MIR. WILSON TALKS
ON EXTRAVAGANCE
Delivers An Interesting Address IL
Business People Of The City At
Quinn Drug Co.

What Extravaganza Leads TO-
was the subject of the address deliv-
cred yesterday afternoon by Mr.. G. A.
Wilson, Jr., at the Quinn Drug Co.,
when he delivered the fourth of Sc
ries of talks of the week to the busi
ness people of the city. "Mr. Web
ster defines extravaganza as unex-
eessive or unrestrained, l would like
to add selfishness and weakness, said
Mr.. Wilson, "the majority of people
are extravagant from selfish stand
point, while many are extravagant
through others which is weakness.
"If l should throw my money to
the four winds for my own pleasure
that would be selfish extravaganza.
But if | were of an economical dispo-
sition and permitted my family to
spend money, hand over fist that
would be a case of weakness
Mr.. Wilson clearly depicted the ev-
lis of extravaganza showing in every
instance where reckless spending was
indulped. that the inevitable end was
failure and unhappiness.
Inconclusion Mr.. Wilson gave few
Extravaganza Donts which were es-
pecially appropriate and applicable
to the present time:
Don't be extravagant in your dress
Usually the extravagantly dressed
person uses poor taste and attracts
unfavorable comment.
Don't be extravagant in your talk
Don't talk too loud and above all
things don't talk too much-as both
are very unattractive. Don't be ex,
travagant in your politeness, be pollte
cheerful and courteous. Don't over
do it-you will make your self nuls
ance.
Don't be extravagant in your al
fections-however except IN the nome
or parlor-cut it out when you art
on the streets-there is nothing more
disgusting than to see couple walk
ing down the street, arm IN arm O
handling hands and goo goolng a
each other. You see this quite ofte1
ON our streets and especially in th'
automobiles.
Don't be extravagant with the EG(
-everybody is not as fond of you a
YOU might imagine-and little OF tn
EGO goes a long ways-talk about tn
good traits of other people and II the
haven't any-keep it to yourself.
Don't be extravagant with abuse
usually it boomerangs and instead o
a knock it is boost-if you haven
something good to say about your fe
low man-keep your mouth shut.
Don't be extravagant with your re
lieion: You can't have too much
the right kind of religion but you ca
have too much of the wrong kind
Don't sit on the mourners bench an
sing louder and pray harder than an
other of the congregation when
heart YOU are a back slider and ny
pocrit. Try sitting on the back sea
and gradually work up to the iron
The made last night christian don
last long.
Don't be extravagant with yo'
Jobs: don't flirt with them-but on Il
other hand do your work well, neat
and quickly. Your boss has his e,
ON you and You will be justly rewar'
ed. Now boss don't You be extrav'
CANT with your employees: Don't
= erouch-meet them with "chee1
good morning"-Don't over wo'
them-give them good hours-cies
work good pay and good quarters.

morning by Judge Daily to serve from
four to seven years under each in

way he stole S2.s00. and this amount
was put up as cash bail, but was
forfeited to the state when the man
failed to appear for trial.
He was arrested in Akron and
brought back for trial. He claimed
that he was in Hot Springs, Ark, on
the date of his trial, his wife being
there for her health. Judge DAILY in
passing sentence stated that the men
who furnished the money were as
much criminals as the man himself.

rested and indicted for carrying con-
cealed weapons was this morning
sentenced to spend three months in
the county workhouse by Judge
DAILY. Miller admitted having the
gun. He said he was engaged as a
cook in a lunch wagon and as he
often had large sums of money he
bought the pistol to protect 1t.

who had previously plead guilty to
a charge of carrying concealed
weapons this morning asked permis-
sion to retract his former plea and
change it to one of not guilty. He
said he had bought the gun at a
store and was taking it home when
arrested. He said he had no inten-
tion of using it at the time
