COURTESY in BUSINESS
Clearwater Sum-

In the st. Petersburg Times OF this
morning we find story of local in
terest which is really refreshing. 1t
relates to the importance and desir-
ability of courtesy to the customers
of the stores, and draws compare
son between one business house in st,
Petersburg and one in Clearwater
with the honors all in favor Of this
city. The Times says:
"There is one complaint we have
heard frequently which sometimes
finds justification in fact. It is d.
rected to the lack of business cour-
tesy in St.. Petersburg. Complaints
which we have heard, have been made
as general statements. In that much
they are. In specific cases they are
we'll founded.
The subject was brought forcibly
before us in the experience of local
shopper recently related. 1t was not
an experience in St. Petersburg, nor
was it the experience Of lack of
courtesy. On the other hand, It &C.
Cured in a store in Clearwater and
the story told of the pleasing attitude
of the employees of a county seat
business house.
This man, for it was man. told
how each clerk, the proprietor and
the cashier, each in turn, made him
feel that they were comforting fav-
or upon him in catering to his wants
and in politely suggesting other pos
sible purchases. He recalled later
how unlike this was an experience q
day or two previously in a st. Pc
tersburg store. Here he had waited
several minutes upon entering store
for even a suggestion from a clerk
that the latter might wait upon him
He finally was obliged to walk up to
the silent individual behind the coun-
, ter and ask to be shown the articles
he wished to purchase. Then he was
only waited upon as matter OF
course and without showing OF in.
terest on the part of the salesman.
We do not suppose that either Of
these incidents is typical. We do no,
suppose that all the stores in Clear.
water are of this character, nor dc
we think all of the st. Petersburg
stores are such as this one appeared
to be. However, we can very readily
see that this particular man nigh
gain that impression and that h.
might tell others of it. So the ONT
goo store in Clearwater might hell
all the others there to gain a goo(
reputation and the one bad one herr
give a bad name to business general
ly in st. Petersburg.
Business courtesy pays, not onl,
directly, but in its effect upon tn
good name of the city. Is it you
store, Mr.. Merchant, that helps o
hurts the city? Think 1t over

We have been favored with another
broadside of pro and con stuff in the
controversy between the Clifton at
torneys and the School Board. We
have already allowed both sides to air
their views, and must reluctantly de-
cline to becoming a party to an in
definite prolongation of the discus
sion. The general public has no
great interest in this matter, which
seems to be largely the outcome of
personal animosities, and these it is
always our aim to keep down rather
than encourage.

Lakeland never had any tourists to
speak of until it secured them through
the activities of the Chamber Of
Commerce. And practically all the
good things that have come to the
city have been put over by the earn
est, patriotic, unselfish men who COM
pose it, and who stand squarely back
of its secretary, who, big men of the
State have repeatedly told us, IS one
of the biggest assets Lakeland has.

Let's all save some Gasoline tomor
row-but, if you see some one using
his car to go to church, you have no
right to sit in Judgment on him or
question his patriotism. He may be,
and probably is, carrying out the in
depreciation of the governments re.
quest, and is using his car because
his conscience tells him it is right
for him to do SO. The joy rider is
easily distinguishable from the
church-goer.

C'EST LA GUERRE?

The following clever little poem
from the pen of one of Lakeland's
talented young matrons, appeared in
yesterdays Telegram, and as 1t is
well-worth republication and from
the further fact that line was in
serted in the wrong place, we take
pleasure in reproducing 1t herewith:
Get down the market basket, Ma;
Make haste and dress young Joe;
It's getting on to dinner time,
And you to town must go.
The oil stove is going dry,
The taters, too, are low;
So dust the can and get the sack,
For you must shop, you know.
We're out of sugar, -four and tea,
And onions, too, about;
So get them all-and, yes, a roast,
AS long as you are out.
I'll mind the baby while you're out,
And scrub the kitchen floor,
But, hurry back, If dinners late,
The youngsters sure to roar.
Ma, poor Mrs. Smith is sick in bed
And can't get out today,
And Mrs. Jones baby came,
So do go by, I pray,
And see T there's something you ca
For them while you're in town.
They have no way to get their thing
Since they've been taken down.
The grocers have to buy Thrift
IA STAMPS,
And give to the Red Cross,
So now they can't deliver things,
No matter how they cost.
But, hurry, ma; it's getting late!
Make haste with little Joe;
The grocer don't deliver now,
And you to town must go.

cost OF MILK,
BY CHIEF TUCKER

The annual report of Herbert NJ.
Tucker of Canton. the chief of the
Bureau OF Animal Industry connected
with the State department of agricul-
ture. which has been filed with the
Governor and Council, speaks of the
] cost OF producing milk, showing how
Improbable the dairy business was at
the time a survey Of the whole milk
situation vas made.
+ Mr. Tucker says in his report in
part
t About !. year ago there was started
an organization of milk producers in
the Eastern states, called the New
England Milk Producers Association.
This movement came mono too soon to
save the dairy business. not only for
Maine, but of New England.
This department has given every
assistance possible from the first, to

A RULING AS TO
PAPERS

Attorney General Guy ii. Sturgis;, ut
the request OF Secretary OF State
Frank W. Ball. has rendered an opinion
as to signatures on primary nomina-
ton papers, stating that it is his opn-
ion that the votei: himself must write
his place Of residence upon the primary
nomination paper in order for his name
TO count as a signature Of one Of the
qualified voters within the electoral
, division OF district wherein such
candidate is to DC voted for and there
can be no doubt Of the sUfficiencN Of
ditto marks by person signing a
nomination paper to indicate his place
F.; CT residence.
/ Attorney General Sturgis says in the
. opinion in part
The elective franchise guaranteed
! by our constitution as {. sacred privi-
! lege belonging to the electors must be
exercised at the primaries as well az at
the general election, in accOrda nee with
such rules, regulations and restrictions
as the Legislature has from time to
time deemed it necessary to provide in
i order to prevent false or fraudulent
practices, to preserve the purity Of the
ballot box and thus obtain q fair and
true expression Of the will OF the peo-
pie
IF the nomination paper itself dis,
closes to you strong evidence that
some Of the signers have not personally
written in their place of residence,
you should reject such names when
determining whether or not the would
be nominee has filed sufficient names
to enable him to q place on the primary
ballot.
THE word 'seasonably' could fairly
be construed, it would seen, to me, to
permit of amendment at any time
prior to the expiration Of the time Of
filing provided by statute. In fairness
to the party seeking the nomination.
would advise that notification Of such
irregularity be sent through the mail
and full opportunity Of amendment
given.

In our own state the justices OF our
supreme court in their answers to the
questions submitted by Governor
Garcelon in 1879 had occasion to con-
slider the question of ditto marks and
gave recognition to the fact that the
word ditto and its abbreviation do
and the dots or marks that stand for
the word ditto are of common use

meaning to persons generally, and that
