 Added to this. he is under an ad. ditional pressure in paying the higf cost of supporting his family and himself.
 An of this must come out of the business, and this can only be done by charging a reasonable percent. age of profit over the wholesale cost of his goods.

BRINGING HOME THE HONEY

In most communities there are two classes of citiZens-those who produce, and those who do not.
 The productive class brings home the honey.
 The other classes merely con- sumes that which the producer pro- duces.
 There would be less hue and cry over the cost of living if more people would conscientiously pro- duce instead of being content mere ly to consume.
 Food and other commodities are hard to produce at best, and the idleness and indifference of the non productive class only accentuates it's scarcity and contributes to its cost.
 A hive of honey bees is gooc thing for mankind to study. The bee that does not work is not al lowed to eat-it is not permitted tt consume the fruits of the labors o1 other bees.
 We humans, with all our superior intelligence, can still profit iron the example set us by the little hon ey bee. Future generations may learn t' see, where we of today are gropint in darkness.
 The honey bee may teach them.

FOOLS IN A DAY

Have you ever been in Washing. ton or in our state capitol, or in any other place where the politi. clans of both parties mingle?
 If so you have noticed the per sdnal friendliness of republicans for democrats, and of democrats for republicans
 Each knows the personal worth of the other and respects it, regard less of party differences.
 But what happens when one of these men is nominated for a high office which the other party covets
 His nomination creates a distress irg transf formation in the character of the man-in the eyes of the op- posite party.
 He is full of sin and corruption
 He is an advocate of all that is unholy in national and state af fairs.
 He is owned body and brooches by interests" that are inimicable to the welfare of the people.
 He is a menace which must be crushed and annihilated without mercy.
 As a citizen he is high-minded and respected by his fellow men.
 As nominee he is a red rag in the face of mad bull.
 Politics works wonders in the minds of men, and in it's realm the wise man of yesterday becomes the fool of today.

COr Promises c
 Campaign Expose

Evansville, Ind, Aug. 25.-Evi- dence of deliberate conspiracy to buy the presidency" was promised today by Gov. Cox in addresses rallying Southern Indiana democra- cy. Amplifying his charges that an enormous campaign fund is being raised, he said that in his address tomorrow night at Pittsburgh he will produce evidence regarding the republican leaders that convicts every mothers son of them."
 "When the size of the campaign fund is understood" he said, "the sensibilities of the people will be staggered. You know what my charges have been. You know what reply Chairman Hays of the Re publican National Committee and his associates have given. l ask you only to wait until tomorrow night, and I will produce evidence that convicts every mothers son of them-evidence of a deliberate plot that has been carried into every county of America in a plot and consipracy to buy the presidency of the United States. But it can't be done"
 Gov. Cox's declaration was made late today at Princeton, Ind, and reiterated again here tonight. It was cheered by audiences of thou sands in a tumultuous day of cam paigning.
 Prefacing his new promise to ex- pose republican finances Gov. Cox said he was not the apostle of dis aster," and added, "but l am here to leave in your minds the most firm and deep-rooted impression that can prove that the most danger ous symptom that has been mani fested in America in the last 50 years is the attempt of the senator ial oligarchy to reach out and take possession of our government
 Republican campaign financing, he said, was quite as dangerous. "The senatorial oligarchy" was flayed unsparingly by Gov. Cox all so for it's opposition to the League of Nations, and he reiterated eharg- es that it had selected the republi- can nominee, dictated a meaningless platform and twas trying to an nex the presidency"
