Quality Depends on Price.

You can buy cloth all the way
from three cents a yard up to as
high as you are mind to go, but
when you buy three cent calico you
don't expect to get the same goods
as your rich neighbor who pays
four dollars yard for broad cloth
Yet, in job printing, after you have
screwed the price of a thousand let
ter heads down to a dollar and a
quarter, you pick up a sample of an
embossed job on heavy paper, and
say: Now, why can't our local
printers turn out work like that?"
They can. But it costs money, and
when you pay a big price you like
to send out of town. and put your
money where you will never see

Life and Death Vandalism.

c. p. Rodgers, on his coast-to-coast
flight, found that the souvenir hunt
er is one of his worst natural enc
mics. In Scranton, Pa, for instance,
he detected a woman screwing a
loose nut off the machine with her
fingers. She explained that she
wanted it for a souvenir, and that
she had not imagined it would cause
any harm to take it because there
were so many surely one would not
make any difference" After ex-
planning to her that it might make
all the difference between this world
and the next for him, Rodgers turn
ed his back to his machine, only to
find another souvenir hunter-a
man, this time-trying to take a
valve off the engine with cold
chisel.-World Work.

One Word That Should Never be Used

One word l should like to rub out
of the vocabulary used by human be-
ings, one toward another. 1t is the
word don't"
Looking back over a somewhat full
and varied experience, can say that
in my judgment didactic prohibition
issued from soul to soul, for every
ounce of good it has done, has made
a pound of harm.
Don't" is the stupidest, most
brainless and LATEST of all parental
terms. To tell a child what to do
requires thought, investigation, in
terest. To tell anyone what not to
do requires no cerebration.
Don't" is the language of annoy
ance. DO" is the language of love.
Il like very well to be told to do,
by those who are fond of me-" said
Alcibiades; but never to be told
what not to do; and the more fond
they are of me the less l like it. Be-
cause when they tell me what not to
do, it is a sign that | have displeased
or am likely to displease them. Be-
sides--I believe there are some other
reasons, but they have quite escaped
me-"
To be sure the ten commandments
are "don'ts." But they are Gods,
which is different-Frank Crane.

viii Carry Mail BY Fast Freight.

New York, Jan. 1.-Postmaster
General Frank II. Hitchcock intends
to extend the practice of carrying
second class mail by fast freight
trains. He so stated in an answer he
filed in the United States Circuit
Court recently in the case of the Re-
view of Reviews Company, which
complained of discrimination because
it's magazines were carried by freight
instead of by mail trains through the
Middle West, for distribution to far
distant points.
The Postmaster General says the
Government lost seven cents a pound
on all second class matter transport
ed from New York to the Pacific
coast by mail trains in 1907-190S,
but that since early last year, when
the fast freight rule was enforced on
certain periodicals issued at intervals
of a week or more, a saving of ST.
100000 has been made.
