the automobile and the rural deliv-

the way of stimulating interest In

Another use of the automobile in
agricultural districts is its employ

number of eastern states enterpris-
ing merchants send out their clerks
with automobiles in the morning to

afternoon. Merchants who have

Of life, care to have what is common
Iy known as a bad reputation. Do
you, young man, ever stop TO think
that there are immutable laws that
control the universe and all therein?
Do you ever consider that light is

That the brilliancy of the diamond is
merely the rays reflected from the
perfectly crystalized carbon? Reputa-
ton is only the reflection from char.

EQUITY IN BUSINESS.
Practice of LiVe-and-L et-Live Princi-
pies Most Desirable.

Too frequently it is noticed that in
the struggle to attain wealth the
rights of the individual are ignored
Fair dealing is a desirable thing as
we'll as most simple and it requires
only common honesty to practice it.
Not alone is there honesty involved
in the matter of selling but also in
the matter of buying. It is quite as
dishenorable for the purchaser to ex-
act that the seller receive no profit on
an article sold as it is for the seller
to demand an exorbitant price for his
goods
There is much sound philosophy in
the liye-and-Iet-live gospel. This is
nothing more than an observance of
the Golden Rule that has found ex-
preston in all ages of enlightenment
from the time of Gautama down to
the present. In every day dealings it
is apparent that there is too much of
exaggerated selfishness in evidence,
too great struggle for the vantage.
There should be a spirit of Christian
cooperation that would be just to all
alike Whole communities suffer
sometimes from the lack of this sense
of equity on the part of merchants
and their customers.
How often is the complaint heard In
rural districts that the storeReepers
of a town charge too high prices for
what they have to sell? How often is
it noticed that where this feeling dom
mates the people that the home
town suffers as a consequence? It is
short sightedness on parts of mer-
chants TO require of their customers
more than what may be considered
legitimate and just profit. In fact it
is poor business policy to follow out
a plan of this kind There are many
towns whose growth has been pre-
vented through grasping tendency
Of the merchants to make all they pos
sibly can in a few short years. and to
give the people as small an amount Of
goods as they will take for their
money. The natural result of a pol
icy of this kind is that the people
seek other towns in which to do their
tfadlng ana quite often buy from the
distant mailorder house.
Habits once formed are hard to
break. 1t is quite as difficult for the
merchant TO recover from the habit
of making exorbitant profits as it is
for the patron Of the mail-order house
10 turn his trade to the home stores.
Should both the merchants and their
customers calmly consider principles
that enter into commerce, and both
determine to practice equity in their
dealings. the merchant to sell honest
goods at honest profits and the Gus
toner to give patronage to merchants
who would practice this principle, it
would be wholesome not alone. for
the home towns, but for all the com
munities.

Quarter would give her her walking

there anybody mad enough to fancy
that she wouldn't snap up Plank in
such fix and make 1t look like jilt
for Quarter? But Plank must do his
part OH the minute. Plank must step
up in the very nick Of time. Plank,
with his millions and his ambitions,
was bound to be winner anyway,
and Sylvia might as well be his pilot
and use his money. And Plank would
be very, very grateful-very useful, a
very good friend to have, and Leila
would learn at last that he. Mortimer,
