ST. Louis believes in advertising in the news
papers and magazines. She is spreading her wares
before the people from coast to coast Her last
years program was a husky one, but this years
publicity bids fair to overshadow It, The st. Louis

spread advertising upon an appropriation from the
city funds of $50, 100000 Such procedure 10 bound

Mr.. Harding is emphatically right about there
being jobs enough for all. So long as labor insists
upon unreasonable sage and hour compacts, just
that long will numerous industries remain idle, I'M
able to cope with falling market and pay employees
at the same time. The demand of organized labor
is cutting more men out of employment than any
other economic condition Unable to make out in
the face of union demands, and cowed by union
threats fearing to employ nonunion labor, factor
les remain closed and the unemployed tramp the
streets.

THE ROLLING STONE

But Wast-1 pray you to answer me-
Issmoss to rolling stone?

And who shall call 1t wrong?
For rolling stone must go its way
And roll, roll, roll, roll,
Ro-oll along!
thrill sometimes to maiden's face
or her voice like a cooling dove,
But i seldom stay in single place
For long enough to love-
rhe call of the road is in my ear
And the voice Of the road is strong,
And it says to me you must go from here
And roll, roll, roll. roll,
Ro-oll along!"
There's naught SO free as a rolling stone
with never a tie to bind
But he rolls about the world alone
And the worlds not always kind;
Yet many the wonders run across
AS leave the home-kept throng;
BET the old stone fences gather moss,
roll along;
roll, roll, roll roll.
Ro:oll along!
