THE POT CALLS
THE KETTLE BLACK.

Charles D. Hills, Republican ma
tional committeeman from New
York, says the election of Henry
Ford, to whom he refers as "a mere
bag of gold" to the presidency
would be bowling down to mammon.
If that's not the pot calling the
kettle black, what is? A Republican
national committeeman railing
about bowling down to mammon-
to money-to gold It's amusing.
The Republican party has had its
head SO deep in the pots of gold"
it hasn't stopped to look over the
top and see whether it is day or
night There's no eight hour shift

GONE OUT
OF BUSINESS.

There is an old Latin adage
which says, "Caveat Emptor."
Translated, it means, LET the
Buyer beware"
1t put the burden of seeing
that one got his moneys worth
on the purchaser. 1t warned him
to enter shop with his eyes
wide open, to have faith in no
one, to keep his fingers crossed
and then trust to Providence that
he didn't lose his eye teeth in the
bargain.
Advertising hds put "Caveat
Emptor" out Of business.
Today, merchants and manu-
facturers can't afford to risk
the disappointment and disap-
approval of a dissatisfied Gus
toner. 1t is too easy for the Gus
toner 10 pick up a paper and find
plenty OF other places where
real dollar value is given and
where they practice the modern
slogan I'VE strive to please"
The god will of the buying
public is the goal Of the modern
seller, Without it, his business
cannot ucceed.
Every time he adyertises he
puts his good name in your
hands. his products must make
good. They must be as adver-
tised.
That's why it pays to read the
advertisements and to buy advcr-
tised goods. It's a good business
policy.

WHAT'S YOUR
TIME WORTH?

When you go to buy a pair Of
boots, can Of peas or a kitchen
cabinet, do you know exactly what
you want-or do you shop around
and take pot luck?
You can save many hours time
and many a good hard dollar
by knowing beforehand what you
want, where to get it, and approx
mately how much it will cost.
You can always know this much
before you enter a store.
If it's clothing, you know how
well it should wear and what the
style should be, If it's a musical in
strument, you know what to expect
in tone and workmanship. If it's
a carpet sweeper, you know what
kind of service it should give.
Merchants with established repu-
tations for honesty are the best
with whom to deal
Merchandise with established
reputation is the best to buy.
The only way to be sure of the
goods you buy is to read the adver-
tisements in this paper regularly
AS practice it's far better than
rummaging around.
1t saves time. 1t saves money.
Read the advertisements.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, June
| 3O.-While his mother sat at the
head of the table weeping, with
her face buried in her hands. 80
men who bear lasting scars of
their services for the allies in
the world war last night silently
drank a toast to man who went
down on a German U-boat in
1918.
he was the son of Madame
Ernestine Schumann-heink, in
whose honor as the most dis
tinguished delegate" to the con-
yention Of the disabled American
Veterans of the World War, a
dinner was given.
Il have two things to ask of
you" Madame Schuman-H eink
said, "Will you promise me these
two things?"
First, that you will never be-
lieye any false stories you may
hear about me, stories that | was
a German spy, that / was untrue
to this, my country, and to you.
The second promise | ask of
you is that, when | am dead. and
it won't be many more years now,
you will see to it that | am bur
Ter in America, in my country.
And, boys, maybe | could have in
a way, the burial Of a soldier.
Not any fuss.
Have them play the Taps
over my grave, as l have sung it
to you. Will you promise?"
Every one of the 80 veterans
silently stood up as she finished.
raised his right hand and gave his
solemn pledge.
Il had son in the German
navy. He was mistaken, but he
did what he believed was right.

never have. Remember, boys, |
was his mother, the same as l
was the mother of four sons serv-
ing with my country's Forces"
said Madame Schumann-Heink.
And now," Colonel George E.
Leach. mayor of Minneapolis,
said. 81 promise a toast to that
man who went down on the Ger
man U-boat in 1918.
Silently the 30 men arose
and raised their glasses. Madame
Schumann-Heink sank into he1
chair and covered her face with
her hands. Her sobs could be
heard by all.
And then those 30 men paid
her perhaps the finest tribute
she has ever received. Silently,
with bowed heads, they stood
and waited until she had left the
room.
Many years ago we knew a lit
tie man, with a broken voice,
who once sang on the Metropol-
itan stage with Madame Schu-
mann-Heing. he was perpetually
broke. Seldom did he have dime.
Word came one day that the
great singer would pass through
the little Southern town where
our friend was living. Begging a
dime here, borrowin" nickle
there, he succeeded in accumulat-
ing several dollars. Rushing to
the florist he demanded the best
in his shop.
When the train came to a mo-
mentary halt. he sprang to the
platform and into the arms of
the great singer She crushed him
to her breast and as they stood |
there. the tears streaming from
their eyes, each wished the other
neyer-ending success and happi-
ness. This little old broken man,
with frayed coat and soiled col
lar, was dearer to the woman's
heart than the multitude which
had gathered to welcome her.
