As long as we have taxes that have
increased the cost of shoes and cloth
ing 100 per cent, taxes that have put

stated, the annual sale of gum amounts
to $lO0,OOO,000, isn't the awful tax on

The Right Thing
at the Right Time
Company Manners
BY MARY MARSHALL s. DUFFEE.

Some women are desperately afraid
they will be suspected of having com
pany manners.
Such woman, when she invited you to
dine or lunch with her, assures you she
will make no special preparation in your
honor.
She seems fearful lest you think she
has dressed especially for the occasion
that she has a dress for every day"
and one for special Occasions-she would
figuratively die of notification If one
of her children let the cat out of the bag
that she were using the best dishes"
These women are. in part, right in OBJ
iecting to showing their company man
ners,' as they are called. for company
manners can be very offensive and dis
quieting.
No one can possibly acquire good table
etiquet only as part of his company
manners"
The guest with half an eye can tell
when an effort at such an accomplish
ment is habitual and when it is affected
merely for his benefit. so for that sort OF
company manners we have as little use
as we have for ostentation.
But company manners that are, with
all frankness and sincerity, assumed for
the guests homer come from the heart
and are not to be scorned.
The father of the 9rodigal son didn't
try to make his guests believe he fed
upon fatted calf every day Of the year.
So, although we would hardly tell our
friends we have ordered special delicacies
and got out the choice damask and thin
china for their honor when they dine
with us, we would show ourselves very
silly if we tried to make a family secret
of these little acts of consideration

Necessity of Credits for
Farmers

! have always favored and worked for
improved personal and commodity credit
facilities, on reasonable terms for farm

degree never before available in This

tirely familiar with the admirable pro-
visions of the federal reserve act for

to get the benefits Of the federal reserve
system. Agricultural paper given by
farmers for growing their crops, as well
as for carrying staple agricultural COIN
lnodities is made eligible for re-discount
IN federal reserve banks. This makes
short time farm paper just as desirable
in national banks and federal reserve
banks as the commercial paper given by
the merchant and manufacturer. Ample
credit facilities should be provided for
the farmers as well as for every other
class of our people because credit is
absolutely basic to the general welfare
and prosperity under conditions of mod
ern society. The federal farm loan act
has provided for long time amortization
farm mortgage loans on reasonable
terms, thus giving to farmers long
