Wise Talks
By the "Office Boy"

George was coming West to
seek his fortune. On the eve of
his departure he said to the
sweetest girl in the world,
you'll be true to me, won't you,
darling?" She said, "Ye-yes,
George, tiff you're successful"
There is no question about
Georges success If he works :.
hard and keeps his face and
conscience clean. If young
man is strictly honest, not afraid
of work and possesses happy
disposition, you can bet ten to
one that he'll win. The days of
wooden nutmegs' have passed
into the fossiliZed past. The
man who is tricky in business Is
a back number. Straight deal
ing is the new slogan in business.
1t costs money to be prevari-
Gator. We are getting civilized
as fast as that truth comes home
to the man who pays the bills.
1t won't be many years before
even the big department stores
will never willfully publish an
untruth, because the public is
getting educated, because moral
ideas have progressed, because 1t
costs too much to get caught,
because advertising is taking a
serious place in commercial life
and because it won't pay to pub
lish page of advertising in sew
eral papers and have everybody
doubt it's truth. For years we
have tried to discourage price
Juggling. We have gotten our
selves disliked time after time
by telling men they were in
wrong, that they were commit
ting commercial suicide and that
they were undermining what
they themselves were trying to
build. We have not done these
things in a spirit of competition.
Far from that. Ask any COM
petitor if we ever resort to tricks
or schemes to sell goods. We
believe in the fashioned,
straightforward way. It's the
sherwood way. It's the only
way. Either store.

turn Home Today

Almost one hundred members of the

Members of the order are generous
in their praise of the people of Po-
mona, the little city entertaining them
royalty. One of the unique and en-
joyable features of the meeting was
barbecue which was rendered the
delegates. The scene of the barbecue
was San Dimas canyon, just outside
of Pomona, picturesque place. No
other function connected with the an
nual meeting, barring the ball in Los
Angeles last night, gave the delegates
more pleasure.
The ball was given under the aus

One Flag, One Country.

May IA was Confederate Memorial
Day in Norfolk. The dispatches tell of
long lines of marching men, and they
carried Confederate flags. The same
dispatches also say: Beneath the Amer
lean. Confederate and Virginia State
flags Mr.. Herbert addressed large in
door audience. He said, In part:
I'VE lost our battle for the independ-
ence of the Confederacy. To that we
are reconciled. We all agree it is bes;
that there be but one flag. What we
have to be proud and grateful for is
that at last in the Union, with the idea
of disunion forever buried and under
the Flag that is powerful enough to
protect us and our descendants against
all Nations of the earth, we finally tri-
unphed In all our States over carpet
bag and negro rule"
IL Mr.. Herbert believes that there
Is but one Flag now. why does he not
confine his use OF flags to the Flag ?
The Confederate flag means but a MEM
ory. and should be laid away with the
memories of the Lost Cause. Being a
flag that meant treason, 1t Is incons-u-
Gus. to say the least, to twine it with
the Flag. Mr.. Herbert says that dis
union is forever buried, and under the
Flag that is powerful enough to pro-
tect US" etc. Since the Confederate
! tag meant "disunion," Il, too, is sup
posed To be buried. Nr. Herbert ouSi.t
10 get together on the flag business.
In this country there is but one Flag,
and Old Glory must head the process
sion or 1t cannot march," is a pretty
good sentiment
