DEAR FOLKS:
This, is the week of all
weeks in the year when

all OF us pun ourselves TO-
gether and try to qualify under
the banner-"PURITY."
The occasion calls for serious
thought as regards our conduct
in both our business and pri-
vatc affairs.
I think we all realize now that
Business is not exempt from
the Moral Code.
1t has to carry the banner OF
"PURITY" if it is to get any
where in public esteem. I wish
to call your attention to the
fact that this word "PURITY:
consists of six letters and fits
in with the Cycle of Six which
plays so big part in the vii
son & Co. business.
But | want to tell you also that
while all of the other things
that enter into the Cycle OF Six
arc important not one of them
has the place in the Real Heart
Of the Wilson. & Co. organiza-
ton that the word "PURITY"
has.
The officials and the $4,000
workers are all impressed with
the Importance of "PURITY"
in food production.
Producing PURE FOODS is
the business of Wilson g. Co..
and officials and workers real.
ize that there is no closer rela-
tionship in all the world be-
tween any form of business and
the people than that of dispens-
ing PURE FOOD. a..
The Wilson & Co. organization
has fitted itself to produce
PURE FOODS by establishing
within itself those relations be-
tween officials and workers that
are necessary to bring about alb
solute confidence in one another
and to'work on the big prin-.
ciple of giving one another as
well as the public a SQUARE
DEAL, which to my notion. is
one of the highest forms of
"PURITY."
Does not this spirit influence
their thoughts and actions.
and does it not make them put
Honor in their work.
"PURITY" in foods is essen
tlal, just as "PURITY" in all
else that makes life useful.
helpful, clean and unselfsh IS
necessary.

A Woodcutter's Boy

Once upon a time there lived in
a great forest little boy with his
father. His father was wood
cutter and he took the boy with
him to cut down trees. One day
they went far into the forest
where the trees were larger The
boy told his father that he would
like to go home after some bread
and meat. His father told him
that he would get lost, but the boy
said he would not, so his father let
him go. He got to the house and
got the bread and meat and start
ed back. On his way back he
heard noise and looking around
he saw a bear. The bear saw him
and started after him. They ran
and ran until he saw house. He
ran into the house and the woman
asked him what he wanted in her
house. The boy told his story and
the woman gave him gun to shoot
the bear. The boy shot the bear
and started on. He had passed his
father and got lost in the deep for
est. When night came he saw a
light. He went up to the light and
found that it was his father looking
for him. He took the boy home
and they went to bed. The boy
never asked to 60 home after any
thing more.

Richmond boys and girls will
get their first 1919 view of a circus
In full regalia when the trains of
{ the Sells-Floto circus arrive in this
city next Tuesday morning.
/. Being the first circus of the sea
son the Sells-Floto circus is sure
to get great greeting from the
youngsters, who have been wait
ing for this great deal" long
time. Many have saved their pen
MES, five cent pieces and dimes to
go to the circus.
And only few days more and
the big circus with its elephants,
lions, tigers, horses and all kinds
Of jungle beasts will be here.
The clowns forty Of them will
serve to amuse the boys and girls
as only clowns can. Freddie Biggs,
the worlds funniest clown and thir-
ty-nine of his brother clowns will
cavort up and down the sawdust
track, amusing the kiddies as well
as the grownups.
Elephants and clowns are among
the fayorites with children at
circus. They laugh at the clowns
and like to feed the elephants with
peanuts and carry water to them If
the boss Of the elephants will al
low them. The Sells-Floto circus
has the greatest herd of elephants
in the world. Some Of them were
captured in the jungles Of Africa,
others come from India.

