The Glad Hand in Business.

There is nothing like democracy il
business. BY that it must not be un.
derstood that the head of a concern is
to see every peddler and insurance
agent, but if the business man is ac-
cessible and greets you with a glad
hand, and in a pleasant manner turns
you over to the proper departmental
head, you go away from the office sat
isfed, and in nine cases out of ten con-
tinue to patronize the firm. The great
point is to make a caller satisfied with
his visit, and this should be the special
function of the head of a firm. The
man who is of the independent class
can never do it. Ne one can be indie
pendent. The larger a business is the
more the proprietor is dependent on
those around him. The Poster.

Busted Bank Light.

"And God said, Let there be light;
and there was light.
And the creditors of the defunct bank
are pleading for light and longing for
what is honestly theirs the additional
AZ per cent
What wonderfully great change has
taken place since our creator gave his
command Where's the light on our
collapsed bank affairs How dark.
No iightI AS an earthly guardian of
the rights and welfare of humanity our
government compares unfavorably with
our heavenly protector.
We say, no light, Take it back.
There's a glimmer which reveals that
before the bank failed creditors were
being tilched and didn't know it. What
do they know now, yet can't prevent?
Last fall there was a favorable OPP
portunity of getting another dividend
of about 25 per cent. That would have
cut down the AZ per cent still due TO
trlfllng balance, and II the affairs
CHANGED to have been wound up on that
basis government officials would have
been entitled to some credit and ma
jority of the creditors, It's believed,
would have been satisfied.
But what can be got now-l5, 10. 05
per cent or nothing? The expense of
dilly dallying and good salaries are still
undermining the bunch of money be-
longing to the creditors. How long
before the little pile will be devoured
win the heirs of the original credi-
tors get any dividend?
The rule is, the man who does not
care for expenses does not pay them.

Winter Always Passes.


We see the surface Of the Earth COW
cred with snow, Frost has pressed
hard the soil beneath. Branches are
bare of foliage and no signs of life are
seen in the fields. But nature is at
work behind and under it all Silently,
steadily, she is collecting forces that
shall cause green shoots to push up
through the earth chat has kept them
down, and win their way out into the
light. Sap will be drawn up TO the
branches and the leaves will unfold out
of the tiny brown buds. Springtime
will come and transform all nature into
life and bloom and JOY
Life may be dark 1t may seem that
all JOY has gone out Of it. 1t may seem
an existence without life, like that of
the bare, sapless trees. Yet believe it
is true that there is force behind it
ALL There is power that is working
for good This winter of our discon-

Joy in life will again clothe the barren
tree with foliage and blossoms. Only
keep faith alive and the drearest win

Matrimonial Science.


A Bay State woman declares the
proper way for young man to make
sure of the character of his sweetheart
is by studying her parents. She says
it is only reasonable that the daughter
should be a copy of the mother though
the mother may be short and fat and
the daughter tall and willowy. Also,
take look at the head of the house.
If he looks worried and unsettled, be
around when he arrives home and note
how his wife greets him. a social
worker has an idea that many unhappy
marriages might be prevented if the
Young man had to truthfully answer
these questions
How long have you known this young
woman
Where did you first meet her?
Why do you think you love her?
How much money have you in bank
What business occupation do yot
follow?
How much do you earn each week

The senator expressed great interest in

from entry all goods manufactured
wholly or in part by children under IA

WILLIS WINS
SPELLING BEE"
Newspaper Men and States
men Make Merry in
Washington

Washington, June 5.-An old-fa shioned
spelling bee, conducted by the National
Press club of Washington, and billed as
a contest between newspaper men and
statesmen, was won tonight by Repre-
sentative Frank 3. Willis of Ohio, after
10 Washington correspondents, seven sem
ators and seven members of the House
had been spelled down.
1t was an evening of merriment in
which President Wilson, Secretary Bryan
and host of other official folk joined.
David F. Houston, Secretary of Agri-
culture, and long a schoolmaster, was
'the pronouncer." He encouraged the
speller at first by a series of easy words,
giving Senator Ashurt of Arizona "cac-
tus' and Senator Poindexter moose
but so on he dealt the most difficult words
he had been able to find after a careful
search of the dictionary. The ranks of the
30 spoilers thinned quickly and finally only
Senator Poindexter and Representative
Willis remained. The senator misspelled
mer schoolmaster himself, was awarded
the championship.
Some of the words missed We're 'aca-
cia, canteloupe, exsiccate, fuchsia. cedre-
laceous, caoutchououc, daguerreotype,
folificeous, ecumenical, laryngeal, recon-
naissance, desuetude, epicene, gneiss, ci-
Clique. infeoff, quintessence, ogee, beryl-
line and bdellium"
Before the spelling bee, Secretary Bryan
read an "ode to the printing press"
The President saw and heard, for the
first time some talking moving pictures.
The occasion was the anual ladies' night
celebration of the National Press club.
