1t is to be regretted chat individual
courtesy in the household is at so low
an ebb. We treat our guests with
favor and bestow upon them every
mark of polite attention; but the min
ute they are out of the house we slip
back into the old ruts. and treat those
about us with an indifference that bor-
ders on contempt, Not that this is
Intentional; rather it is the result Of
carelessness. a failure to realize that
the polite attentions, the little things,
count so much to those we love as to
some outsider who becomes a member
of : family for day.

How many soaps can you name off
hand? This is not new story but it
is worth repeating. A friend went to
a large soap manufacturer and said to
him: See here, you are spending a
fortune in advertising. Why do you
waste your money!" How many soaps
can you name?" asked the soap manu-
factnrer. The friendstudied and nam
ed six-all advertised brands. That's
the answer" replied the soap manu-
facturer. Out of the hundreds of soaps
made you can only name six and mine
heads the list / can't afford not to
advertise" Ths soap manufa cturer
was large user of space in the daily
newspapers. He died the other day
leaving an immense fortune and u
name known from one end of the coun-
try to the other.

Whereas, We know OF our own
knowledge that all such interest earn
ings have been paid directly TO the
society of Modern Woodmen of Amer
lea, and transferred to head banker of
the said society; and
Whereas, We know of our own
knowledge that Head Clerk Halves has
not received a single cent of interest
on the society's funds from any of
the banks comprising the Rock Island
Clearing House association, therefore
be it
Resolved That we, the members of
the said Rock Island Clearing House
association, do deeply deplore the fact
that such charges have been made,
and that we denounce and condemn
in no uncertain terms those who are
responsible for such charges. belfe~-
ing them to be circulated purely for
political effect, and, be il further
Resolved That we hereby express
our unbounded confidence in. and take
genuine pleasure in certifying to. the
fact that we regard Major c. w.
