Heavens! l gave that blue blouse

Then the chase for the blouse conn
mences.
Into burglars fence" masqueraded
as a secondhand store: into a singers
studio, into a roadhouse that Is filed
with more types" than one would have
thought existed, the search carries this
groGp of young optimistic souls who
never for one minute doubt that their
hunt will be rewarded finally, even
though the lottery ticket bore the num-
bar 1913 and news Of its having won the
prize came on Friday, the 18th of the
month. The blue blouse changes owners
with Eghtning-like rapidity, and II
gathers searchers as SNOWFALL gathers
volume as II travels.
At length everybody concerned In the
play joins in the chase, but Just when
somebody Is quite sure the blouse is in
their possession, the garment, more
elusive than anything that ever hoped
out of Pandord's box, disappears.
But enough of the plot of the play,
which keeps the audience guessing from
beginning to end. That "A Million"
will be a success there is no doubt The
farce has lost none Of its original spon-
taneous humor at the hands of its trans
lator, Leo Deitriehstein. There are some
spots In the play that are crude. There
are places where the profanity might be
omitted without materially changing
the lines for the worse. There are
scenes that will go more smoothly, as
the play is pruned and rehearsed, and
there are situations that might be more
logically developed, but of its humor
there can be no criticism. 1t Is riot
of fun and laughter from beginning 10
end, laughter that carries the audience
with it and best of all 1t is humor a.

OPPOSE LIABILITY BILL

Opposition to the employees COM

lature, seems almost unanimous.
Workingmen, the supposed bene-
ficiaries, have united with the many
interests that would be financially
affected of the unjust provisions of
the bill. The fact that every en-
ploye, no matter what the character
of the employment, must pay out Of
his or her wages, two cents each day
into the state fund. has raised a
storm of protest. Those responsible
for the bill admit that the so-called
first add fund, to be raised from
employers and employees, will yield
$1,000, 900 annually from the start,
and is conceded that 50 per cent of
this sum must be spent in admins

BETTER PROTECTION FOR
THE COUNTRY MERCHANTS

The average country merchant
works under trying conditions. He
extends credit freely, carrying GUS
toners for weeks. When some OF
the same customers are able To pay
cash they buy not from the mer-
chant who has carried them but
from a mail-order house. which Is
sometimes able to undersell the mer
chant precisely because it gives no.
body credit. About the time the
merchant has built up a really pro-
ftable trade somebody is pretty sure
to open a rival shop across the street.
Sometimes the house the merchant
has patronized will cheerfully sup
ply the rival shop with a stock of
goods. although its chief asset may
be pious hope of taking away part
of the older shops trade. Such
conditions would tend to Ike any
body nervous; and it is not strange
that many country merchants OPP
pose parcels post in the fear that
it will give an additional advantage
to the mail-order houses.
Probably the multiplication of
rival shops is a greater menace to
the retail trade than the mail-order
houses are. The Comptroller OF the
Currency will no longer permit the
organization of new national bank
whose business seems merely to be
taking business away from banks al
ready established. A license will
not be issued for a new bank unless
it appears there is some reasonable
need of additional banking facilities
in that locality. Multiplication of
competitive banks is sure to weaken
the whole banking position. Two
strong banks can serve community
better than four weak ones. SO can
two strong retail stores, if people
only realized it.
In the present state OF the retail
trade no such salutary control over
mere wasteful competition is pos
sible; but one can imagine degree
of organization by which it might
be achieved.
The country town is very import
ant to the farmer and should be
able to count upon his support; but
sentiment plays little part in buy
ing goods, and if parcels-post will
really get city goods to the farmer
cheaper than he can buy them at
home he will probably favor that
measure There must be some
where better protection for coun-
try retail trade than simple reliance
upon high express rates. Saturday

consumers of their products absolute

They haven't even had the scant

The Merchants Association.

Progressiveness of a city or town is
dependent upon the cooperation of the
lerchants, writes the Hutchinson Whole
saler. A community that is not organ
lied has no chance of improving local
conditions or expanding. The Retail
Merchants association is constructive,
protective and educational.
1t is constructive by securing i'm
provements, creating better streets, and
forms an agency for the cooperative
business force to expand. 1t is protec-
tive in defeating adverse local and state
legislation, keeping out fake advertising
schemes, eliminating trade abuses, ex-
posing frauds and dead beats, and bring
ing competition within the bounds of
reason and business.
1t is educational in its meetings, as
talks on buying and selling, improving
local conditions, the friendly relations,
that spring up and the knowledge that
your competitor is imbued with the high
sense of economy, better stores and
methods rather than the idea of driving
anybody out of business.
The Merchants association is the
logical factor for developing a commun
ity because it is a business organization
and not a place for schemers and those
with axes to grind.

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condition
of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical analy-
sis of the patients urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing their
work properly, the other organs cannot
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1909, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health OF
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the
great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Rem
edy.
The mild and healing influence Of this
preparation is soon realized. 1t stands
the highest for its remarkable record Of
cures.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish a sample bottle
