such remnant as may pass, and the
dilapidated relic of a hat is the pre-
vailing investiture. Here and there
one owns a pair OF sandals, but not
many. Nor are they to be pitied.
The weather is always warm on the
Three Marias, except when it gets
hot. They are all Of the Indian type.
They wear in the penal settlement
precisely what they would wear at

panion.
Antonio Out Of Practice
Antonio was the bird. He had on
his head conical hat. torn and
blackened, made of the heaviest
straw. 1t was precisely the sort of
hat a Solomon Islander might wear
He had the more important minority
of pair OF trousers, which had once
been Of stout cotton, and which had
long time ago been white. He had
not even the sign Of sandal. About
his shoulders were the fluttering rags
OF what had been a shirt. but was
now mostly collarband. His black
body was smooth and bare.
"He looks like a cannibal," said my
unflattering friend.
"Can be of Nany service to you,
gentlemen" asked Antonio in excel
lent English. He spoke clearly, gram
matically, ard without a trace of ac-
cent. Clearly Antonio is a man with a
past, but we did not learn what that
past had been. Looking mormon
east he said that he had learned his
English a long time ago. and that he
hoped that the gentlemen would par
don any slips. He said regretfully
that he had had very little chance to
practice since he had been on the
Tres Marias.

DINNER MARKS &TH
MILESTONE N LIFE
OF HOUSE CHAPLAIN

The eighty fifth birthday OF Rev.
Seaborn Crutchfield, chaplain of the
house of representatives OF the legis-
lature was celebrated at his home,
1918 West Madison street, yesterday
at an excellent dinner at which the
guests were Speaker Keefe of the
house of representatives c. T. Miller,
o. d. Belts, Arthur Curlee, D. p.
Jones' ]. B. Wylie and j. w. Spear.
A conspicuous article of the menu
was huge cake bearing S5 candles
which the guests joined in lighting,
blowing out, and finally, in consum-
ing. Mrs. Crutchfield was assisted in
serving by several neighbor ladies.
The guests were entertained by the
chaplain with "reminiscences of his
early life, the active part of which
began with the Civil war when he
set out from home with the finest
equipment of horse and arms that his
father could buy. He went with a
high heart and a certainty Of return
ing in triumph. He left behind him
two negro slaves, gifts of his grand
parents, and well provided with
money. He returned later, ragged, a
part owner of a disreputable mule
and rickety buggy, clad in rags and.
dirt, netting the jeers of his towns
men of Monticello with, well, /
see you have gained your southern
rights"
He went out as a lieutenant and
joined General Morgan, the famous
raider, and was captured in West
Virginia. He was sent to the Ohio
penitentiary whence he was later ex-
changed and took part in the cam
paign in Virginia.
His first inkling OF the outcome Of
the war was gained in Richmond.
When he went there, he said. he had
not the slightest doubt of the ulti-
mate success of the confederacy. He
had $2S.000 in confederate money
which he had acquired in manner
that he would not have employed
after entering the ministry. He in
vited another young officer to be his
guest at a leading hotel of Richmond
for a night. He was astounded the
following morning on asking for his
bill to learn that 1t was $500.
A little later, passing along the
street he found a woman selling pies
and asked his friend TO join him in
the consumption of one. He had the
forethought to inquire the price,
which was $40. How much in sill
ver?" he asked, meaning by silver"
some union pieces he had with him.
"Ten cents" replied the piewoman.
Lieutenant Crutchfield turned to
his companion and said, Were
licked"
lie had not further doubt of the
fate of the confederacy. A nation
that let its currency run down in that
manner could have little hope of the
future.
Speaking of the statement in The
Republican that he had been chap
lain OF the constitutional convention
and OF every session Of the legislature
since but one, he said that had really
been elected chaplain of every ses-
sion. But at one session he was in
Kentucky at the time Of his election
and did not return until after the
close of il.
How well the chaplain has with
stood the rayages of years is shown
in the incident that three years ago
he was in Cincinnati where he bought
Ford automobile and drove it to
Phoenix.
His guests departed yesterday with
the hope that they might be present
at his 1S5th birthday

