TRUTH TO TELL

The Griffin News and Sun: Why
must people go through life living
and telling a perpetual lie? Why not
tefi the truth?
For instance:
If your neighbor is lazy, and MS
wife earns the living, and his children
are hungry and f-clothed. why not
tell them so?
If YOU think public officials are in
efficient, and grating, and mlsrepre-
senting their constituents, why not tell
them so?
If Mrs. So and SO ambles along the
streets exposing a yard or so of her
leg, why not stop her and tell her so
If Miss Pertness has her face smear
ed with powder why wait for the
wind to blow it off? Why not tell her
she is a freak?
If you have been making love to a
voung stenographer, and your wife
suspects you, why lie about 1t? why
not tell the truth?
If you want friend to endorse
your note, and you know you can new
er pay, why not tell him so?
If Miss Dimple looks like a scare
crow and you want to marry her mon
ey, why tell her she is>a sylph and an
angel, and all of that rot? What's the
matter with the truth?
If you are selling a spawned horse
and you know it will fall to pieces be-
fore the purchaser. can lead it home,
why not tell him so?
If you owe the grocer and the editor
and you never expect to pay them,
why hot tell them so when you place
your next order?
If you drop nickel in the 'collec-
ton box, and you expect your gener-
osity to boost you into choice seat in
heaven, why hide your light under a
cloak of modesty? Why not get up
and tell the congregation SO?
What's the use of living or telling
a lie, anyway?
Isn't the truth good enough?
Try it.

SUSPECTS MOTIVES
Of TRADE SLOW-UPS
Washington Will Not Stand In
lection of Politics Into In
dustrial Affairs.
Correspondent New York World

Washington, July 20.--Adminstration
officials let it be known in an emphatic
way today that any deliberate suspension
of industrial activities for political pur-
poses would not be tolerated. The an
nouncement il was stated, was made IN
response 20 reports that there was already
evidences of an inclination on the part
of certain railroads and corporations to
slow up business.
A White House official recalled Presi-
dent Wilson's memorable utterance that
any one found in conspiracy to preclpl-
tate a panic would be chung higher than
Haman.
1t was stated that in the case of the
so-called Woollen Trust there were doubt
less reasons for the closing of certain
plants that could not be construed as
being political spite, although charges
have been made that the heads OF the
combine bad intimated that there would
be reprisals against the government
IL was said that the uncertainty of
the situation resulting from government
prosecution perhaps caused the action
by the management, but it was not be-
lieved that the closing of factories was
actuated by desire to get back at the
Democratic Administration.
Nobody would say where the sugges-
ton that the laying-off of men might
have n political significance came from
or what there was in sight that called
for the veiled warning.

REMAINS HIRED MAN
DESPITE HIS MILLION
With Fortune Awaiting Him in
Scotland, David Cant Helps
Farm Boss Out.

Boston. July 20.-David Nicoll Cant,
81 wears old and bachelor, working Tor
farmer in Boylston, Mass, who has
been notified that he shares IN the
50, 600 900 estate left by his father in
Scotland, is Just about the coolest and
most collected individual in Boylston. All
the rest of the town is so excited about
Davids million-dollar windfall that 1t
can think and talk about little else.
But David has been in this country
some 20 wears, nine of which he has put
in farming. SO ne is not easily excited. All
Boylston looked to David To pack up and
start for Scotland Immediately. But
David couldn't see it that way. He had
hired out to Farmer Stark, and # ever
his boss needed hired man II is Just now,
when labor is so scarce and high priced,
with one of the largest hay crops in years
waiting to be gathered.
David declares he will see his boss
through the haying season, anyway, and
perhaps longer He feels sure that the
fortune in Scotland will not lose anything
by little waiting. Once the crops are
gathered and MIR Stark says If IS q. ~,
David will pack up and start for the
homeland, there to meet his three sisters
and two brothers
DdNlu ) idliitI WHb Was y NhtiSNttS
LIQUOR dealer, died seven years ago, and
from that date the family has been TRYING
to locate David When David left home
with his chum it was to seek work in
America The chum landed a Job on a
farm and worked Dave in. Dave did not
like the place so drifted about, finally
landing with Farmer Stark nine years
ago. where he has since been working for
his $50 per month and board and room.
As TO matrimony, he has no definite
plans Having lived 81 years without a
mate he is inclined to think he can travel
the rest of his journey that way, although
he admits that the possession of a com
| Portable fortune and homeland sights and
scenes may change his point Of view.
Seeing Dave in his farm duds hustllng
in the hay, then milking the cows and
doing the chores one would never dream
he could ever give it up. He goes about
his work as though it was the one object
in his life He is rated so highly on the
Stark farm that they have doubts of ever
being able to fill his shoes.

You Can't Brush or
Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it In gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning, most
if not all, of your dandruff will be gone,
and three or four more applications viii
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You viii find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp viii stop at once, and
your hair viii be fluffy, lustrous, glossy,
silky and soft, and look and feel hundred
times better
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never fails to
do the work.