known in the language of circus

was captured. He was cornered by
the hunters sent out by the Sells
Floto circus and seeking refuge in
the village he met other hunters.
Well, when Mr.. Elephant got
through, that village looked like
cyclone had hit it. That is why
they call this elephant Cyclone"
But he has been a good elephant
since coming from Africa and be-
haves just like all good little boys
and girls should. He never tries
to run away; goes to school every
day except Sundays, for elephants
have schools as well as girls and
boys. He is fond of girls and
boys, especially IL they feed him
peanuts, pop corn and sweet meats.
Elephants with the Sells-Floto
circus are able to perform all sorts
of tricks. The elephants perform
in three rings.
The arenic performance compris-
es seventeen distinct displays and
includes remarkable acrobatism,
gymnastic displays by noted men
and women of the circus world.
Bucking bronchos and wild west
riding tax the greatest skill Of the
riders.
The parade will leave the circus
grounds at $50 a. m. Great band
chariots drawn by six and eight
horse teams, goregeously carved
and decorated, tableaux cars and
animal dens, several herds Of ele-
plants and an army of splendidly
costumed people give animation
and radiant coloring to the display.
The afternoon performance be-
gins at 2:15 o'clock and the even
ing show begins at 8:15.

Do 1t Yourself

When Dan Boone's old buckskins
gave out hind and fore,
Did he call in tailor to make him
some more?
He did 'em himself.
When he carved up a Redskin who
threatened his life,
Did he call in grinder to sharpen
his knife?
He did it himself.
When he knew of the haunt Of
a sockin' big bear,
Did he send for jitney to carry
him there?
He hiked 1t himself.

He got 'em himself.
When you put on your socks and
your toe punches through,
Don't leave all the mending for
others to do,
Darn 'em yourself.
The next time your trousers are
due to be pressed,
Just say to your mother, please
sit down and rest.
I'll do it myself"
If your basement is Uttered with
rubbish and trash,
Don't send for the ashman-save
your Dads cash
And do 1t yourself.
Far removed are you now from
that pioneer life, ...
When daily existence meant un-

You'll find-if you try-many
things that you can

parison with that of any college team

Pennsylvania team, and his success has
been no less marked as an instructor
OF the seven teams which he has
coached at Pitt prior to this season five
have been big winners. while the others
lost only one more than n majority OF
their tussles. In 1915 his men won
10 out OF IS; in 1916 they took 16 and

RUBEN SAYS BIG
BOOM IS REALITY
Bases Views on Banner Entry
for National Indoor Track
Championships.

According TO Frederick W Ruben,
secretary-treasurer of tho Amateur Ath-
letic Union OF the United States, the
promised boom IN athletics as n result OF
the war is becoming more OF reality
every day He makes this deduction
after going over the batch Of letters
which have come to hand during the last
few days from clubs, colleges and indi-
vi1ual champion athletes all over the
country making inquiries regarding the
national senior indoor championships
which are TO take place at the Thirteenth
Regiment Armory Brooklyn. on Satur-
day evening, March s.
Practically all the colleges of the East
have added the national meet to their
schedules this year, and many OF the
colleges as far west as St Louis have
promised TO have their individual stars
on hand to try for a national title in
this meet, which Is recognized as the
blue ribbon event OF the indoor track
season.
The University OF Pennsylvania won
the team championship last year, and
Coach Lawson Robertson viii bring on
a strong team in the hope Of duplicating
his triumph OF 1918. Harvard. Prince

ten men from the II. A. A.. the most
prominent of whom are Halpin. Caldwell.

Tom Andrews OF Milwaukee. who
with Matt IIinkel Of Cleveland organized
the American Boxing Association two
years ago, in announcing that the or
ganiza,ion Is TO be revived after re-
freshing slumber gives the Eastern pro-
motors and managers a sharp dig in the
ribs. Andrews declares that the reason
the Eastern promoters worked tooth and
nail against the plan was that they
feared II would interfere with thelr
private schemes for the exploitation OF
tho sport.
Although the Eastern promoters were
invited 10 Join the association and were
assured that they would have an equa.
voice In the management OF its affairs,
they not only stood aloof but bitterly
opposed the proposition.
Their action In that case emphasizes
tho fact that promoters Of boxing are
the only men who invest money In a
professional sporting venture and lack
the acumon TO protect their interests by
organization.
II is 20 be hoped that Andrews, lInkel
