 But he cannot see these things. Hs only notices that his wife doesn't go te the hairdresser as often as the stenog- rapher in his office Her shoes are not high-heeled and she does not wear dresses that cling. So in his eyes sht lacks class" and goes out to seek tho class that he wants.
 Then it is that the wife shows tn, intelligence that is hers. Does she si home and pine? Does she greet hin teary-eyed at night and pet and fus. and try to hold him back?

BACKWARD OR FORWARD?

When one sees a business in city
like Albuquerque stand still in normal
times and competitors coming and
growing, the cause OF non-progress
can generally be easily found.
A business that does not go ahead
is apt to run behind. Some new man
is starting up in the same line, who
uses modern methods of advertising
and push. Before the old-timers real
i2e it he is getting the inside track
away from the n-advertising old
timers. Few things stand still in this
world
Newspaper canvassers for adver-
Using are sometimes told by certain
type Of men that they don't need to
advertise for business. Those who
make that claim, however. don't
usually show startling evidence of
prosperity 1t seems strange in these
hustling ana ambitious days for a man
to give himself no concern whether
he increases business.
That attitude in some cases is due
to i'll health or advancing age. Such
men may have n fair amount of pat
ronagc from old customers who have
stood by them for years. and are prob
ably not able to exert themselves. As
a matter Of fact, if they would adver-
tise and get more business. it would
be very likely to make their lives
easier They could afford to hire
more help to relieve them from part
Of the burden they now carry. But
, they can't seem to get ont of their old
habits. But a business that runs in
, that way is apt soon to feel the com
petition of more enterpriSing men. II
is not likely to attract much new
trade, and old customers gradually
move away or die off, and business
shrivcls.
Some who take that point of view
are well enough able to hustle, bu,
are fixed fast to their old trade meth.

GOOD ROADS PAY FARMERS.

Surprising a farmers land IS as
sesSed at ten thousand dollars, and
the additional tax. due to the issuance
Of road bonds is one dollar in 1.-The
thousand. This would add ten dollars
to his tax. But suppose he saves an
hour week when man and team
are worth six dollars a day. His saw
ing for the year on this small item is
S31.20, which is interest on his in
vestment at the rate of 312 per cent.
But any farmer knows that the
saving due to such a road is not con-
fined to so small an item as one hour
week. The wear and tear saved
on team and vehicles amounts to more
than that. The profits on a single
crop taken to market in the nick of
time may be much more than that
In fact. there is no factor that so
vitality affects the value of farm land
or the margin of farm profits as that

part of the cost of transportation from

There are great many people who
would never save any if they depended
merely on general instincts in favor of

OUR NATIONAL DEBT,

Alexander Hamilton was the found
or of our financial system. This is
shown in comprehensive little book
issued by the Bankers Trust company
of New York entitled, "Our Public
Debt"
Hamilton insisted that the federal
government assume the public lebt
inherited from the war of the revo-
/ luton, instead of allowing each state
to bear its own burden. He met with
much opposition, but his position as
first secretary of the treasury gave
him sufficient influence TO carry out
the policy outlined by him.
/ 1t was rare stroke of genius when
Hamilton Cemented the Union by hav.
ing the federal government assume
the lebts of the thirteen separate
states. IT furnished at once a strong
bond of union, since every holder of
federal securities had Il pecuniary in
terest in seeing the federation made
permanent and secure.
For once in his life Thomas Jeffer-
son agreed with Hamilton-an agree
ment so unusual that jefferson gave
Ia banquet TO celebrate the event. To

only small debts to be merged in with
the debts of the states of the north
II was agreed that the national capital
should be located in the south.

launched. 1t has weathered the
storms for years, and 1911 found il
/ strong enough to stand the strain OF
the greatest war in history.
