M..tl. Of the Minister.

The buckeye schoolhouse stood on
the extreme west side OF the village.
A plain one-room building OF the gen
eral type Of the period--palnt gone |;
weather.beaten no belfry: no orna-
mentatlon; three windows on each
side: a chimney at the back; q nat.
tered door In front.
The festival" In celebration Of the
close OF school was a distinct event at
Buckeye.
The pupils desks had been removed
and placed around .he walls. A long
table extended across the rear. The
rest Of the room was clear, except for
the great box stove that stood In the
center OF the floor, rusty red, and huge
enough and deep enough to swallow q
stick OF cord-wood whole
Everything was free, each family
that sent children TO school bringing a
wellflled basket. And such feast
US the housewives OF the neighborhood
furnished forth could have been found
nowhere else In the land except there
In the great Flatwoods that lay,
warped and Wild, along the north bank
Of the upper Wabash.
Uncle Nick was there-whlch meant
that things were not likely to drag.
for he was the wisest, wittiest, and.
rs he himself said. 'the no-accountest"
man In the Flatwoods--a freeand.
easy, happy-go-lucky, catch.as-catch-
can sort OF man.
He had been great hunter and Dor
der ranger In his time, having come 10
the Wabash country when II was still
the frontier and the Indians made II
dangerous, Nearly forty years before,
u man in his pride and prime. he had
been one OF Harrlson's most trusted
scouts, and had borne an honorable
part In the grim and deadly struggle
that took place In the early dawn upon
that swamp-bound point OF woodland
on the Tppeesnoe.
Aunt Liza, the "other half' OF Uncle
Nick, was there too but n he had
an oversupply OF Jolllty In his dlsposi-
tlon, she had a far greater over
supply Of grimness. Aunt Liza was
the one person In the world on whom
Uncle Nick's wit fell flat.
In all matters pertaining TO their few
acres Of bottom land. and In their
cabin home little way up Eagle Hol-
low road. her word was law.
Uncle Nick was perched upon one
OF the desks. his back TO the wall. his
eyes twinkllng merrily. already an In.

of procedure of the Federal Trade
Commission which will give it
more constructive purpose. Rec
concentrations were made for
strengthening the Army and
Navy and for perfecting the de-
fenses of the Panama Canal. Fol-
lowing in the footsteps of his pre-
decessor, President Coolidge stat
ed that I'VE want no more COM
petitive ornaments. We want no
more war. But we want no
weakness that invites imposition.
A people who neglect their ma
tionai defense are putting in
jeopardy their national honor"
1t was Mr.. Coolidge'e conten-
ton that Congress ought to pro-
vide by constitutional amend
ment, an appropriate legislation
for a limitation of child labor,
and in all cases under the exclus-
i've jurisdiction of the Federal
Government a minimum wage
law for women, which would I'M
doubtedly find sufficient power
of enforcement in the influence
of public opinion" He went on
record as against the making of
appropriations from the National
Treasury to be expended directly
on local education but approved
the proposal of a seperate depart
ment and a place in the Cabinet
for education and allied subjects
of welfare.
One of the real important rec
concentrations in the Presidents
message was for the appointment
of small joint committee to con-
slider offers and negotiate for the
disposal of the Muscle Shoals. He
favors relief legislation for occu-
pants of government reclamation
projects who are in financial diff
ficulties and recommended a seri-
Gus consideration of the subject
by Congress. The President stat
ed that highways and reforestra-
ton should continue to have the
interest and support of the gov
eminent. He has made a liberal
proposal in the budget for con-
tinuing payment to the states by
the Federal Government of its
share for highways.
Mr.. Coolidge told Congress that
the time was not ripe for the
recognition of Russia. He said
that the administration has a
direct interest in the economic
recovery of Europe because of
the current debt due from for
eign governments. Congress was
advised that the President was
opposed to the cancellation of
foreign debts and would expect
the foreign governments to meet
their obligations.

Little II l[ks
With Little
Advertisers
The Use of Blind Ads.

Classified Ads, in
which no name or adj
dress is given but in
stead a box number at
the newspaper office.
are known as "blind"
ads. They probably
take the name from the
fact that in answering
them, the reader has no
knowledge of whom he
is addressing. And
therein is contained
something that every
Classified AID user
should ponder well.
Many people do not
like to answer "blind".
ads. Some of them, I'M
accustomed to the prac-
tice in classified adver-
Using, are timid about
doing so for fear of
fancied complications.
But many people do
not reply to blind ads
because they do not like
the possibility of being
annoyed later in the
event they do not for
any reason, accept the
proposals the ad con-
tains. Still others do
not reply to a blind adj
because it is a bit "out
of the way" to drop in
at a newspaper office
and write a reply.
On the other hand, if
deeply interested in the
I'D and impressed by
its pulling power, many
readers will answer a
blind ad either by mail
ing a letter to the box
number given or by
calling at the news
paper office. Hence
the question arises as to
when to use a blind adj
and when not to use
a blind ad. 1t is easily
answered.
The blind ad is for
the convenience and pro-
lection of the adver-
tiser. Never use a blind
ad through timidity,
false pride or shame.
If any of these three
factors enter into your
advertising, do not adj
yertise at all. You
probably will not a
make a success at it any,
how. But there are
times when you should
use a blind ad for your
convenience and for
best results.
Employers seeking
particular kinds of en-
ployes use the blind ad
advantageously as it
prevents ann oyance
from the usual motley
array of unemployed
who always imagine
they have every quail
fication specified al
though they possess not
a one. The employer
can sort over the re-
plies, investigate and
decide upon personal
interviews at leisure.
Frequently you may
wish to buy or sell
something without gos-
sip by the neighbors.
1t is none of the neigh
bors' business most as
suredly. You may use
a blind ad conveniently.
In real estate transac-
tons, it often happens
that for business rea-
sons, the advertiser does
not care to disclose his
identity at that stage of
proceedings. He uses
the blind ad. Similar
other cases will occur
to you, should you have
occasion to consider the
matter.
AS a rule, best results
are obtainable when
you candidly state YOUR
