OPPOSITION TO JUDGE HUGHES

That Mr.. Hughes would be select
ed as Secretary of State, was u for
gone conclusion short time ago.
Mr. Harding had so decided, so des-
patches stated. There seemed to be
no question about it. Now it is al
most certainty that he will not be
appointed, according to newspaper
reports,
There is reason, and here it Isl:
Mr.. Hughes has expressed himself
as favorable to the League of Ma
lions and the Versailles treaty, with
few necessary reservations. Looks
too much like sympathy with Prcsi-
dent Wilson to suit the irreconcil-
ables. Nothing nor nobody Hinged
with wisconsin need apply The SEN
ate oligarchy were responsible foy
Mr.. Harding's nomination, and it
proposes to have finger in the pic.
Will Mn. Harding have the courage
Of his convictions or will he kneel
and knuckles before that crowd Of
obstructionists in the United States
Senate, and yield to their hypo crit
ical opposition to the success of n
worldwide movement for the better
ment OF mankind? Time will tell.

GAVE A MILLION.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr. gave ST.
100000 to the proposed $4,000 900
fund for the relief of the destitute
women and children of Europe at
the annual dinner Of the Young Mems
Bible Class of the Fifth Avenue
Baptist Church at the Hotel McAlpin
few days ago.
Announcement of Mr.. Rockefeller's
gift was made by Herbert Hoover,
head of the. American Relief Admin.
istration. after a speech by Mr.. Hoo
yer describing conditions in Europe
and after a dramatic scene, in which
the members of the Bible Class in.
sisted upon making contributions to
the fund on the spot.
MIR, Hoover said later that Mr..
.Rockefeller's contribution was his
own individual and personal pift md
was not in any part his fathers or
a benefaction of the Rockefeller
Foundation or any Rockefeller or

A BAD HABIT THAT SHOULD BE
BROKEN.

We mean the credit habit. Taze-
we'll, and perhaps other towns and
communities are famous Tor in-fam-
ous) for piling up debts. To settle
once a year is the habit and one that
should be corrected-for several rea-
sons: People who pay cash buy less.
They are able to save something for
the rainy day. Many useless and un-
necessary purchases are made when
buying on credit. 1t it so easy to
say, "Charge it, please" The prob
ability is the charged article could
easily have been dispensed with. The
merchant finds that he has thous-
ands of dollars locked up in accounts
which may OF not be, paid.
He must keep n large surplus
on hand to pay IT, bills charged on
his books, or go to the banks and
borrow money. AT the close of the
year these credit customers, for one
reason or another, fail to pay, and
large amount Of money is .charg-
ed off to 'bad debts" Nine times out
of ten, unless the customer who buys
on credit is rich. and has ample in
come, will find at the end of the year
he has nothing left The telephone is
so convenient. 1t is stated, that n
careful estimate shows that so pc,
cent of orders received by grocers
are phone orders.
The telephone is a great boon and
blessing in the home, but may be
and often is, blessing abused How.
ever, the point is, that the credit
system is hindrancc and hurtful
Bills should be paid at least one 8
week if not Mt the time the purchase
is made. The habit of cash payments
would turn loose constant stream
Of money for investments, home i'm
provements etc. instead of lying dor.
mant on the merchants books. Mai
orders are "cash in advance" WHY
not purchase from the home mer.
chant for cash?

CHRISTMAS CONNECTION

And in the mail they smashed it:
With undiscriminating shove
They hustled and they Dashed it;
1t reached my love shapcIess mess
In form and substance fitted

AT what has been transmitted.
The busy sorter. threw il at
The next but one division:
The stamp department stamped il
flat
With horrible precision.
And when at length it reached my
loves
BY means of transit jerky.
Some said it was assorted gloves.
But others said twas turkey.
A little pulp, Il plume or two,
Thanks to the postal wrcncher,
They hazarded its nature true,
And cooked it ut a ventures!
And epicures were left to prove
BY subsequent reflection
That tother day sent my love

ADAM.
I'm sorry for old Adam
Just as sorry as can be.
Cause he never had no mummy
For to hold him on her knee.
And he never had no daddy
For to tell him all he knowed.
And he never had 30 mummy
To point the straight and narrow
road.
And he never had no childhood
Playing round the cabin door.
And he never had no mummy
For to pick him off the floor.
And he never had no feeling
Alter he had gone to rest,
OF the 'possum and the 'tatoes,
All tucked beneath his vest.
And now have IL feeling,
That he'd let that apple be-
If he'd only had nanny
For to hold him on her knee.
