How Did You Earn
Your First Dollar!

National Thrift Week, January
1928, fostered by the Y. N C., a.,
which has come to be a stirring yearly
event, aroused a lot Of interest last
year on the question of how men VINO
have acquired fair competence MADE MADE
their first dollar.
You would naturally think that a
fellow would stick to the game at
which he made his first dollars, on
the theory that he had an especial
fitness for work that earned nm a
whole dollar as a reward. The tact
is, however, that most first dollars
were earned in different fields from
those from which future wealth IS
harvested. The world is full OF
Thomas A. Edisons who earned their
first dollars selling newspapers.
1t would be interesting to have the
"reminiscences of some of our sub
scribers on this subject Of how they
earned their first dollar. If you en-
joy docking back" do it on this very
interesting subject of how you earned
your first dollar.
Those who earned that first dollar
a good many years back could probab-

TO THE VOTERS OF MoNETT

On November lst an unknown wom-
an called on Mrs. Fannie Martin at
her place of business on Fifth street
and represented to Mrs. Martin that
she was Mrs. Wear, candidate for re-
corder of deeds Of Barry county, and
gave her card bearing my name,
Mrs. w. A. Wear.
This unknown woman then made
some statements very damaging to
my candidacy and to myself and were
made with the intention of injuring
me. Up to that time had never
been in Mrs. Martins place of bust
ness and had never seen her, and Mrs.
Martin did not know me. She, of
course, assumed that the woman was
myself.
When the report of what had been
said reached me, told my informant
that did not know Mrs. Martin and
had not been in her place of business
and | Immediately went with my in
formant to see Mrs. Martin, who
promptly and positively informed him
That was not the person VINO had
called upon her and represented ;hat
she was Mrs. Wear.
Mrs. Martin did not know the
woman and does not now know her, or
her whereabouts, and | have been un-
able to get her Identification. Mrs.
Martin will verify this statement.

clean campaign ani respectfully ask

THREE KILLED AND
SCORE INJURED IN
LEHIGH RAIL CRASH
TRepubIican A. p. Leased wire1

BATAVIA. n. Y, May 13.-Three
dead, - in hospitals in this city and
a score or more with minor injuries,
We're the casualties in the wreck of
the Black Diamond Express on the
Lehigh Valley railroad at North Le-
Roy today. Two women, still un-
conscious late this afternoon, were
among the more seriously injured.
The wreck, according to Engineer
Moser Of the Black Diamond, was
caused by the attempt of Thomas f.
Brodie to get his automobile across
the tracks at the Lake street cross
ing ahead of the train.
The engine struck the automobile
squarely, tossed it ahead and ran
into the debris, which lifted the front
trucks of the engine from the rails.
The train was moving at a rate of
Go miles an hour, Engineer Moser
said, and as its speed was checked
by the derailed engine it buckled and
five cars crashed down 40-foot en-
bankment. They were the smoker,
a day coach and three Pullmans.
Word was at once telephoned to the
nearest stations and physicians were
sent from Batavia and Leroy. A
special train also was made up at
Buffalo.
Thomas r. Brodie of Leroy. driver
of the automobile, was hurled 300
feet and almost instantly killed,

TARIFF BILL.
DELAYED BY
ARGUMENT on
PAPER RATES
Senator Underwood Makes
Bitter Attack On Paper
And Ink Schedules Of
Republican Tariff Bill

WASHINGTON, May "a Re
publican proponents of the pending
tariff bill were charged today in the
senate by Senator Underwood of
Alabama the democratic leader, with
'penalizing the American people in
their efforts to secure knowledge,
education and the advantages that
grow out of educational develop
ment." He was discussing a five
per cent increase in the present duty
of 10 per cent ad Ealorem on ink,
which the senate approved.
Senator Smoot of Utah ranking
Republican of the finance commit
tee defended the five per cent in
crease saying it was necessary. be
cause provision was made in the bill
for increasing the protection on the
ingredients of ink. He gave it as
his opinion that the increase would
not be borne by the ultimate con-
sumner. but probably would be taken
care of by local competition. This
view was disputed by Senator I'm
derWood.
IN this BILL said Senator Tn
derwood in discussing the schedule
the majority are raising the taxes
on paper of all kinds; they are rails
ing the tax on printers ink; they are
y
goes to make a book or newspaper.
1t may be said that it is only cent
or two, that it is only a small
amount, but when the tax is in
creased one cent on every item in q
bill which covers 100000 articles,
a burden of taxation is imposed to
a point where men of moderate
means in the United States are de-
prived of the advantages of life
which they are entitled to have be-
cause of prohibitive taxes levied at
the custom house for the benefit of
special interests that are already
prospering and growing rich.
1T seems that those who believe in
a protective tariff now have reached
the point where they demand a pro-
hibitive tariff, and so far as they are
able they propose to build up a
tariff wall so high that no importa-
tions can come IN and that the
American manufacturer may have a
monopoly behind the tariff wall and
exploit the. American people TO his
hearts desire.
Senator Hitchcock, democrat, Ne
braska, offered an amendment to
continue Underwood rate on ink but
il was rejected 81 to Is.
Presenting official figures to show
that American ink manufacturers
not only dominated the home market
but exported large quantities of
ink, the Nebraska senator declared
that the proposed tariff was typical
of vices in the BILL"
He asserted that an increase in
ink tariff at this time could not pos
sibly serve any purpose of prOtec-
ton. adding that if protection We're
needed it was amply provided for in
the existing law.
Aside from the Ink schedule, the
only sharp fight today was against
the committee rate of sixty per cent
ad valorem on finished products of
celluIoid. Senator King. democrat,
Utah, attacking this provision which
was approved by the senate, declared
that these items entered into practi-
cally every home; the imports were
very small and that the increased
duty was for the benefits of the L. l.
Dupont de Nemorus company and
these other great corporations which
made millions of profits during the
war.

Harding Meets
Atlantic City
COP. Leaders
Republican a. P. Leased Wirel

ABSECON, y. j., May 13-Presi-
dent Harding met the members of the
Atlantic county Republican organiZa-
ton today after playing a round of
golf in the forenoon. The president
had been invited to q luncheon given
by the Republican leaders here, but
greeted them personally instead, and
after partaking of a sandwich in
formally with Senator Edge, his host,
returned to the links for another
round of golf.
Senator Freylinghuysen of this
state, who is also a guest of Senator
Edge attended the luncheon and an
nounced his candidacy for renomina-
ton. The senator told them of his
work in Washington and of his desire
to serve another six years there.
The praise which the president
gave to Senator Freylinghuysen and
Edge in his speech last night before
the Republican Women's clubs at At
lantic City has been the subject of
much comment among New Jersey
Republicans and other party leaders
here. Many of them viewed the re-
marks of the president as an en-
dorSement of the senator who is op-
posed for the denomination by George
Record. The president and Mrs.
Harding plan to attend church in At
lantic City tomorrow morning before
leaving for Washington. which is due
to be reached at midnight.
Unhappy is the man for whom his
own mother has not made all other
mothers enerable.-Richter.
