Ray Andrews, manager of a Muncie
vaudeville theater wher the beasts are
to appear, is unable to find a lodging
place for the animals. Owners of livery

without success to get away from his

the trusts that these bankers secured

consolidation and the organization OF

PEOPLE HATE NOT,
UNDERSTANDING.

Ignorance and hate come and go to-
upon we rarely believe in, and we ac-
cept nothing until we have become
familiar with it. except through
superstition and idolatry: and super
stition and idolatry involve not belief
but faith.
We hang men for killing others
only when we do not understand
them When we understand them we
classify the act as insanity or self
defense, and pity both the victim aud
the slayer When we don't under
stand why he could do such thing,
we call it murder.
We despise men as villains and
brutes only when what they do is be-
meath the understanding of honest
and pure minds. We ridicule senti-
lments that are either too low or too
high for our own intellects. Music or
art that seems sleepy and impossible
seem SO because we do not understand
lit.
Samuel Johnson said: Il hate that
man, because / do not know him; il

There is hardly to be found {
terminal so low that all men hate

derstand his state of mind may pity

Ignorance that causes hate.

THE PINE TREE.

1t stands where Natures pulses freeze
Beneath the polar eye.
And hangs it's dropping banners out
Meath India's burning sky.
From north to south, from east TO west,
Where.er the sun shine.
Ii lifts and waves it's iordIy crest
The all enduring Pine.
In regions ,yildest and unknown,
Beside the restless sens.
Ii bresathes its deep and mellow tone
Thru natures minstreIsy;
'Tts heard upon the mountains breast
And by the rivers line,
And mid the busy haunts of men,
The melancholy Pine.
It's bnImy breath Is ON the air.
Amid the forest gloom,
The early winds of morning bear
It's delicate perfume.
Its dewy oder fils the sense
At evenings slow decline.
And nights soft pinions finger still
Around the fragrant Pine.
I love tit hath been to
An old familiar friend,
And broadly DER my native land
Its waving branches bend.
And widely thru Its haIIovred soil
Its rugged roots entyyfne.
And wreathe with every thought oil
home
The well-remember>d Pine.
/ love ii, for it's music breathes
Der many a hnIIowed spot
Where lie the loved and lonIy dead
Who may not beforgot;
And when I seek their holy rest
Oh: may this heart recIine,
My Southern home, upon thy breast,
Benestb the MOURNING Pine.

WHY NOT TELL

The past year was very bad one
from business standpoint. Can
any of you recall much harder
one? 1t. is only within the past few
weeks that better feeling and a
better tone has been evident. The
enormous crops, the scarcity and
high price of cattle, the activity
caused by moving the crops, and
the large production of gold have
contributed to the better times. The
election OF woodrow Wilson has
been conceded and accepted as prac-
tically a settled fact all over the
country during all this period of
business revival. There is no un-
certainty. no scare, no fear of the
result. Never before has the out
look for business been better. The
country feels that 1t is certain to
get relief from the unequal burdens
afflicted by the outrageous tariff
laws and the manufacturers prob
ably realize that they can not long
er stem the tide and are ready to
the graft.

A prominent citizen of this COM
muni.y was in Canada not a great
while ago. Being farmer his at
tention was attracted to farming
implements on sale at a large store.
Deering moving machines, made
only in the United States, were Of
fered for s26. The price in the
United States for exactly the same
kind of mower, was s45. The Deer
ing rake, made and sold in the Unit
ed States at SIS was shipped to
Canada and sold for s9.95. Oliver
chilled plows, made in Kentucky,
were priced at $5.75, while at that
time the same kind of plow was be-
ing sold to our farmers for 50.

that this enormous difference, this
