Rolled
Oats

This is the time OF year when Rolled
Oats are In the greatest demand, when
stocks are largely exhausted and the
manufactured product is not available
from the new crop until late in the
Fall. To overcome this condition that
seems TO occur annually, we have or
dered from our st. Louis connection
over $4,000 bags Of Rolled Oats and
have placed them In the hands Of the
New England wholesalers and grocers
at price that will enable the consumer
TO purchase a bag Of Rolled Oats at a
price consistent to the feeding value,
much less than any other product for
human consumption.
We suggest every family order a 90.
pound bag of Rolled Oats from their
grocer. Rolled oats and Cream OF
Maize are considered the best substi
tutes to use with wheat -four. A person
can do much work easier by eating
Oatmeal than by using any other cereal
or meat.

GOLD FISH SHOP.

There was great deal of excite
ment," said Daddy, "in a shop which

The excitment, however, was entire
ly among the goldfish. The canaries
sang quite happily, the parrots talked,
scolded and shriSked, but none of the
birds We're the least bit excited
THE goldfish were very nervous.
They were splashing and wiggling their
fins and saying to each other as they
nudged past in swimming, Whatever
will we do?'
And another would answer. There
Is nothing to do. We simply have TO
wait. But, oh, how sad for the ones
who will be chosen. How very, very
sad! How extremely sadr
And then they would grow more
e--cited than ever for no one knew
which one would be chosen, and each
thought it would be the one to be
chosen next.
How nervous they We're! And they
Kept growing more nervous. They be-
gan to feel quite ILL., and as they did,
their dorsal fins dropped and did not
stand up straight on their backs as
dorSal fins should do.
'Dorsal fins show whether a fish is
well or sick. If the dorsal fin on q
hsh's back is down and does not stand
up the fish is not at all well. A fish
is feeling in fine health and spirits
when his dorsal fin is up straight.
But these goldfish in the shop were
very nervous and they felt as if they
would be i'll is they grew any more
nervous.
1T went on for long, long time, I'M

another bowl said,

Now the Japanese fish was in an
other bowl with a few other expensive
flsh and they We're quite different in
their markings from the goldfish. The
one who was speaking was of silver
and gold coloring. and another one
was quite black with queer pudgy eyes.
They were all a little different and they
were supposed to be very fine.
Usually the regular goldfish be-
haved far better than the special fish.
They were healthier and gave less
trouble to the shopkeeper or to those
who took fish home in bowls and put
them in aquariums.
Though we may be cheaper the
goldfish used to say to the expensive
fish, we are very healthy and we live

the Japanese fish, smiling with his
shiny, staring eyes.
No. said the goldfish.
"'What thenT asked the Japanese

The sign said,' continued the gold
fish, that there were goldfish in this
shop to carry home! 1t said nothing
about bowls or aquarium-it said we
were to be carried home. And of

The Massachusetts constitutional con

have always wondered why the oldest

ing to have a merry go-round of poll

has endorsed the plan for biennial elec.

such change a number of years ago
The Athol Transcript, a weekly paper
which does its own thinking, looks at
the situation in the following light:
ut is an anachronism, bold and palpable
that the most enlightened state in the
union should be the only one to cling
to so Anticipated a political measure
There seems to be only two classes of
people who stick to the old order Of

ton, this might be said: No matter if
you have a humble job, try to think
out how it can be done to the best ad-
vantage. If you are merely sweeping
up the floor try to get that floor clean
er than any other place in town.
Don t spend time figuring how you
can get Advancement through pulls or
friendship. The best way is to put
your whole mental power on the Job
that you nave. Try to see if they can
give you any ideas.
The new worker should try to re-
member to grasp completely all instruc-
tions. Many noviees in business can 7
get an idea merely by being told. They
have to do thing over and over again.
If you have trouble in remembering
instructions, try putting them down on
paper when they are fresh in your
mind. Then reflect on them and see
that you, know them completely.
The reason why many people fail, is
that they are unable to concentrate at
tention. Their minds are full of out
side interests. But the person who de
votes his whole attention to his iot
