grocer is patient, long suffering, &C
commodating, cheerful, good heart
ed, charitably minded citizen. He
has become a public institution. He
furnishes, without grumbling, free
telephone service, messenger service
and relief in emergencies. He trusts
you when you are broke" and even
lends you money to tide you over the
lean" days.
Did you ever spend few minutes
in the store and hear the grocer at
his telephone? Almost any other
man would lose his temper and say
things, but the grocer smiles as he
talks:
Eyes, nam, pound of coffee; yes,
nam, will send it right over"
What's that? Radishes? Two
punches for nickel. One bunch.
Yes'm, the boy will be right over

THE FAMILY GROCER

A grocer and his clerks write the
Star asking: Cannot the citizens OF
Kansas City help the groceryman and
his clerks? We want half holiday
one day week. Our hours are from
$3.50 o'clock in the morning until z
O'Clock at night and until 9 o'clock
Saturday nights"
If the grocers OF this city want q
half holiday each week during the
summer months II would appear I'M
reasonable in the public to object
when one reflects what the grocery
store Is to every community Of
which his store Il the center. Tho

A little sermon from the Great
Bend Tribune: Whenever a town girl
gets too proud to marry man with
one hundred acres Of land and twen-
ty red pigs, just because he can't tell
the tango from slow gin rickey, you
can set 1t down as fact that she
will either die an old maid or marry
Sc week clerk with a head full of
ozone and only one change of hole
proofs. We would rather see you
hooked up with some fellow who
wears Accent overalls and knows
when to hit the top Of the market
than be yoked to some Cuthbert who
plays the mandolin, smokes Turkish
cigarettes and lives off his fathers
pension. Still, there's no accounting
for tastes. That's why they are es-
establishing courts Of domestic rela-
lions here and there.

Arbiters of fashion, backed by the
manufacturers and dealers, make the
demand for the purpose of compell-
ing everybody to purchase new gar

so tied up and bound to the fash

sist. Every time we come across a
woman with sense enough and force
Of character sufficient to dress mod
estly and becomingly to suit herself,
we feel like taking off our hat and
paying tribute and reverence to one
of the very best specimens of Gods
creations.-Holton Recorder.

A bunch Of farmers over in the
eastern part Of the state says the
Wawkomis Hornet, wanted better
horses and they paid $S2,50O for an
imported stallion and hired an ex-
perienced man at $40 a month to
take care of him. A school board
composed mostly Of these same farm
ers, hired an inexperienced teacher
for their school at $50 per month,
with % pupils, as matter Of econ
omy. Here you are: Care of one
brute, $40 per month, care of 25 hui
man beings, $50 a month. Is the
joke on the teacher or the horse, or
the men who hired both? And yet

Some things are hard to under
stand. One is how the thousands Of
people in Kansas City who showed
themselves strong for war by going
nuts over Roosevelt had been able to
refrain from enlisting and going to
the front. 1t looks like they belonged
to the class who are willing to let
George do it, and they think that
Roosevelt is going to play the part of
George. The worst feature
