SPEEGLE, THE FlNANcIER

Walking into Taylor's Bakery this
week and plunking down four-bit
piece, Peter McNasty," whose
store name is Speegle, announced
that he wanted dozen bread tick
cts. AS D. L. makes a practice of
selling bread at the rate of "a loaves
for a dollar, he showed twelve little
tickets over the counter. The said
tickets have been in use for some
time and Peter commented on their
condition somewhat in this fashion:
Lookee here, Taylor, these tickets
are some battered up now, and
what'l they be like after I've carried
them around for a couple of weeks?
Tell me that. Besides, Pm not
used to these new tangled city ways.
I'm fresh from the country, but [
know what money is. Supposin'
you slip me a loaf of bread now and
eleven nice, shiny nickels. Then l
would know just what I've got. It's
all the same to you, amt it?"
Well, Taylor wasn't quite SO sartin.
But see here. You get a nickle
for loaf of bread. You give twelve
little tags for four-bits. l don't
want the tags but I'll buy the bread
all right. and l want to get in on
the discount. Now you slip me
eleven nickles and the loaf of bread
and then We'll have it all fixed up.
Come now" And Taylor, who
likes to be accommodating, made
the swap.

INTEREST MEN IN CHURCH WORK

Future work among the local
churches may show that Sunday was
a red letter day in Kennewick, a
date long to he remembered. Three
prominent laymen of Walla Walla
visited the city in the interests of
the Men in Religion Forward Move
ment which swept over the United
states during the last few months.
In the morning, l.. E. Bruntin, post
master in Walla Walla, spoke in the
Congregational church, E. Mecham,
chairman at the Walla Walla pub
licity committee, addressed the Bap-
fist congregation, and Fred Witham,
sec' etary of the Y. M. C. A., talked
from the Presbyterian pulpit. They
endeavered to give the history of
the movement in brief and outline
Its main purposes and what it has
accomplished for the men and boys
of the nation. 1t was emphasized
that it was a union movement to
get the men into the churches and
into the Christian life.
In the afternoon a mass meeting
for men only was held at the Con-
gregational church. Abig union mass
was held in the Presbyter-
ian church at 7:3O in the evening.
The church was packed to the doors
and additional chairs had to be
brought in.
Mr.. Witham and Mr.. Bruntin
the mems meeting and
Mr.. Mecham gave talks in the even

ing. In a clear, straightforward
and practical way they talked of
the good that could be accomplished
by unanimous effort and advocated
local organization of the men in the
church, working together to get
more men and boys, now
claimed by the streets and their at
fractions, into the church and its
various lines of work.
