All Abuses of Privileges Add to Expense of Doing Business.

lIApS1A1oC oA DGHS3g
 All wastes, all abuses of privileges add to the expense of doing business
 Having little parcels sent that you might have carried, or have had in- cluded with some larger purchase, is one such abuse.
 Delaying monthly payment of bills is another.
 'But,' you say Suppose I do what is fair, and other people do not, what good does 1t do me?'
 The One Way You Can Help. It is just that feeling that keeps more people from trying to improve conditions than any other motive. The thing the average person can con- tribute to any forward movement is the Water-drop of his cooperation the sand grain of his effort to do the square thing.
 And you know what happens when you get enough little drops of wat ter and enough grains of sand together. To be sure, I should like to see the rewards of such effort more fairly divided. l am told that there is a small shop somewhere where they are trying out a twO-price system, one for the customer who pays cash and carries his goods home; the other for the customer who wants credit and delivery
 Here's hoping that system will suc- ceed!

Upon the face of one woman In particular Mrs Taymore, there was a look so expressive that it seemed all most as if she were speaking. Of all the women I had met in the club, liked Mrs. Taymore the best. She did not have as much wealth as did Mrs. Smith, but of brains and tact and bility she possessed much more than the really considerable amount of those qualities belonging to Mrs Smith She was the only woman in the club whom I had ever seen differ from Mrs. Smith on any important question.

STRUCK BY
ELECTRICITY
J. n. krueger Victim Of Queer Acci-
dent on Anschutz Hill Friday
Evening.

]. II. Kruger, who resides on the
river road near the foot Of Anschutz
hill, was the victom of a strange acci
dent last Friday evening. when he was
returning to his home from town about
nightfall.
1t was raining at the time and Mr..
Kruger was carrying a raised UNI
brella. Just as he walked underneath
the light near the head of Anschutz
hill. the electricity was turned on and
a circuit was formed between the
steel rod in the umbrella and the light,
the flash running down the rod and
severely burning Mr.. Kruger.
Despite his burns, he managed to
complete the journey to his home and
medical aid was summoned. His face,
arms and legs were badly burned by
the electric flash and it will probably
be some time before he will be able
to get about again.
Kruger Is employed at the govern
ment lock as carpenter.
The accident was freakish and of
kind that would likely happen at very
infrequent intervals.

GERARD VISITS
WITH PRESIDENT
Ambassador to Germany Spends
Afternoon In Talking Over
Affairs Of the War.
by Robert J. Bender, United Press
Staff Correspondent

tBy Robert J. Bender, United Press
LONG BRANCH. N. j., Oct. "a
Every subject in the German situa-
ton, including the submarine issue,
was to be gone into this afternoon
during an extensive conference be-
tween President Wilson and James
w. Gerard, American ambassador to
Berlin. Gerard arrived at Shadow
Lawn, the summer white house, at
1880, had luncheon with the pres1-
dent and was then expected to spend
most of the afternoon with him. How
long he remains here depends upon
President Wilson, Gerard said. There
is much to be discussed, the ambas-
sador declared, owing to the fact that
this is the first time he has been
back in this country since the war
began. Gerard said he bore no off,
cial communication from Germany
either on the submarine question or
peace possibilities though he expects
there will be a full discussion OF yboth
during the conference. The ambas-
sador said ne did not know when he
would return to his post in Berlin.
He will not go before election, he
said, but after that much depends on
the sailing of ships, as he must take
n vessel that does not touch England
II will be bad form for Gerard to sail
on a vessel touching the shores OF
one of Germany's enemies. The am
bassador said he would take no part
in the campaign.

The boy Is really making remarkable

Shriff is attended constantly by
Agoram, the oldest member of the

of the older man to the younger is

sages Of thanks from both of them.