Income Tax Receipts
viii ShoIU Decrease
Officials Estimate

WASHINGTON, Mar. 15.-Re-
ceipts or income and profits taxes
due today, in the opinion of
treasury officials, probably will show
a decrease Of more than $500 0oO. 900
as compared with collections by the
government during March of last
year.
Secretary Mellon estimates that
the first installment OF taxes on in
comes and profits for 1921 will
amount to $460.00o. 000, as against
more than s727,O00,0O taken in by
the government LAST March for the
corresponding installment OF taxes
on the year 1920. The estimates for

The esteem in which the Y. w.

LAWS OF SALE
ARE OUTLINED
Pep MAN. Says Women and Men
Have Different Motives I'm
Buying.

HYou sell a woman differently
than you do a man." said Howard
J. Wisehaupt, the pep man" In an
address delivered to an interested
group of business men last night
on the subject OF Mental Analysis
and Laws of Sale"
"A woman buys on her emotions
or feelings" he continued. "a man
through his will, so you talk style,
price and quality in the order as
given, to the woman, while you re-
verse this and talk quality, price
and style to the man.
"Of course in Cleveland we oc-
casionaIly have young man skip
into a store with his nose busted
and a big bow tie flowing down his
front, who gushes, I want the very
latest thing you have in tight Mt
ting clothes. You don't know
whether to kiss him or kick him,
but the wise salesman talks style.
price and quality to him just as
he would to a woman"
II was the speakers contention
that every sale necessitates the
mind travelling through seven steps,
approach. attention, interest, COLI
viction, desire. resolution to buy,
and the purchase or order.
Mr.. Wisehaupt asserted that 1t
is a law of man that he opposes
that which he knows nothing about
and this should show live sales
man, he said, that it is necessary to
talk his goods and not ask such a
foolish question as how are you
fixed in ginghams todayT
He made the statement that the
wisest approach ever recorded is
found in the Bible. st. Paul had
an idea about religion which he
wished to sell to the people OF
Athens. He found" said the pep
man" that they already had every
conceivable kind of religion. Most
statesmen are discouraged today
when they go into a store and see
every competitors line there. but
st. Paul was made of different
stuff.
HE was sold on his own line
and listen to what he said: Men
of Athens, let me congratulate you
upon the number of religions you
have. / see you have every known
kind and / even noticed in coming
through your beautiful city that
you had erected an image to the
unknown God. Isn't this a coin
cidence. for this is the very God
represent
THAT was different from how
are you fixed on religions this
morning. He sold Athens. inter
ested them, and aroused their curl
osity"
The lecturer asserted that the big
Job in America today is distribution
and that retail failures must be
eliminated, predicting that the
time is not far off when men will
have to take examinations if they
wish to enter business. because
every failure costs the people
money.
He remarked that men save until
they have a few thousand dollars
and then without any business

In contact with these improve

OF US truthfully say that they are
not worth all the energies that

lived in Marion County before the

have you noticed the vast improve

noticed how bigger and better
school buildings were built, like
wise bigger and better homes.
From these past experiences we
have ample evidence that paved
highways not only make but
actually accelerate progress in
each and every line OF endeavor.
Good roads are now being planned
and built in every part Of the
world, and nothing but a selfish
mood can stop their popularity.
Had it not been for hard roads
many counties in this state today
would yet to have to see their first
four wheeled vehicle. We have ex.

benefits that can be accorded to
US only by good roads. so why not
continue with this progressive
movement. Roads are like a bust

we make them better. 1t is true
that these improvements will cost
money. but then again same as in
business. 1t is necessary to spend

should lead in careful driving, in proper regard for

speed. The club should take pride in setting the
example for other drivers.

THE LAST WORD.

