AS the year 1920 fades away, sing this re-
quiem to it's memory. Three incidents of the old
year. which experienced, will, think be, of es-
pecial interest to "Toiler" readers for they are
episodes with which we are all familiar, and pres
ent problem that sooner or later, we must face.
Q) While waiting for the train at Kenton,
Ohio, / noticed an almost sightless old man. He
was evidently very poor as his clothes were be-
draggled and shabby. One lense of his glasses was

other. But in spite of his miserable appearance

culture in his spare time. His bond has been placed
at three thousands dollars, but the people OF Kan
sas are too patriotic to put up such sum for
citizen who has dared to join the I. W. W. (his
only offense) However my friend tells me that he
knows his countrymen pretty well and he is stoic-

These are not isolated cases, fellow workers
There are millions Of such people as the above

of American thinkers and doers Workers are
manned and killed by the thousands from unneces-
sary ACCIDENTS.
We all know that such conditions exist. That
America has become a country of grasping prof
iteers and degraded slaves = country Of putrid
morality Why do we not see the facts clearly?
Why do we tolerate such conditions? Because the
masters think for us through the press, pulpit
and movie. Because we, the workers, are afraid.
Afraid for our wives and children. We would
rather be spiritual prostitutes and have barely
enough of the physical necessities than to face
the realities of life frankly and bravely. When
things become acute we will starve anyhow, and
our bellies will tell us to revolt That is why the
most miserable element of society gives greatest
promise for the future
To these unfortunates, these despairing out
casts, and desperate revolutionists the new year
will owe its hope and inspiration. The fact of their
presence, of spiritual agony everywhere, cries
stronger than million voices
'The old year is rotting away. We are done
with bestial ignorance, prisons, disease Of mind
and body. We, the most distressed victims of the
old order will be the bulwark Of the new state. We
will be the virile element which, when theoretical
reformsts fail, will successfully uphold the pro-
letarian revolution.

THE MIGHTY ACORN

Success and advertising go hand
in hand, to develop the Industries Of
the nation. Probably one of the best
examples Of the power advertising
has to transform a small business
into an institution Of worldwide
proportions is that of Wrigley's Gum
Today the William Wrigley, Jr., Co..
spends $3,5OO,00O in advertising and
earns 20 per cent on its capital Of
$l6,000.5O0, with sales Of $1S.0OO,-

10000 persons. II has 10000 acres
of chicle plantations, and 5000
acres planted in mint II has fac
tories in Chicago, Brooklyn, Toronto,
and Sydney, ustrala. The combined
output of the Chicago and Brooklyn
factories is 250,000 boxes day.

is not enough. 1t is SINCERITY
that carries with it the convection
that gets across. knowledge is the
power. but sincerity makes intelli-
gent use of that power. Either one

own success; the combination Of the
two is irresistible.

ed belief in the mind of your Gus

viction on your part will transfer
itself to your listener. Luke-warm

gain no more for you than an easy
tolerance, but genuine sincerity and
natural expression will invoke in

APPLYING sALEsMANsHIP

A certain retail merchant who
sells mems eollars-which does not
require extraordinary salesmanship
has built up a wonderful business.
He did this by mixing brains with
business. -
A record is kept of each size col
lar regular patrons wear, and as
soon as new style comes in every
patron is advised. Rarely, If ever.
are collars quoted by "the each" 1t
is so much per Dozen" and "if you
buy your collars by the dozen you
will get better wear, for they need
not make SO frequent trips to the
laundry" Customers also are told
many little ideas. For eaxmple:
do you know you need not wear
a collar button in the back of your
neckband with a turnover collarf
The collar win hold in place and

words, the proprietor is merchant

MINISTER DISCUSSES
WIFE'S TROUBLES

Rev. A. H. Sykes, former pastor
Of the Watkins Park Presbyterian
church, Nashville, Tenn, says:
"After seeing what Tanlac has ac-
complished in my wife's case, / am
convinced that it is medicine Of
great power and extraordinary mer-
it. I do not think have ever seen
anything give such prompt results.
Mrs. Sykes had been in delicate
health for ten months, suffering
from stomach trouble and nervous
breakdown.

vice, but Tanlac is the only thing
that gave her any relief. After tax

PUBLIC BUILDINGS FOR PUBLIC

Need exists for the Government to
exercise the power to help voters get
more control over their own machin-
cry. One of the ways in which this
can be done is by getting greater use
Of the scho0lhouse. The schoolhouse
ought to be used more than they are
now. AT present we leave the school
house vacant and useless excepting
when the children are in it, The

it for political gatherings where men
