STORIES OF THE ROLLING DOLLAR
The DAVIS Work of Wise Old Coin
Copyright, 1914

'The minister's wife took the two
of us to the furniture store, anG
bought new rock chair. The same
day | went into the butchers till
back into the bank, and the next
day into a jewelry store. The jew
eler bought some new lighting fix
lures from the man in the next block,
so / moved down there, and then out
into the country again when the fix
ture man bought new horse. No,
couldn't pay for that horse all by
myself, the others were new bills,
fresh and crisp.
"The man who sold the horse took
me to the planning mill, and I heard
him say he could square up now that
he had sold the horse. I went out of
the mill Saturday afternoon as wages,
and on Monday I landed in a shoe
store. The man who carried me
there said the boss had given him
the raise he had been promised, be-
cause business was looking up now.
At any rate, the shoe man had a new
show window put in his store, and I
helped pay for that. Right away I
was dropped in the cash register of
a restaurant, and then back here to
the grocery store. Well, we'll see
one another often l guess, you re
bound to move around in Centerville.

brother again? Why, did you ever
see any of the money that is sent
to Chicago or Buffalo or St. Louis or
New York coming back this way?
The mail order houses don't pay any
thing from this district-their bust
ness is to sell to the folks here and
then let them rustic around as best
they can to sell what they grow or
make. The mail order house doesn' It
help you any to get the money, but
it will help you to get rid of it by
buying in larger quantities than you
need and sometimes buying things
you can't afford just because the
picture in the catalog looks so nice.

a street improvement in Buffalo or
he helped-just little bit-to pay
for dinner in some Chicago grill.

SOMEWHAT PREVIOUS

The coming back of disappointed
men who thought to make homes in
Canada, is reminder that while there
are good lands in central and north
western Canada, it is too soon to
hope for a great farming country
in British Columbia, for there it is
land of glaciers that are moving ir-
resistibly to the sea, and while a part
of them have done their work and left
soil for men to cultivate, it is too
soon to go there, for the frosts and
storms are sure to be encountered by
those who would make their perman-
ent home there. ]. Pentomy, a Mis-
sourian. who was in Dallas this week
viewing the country, has but recently
returned from an extensive trip
through Canada, and while not disap-
pointed in its possibilities for money

LOCAL DEALERS
BUSY SETTLING
SPECIAL TAXES
FEW DAYS REMAIN WHEREIN
SPECIAL WAR TAXES MAY .
BE PAID.

Americas dealers whose wares come
under the ban of the special war
this morning at the office of the rev.
enue collector in the postoffice build
ing, taking out the special license re-
quired. Only few days remain in
which this can be done, the tax be-
coming effective next Tuesday, and
as heavy penalty is imposed for any
violation of the law it behooves those
affected to get busy today.
After the first of December the
penalty provided by law will be lev
led on all those who fail to pay, and
this means quite an item on the whole
which can be avoided by payment
now.
The new stamp act, affecting chew
ing gums, various preparations handl-
ed by drug stores, vaseline included,
goes into effect next Tuesday. The
stamp act also applies to bills of lad
ing, legal documents, and various and
sundry other memoranda, all becom-
ing effective December 1.
All tobacco dealers, whether selling
chewing, smoking tobacco, snuff or
cigars, have only couple of days
more to pay their new revenue tax to
Uncle Sam without also paying a
penalty. The same applies to brok-
ers, commission merchants, pawnbrok-
ers and others liable under the new
emergency revenue act. Pool room
operators, whether charging or not,
also have to pay for each table.
