can find excuse for the attitude of
Aunt Rachel as well as the girl who
waited on, us that morning. Both
were trying to succeed in the things
they had undertaken.
''Aunt Rachel, knowing the truth |
about me, had cast me off because
she believed I would be a milestone |
about her neck, while she was trying
to marry her commonplace daugh- |
tiers to money; and the salesgirl |
picked me instead of Emma because |
she thought looked as though I had |
more money.

No game at ALL said Emma.

looked at me and smiled.
=" You learned that at college, did
you not? Let me tell you, my friend,
the price of labor is not set by the
law of percentage. Like everything
else in this world it is set by the law
of supply and demand.

who want to work in stores, for lit
tie pay, as they live at home. And
while the money does not wholly
support them, it helps and takes
some of the burden off the head of

" These girls set the price of labor.
No business man is going to pay
more than he has to for anything he

more money at the restaurant if you

THE PURPOSE Of the amendment is
to authorize the investment of the per-
mancnt school and university funds in
"hrst mortgage loans secured upon inn
proved and cultivated farm lands
where the amount of the loans SO Sc
cured does not exceed 80 per cent of
the value of the land mortgaged.
THE EFFECT Of the adoption Of the
proposed amendment will be to permit
the legislature to authorize the in
vestment of the permanent school and
university funds in farm mortgages AS
above stated, as we'll as in the bonds
of any county, school district, city,
town or village of this state. Under
Section Six as it now reads bonds can
not be purchased unless they mature
at least five and not more than twenty
years after purchase. If the amend
mcnt is adopted, bonds and mortgages
may be purchased If they mature not
less than i've nor more than thirty
years after purchase.
