MY PHILOSOPHY.

It's natchurl enugh, guess
When some gifts more and some gifts
less,
For them-uns on the slimmist side
To claim it amt a fare divide;
And I've knowed some TO lay and wait,
And git up soon, and set up late,
To ketch some Teller they could hate
For goin' at faster gait.
The signs is bad when folks COM
mence
A-findin' fault with Providence,
And balkin' cause the earth don't
shake
At ev'ry prancin' step they take.
No man is CRATE tel he can see
How less than little he would be
Eff stripped to self, and stark and
bare
He hung his sign out anywhere.
My doctern is to lay aside
Confessions, and be satisfied:
Jest do your best, and praise er blame
That follers that, counts jest the
same.
I've allus noticed CRATE success
Is mixed with troubles, more or less,
And It's the man who does the best
That gifts more kicks than all the rest.

SUGGESTIONS FOR CLEANUP WEEK.

The following suggestions for
Cleanup Week are sent out by the
Florida Federation of Women's
Clubs:
If you see in your city "blot,
reach out both hands to help erase
it. House cleaning is contagious.
when your neighbor cleans her lace
curtains, we want to do the same.
Let us set the example on the out
side and see the effect.
Municipal housekeeping is becom-
ing an annual event wherever health
and cleanliness are sought), proving
an enemy to disease.
Let us seek improved surroundings
for home and public buildings by hav-
ing artistic effects prevail on the out
side as we'll as on the inside.
Ask your mayor to issue procla-
nation, declaring the week, Oct. to
IA, as an annual cleanup week, urg-
ing all citizens to enter into joint
effort to make your town perfect.
Ask ministers to preach civic SER
mons on Sunday, Oct. 8, setting forth
community needs.
Suggestions for Cleanup Week,
Oct. 9 to Ia.
l. Take away all the ashes and
trash from your backyard Immediate
ly. Send your rubbish to the dump
ing ground.

cording to the National American
Bakers Association, -four costs SO per

22 per cent more, oil and lard about
10 per cent more and wrapping pa

but water has gone leaping sky high
and water would, doubtless, if it could
run up hill. And then there is the
question of weights and measures,
another matter for commissioners of

tigans commissioner of the Mayors
Bureau of Weights and Measures,
NEARLY 900 violations of the weights
and measures law have been reported
by twenty-five inspectors. If the
public is to pay more for bread, then
let the public know it, instead of at
tempting to decrease the size of the
loaves." "All of which goes to
show" says the suffragist, shat even
our daily bread has to have the eye
of the law upon it and is regulated
in price and weight at the ballot
box"

was just a tiny bit open at the neck
and was finished with . wide fat COL

LESS WOOL SOLD BUT

wool changed hands last week, but

of the recent buying is due to anti
cipation of larger foreign orders,
Sales were held in Sydney and Mel

fancy prices, but little further con-
tracing was done by Bostonians in
the west. Big mills are buying stead
ly. As to buying in the west local
wool men say that recent purchases
there have been at the same figure
that the wool would realize here and
are holding off.
Sales of territory wool here during
the week included $50 bags original
