Household Reform.

The reform that applies itself to
the household must not be partial. 1t
must correct the whole system of our
social living. 1t must come with plain
living and high thinking; it must
break up caste, and put domestic scrv.
ice on another foundation. 1t must
come in connection with a true ac-
ceptance by each man of his vocation,
not chosen by his parents or friends
but by his genius, with earnestness
and love.-EmerSon.

receivorship. The panic of 1907 had
driven the concern TO tho wall Mr.
WHY'S astonished the stockholders In
tho old concern by declaring that the
company must be saved.
The young salesman began by ad-
vancing $3.50 to take care OF the pay
roll and hold off tho receivership for
a few days other bills we're coming
due, and Mn WHY'S was asked TO re-
organize the company. without a
moments hesitation ne undertook the
job.
His factory was inadequate to supply
tho demand for 1908. Mr.. WHY'S built
additions. leased other factories and
succeeded in building, selling and de-
livering 4.O75 cars during that year.
lie then obtained an option on thirty
acres OF land near Indianapolis and
was about to leave for New York e

telling him that the Pope Toledo plan
was for sale. The next morning foun,

plant and by noon had purchased
new home FOR the Overland car. Foi
an outlay OF 100000 he has secured