HERE should not be an idle hour between
y now and the close OF the bond election to-
morrow, for the Union District supporters of the
goodsfoads movement. II the issue is to carry II
means strenuous, %unremitting effort upon the part
Of every voter who wishes 1t to win.
1.-THE weather Is bad ltSmea that much greater
effort. Unless every favorable ]roteis polled there
Is every chance OF defeat. Union District will
never need her progressive men and women to
stand by her as she will in tomorrow's election. The
proposition involved is the most important that has
ever beer, presented TO the voters OF the district and
~ means. one Of two things. H. the bond issue car
ries,4 Union District will take her place in the
county advance, able TO offer the same o%pportun-
tiles to her citizens and to home builders and in
vestors, that other county districts can offer, and
able to pull her community together in their
interests because of their accessibility to each
other. II the bond issue fails, the district will
stagnate. With every natural advantage OF other
districts, 1t will fall behind because-3it cannot
deyelope its possibilities.
The majority Of the Union District citizens
realize this. Numbers, who at first opposed the
issue hayesbeeome seonYinSeds that the lack OF i'm
proved roads will be an unbearabIe hindrence 10

BRAND NEW REBORN rARrY

M oDERN life has produced one brand new
4F4 thing and that is the male reform society.
1t used. to be the women and girls who organized to
reform certain evils, most especially men. But now
the feminine interest has r~elegated reform to the
attic and, having cut loose from hampering and
irkscme conventions, is sailing along with a dash
that is disconcerting to the masculine mind accus-
toned to attend to the sailing business-with little
competition.
Sauce for the goose is highly splced nowadays,
and for the average man a veryslittle spice in his
own domestic program Is d great plenty. Hence
the reform societies organized by young men. New
Mexico produced the latest one, in which fifty
young mensthaye formed a combination for the
elimination Of the tlapper. 1t is to be hoped that
these young men will extend their attention TO
the male correspondent of the tlapper, now charac-
terized by New York newspapers as the "%flipper."
II the organization numbers any clippers among
It's membership they should also be promptly ex-
tinguished.
A reform needs to work both ways to be success
full Il the youngismen from New Mexico could
make their orsapization an international one, a
disguised and weary world would probably erect
a monument to them II they earnestly pursued
their reform to a triumphant end. A glad adieu
would be extended any time to the "~flapper.

IMPROVED ROADS

Fairmont, April 1o.-tEditor,
The West Northumberland me
through your columns to say a
word to the voters OF Union Dis
trict On the bond issue that /e Ne
called upon to cast our ballots to-.
morrow.
There is no question in my mind
but what our people want improve
ments, and will vote for good roads
with an overwhelming majority II
they understand. the proposition.
In the first place It is. requiring
about all the money the city has
to spend on our side of the river,
TO maintain the main thorough
fares foT the constantly increasing
traffic. The city Is obliged to keep
up these streets in as good shape
as possible. leading from the end
Of the new bridge to the Winfield
District line and to the corporate
limits on the Grafton and Benton's
Ferry roads. To do this. other
streets will necessarily have to be,
neglected. A great many OF our
streets are practically impossible
for modern traffic now.
The city cannot require thd
property holder along the streets
proposed to be improved, to assist
in repaving them, because they
have been paved and It has been
the city and general public that has
gotten the streets into their ter
rible condition and not the abut-
ting property holder.
In the second place. this bond
issue is a Union District PROPOSE
ton. Does 1t not appear reason
able that when the district paves
all the streets designated. that
all the money the city has been
spending and will have to- continue
to spend on these thoroughtares.
can be transferred and expended
on all the other streets Of East
Side.
Much has been said about the
brick that is to be taken up. The
County Court will turn all the
brick over to the city, and the city
will donate them for the improve
ments OF the other streets on the
East Side. There Is something
over two. miles Of these streets,
varying In width. and I am sure
there will be enough streets con-
form to the requirements Of the
city to take all the brick. I do not
believexthat a wagon load Of old
brick was wasted on the west side
when they paved their streets. I
also understand that the. brick will
be delivered to the street receiving
them, as this item has been con-
sidered in the cost OF excavation.
The question OF taxes l do not
take seriously. ] ANA taxpayer on
both sides Of the, river. l think the
