff of clerks is
not large enough to accommodate Gus
toners If they called every day to mar
ket. Two-thirds of our trade is Sc
cured either by telephone or by solicit
ing. and the women never come to the
store except when they happen to be
passing on some other errand, or when
there is some mistake In the bill. Yet
1t takes half our clerks to wait on the
remaining one third Of the trade

who waste our time picking over goods,
changing their minds, waiting for
change, deciding between this brand

An Indiana novelist with a love for
the simple life moved to farm, says a
writer In Lippincott's Magazine, and
began raising chickens. When he had
some Matched out, he soon noticed that
they were languishing in their coops
and apparently about to die. He con-
suited a neighbor.
what do you feed them?" asked the
neighbor.
Feed them !" exclaimed the novelist.
"Why, don't feed them anything!"
"Then how do you suppose they are
going to live?"
II presumed" replied the novelist,
with dignity, "that the old hens had
milk enough for them now"

THE UNEQUALED AMERICAN PAY ROLL.
By Secretary COrfeIyou.

Victories of commerce call for high
courage-courage to plan broadly for
the future, courage to stick to a plan
steadfastly to the end. Pluck and per-
sistence are the inspiring attributes of
American manhood, and they are typi-
fed in the American merchant.
No road is too hard for the Ameri-
can business man to travel, no OBJ
stacle great enough to stop him so long

SCHOOL BOARD WANTS LIGHT
Asks its Attorney for Interpretation of the
Child labor Law.
OBJECTION TO PAY ENTERTAINMENTS
TPuRnt Omcer Parker Resigns and
Board Adopts Resolution Thank
ing Him for His Services Dur
ing the Last Five Years.

During last evenings meeting of the
Board Of Education Member McCague Of
fered a resolution directing c. r. Herring,
attorney for the board, to submit at an
early date an Interpretation of the new
child labor law, the Interpretation to EN-
body these points in particular: First gen.
eral scope of the law; second, it's applica-
ton to general powers and duties of the
Board OF Education; third, application and
relation to the truant officer law; fourth,
duties and limitations of the board under
the new law Mr.. McCague explained that
there had been some question raised as to
the responsibilities OF the board under the
provisions of this new law. The resolution
was adopted.
A personal request from a civil war cap
tain TO give entertainments in the public
schools, with a stipulated sum for himself
and the children to sell the tickets, brought
out short discussion on the general ques-
ton Of permitting pay entertainments of
any character in public schools. Member
Lindsay led in opposing the permission OF
any entertainments to which an admission
fee is charged and offered a resolution to
this effect, but later withdrew the resou-
ton on the suggestion that the board take
up each instance on It's merits. Member
Maynard then made a motion, which car
ried, that the entertainment under con-
sideration be not allowed in the schools.
