The retailer is dependent upon the community for his very existence. He is dependent upon better condi- tions in the community for better conditions in his business and the de- velopment and growth of the com munity for development or enlarge ment of his business. Therefore he is the one man who should be more concerned over the future progress and prosperity of the community that he serves than any other class of membership in the commercial or ganization.
 The retailer is generally the most active in organization work, there fore the commercial organization is most concerned about and work the hardest for the retailer. The Cham Der of Commerce should see to it that proper state laws and city ordinances are passed to safeguard the retailer against the itinerant merchant, ped dlers and transient trader, also legis- lation controlling auction, bankrupt, creditors, railroad and other kind of sales. In doing this the organiza- tion is potecting the legitimate mer- chant against unlawful competition, the enforcement of such laws should be a part of the service rendered the retailer by the c. of c.
 The elimination of graft and use- less advetising which is brought about by commercial organizations will save the retailers of any town, large or small, many thousand of dollars, which ordinarily would have gone through the channels of donations, solicitations and useless advertising.

ElBK'S VALUABLE IRON MINES
Some of Purest Metal In the World ls
Found Here, Although In Small
Quantities.

ut must be admitted that the Eng
lish have not been very generous" re-
marked Napoleon as he surveyed his
kingdom Of Elba from the top of it's
highest peak. Yet a man more modest
than the great Corsican might have
been well content with this fair and
rich little island, to say nothing Of the
title of king.
Elba today has come into a new i'm
portance, owing to the war stimulated
values Of it's iron mines. Some Of the
purest iron ore in the world is found
here in beautiful crystals, although
the quantity is not great enough to be
Of any wide significance.
The little isle includes all ann Of
little Industries in its 10 by IL mile
confines. On the lower slopes there
are fertile little valleys, and along the
beach a tiny fishing industry manages
to thrive. Besides the iron mines
there are famous stone quarries, and
the scenery is rugged and imposing on
a miniature scale. Had Napoleon been
a philosopher he might well have
found contentment here.
But Napoleon was a general and a
builder; instead of settling down to en-
Joy what the gods had left him, he in
stituted all manner Of projects for de-
velopment in his tiny kingdom, and
even conducted from here his least
known campaign. Across the blue wa
ters to the south of Elba is visible
the smaller island Of PianOsa, low ard
fertile. Pianosa was deserted in those
times on account Of the depredations
Of Mediterranean pirates. Napoleon
directed an expedition Of 40 men
against the corsairs with the object of
adding Pianosa to his kingdom. He
probably would have led the pirates a
hard life had not the opportunity for
escape presented itself that led to
France and Waterloo.

Superstitions About Salt.

It is a curious fact that, from the
earliest times, many superstitions have
chung about the use of salt. There is
much evidence in Holy Writ for cere
monial uses Of it. The Mosaic law
commands that every oblation of meat
offered shall be seasoned with salt, a
command that is given, with varia-
tons, in various books of the Bible,
such as Leviticus 2:13 and Ezekiel
16 a. In the old days salt was put
into a child's mouth in baptism, and
in some countries to this day the Gus
tom Is followed Of throwing a pinch Of
it into holy water to ward off the evil
spirit.
