Sunday shaking hands with his
numerous Dresden friends
and, by the way, looking after
special interests. Dunlap is
one of the foremost and most
successful politicians in the
state. He is head and Shout

above the breakers. There is
a bright and prosperous ca
reer ahead of this able young
man.
The 14-months-old babe of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Taylor, of
Sharon, died Saturday of chol-

The little daughter of DR..

playing at her home in Sharon

would rather be right than presi-
dent is the principle followed by many
retail merchants.
There is no right without a parallel
duty, no liberty without the supremacy
Of the law. no high destiny without
earnest perseverance, no greatness
without self denial.
As a dispenser of important services
in any town none compares with the
retail merchant.
Perhaps the first benefit of impor-
lance is the endless accommodations
which he extends his customers His
books show that where misfortune.
sickness OF loss Of occupation over
takes his customers he is frequently
obliged to carry them for many months.
Honest Men Get Credit.
The man who has not established a
reputation for unreliability or dishon-
esty is reasonably sure of securing
credit for the asking. And the extern
sion Of credit Is equivalent to making
loans without interest. And who would
ask or expect any such favor of. any
one but q merchant or a very close and
dear friend?
The local town to be a desirable
place to live in must have police and
fire protection. it must have bridges,
Improved streets. water sewers and
good schools. To secure these neces-
sary improvements and to maintain
them taxes must be levied. The local
merchant pays a large share OF the
taxes.
Among other things, the local mer-
chant Is continually forced to contrib
ute to all manner OF charitable enter
prises, both public and private. He Isl
the local benefactor, inasmuch as he Is
the employer OF labor. Numerous
young men and women find employ
ment in his store, and as the result OF
his investment and efforts many dol

Rich Man Knows No. What He Wants

Hich Man Knows Not What He Wants
The Woman's Home Companion has
an article in which this passage oc-
ours: "The nuisance for the man who
has acquired great financial resources
usually is that he doesn't know what
he wants. Possessing the resources
and feeling the moral necessity to
have recourse to them, he looks about
for something to want, and he selects
the most costly thing. The acquisi-
ton of this most costly thing always
involves, In practice, the separation
of the rich man from society. Thus,
he will acquire large estate, or sew
eral large estates, and cut himself of
from the world by gates, doors. mils1
of drive, lodgekeepers, menials and>
secretaries. Or he will acquire g.
0O0-ton yacht and cross the Atlantic
privately, though less quickly, less
comfortably and even less privately
than on a great liner. Or he will keep
private orchestra, instead of being
seen at concerts. All which, though
magnificent, Is antisocial and silly, and
Is secretly felt to be so by the rich
man when he happens to wake up in
the middle Of the night and can't go
to sleep again."

up TO PRESIDENT
Railroads Await His Decision
as to Plan of Operation.
Pooling Systems Under Direc-
tOrate Relieves Congestion.

washington, Dec 10.-The rail-
roads laid their case before President
Wilson today. Their plan to continue
private control with government aid
rather than pass under complete gov
eminent management for the war was
presented thru Senator Newlands,
Nevada.
The railroads war board at a con-
ference with NewlandS furnished him
with statistics showing marked i'm
provements in the freight situation
since the operating committee of vice
presidents took hold a fortnight ago.
The board requested billion dollar
government loan or guarantee of rail-
road credit, reduced passenger traffic
and higher freight rates.
Relief from wage problems thru a
government wage fixing board and
prohibition of strikes also was urged
by the railroad executives.
Believe Govt. Won't Take Over Lines.
Prior to Newlands' conference with
the president, the White House init
mated that a decision would shortly
be announced. Authorities have be-
lieved for days that the president
would take over the roads for the
war. He is reported to be looking
for a federal transportation admins
traitor.
Stockholders in the roads are press
ing for a government control and a
guarantee equal to the average re-
turn they have received for the last
five years.
But the highest railroad circles still
believe that government operation is
not imminent.
Declaring the present management
is operating the carriers to the high
est possible efficiency, the railroad
executives expect the White House to
decide in favor of financial aid, rather
than serve notice on the lines that
they have failed in their war efforts
