stock of yarns and gossip sometimes is bore;

vice with smile is the happy combination.
few years ago. in Atlanta, a young man
opened clothing store for men. At first he
carried very modest advertisements in the pa
pers. He signed them BOBBY Himself" He
met his customers at the door-with a smile
and saw to it that they received service. Today
he is in larger building, getting more trade,
enlarging his business all the time-and still mix
ing smiles with service.
Quality and price are essential and although
some businesses fail to recognize it. service with
a smile is also essential

SOM EWHERE

torrd wind is blowing across the whiting

like hammered gold; but somewhere it is snow

clouds are dishing- all kinds of snow and sleet
somewhere the boys are Wishing, while thawing
out their feet for weather fit for fishing sport
that can't be beat The weathers something
awful, the pavements smoke and hiss, and man
hands out lawful of language, hit or miss, and
says he has his craw full of climate such as this.
But somewhere men are freezing amid the frost
and snow, through arctic nights they're sneez-
ing, and colder still they grow, and there's no
way of easing the agonies they know. Upon
the map I'm tracing the lands with arctic goods,
where famished wolves are racing in lonely
neighborhoods, and polar bears are chasing the
voters through the woods. The heat in language

chilbans together in wildernesses vast; so let
us prize this weather which is too good to last.

SOLVING SOME, PROBLEMS

Nothing seems to cause more than passing sur
prise these days, no matter what may be the realm
of activity of human kind In the great industrial
pursuits that make America world leader, there
is always advancement. A notable illustration
comes in announcement of special interest TO
users of what is commonly called newsprint or
that class of paper en- which the news of the day
is printed During the war there was a paper
famine, newsprint soaring to unheard of prices.
due in many instances. we now know, to the avar-
ice Of the manufacturers and also to the workers in
the mills. But that time is gone and had better be
forgotten. However, inventive genius went to
work to solve problems that might prevent re-
currence of such a condition. New mills were
started and new machinery planned and now
comes the announcement that the Consolidated
Water. Power and Paper Company has set in
operation in Wisconsin the fastest paper machine

BOYS LIFE SAVED AFTER
FIVE DAYS RACE FOR LIFE

Philadelphia, Aug. 5.-A race with
death which began five days ago at
his home in Monticell, Ark, and end
ed here, was won by iline-year-old
Morris Keller.
Morris swallowed brass tack to
win the admiration of his playmates.
The tack lodged deep in his lung,
threatening to puncture it. The boy
was rushed across the country to a
hospital here on the slim chance his
life might be saved. No anaesthetic
was administered when bronchos-
cope was inserted and corceps applied
to remove the tack. Today the boy
was declared perfectly well.

Service with smile!
While it would be plagiarism for other bust

it would be profitable for them to inaugurate it,

1t is just as easy for salesman to smile it
is for him to assume the attitude of doing the
customer favor.
The habits of grouchng and smiling are cul-

LITTLE THINGS

He rang a little sooner
Than the fellow in the shop;
And he stayed little longer
When the whistle ordered Stop"
He worked a little harder
And he talked little less;
He seemed but little hurried
And he showed but little stress,
For every little movement
His efficiency expressed
Thus his envelope grew just
A little thicker than the rest
He saved little money
In hundred little ways;
He banked a little extra
When he got little raise.
A little working model
Took his little leisure" time;
He wrought each little part of it
With patience most sublime.
Now it's very little wonder
That he murmurs with a smile,
AS he clips his little coupons,
Are the little things worth while?"
