CARRIED "HoNEsTY" TOO FAR
Trusted Clerk Rather overdid u, and
Lost the Confidence Of His
Employer.

Cash registers became an institution
as means Of compelling honesty
among employees handling money.
There was time when their installa-
ton was taken as an affront by every
clerk concerned, but new generation
has accepted them as q matter OF
course. That they still have their use
in the original sense, however, was
demonstrated recently by one employer
Ia grocer-who was telling his story
over the counter the other evening to
belatedN customer. ~
'Last summer" the grocer said. "my
family was living down at the beach
and I used to leave early in order
to get down there for late dinner.
haN a clerk that trusted to lock up
and put the money in the safe. Natu-.
rally the cash register would show
in the morning what he had rung up.
"For few days ! thought 1t was
working fine. He was good clerk
and ! thought he was honest. Then
when got to thinking about 1t de-
cided he was too-honest. For ten
days that register and the cash agreed
to a penny. Now that's better than
could make it do myself. 1t amt nat

scheme. Just before left rang up

Washington. - The following inter.
esting interview with Governor James
N. Cox Of Ohio was published in the
hotel column Of the Washington Post
four years ago-viz, on July %. 1915:
"Ohio is not the only state where
the people are shouting the praises Of
the President for having preserved
peace in the United States. Our honor
has remained unsullied. The slogan
He Kept Us Out Of War will be the
most effective argument the Democrats
can use In the campaign. Americanism
has been pre-empted by the President.

import has been met squarely and sat.

Prince Alfonso and the viscountess

latter then agreed to accept 100000

quilted the viscountess of charges pre-
ferred against her by Prince Alfonso.

CENSUS TIME PROLONGED
Impossible to Complete Work in Fiji
teen Days Allotted.

Washington, Jan. 24.-While it has
been hoped to complete the enumera-
ton work in the fourteenth decennial
census in Is days, Director SAINT
Rogers of the census bureau, said the
time would be extended and that the
count OF the population of the coun-
try would be completed regardless OF
the time necessary.
His announcement was made as the
result of the request for extension OF
time received from chambers of COM
merce and other organizations in q
number of cities which apparently
were under the impression that fiji
teen days was the limit fixed by law
for the enumeration and that any
work not completed in that tins
would remain unfinished Director
Rogers said the enumeration had not
yet been finished in any of the larger
cities but that some returns had been
received from a number of them.
