Tom and Sam were old cronies. On one
occasion Sam took umbrsge at some re-
mark from Tom, and he sarcastically
calculated: "Tom-assl" But Toms
ready wit was equal to the occasion. He
replied, ''Sam- muiei"

NOTES.

The post expresses its thanks to all who
assisted in the observance of the day.
Comrade Small says that this, his sixth
year as commander, is to be his last. But
the post may will otherwise.
An interesting feature OF the day was
the assistance rendered the post in decor
ating graves by Miss Christina Doyle,
who did it for the tenth consecutive time,
and by her sister Elieneen, who did it for
the sixth consecutive time; both are grand
children Of the late Stephen Monaghan.

5000 extra, making total of 800. These

These places were known to Euro

Ing newspapers throughout the coun-

business Of making small loans upon
the security Of pledge or mortgage of
personal property or assignment of
wages. Drastic laws have been in
voked in many states against it. So
cieties have been organized to protect
victims from. unjust practices, but the
press accounts are soon forgotten by
all save the unfortunate clients of the
money lenders, and the campaign to
remedy the conditions surrounding
the business has been marked by

Nation Is to Fight the Loan Sharks

tention to drive the loan shark out OF
existence, but still this blot on ouI
civilization remains.
The many unsuccessful attempts to
legislate the usurious money lender
out Of existence have shown one thing
very clearly. that law that comes
between the INSCRIPTIONS man who
has money to lend and the man who
wants to borrow cannot be enforced
until an agency is established to sat
isfy his need at lower cost Recog.
nizing this fact, philanthropic men In
nearly twenty cities. content with a
reasonable return upon their invest.
ment, have organized remedial socie-
ties to make loans at the lowest rates
of interest practicable to deserving
people upon security Of personal prop
erty pledged or mortgaged.
Briefly stated. the programme OF the
remedial loan movement includes the
organization in all cities of competi
tive loan societies of social nature
In the pawnbroking and chattel loan
fields; the establishment Of co-opera
tive associations for savings and loans
among employees, supplemented by
the investment Of honest capital on q
reasonable money-making basis. In
all states legislation will be sought
