Heart of mine, did not intend you
should ever know. When l found
that Pat loved you determined to tell
you how splendid he was. told my
self that l would make both you and
him happy and then when saw you
sitting before me my loving heart ran
away with what little sanity l had.
Oh, my girl, my girl, l am going to
call you mine just once, for you were
mine that moment you fingered in my
arms, your dear eyes raised to mine,
and then l am going out into the dark
of utter unhappiness> once more. l
know, dear girl, that this is a weak
cry, but for just once to be myself,
just once to reach out my, hand to
you, to tell you l shall love you al
ways will, perhaps, give me courage
to hope that shortly you will have for
gotten that you loved me and that
love brought you unhappiness and
will remember that on all this earth
as long as l am above it shall bless
your name as giving back my faith
in the goodness of women.
Heart OF mine, would keep writ
ing to you Unfortunately, for l know
when the last word is written in this
letter the dream is ended, the whole
great goblet of red wine of love is
spilled and the crystal goblet broken
into pieces.
There, hear it shatter-I can never
put my lips to its sparkling brim
again.
Again, my little sweetheart of a
moment, 1 am saying good-by and
running away from your dear smile,
for if l stayed 1 could not resist it;
l should take you and keep you,
though all the world might say me
nay.
Always your lover in this world and
the next.

When soiIed clothes have to be
kept in the bathroom small barrel,

holes in the sides for ventilation, is
far better than a basket.

does love the most-the one who
gives up all for love or the one who
give up love?

Halloween Party
In West Palisade

Last Saturday evening Miss Caro-
line Steffen gave a halloween party
at her home, Bluff road and Morning
side lane, West Palisade. Friends
from New York and neighboring
towns helped make the affair a huge
success. The decorations, appropri-
ate to the occasion by far exceeded
the usual home decorations of parties.
The many colored autumn leaves and
halloween ornaments were artist
cally blended together, but perhaps
the beauty of the spacious parlor
ought occasion no surprise, inasmuch
as Miss Steffen's brothers, Paul and
George were the decorating artists.
Games, contests and dancing was on
tap throughout the night, save for a
long intermission when the party as
sembled into the dining room and
partook of refreshments of the most
tasty kind. Nero's feasts were like
a dinner in Childs in comparison
Fragrants of the party left at vari-
able hours, but the bigger bulk re-
manned until the last car out was
missed, on purpose. A peculiar CO.
incident took place when the Martens,
from Palisade, Grantwood, Brooklyn,
and New York were introduced. None

Fixing Retail Prices
By J. w. Morton
For THE PALIsADIAN:

For THE PALIsADIAN:
Ten years ago, I expressed my be-
lief that the Patent Laws of the
United States did not give a paten-
tee the legal right to fix the retail
prices at which his product should
be sold, though many manufacturers
were assuming that legal right and
getting away with it. Decisions by
the highest courts have since sustain
ed that opinion.
AS matter of abstract justice,
believe that a patentee should have
the legal right to fix the prices, both
wholesale and retail, at which his
product is sold; but have long doubt
ed the wisdom Of putting forth the
patent right as a basis for arbitrary
price-fixing by the patentee, or of
using this argument to influence leg
islation.
To the average man, the word
patent" suggests monopoly and high
prices. Wherefore congressman shy
at it.
The effective basis of demanding
the legal right to fix prices is the
trademark, which guarantees some
particular quality or excellence, and
which therefore is popular with the
public.
Recent discussion has thrashed out
the pros and cons of the ethical and
practical price-maintenance problem;
but one fact seems to have been
largely overlooked, viz: that no manu-
facturer or patentee who does not
maintain his wholesale prices has any
right to demand the privilege of fix
ing his retail prices. To put it
another way, the manufacturer who
sells his merchandise to very large
retailers at the same prices Tor less)
he charges wholesale dealers or job
bers, helps to defeat one of the most
admirable purposes of price-main-
tenance-the protection of the small
dealer.
Common sense and experience am
ply disprove the assertion that fixed
prices mean high prices. A trade
marked article that is not superior
or for which the price is too high,
cannot survive campaign of pub
nclCy. Inc people are good judges.
The manufacturer, whether a pat
entee or not, who creates an article
of superior merit, and makes it ac-
cessible to the masses who want and
need it, richly deserves protection, es-
pecially against the professional
price-cutter, who often stoops to un-
derhand methods of securing mere
handful of the merchandise marked
for slaughter, thereby displaying the
morals of pirate and the ethics of
a sneak thief.
