the last words I heard you say were
those same words you used when we
were just about to go away just now:

That good luck call of yours has

The man then pulled out DILL fold

Chicago Judge Goes
Solomon One Better

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Solomon was
the wise man when it came to decid-
ing which of two women was the
mother of child, but even he might
have been puzzled today to decide
which of two colored women should
move after it was found that they
could not inhabit the same building
peaceably. Judge Hugh r. Stewart in
the South Clark street court did it,
however. Here's how

CHINA NEEDS THE LEAGUE
OF NATIONS.

n HE Shantung territory
VI should go back to China
Practically the whole
world agrees to that, even ia
pan, though the mikado wishes
to take a little time about the
matter. The most certain way
to insure the return of Shan
tung is to form the League of
Nations. The league will have
adequate machinery for hand
ling just such questions as this
if need arises
The senate foreign relations
committee voted to radically
change the Shanttng provision
in the peace treaty. With tthe
sentiments of the committee on
this subject few will differ but
the good Judgment of the ac-
ton taken is open to serious
question. That action if en-
dorsed by the senate, might
mean defeat of the treaty and
defeat of the League of Ma
tions. Out of alleged friend
ship for the Chinese the whole
civilized world would be de-
nied a great forward step and
China herself would be one of
the chief sufferers because
China needs the league. With
out league China becomes ia
pans oyster.
The Lodge forces in the sem
ate are not indulging in state
craft. They are working poll
tics at a bad time. They are
piffling when they should go
on a higher plane. The world
has a chance to obtain a great
temple of faith, friendship and
peace. The senate committee
is trying to butcher the job with
a bucksaw.

THE RETAILER is A VICTIM

u some others is singled
out for criticism in con-
necton with increased living
costs. He is at times deserving
of censure but taken as a class
the retailer in the small city or
town has profited least of all
from advancing prices and has
worried most.
BY the nature of things, the
retailer is in no position to be
much of a profiteer. The re-
tail business is highly competi-
tive. Anyone with little cap
ital can enter the business any
time he chooses. Many try it
and find that the retailers life
Is no bed of roses. Where is
the retail merchant who has
made any such money as pre-
ducers have earned in recent
years?
The retail merchant must
live with his customers year in
and year out. He must look
them in the eye and answer
their questions. Forced to
choose between their friend
ship and his logical profits he
is likely to sacrifice some on
the score of profits. You may
not know it but this very thing
is being done in countless
small cities and towns all over
the west. Except in rare in
stances the average merchant
is making little more than his
pre-war profits. That means
he is making about so per cent |
of his normal profits for a dol
lar is no longer dollar in pur-
chasing power.
In the big cities where busi-
ness is on a more impersonal
basis and where much of the
trade is transient the story is
different. Those men have
marked up their prices, some
times more than is necessary.
Try them out and you will OBJ
serve this fact.
Travellers all report that
prices are higher in the east ]
than in the west and that the d
larger the city the higher the ;
prices range. There are trav-
cling men who buy their own
clothing and even groceries in
country cities or towns because
they find country retail prices !
are at times lower than the
current wholesale prices.

tins. The average country re-
taller is a victim and he has the h
figures to show it if you wish to
see them.

No man can be complete orchestra by himself
Following that simple dea the E. R. Parker System
recognizes that be complete dental estab-
lishment by himself.
And SO the Registered Dentists using the Parker
System are men who have been trained to do some one
kind of dental work particularly well by doing much
of it.
The kind of work your teeth require is done by the
dentist who is trained in that kind of work. just as the
man who knows how to play the violin is the man who
has been trained to play the violin in an orchestra.
Thus the dental work done under the Parker System
is as good as can be done anywhere.
And the prices asked for this kind of work are more
than reasonable, for specialists lose no time and time
saved is money saved, and this saving is shared with
the patient.
If you think that Dentistry under the Parker System
is done the right way, in, have your teeth ex
amined Free and learn in advance how little the price
will be for having your teeth properly cared for

WILLIAMS HOPES
TO EVEN SCORES
WITH SPEEDbA[L

The largest crowd that has ever at
tended a boxing contest in Phoenix is
expected to be on hand Friday even
ing when Rufus Williams and Speed
ball Hayden mix it in a ten-round bout
to determine the colored middleweight
championship of the United States.
Four other events are included on the
program, one a battle royal.
Hayden is recognized by the Police
Gazette, authority on all matters per-
tanning to the ring, as the present
holder of the colored middleweight
title. Hayden has yet to suffer defeat
in the ring after three active years
and only twice during this period has
he been held to a draw. Later, he got
verdicts over these men.
In his first appearance here three
weeks ago, Hayden electrified Phoenix
fans with his lightning movements in
the ring. One would hardly believe
that man of such big build could be
so fast. but once he steps within the
squared circle, he is 1.-THE as panther,
as cunning as a fox and as swift as
a dear.
In fact, Speedball's ring work more
closely resembles the movements of a
bamtamweight than a middleweight
Williams, ring master that he is, had
trouble in locating Speedball in this
first engagement. Every time he
started blow, Hayden was dancing
out Of reach and then countering with
stiff right and left jabs to body and
face.
However, the greater experience OF
the ''old master" stood him in good
stead for the first six rounds of the
bout and he had big lead when the

day in the Williams camp. Rufus is
several pounds below the stipulated
1872 pound limit, it is announced, and
will be able to take on several pounds
before he jumps on the scales at weigh
in time at o'clock Friday afternoon.
Hayden, one of the most deceptive
boxers in the game as to weight,
looks even heavier than on his previ-
GUS visit, but his trainers say that he
will have no difficulty in making the
weight.
Details of the two preliminary events
and the semi final will be announced
tomorrow. six of the largest negro
boys of the city have been engaged
for the battle royal which is being Of
fered as an added attraction.
