Much credit is due the Cairo Re-.
tail Merchants Association and the
cairo Commercial Club in obtaining
this improvement which means so
much to Cairo. The FIRST move was
made by the former organization
about four months ago, and the ac-
ton of that organization was fol-
lowed by the Commercial Club and
its first meeting thereafter The
matter was taken up with senator's
and congressman, with the inter-
state commerce commission and VITA
the officials of the railroads. The
secretaries of the two organizations
worked assidiously, and the result
Of their lsbors backed by two infiu.
entail bodies of citizens is realized
in the decision of the railroads TO
restore the incline. It is only an
other example OF what can be ac-
by concerted action.

THE TAX ON MARRIAGES

Each individual IN the United
States must pay normal income
tax OF l per cent, but each individ-
uai is entitled to a deduction OF
$4,000 from his income, and only
the excess over that sum is subject
TO tax. says the Memphis News
Seimitar. If two of these individuals
marry they will no longer each be
entitled to a deduction of $4,000
each, but of only $4,000 for both
together, or $4,000 each.
In other words, John and Ann
each have an income Of $4,000. and
SO long as they are single they
need pay no tax But IL they marry
they must each pay on $1,000. be-
cause their two incomes amount to
$4,000, and they are together en-
Titled to an exemption of only $4,000
Is this provision intended to dis

Advertising and Early Christmas

1IduEt
While the annual slogan of shop
early" is always in order while look
ing forward to the Christmas rush
II is also wefl for the merchant to
tell the public of his holiday stock
early so as to create the shop early
spirit.
Trade follows the advertising.
Where merchants don't tell the peo-
pie about their holiday stock until
December is we'll under way, the
public does not realize that holiday
goods are In and make no special eff
fort to hunt for gifts.
All the stores are today carrying
goods suited in every way for holt
day trade. An early trade can be
created by the simple expedient of
telling the public what they can do
at this stage of the season.
To the outsider at least. It would
seem as if the merchants would like
this trade distributed over as many
week as possible In that way they
can avoid hiring extra help, and
the public VIII be better satisfied if
it avoids hasty'buying. ReruIar ad-
vertising promotes and establshcs
this regular current of business.

pOIITENESS PAYS.

politeness as mere veneer. The
pleasant smile. the spirit of help
fitness. the ready sacrifice are not
of the exterior alone.
A good manner. like the good ma
ture that is q part of 1t, is not a
thing to be thrown on and off with
dress coat. 1t is of the man as
the aroma is of the rose.
The polite man is at tremen-
dous advantage. He can win favor
and fortune under circumstances
where the ioose-niannered and SLOW
enly-spirited is left to grumble in
failure. 1t is net altogether because
of his politeness. It is chiefly be-
cause of the sterling character that
lies back of It and gives 1t birth,
Politeness is good capital In any
business. A Cleveland street car
conductor has proved it so, and SO
has every other man who ever
made good manners part of his
equipment.
This conductor gave little bet
ter service than he was supposed to
be paid for. He was careful of the
comfort and safety OF the children
the ladies, the old men and the
cripples who rode on his car. He
met querulous complaints with pleas
ant smiles and kindly words.
He collected no more fares for the
company than any other conductor
He was no more efficient and faith
full in other respects perhaps than
hundreds Of his fellows.
But, somehow, that one advantage
was sufficient. In his kindness to
his passengers he was unconsciously
kind to himself. He came to be Sc.
lected for special runs where cour.
tesy was of special Importance
And now he has been made dis.
patcher.
He has won his way to a good
place by his politeness, Just as mil
lions OF other men have done ir

lions more will do in time to come.
