Which only gives him an openin' to unload lot

trouble started, because he'd read it the adver-

he have pains in the small of his back? Want his
tongue furry in the mornin'? Didn't lie have dizzy

Gordon that you couldn't sell Government gold

fall for any back number fake like that? And after
all the patent medicine muckrakn that's been done,
too!
But Pyramids one of the messy kind that
fines his readin' to crop reports and annual bank
statements. The only books he d like to open are
the ones slowed away in the private safes of few
corporations, and so long he keeps posted on
dividends and bond issues he's satisfied. Things

Doubtless ii Is true, as Lr Schulz
said at the Merchants meeting Sat

been discussed at these gatherings
call for further attention; but it is
doubtful If all of them could be given
further effective attention at these
informal meetings than they have
have received This is true particu-
larry with respect to increasing the
revenue of the city of Cairo. That
subject was first preached at these
meetings and it was thrasheJ out for
weeks, here and at other gatherings
always with the same conclusion
finally that the city council must pass
license ordinance increasing the
revenue to meet the needs of the city

There is a tendency to-day to belittle
the work Of the home-maker Our talk is
about schools and universities. We exalt
the club and the literary circle. The patient
mother who is at home making some needed
garment for her family is called the drudge
and the slave, living in the dark age Yer
as a matter Of fact all these literary peo-
pie and those who are exploiting the So
called high ideals are dependent upon the
work Of the hands and must wear the gar
ment which Dorcas has made.
All this talk about its being beneath a
