feel your good will helped me as much
as the bread and she placed a wreath
of flowers around Reba's head. With
happy heart the girl ran out of the
cave and to the spot where she had
left the baby. She found the child
fast asleep on bed of moss. Gather.
ing It in her arms, she went home.
Here is money enough to get food
and pay our rent" she told her
mother, as she placed the purse on
the table
What Is that glittering on your
head?" asked the mother. Reba took
off her crown and gazed at it in won
der. It was no longer Of delicate
flowers-every leaf was of shining gold
and In the center of each flower
sparkled a ruby or diamond. Across
each golden leaf was written in let
tiers formed by tiny pearls:
"A kind act is the best Of all medi-
cines."
The mother took the crown of gold
and gems to jeweler, who paid her
an immense price for it. With this
money she bought vast estate on
which she and her two children lived
in elegance, while all over her land
were pretty cottages at a low rent for
the widows Of the poor.

Buttons.

Buttons for the most part are unobtrusive.
To many people, especially men, they are uncon-
sidered trifles and unitarian necessities. The
European war, however, helped to bring out the
Importance of buttons. Most of the world except
the United States depended upon belligerent
countries for its buttons, which in reality have
more varieties than the Hindu social scale. Their
materials range from precious stones and metals
to ivory nuts, clam shells, and very recently the
pulp of soya beans.
For some qualities the United States was de-
pendent, too, but it manufactures twenty million
dollars worth or more year, making about one
fourth this value from the shells of fresh-water
mussels The government itself is interested; it
seeks to perpetuate the mussel in western rivers
and it describes the markets of the world fer but
tons of every degree. In two years our exports
have trebled.
The civilized history Of the world did not be-
gin until buttons we're invented, according to
trade paper which does not give the date or the
inventors name. That the manufacture Of COM
mon grades of buttons is itself modern is very ap-
parent. About ninety per cent Of the manufac-
turers who use shells taken from the Mississippi

tember and at once considered uniform system
of cost accounting. The clammers who gather the
shells also came in for consideration as decided
problem. At times these cammers apparently
find their vocation as remunerative as real div
ers for pearls. In six weeks one Of them made a
thousand dollars clear profit and forthwith
knocked off work for the year. Such an inclina-
ton, and it seems to be general among clammers,
causes difficulties for the manufacturers

Reading Advertisements.

Some one has said that newspaper deals
with publicity, part of which is news about cur
rent events, and the other part is news of what
is going on in the stores and business concerns.
The point is we'll taken. When a merchant adj
vertises whether he knows it or not, he is tell
ing news about his store. He Is informing the
public that he has acquired stock of desirable
goods which he is willing to sell at profit to
the satisfaction Of the patron This can be looked
upon as news in the same sense that an article
treating about the war is news.
If the big merchants of the big cities did not
look upon their advertisements as news, they
would not buy the space they do. John Wanna
maker is firmly convinced that every woman in
Philadelphia is interested in the news about his
store, and so he uses full page every day to
keep them posted, besides additional space when
he has merchandising news of more than ordin-
airy interest.
Since advertisements are news it is natural
that the patrons Of a newspaper should like to
read this form of news. There are few women
in Richmond who do not read the news of the
stores of Richmond. They turn to the adver-
tisements of these stores to see what news they
have for the day. If the news tells them that
the store is offering merchandise they need the
women go to that store to buy the articles about
which they have read in the newspaper.

Here Are Both Sides
of National Campaign
BY VANCE c. MCCORMICK,
Chairman Of the Democratic National
Committee

The candidacy Of Mr. Charles E
Hughes is a colossal evasion. 1t may
well be said of him that he never dis
pleases. He is wonder in this re.
gard. His speeches show q studied eff.
fort not to offend the conflicting and
contradictory influences and interests
that are supporting him.
He doesn't do himself justice when
he says he Is hundred per cent can
didate." He is thousand per cent
candidate and then some. His gift, of
"hind-sight" is a marvel of the time.
He Is our leading expert when it
comes to telling how to prevent wars,
strikes and economic disaster, after
they have been prevented. He excels
in every element Of the professional,
otfice-seeking politician. He is all
things to all men.
Mr.. Hughes is running true to form,
in his deceptive, evasive way. He is
playing the game as the forces that
dictated his nomination would have
him play it.

Every American, be he farmer OF
manufacturer, employer or employe
capitalist or wage-earner, owes it to
himself to give some study to the

and imports Of the United States dur
ing the last few years. Their signifi

prosperity is highly important.

ton, SO there can be no controversy
regarding their authenticity.
Much has been said about the extent
to which the European nations are
preparing to compete for the worlds
trade as soon as the war Is over. Look
at these figures: In 1914 this country
exported $14.OOO,oO0 worth of metal
working machinery. In 1916 it export
porteded SCI 100000 worth. In 1914 we
exported s1S2,700.0OO worth. What
better proofs could there be OF
Europe's determination to be indus
trially prepared?

THE GLuT OF GOLD.

Gold continues TO come to New York,
despite enormous sales of securities Cor

weeks nearly a hundred millions have
arrived from the Ottawa branch Of the
Bank Of England alone. Since the out.

metal have amounted TO 1898 1927 900
from which exports $3.50, l22,000 are to
be deducted, thus leaving a net gain Of
$437 POS, 900. To this huge sum is to be
added the domestic production (about
$3.50, 000, 000) for the twenty.three
months, 50 that our gold reserve must
have increased by nearly seven hundred
millions.
