ALL NEED THE EDITOR

Every man in every town during the
course of a life time has to ask favor
of an editor-not an exception to the
rule A man may escape a doctor,
keep clear of the court, but once in a
life time at least, every man has TO go
to newspaper to have a certain piece
put ina death notice, q. marriage
notice, etc. to have a certain piece
taken out, or have his name printed in
or omitted in an item. 1t is therefore
to your advantage to treat the editor
fairly. He desires to be fair, he would
do right rather than a wrong, but if
you give him kick, the dent Of it
may be found in your own hat some
day and you will wonder how it got
there. Do not think that you are i'm
mune: don't think that Providence
has especially favored you. Your time
Will come: it will be fine investment
if you have friend in the editors Of
flee. He may not like you on account
of the mean things you have said
about him and his paper but he will
treat you right just the same. He
will respect your feelings; he'll help
you when you are in trouble as cheer.
fully as you will cuss him when you
are safely out of it.-Ex.

HOW TO GET POOR QUICK

Do not try to save your loose change.
1t is too small an amount to put in
the savings bank. 1t would not
amount to much, anyway, and there
is great comfort in spending it. Just
wait until you get sufficient worth
while before you deposit it.
Do not try to economic. 1t is an
internal nuisance 10 ALWAYS try to
save few cents here and there. Be-
sides. you will get the reputation of
being mean and stingy. You want
everybody to think you are generous.
Just look out for today. Have a
good time as you go along. just use
your money yourself. Don't deprive
yourself for the sake of laying up
something for other people to fight
over. Besides, you are sure of today.
You might not be alive tomorrow

you should be careful not to allow

WILL TAKE CENSUS
OF THE UNEMPLOYED

To ascertain the exact number Of
unemployed organized workingmen in
Washington, a careful canvass Of the
city is being conducted by the Central
Labor Union The unemployed viii be
divided into two classes, those who
need assistance and those who do not.
Careful inquiry viii be made to deter
mine whether any union member IS re-
ceiving aid from any charitable insti-
tuition, or any other outside source. If
such is found to be the case, the giving
or receiving Of such charity VIII be
stopped. It IS the opinion or the labor
leaders OF the District that members Of
labor organizations do not have TO and
should not go out of their own organ-
izatfOns for assistance.
II was stated at the last meeting OF the
Central Labor Union. wnen the resOlu-
tons for the canvass were passed, that
organized labor was capable Of looking
after its own men, and would do so.
It was said that the seeking Of charity
elsewhere, by any member Of a labor
union who was in need. was an in
direct reflection upon his organization
and placed material for criticism in the
hands Of those who were ever ready 10

The campaign IS being conducted At

AS q result Of all Of this political &C

labor officials. Nearly all are away

American Federation are deserted. and

CHALMERS CHALKS
UP NEW RECORDS
Forty" Rounds Out Season With
Brilliant String of Victories
in West.

Somewhat eclipsed in the public mind
by the sensational announcements of its
little brOther-the new Chalmers-DetrOit
go the ChalmeTs-DetrOlt Forty IS
ming into prominence again by a trio
f remaI kable victories in racing events.
During the spring and summer the
Forty took part in nearly every motor
contest The three recent victories. how
ever, have been the most spectacular Of
the entire racing season.
Driven by Bert Dingley, the we'll
known California driver. one Of the
Chalners-Detroit Forty "Bluebirds' has
been ranging up and down the Pacific
coast. entering every race meet that
Dingley could find. 4 few days ago at
Fresno, this car carried of the honOCs
in big meet, setting a new world s
record for stock cars OF its class.
This same car Of DingIey's made a
wonderful record at Denver a short
time before. The car was entered by
J. II. McDuffee, the Chalmers-DetrOi
dealer, in q special match race from
Denver to Cheyenne, 116 miles uphill.
1t was driven by Harold Brinker.
On another occasion the car. driven
by I,OrimeT. was second in the 3OO-miIe
Labor Day races at Denver. being dc
feated only by a car of much higher
horsepower.
