ANOTHER BIRTHDAY.

Colonel Erstine King, foreman of
the Western Newspaper Union, had
another birthday last Tuesday, but he
didn't think of it until the day after.
When he remembered it he forgot to
tell the force which one it was. We
don't know how old this genial Mis-

doesn't look it, and here's hoping he'll

Four years ago the editor of The
Wageworker had the privilege of hear
ing Miss Mcdowell when she ad-
dressed the American Federation of
Labor convention at Minneapolis. She
represented the Woman's Trade Union
League and was asked to occupy the
floor for thirty minutes. At the end
of that time the convention, admist
rousing cheers, begged her to continue
and for an hour she held that big as
sembly of brainy and earnest men
with her simple eloquence- There
were many great speechs delivered on
the floor of that convention, but not
one of them was listened to with more
interest and pleasure than the speech
of Mary E. Mcdowell

plans of the committee go all right

orator in Lincoln The committee
will endeavor to have Miss McDoweH

OF course the cry of ~knocker went
up. That was to have been expected
But il wasn't a Knock it was merely
a little bit of friendly advice offered
by one who pays his money at the
gate. never asks for favors and only
wants to get his moneys worth He
doesn't demand that the team win
every game-he only wants it to play
the bail it has up its collective sleeve
There isn't q man on the Lincoln
team who wouldn't strengthen any
other team in the league. There isn't
a finer bunch OF young men playing
professional ball anywhere. But there
is something wrong somewhere-and
the only desire is to locate it.
For example: In the first game of
Saturdays double header Roberts of
Wichita. playing first base. went down
after a low throw. The runner went
into him. spiking his wrist But be-
fore Roberts made q "holler" he went
after the ball and fielded it in. Then
he paid attention to his injury. In
the second game practically the same
thing happened at third base-only
different. Hogreiver went after low
throw and injured a finger. missing the
ball and letting it get away. Instead
of retrieving the bali and then look
ing after his injury he let the ball go
and before another player could gel
it a couple of men had scampered over
the plate. And Hogreiver's injury
wasn't as bad as Roberts injury al

HELPING HONE FOLKS HELPS
YOURSELR.

The proper way to build up an indus
trial community is to patrOnize its in
dustries, for every dollar expended To-
cally In support Of them helps in many
other ways toward the prosperity Of
that community.
Careful investigation has developed
the fact that every dollar kept within
community does the duty Of ten dollars
for each year in the payment Of Obli-
cations. Suppose you needed 10 invest
500 In some product, manufactured
both at home and In another city. II
you placed the order with your home
artAan Il would be one thousand dollars
Of financial benefit 70 your town or com
munity and many Of those dollars
would bo returned to yOu through the
regular channels Of trade. But were
you 70 place that same order In another
town not one dollar Of Il would ever be
returned 10 you, but you would actually
be contributing $1,000 toward the sup
port Of the artisans and merchants Of
that place. So II you had prima facis
saved q few dollars IN the transaction
BY placing your order out Of town, yOu
were really the loser BY depriving your
own town Of that extension tOits indus
trial greatness.
The same argument win apply 10 the
local merchants. II you deprive your
own dealer Of the trade justly due from
you, you deprive that merchant or deal
Or Of the ability 10 patrOnize you, In an
industrial, commercial or professional
way.
No town can be truly prosperous un-
less all are are imbusd With community
interest. The manufacturer, the mer-
chant, the laWyer, the doctor, the farm
sr, the banker, the capitalist, all should
feel Il their duty. and know It to their
financial interest, 10 keep their money
at home 30 far as may be practicable.
II Tallahassee has an industrial en-
terprise, patrOniss Il. This brings
prosperity and your own financial good.
