Country Stores

The country store that keeps up-to-
date is appreciated In every commu-
nifty. Fresh stocks. complete hut not
necessarily large. well arranged and
kept clean. and plenty of good light
such country store doesn't worry
about mail order competition.
DELco-LIGHr is great trade-bringer
for country stores. And there Is the
added advantage that one plant will
not only light the store but the resi-

A Coal Miners Son.

Des MoineS Capital: A special
despatch to the Indianapolis News
from Princeton, Ind, says that
Luther Hedrick, coal miner, Of that
place, had received word that his
son, Bert Hedrick, had been appoint
ed chief electrical engineer Of the
city of Los Angeles at a salary Of
$500 a month.
This paragraph, appearing in
daily newspaper. has probably not
attracted wide attention, but every
American boy ought to read it. The
success of the son of this Indiana
coal miner demonstrates that at the
present we have no classes in Amer
lea and no social distinctions. This
coal miners son won his place by
having secured an education fitting
him for it. The examining board
which considered his application did
not inquire in regard to the occupa-
ton Of his father. 1t would have
been un-AmeriCan had the board
made such inquiry. We want to sug-
gest to the coal miners that the field
of opportunity is open to every boy
and girl alike, whether they be rich
or poor.

The Boy and the Boss.

William Maria Jackson, in Forbes
Magazine: A boys employer can be
a valuable friend. The average boy
Graves good. strong friendships. and
particularly does he appreciate the
friendly interest Of a man whom he
admires and respects. Boys like to
be noticed. Naturally affable and
warm-hearted, they are quick to
sense the lack Of friendly feeling on
the part Of anyone with whom they
come in contact. Too often a boy
and his boss are perfect strangers.
The boss Is too busy to take notice
of the boy. He issues orders in a
cold-blooded manner and expects per.
feet obedience. He does. not try to
encourage the boy; he does not try
to gain his confidence.
There is no excuse for such a re-
lationship. The employer Is not only
failing to do his duty, but he Is show
ing poor judgment. Only when he
becomes the friend and counselor Of
the boy does he really get the boys
best efforts. Not until the boy looks
upon his employer as friend will
he work with that abandon and en-
thusiasm which is always prompted
by love and respect.

AS there has been m1sunder-

obtaining license refund, Waiter
Ramsay, secretary of state, has issued
| the following statement:
Some misunderstanding has arisen
| regarding the policy Of the motor
vehicle department covering the mat

bought their cars prior to the adj
vance in price, where such price IS
in disbursement with that listed in
| the schedule of weights and prices
adopted and approved by the state
executive council and furnished the
county treasureres for their guidance.
The price furnished the state by
the car manufacturers was the top
price or the last selling price OF the
season. The county treasurer has no
authority to accept a less fee than
that indicated In the book, but the
law intends that the car owner shall
paw percent on the cost price of his
car to him. Where he bought before
fine advance he Is entitled to refund
and should file such substantiated
claim which will be submitted to the
executive council, and If approved,
1.-THE refund will be paid.
1.-THE executive council, under the
law. fixed the rates and is the only
bod v with authority to make any
changes therein. There should be no
misunderstanding concerning the pol
lev of the department in this matter
which stated briefly is to collect every
dollar due the state in automobile
fees. but not to retain single dollar
to which the state is not entitled
under the law"
