Waste in Booklets.

In a letter to an advertisers maya
zine an evaporated milk concern, dis

part of the booklets we get out are
left in grocery stores for distribution

there is great waste in this, and that
they do not all reach the consumer.
and we have tried every other method
we can think of to get them into the
hands of the proper parties" This is
precisely the same trouble that con-
fronts every business house that relies
on booklets alone to win trade. So
long as the direct road to the con,

is open, those who willfully pursue
the roundabout booklet by-path have
only themselves to blame for their
failure to get there. All the people
who buy evaporated milk, or who
might be persuaded to buy it, read
newspapers.
The same statement is equally true

One Ex-Congressman in Deal.
While no evidence has been pro-
ducet up to this time to show the
existence of a lobby such as Steener'
son and FISHERMAN have been
charged with cooperating with, the
fact has already been established that
at least one ex-member of congress
has been cooperating with the Mer-
chant Marine league in the interest
of legislation which will bring about
the payment of approximately $4,000,
900 of the peoples money annually
to a few private ship owners.
James T. McCleary ex-representa-
tive of congress from Minnesota, who
spends his time in Washington, and
who is regarded by Representative
Stevenson and other members of con-
gress as a lobbyist for ship subsidy,
admitted on the witness stand that he
had received between $500 and $1,000
from the Merchant Marine league, but
insisted that he had accepted the
money only in the light of reimburse

1t is the fond hope of Texas people
that the coming census will reveal a

Lone Star state will surpass all othn-
states in percentage of increase in toe

be the fact, Texas after the next con-

Meldon turned the corner and march
ed determinedly up the wide cross
stree whose rather imposing houses
gave evidence Of a greater prosperity
than was enjoyed on the street Of the
Smiths.
Opposite the church was an impos-
ing red brick house, homely of archi-
lecture, but breathing forth comfort
and at this moment even gayety.
Strains of music drifted from the open
windows, and a long stretch of striped
awning made tunnel from the gate
to the front door. Into this tunnel
Mellon marched regardless of i'm
pending festivities or that he was an
unlimited guest.
The front door was open, his hat
and stick were taken away by a fiut-
tering maid, and he was left in the
shadow of wide doorway where he
could see down the vista Of a long
room filed with people. He awoke 10

Meldon did not hear any more. He
leaned dizzily against the door Intel
and thought vaguely of that brief
period in the winter when he had re-
joiced in the sweet companionship of
Mary Smith, and now she was being
married, and he, an unlimited guest,
lurked at the threshold!
The ceremony was over, and there
were the murmur of voices and low
laughter. Mellon leaned forward for
one look at the bride. After that it
would be his part to go.
The bride and groom were sur
rounded by shifting group, but over
there by the window, where the late
afternoon sun fell athwart her golden
hair and pink flushed cheeks, was his
Mary Smith. Her gown Of pink fluffy
chiffon denoted her attendance in the
bridal procession, but not as the prin-
cipal. Other bridesmaids in pink
chiffon lowered near her or darted in
and out of the group surrounding the
bride. Meldon could now see dark
hair crowned with orange blossoms
and veil.
Mary Smith saw him coming. and
the light IN her shining eyes set his
heart TO beating triumphantly. In a
moment he was at her side, and she
was making explanations in her soft
voice: I'VE live next door, in the
