THROUGH THE NEEDLES EYE

Sitting ut his big desk in the Office
Of the Thornton Manufacturing com.

Thornton dismissed the Stenographer
and told the boy to show the clSfgy-

When Doctor Cotton came in, Mr..
Thornton greeted him cordially, but he
secretly wondered what had brought
the good doctor there so early in the
morning.
I'm sorry to disturb YOU Mt this
hour of the day, Mr.. Thornton" he
said, "but l have just come from the
home of woman whose husband has
died and there's nothing left to bury
him with. I'm trying to raise enough

Can you give me $15 toward IT."
William Thornton knit his brows.

"fcs, 1t was" said Doctor Cotton.
"Well, when Is this thing going to

1T is $50 for hospital fees, another time
It's $40 for coal, another It's $40 for
rent, and now it's $15 for funeral ex-
penscs. When are YOU going to stop
coming, dOctor?"
Doctor Cotton looked him sQuarely
In the eye and answered. "I will stop
coming whenever you wish It, VIII
Ham. DO you want me to stop coming
when you are amply able to help in
such caScs?"
Mr.. Thornton thought minute, and
then replied warmly, "No, doctor, I
cont want YOU to stop coming. I'd
grow as selfish as the devil IL YOU did,
Here's the money, and God bless YOU

CITY BUDGET FOR
NEXT YEAR will
RUN TO Big sum

A lot OF routine matters will come
I'D for discussion at the meeting OF
the board OF supervisors tonight.
Whether or not the matter OF the con-
tjnuance or dfscontinuance OF the Of
flee of City Purchasing Agent will be
acted upon has not yet been decided
Both the majority and the minority
reports have been made TO the board
on this subject, the majority report
asking for the discontinuance OF the
office and the minority pleading to
have the office continued. In the
meantime any city purchases that
may have 10 be made will be attended
to by the city clerk.
A report has been made by the
committee appointed TO look into the
advisa bility of combining the offices
OF poi and milk inspectors, having one
man take care of bo;n jobs. The re-
port is TO the effect that one man
could not properly handle both in
EpeCtions.
MIX and poi the report says,
ARE TO the people Of this city two OF
the most important articles Of diet.
and it is essential that both be pure.
Now, with the necessity for clean food
more than usually before the people,
there must be no let up on the insist
ence upon perfect sanitation where
both milk and poi are concerned"
The report will receive the attention
of the Board of Supervisors this
evening.
Z. A. Mott-Smith, chairman of the
ways and means committee, is busy
with the budget for next year. Al
though this budget does not have to
be prepared until December, in vie"
of the increased demands that viii
probably be made on the city funds,
Mr.. Mott-Smith wants to get the re-
port in as early as possible. AS COM
pared with last year, the funds avail
able will be considerably, greater, but,
to offset this, the demands caused by
war conditions are likely to run the
general total up to figure far in ex-
cess of anything the city has yet
known The law requiring the city
and county to reimburse its employees
who are in the National Guard on &C.
tive duty to an amount that will equal
the deficit between their pay as a
National Guardsman and as county
employe will mean a big additional
outlay il the guard is called into serv.
ice. At the same time, while the law
does not demand it, it would seem but
right and fair, so Mr.. Mott-Smith
thinks, to make the same sort of ar
rangement with regard to any county
or city employee who might be drafted
into the regular army. IT,
These two items, with the increased
cost of labor and supplies, would
make 1t possible and highly prob.
| able said Mr.. Mott-Smith, that the
budget will call for rather start.
lingly large sum, although it is yet
too early to make any positive state:
| ment to that effect"
Not taking into consideration the
allotment to National Guardsmen and
drafted employees of the city and
county, the budget now calls for
100000, with an estimate of SS60,000
as available income.
