was a time when il was called the
Martin Phone, because the Martins
managed II, and when the Martins
managed II 1t was not only a credit 10
them, but To the whole community, be-
cause II not only gave good service,
but paid all its obligations and paid
regular annual dividends to all its
stockholders, but since II got into the
hands Of others who "raxzle dazxled''

Dress Makes A Difference.
when a body meets body
In finer dress
Keeps body feeling shoddy
As we must confess.
Then body feeling shoddy
Buys nifty gown
And outshines the other girlies
That she meets down town."
E Louisville Courier-Journ
"Then the other pretty girlies,
Not to be outdone,
Buy new dresses in a hurry,
Then they're going some.
"Thus II ever goes up and down,
Until pride has won
And goes forth in a finer gown
Than the other one.
That's what makes "high cost of
dressing;
Father thinks it's true,
But daughter thinks II distressing.
So she says 'boo-hoo!"

Lack of Funds and Swarm

The United States Patent Office,
Handicapped by laek-of funds and a
constantly decreasing force of exam
iners, virtually has ceased to func-

Unless Congress comes to its aid
next winter with greatly increased
appropriations, distressing condi-
tions in this bureau, which has a
more intimate relation with Ameri-

under the Government, will make
themselves felt from Maine to Cali

TRADE APPEALS TO CONGRESS.
Big business interests, suffering
from the handicaps which have put
the Patent Office more than six
months behind in it's work, are ap-
pealing to members of Congress to
relieve a condition that is sure to
produce i'll results on business gen
orally.
Thirteen highly trained examiners
left the Patent Office in July to en-
ter private firms at higher salaries,
making a total loss of about $50 ex-
aminers during the fiscal year. 1ndi-
cations point to still further reduc-
tions in the force of examiners and
clerks unless Congress comes quickly
to the aid of the bureau.
Despite the fact that the Patent
Office is so highly important to indus
try. 1t is the most delapidated bureau
in the Government, and its clerical
force is the most underpaid.
