I'll tell you my friend, you and /
with our neighborS and always giving
everybody square deal, but the real
fact is that we don't always do it, It's
mighty easy to give fellow a square
deal when you have nothing at stake
and it wouldn't benefit you a particle
to be crooked. Then, again, there is
the fellow we like and the fellow we
don't like. You know and / know
that we never go out of our way to
give the fellow we don't like any
more than is coming to him. You
also know and / know about the
fellow who is not member of our
own select circle-in other words,
some fellow we don't happen to fancy
that we d. not go out of our way
to quell the tale. We rather take
delight in giving it fresh start. But
let some guy tell mean story about
some person we are little stuck on,
and off comes our coat l have seen
you flare up about some fellows i'm
agined wrongs more than once. Then
again have seen you lend willing
ear to the gossip that was dragging
down fellow you didn't like This
thing of fair play and square dealing
depends good deal on whose OK is
being gored. / know, for 1 sit in that
kind of game every day. You know
it too.-Osborne Farmer

Spring Floods to Be Utilized In Filling
Reservoir.

Engineer Johnson. employed by the
water board of Salem, Mass. has
evolved a plan which. it is thought.
will settle the matter Of an additional
water supply for Salem and Beverly
satisfactorily for at least thirty years
to come. The matter has been put be-
fore the water boards of the two cities
in conference.
The plan is to construct storage
basin at the head of Nichold brook, in
Putnamville. Danvers. and fill it during
the spring foods from Ipswich river, the
pumping station being located near
the turnpike in Topsfield with a thirty
six inch pipe to Wenham lake. the wa
ter thus stored to be run as needed
into Wenham lake by gravity.
The location for the reservoir is a
natural basin, and two small dams
will complete it, and there is a site
for another reservoir adjacent if fur
ther storage should be needed.

Rest and Motion In the Universe.

The studies Of Professor Campbell
on the radial velocities of stars and
uebulae have led him to some interest
ing conclusions concerning the motions
that take place among the bodies con-
shutting the visible universe. He finds
that stars which the spectrOscope
seems to prove are relatively old travel
at higher velocities than those which
are younger and that the formless
nebuae. like those In Orion. appear to
be nearly or quite mOtionless in re
gard to the stars. In explanation he
suggests that the rate of motion de-
ponds upon the time during which the

overcomes the radiation pressure. and

LESSON WITH A MORAL.
An Argument Showing Advantage Of
Home Trade Over Mail Order.

An Argument Showing Advantage of
Home Trade Over Mail Order.
In Oklahoma not long ago a man
went into a store to buy saw. He
saw the kind he wanted and asked the
price. 1t was $1.65, the dealer said.
"Good gracious!'' said the man. II
can get the same thing from - &
Co. for $1.35."
That's less than it cost me-" said
the dealer, but I'll sell it on the same
terms as the mail order house just the
same"
"All right" said the customer. You
can send it along and charge it to my
account"
mot on your lifev' the dealer re-
piled. "No charge accounts You
can't do business with the mail order
house that way. Fork over the cash"
The customer complied
"Now 2 cents for postage and 5
cents for money order"
"What?''
Certainly. You have to send let
ter and money order to mail order
house. you know"
The customer. inwardly raving. kept
to his agreement and paid the cents.
'Now Is cents expressage."
"Well Til be- he said. but paid It.
saying, "Now hand me that saw and
I'll take it home myself to be rid of
this foolery."
Hand it to you? Where do you
think you are? You're in Oklahoma.
and I'm in Chicago. and you'll have to
wait two weeks for that saw"
Whereupon the dealer hung the saw
on a peg and put the money in his
cash drawer
THAT makes $1.67," he said. .'It
has cost you cents more and taken
you two weeks longer to get it than If
you had paid my price in the first
place." -

ianapolis.-Eugene Victor Debs,
of Terre Haute, Ind, was nominated
as a candidate for the presidency of
the United States by the national So
cialist convention, and Emil Seidel,
formerly mayor of Milwaukee, was
nominated for vice-president.
The convention went squarely on
record in favor of woman's suffrage
in every form and hit the hardest blow
at the white slave traffic ever enacted
by any national gathering.
The radicals and conservatives
fought it out all week and the adjourn
ment found both factions cC4ning

ing advantage through the recognition
of Industrial as well as all other forms
of unionism. This included the In
dustrial Workers of the World, who,
the conservatives claimed, are an an
archist body. Because of this, the So
cialists specifically disavowed all form
of violence in labor troubles and
agreed that all socialists who may ad-
vocate such direct action shall be
forthwith expelled.
