The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1922-12-15

Jim Andrews, around at the Ameri-
Lean National Bank, the one who fig
Iures all Of us Borrowers out of inter
est, says The journal isn't the same
Ion the mornings this column is alb
dsent and when a man talks like that
ITO me 1 don't mind giving up the in
.terest that bankers have a way of
| taking, and at the same time appear
| to be doing you favor.
Jim Andrews is a Pensacola boy
who, all of his life, has striven to
| bring about higher order of citizen
ship in the community where he re-
Fsides. While he works in quiet
manner. he is, nevertheless, working
ali Of the time. Jim takes an active
|. part in the Methodist Sunday school
work-takes special pride in inter-
esting young people in taking part in
church affairs-but The Journals
linotype operators and the proofread-
ers came near upsetting all Of Jim's
reputation the other day.
1t seems that the society editor
wrote a piece about an entertainment
held at the Andrews home and men
toned that the evening was spent in
playing games" But the typesetter
evidently had his mind on a game of
rummy, for he made it read play
ing cards." and the proofreader failed
to make the correction.
Now you know these Methodist peo-
pie don't believe in playing cards. 1t
is against their church rules, and
card playing is taboo in the Andrews
home, just like il is in the other good
Methodist homes, and Jim Andrews
was made to appear as something of
Ia hypocrite, which is one thing tnat
Jim is not.
fhf Oh ho
error, and l wanted to make a cor
rection, but he said not to do so, for
everybody knew that there wasn't
any card playing at his home.
Jim wants this column to appear in
larger tyDs, and l will make the type
larger just as soon as he gets in
frame of mind to make his interest
charges smaller. The type is now six
point and he wants eight point. He
charges eight per cent and want six
rcr cent, which shows tFat / know
more about his business than he does,
and that he thinks he knows more
about mine than I do.

Won permit your thoughts to dwell
unon the homes where there will be
no Christmas joy and gladness; where

There will be such homes in Pen

otherwise. 49,,
