that an agreement on all but details

In addition. tho whole question Of

pretty well settled by the frank pre-

There remains the important ques-

What Arbuckle Might Have
Done

FATTY" Arbuckle is just an
other illustration of the fact that
it is not enough in this world to
be able to make money.
The difference always between
the rich fool and the rich wise
man is that the latter knows
how to spend his surplus well.
The man who tries to spend all
his money on himself is headed
for destruction. 1t can't be
done in safety. To be wisely
rich one must be modest, kindly,
cheerful, helpful and thoughtful
of others. And we never heard
of a rich man landing in q
prison cell because he gave tc
hospitals, endowed colleges, sent
poor boys to school, or made
orphan asylumns more comfort
able. The fault isn't with mon
ey, it's with the boobs who some
times get hold Of it. Detroit
