II Should Worry" Laughs
the Busy Dollar Hunter-He
Is Quite Right; He Should!

40 Akit>bst IN
What have you got on for October
z and from October 2 to the sixth?
Going to be busy, eh?
We thought so.
Il will be nearer Christmas then, Of
course, and you are figuring on making
Il your banner year, and won't be able
TO get away from the store for a min
ute"
You'll be hustlng down town to get
your doors open before your competitor
ret his doors open, fearful a customer
will get away from you and go over 10
your competitor.
But, possibly, on the street car down,
Or in the back seat of your limousine
which you hire George to drive, you
viii glance at the headlines on the first
page of your morning paper.
And, maybe, you will read there that
some young fellow has been caught or
! shot in the act of robbing safe, or hold
ing up somebody, or something like that.
It is pretty safe wager that you
won't pause in your mad rush down to
business, to get the money" TO give a
thought to your OWN connection with
the crime committed by the young man
when he was caught or shot.
You will satisfy yourself, simply, that
Il wasn't your store or anybody of your
acquaintance that was robbed and there
your interest will end.
You may read in a headline that the
police are holding in custody young wo-
man charged with having stolen mesh
bag belonging TO another woman in a
popular road house near the city.
You may read that this young woman
Is still held by the police, while THE
man in her life, whose name figured fire.
quently with hers when she was first
arrested, has been taken back into his
high calling and into his previous good
standing in society.
And you may say to yourself, az you
contemplate bumper receipts over the
counter: well, ! should worry
The purpose Of these few words is to
tell you that if you make that observa-
tion, you will hit the nail with a VEN
geance and squarely on the head.
You SHOULD worry.
For while you are not part of that
young woman's life, she SHOULD be a
part of YOUR life, and the young man We
have spoken of should be part Of your
life, for the simple reason that ALL
voung women and ALL young men should
and MUST be a part of your life before
you have discharged your full ALLEGATION
to society and to yourself.
We asked you II you would be able
70 get away for few days or a few
hours, say, In early October, because
we wanted TO suggest, In case you could
ret away, that you drop over to Grand
Rapids and attend the meeting that is
going TO be held there of the Recreation
Congress.
You have heard it said, no doubt, that
1dleness Is the Devils worship"
And that "all work and no play makes
Jack dull boy"
You have never stopped to think, We
are pretty positive, in your mad desir,
TO beat the other fellow to the dollar
That 1t is just as important that a boy
or girl knows HOW to play, as it is tina
they know how 10 WORK.
And we are again pretty positive tina
II has never occurred to you that tn,
class of young man you met in the pc
hce item, or that the class Of young wo
man you met in the other police item
sever had chance TO play. or a PLACE
% play, IL there was chance.
