A Good Example DO FolIow

Lolita Crabtree, noted actress of a
day that has gone, who died the
other day. worth four million dollars,
set an example that should ever be
held before men of wealth, to show
the possibilities of doing good that
lie within their grasp.
She did not leave her estate for
relatives to quarrel over, but willed
it to those persons and objects
that she held dear during her life.
Miss Crabtree knew the misery
and dIsappointments Of poverty and
misfortune. She knew the trials
of those who had not prospered as
she, because as a child she saw the
sinful life of the California mining
towns when she danced for drunken
miners who threw gold at her feet.
The poorest of US dream of being
able to give material help to the
less fortunate, but how many of US
would be so unselfishly liberal if
we were blessed with the opportunity

Ohserve The Hoo.

The hog has been maligned and
libeled, according to John M. Evvard,
professor of animal husbandry of
Iowa State College.
When we think of hogs we think
of gluttons. When human beings
gorge themselves on food, in derision
people call them pigs.
But human beings can learn a les
son from the hog, according to this
educator, who advises those who
want to learn how to keep fat and
fit, to study the occupants of the
sty.
Long age the hog was slender,
bony fellow, when the business of
roofing for living was more SER
ious than it is now. Then man took
him in hand and made life easy-and
now look at him.
All this is because farmers treat
hogs more like humans.
Hogs have profited by being do
mesticated, but some people, with all
their superior ability, have not
learned as much as the hog.
The hog is possessed of the same
traits as man and he isn't as low in
intelligence as the majority believe,
but stands with the horse in reason
ing power.
SO let's give the hog credit for
making something of his opportuni-
ties, which is more than ca be said
of people who waste or bury their
talents.

Good Manners.

The lll-mannered boy invariably be-
comes an ill-mannered man are the
girl who has no manners grows up to
be woman whom everybody dis
likes.
An ill-mannered man is not often
successful in a business which re-
quires that he come into daily con-
tact with the buying public.
An ill-mannered woman never has
any friends and lives dissatisfied
and disconnected life.
School teachers are always en-
deavoring to improve the manners of
their pupils, but they find it difficult
where good manners are not taught
in the home.
Parents who wish happy life for
their children, both in a business way
and socially, viii begin to teach early
that to have friends, it is necessary
to recognize the wishes and privileges
of others.

Conserving Savings.

1t is just as much the part of thrift
to know what to do with money as it
is to save money.
Postmaster General New says that
one billion dollars a year is lost an
nually by the people of the United
States who purchase fraudulent Sc
curities through the mail. This sum
is equal to two-thirds of the estimat-
ed total cost of government in the
United States, including federal,
state, county, city and town ex-
penses.
And this makes it manifest that
one of our greatest public duties is
to strike at fraud, which cheats peo-
pie out of their savings, whenever
it raises its head.
The government is doing everything
it can to encourage the saving of
money and the banks are lending
valuable assistance with their
laudable efforts. In the schools,
children are being taught to save
through the estat lishment of school
savings banks.
But more will have to be done and
said to impress upon the minds of
people that the proper care of saw
rngs constitutes a very vital part of
thrift.
A billion dollars a year absolutely
thrown away is heavy penalty to
pay for national ignorance in matters
of personal management.

Human Weakness.

Human weakness has been put TO
a hard test in recent months.
An Illinois minister has confessed
poisoning his wife and conceiving
the plan for his affinity to poison her
husband that they might wed.
An Oklahoma minister ran away
with a fourteen-year-old girl and
was arrested for the crime.
A New York state preacher was
convicting of the charge of outrag-
ing public decency by his associa-
lions with a young woman.
But it is not good logic to reason
that all clergymen are of the same
stripe Where one minister reveals
himself a moral pervert, there are
thousands who are pure and
spiritual.

ANDY MELONS Aluminium
Company of America, in other words,
the aluminium trust" has become
one of the issues Of the presidential
campaign. The Federal Trade
Commission, suddenly coming to life,
sent report to the Senate on trade
conditions among manufacturers of
house furnishings, and, among other
things, charged that the Aluminium
Company is a monopoly within the
meaning of the Sherman Antitrust
Law The Democrats, of course,
have jumped at the chance to use
the official Government report on
MELONS business activities in the
campaign against Coolidge.
THERE EXISTS some mystery
about the retirement of "Uncle
Charlie" Patton as the White House
Gardner, a title which was given him
when the late President Harding
brought the venerable Charlie to
Washington from Marion, o., four
years ago. Charlie has quit the
White House flat, and he had no
kind words for president Coolidge
when he left, declaring that Senator
LaFollette was Second Roosevelt"
and that he would be the next
President.
